The Fanning Sisters join “My Sister’s Keeper”
GENIUS CASTING!!! This is funny – when I was reading this book, I pictured Dakota Fanning as the younger sister. They both are remarkably talented – so I think this is brilliant casting.
Thespian prodigies Dakota and Elle Fanning have agreed to play Cameron Diaz’s daughters in My Sister’s Keeper for director Nick Cassavetes.
The film is an adaptation of Jodi Picoult’s 2004 novel about a young girl (to be played by 9-year-old Elle) who sues her parents for emancipation after they conceived her in hopes that her genes would save the life of her cancer-stricken sibling (13-year-old Dakota).
The project reunites Cassavetes with screenwriter Jeremy Leven and producer Mark Johnson, two key members of his team behind the hit tearjerker The Notebook. It’s due to start shooting early next year.

i LOVE this book! I cant wait for the movie. I am not too sure of Cameron Diaz as the mom, someone more serious would make for better casting. Maybe Reese??
