[mza]

Has anybody who has read the book seen the trailer? I have been hearing the book is good and the movie is supposed to be also - any thoughts?

 

[mmm_sofay]

ooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh
ive read all the books.
there turning it into a movie?
wow.
will it be good? i mean, the books are great, but do i want to see the movie?

 

[persephone]

it has that chick from gilmore girls in it. i wonder if it'll ruin the book.....

 

[persephone]

just saw a peek from the movie on entertainment tonight. that girl from joan of arcadia is in it, she plays tibby. it looks pretty good. much better than i expected.

 

[mmm_sofay]

when does it come out?

 

[persephone]

a good site for movie release dates is http://www.yourmovies.com.au/releaseDates/

and www.yourtv.com.au is an online tv guide, for future reference

and the film comes out 14 July 2005

aw what? alexis biedel appears to be playing lena. she is noway a sutiable lena. surely they could have found someone more suitable...more greek. and as a whole i think they cast the actors too old.

 

[persephone]

i know, alexis bledel isn't very greek looking and yes they are way too old for their characters

 

[moffat]

and just going from memory...isnt lena described as having olive skin and dark curly hair? and (whilst being skinny) having curves.

 

[lousie89]

Yes, i agree. I think that they shoul dhave gotten someone who actually looked Greek. Alexis Bledel , if you looked at her for a long time, seems somewhat a little Greek doesn't she??

Or am I wrong?

ooooooo
how totally exciting - i loved the books
i seriously had noooo idea that they were turning it into a movie
that's really awesomely cool =D

anyone know any details regarding when [around when] it's gonna be released?

 

[modelzsuck]

Yeah I love these books I am just finishing the third one, I hate how they put ppl who are too old in the roles and ruin the book like how I think Delta Goodrem in Hating Alison Ashley is going to ruin it.

Trailer

I don't know if my last post worked or not but...

I just checked out the trailer and it looks like it is going to be a pretty good movie - here is a link for those who have not seen it

http://movies.yahoo.com/feature/thesisterhoodofthetravelingpants.html

I read that Ann Brashares was happy at how the movie turned out which seems rare these days for an author to like how their work is truned into a movie

 

[cholly]

harry potter movies has totally spoiled it for me...i doubt if ill go see the travelling pants movie....

 

[modelzsuck]

Yeah I checked out the trailer, it seems okay, but not as good as i would like it to be, i think its going to be another one of those disapointers like harry potter, bridget jones diary, etc.

Movie directors do it all the time for obvious reasons. Rachel McAdams was 27 when she played a 16 year old on Mean Girls. I don't think an actual 16 year old would've pulled off the part very well unless they were very mature for their age.

 

[modelzsuck]

But it trying to make it better by more maturity they screw it up for ppl.

 

[mza]

I agree with prima donna - age doesnt mean all that much - it is more if the actor/actress can make the audience believe that they are a certain age and act accordingly - not only in the movies but also on television

olivia newton john was 36 when she played the 17 yr old sandy in 'grease'

 

[girl__upstairs]

As a fan of the books, im unsure about the movie.
I guess I'll go see it with an open mind, and hope that it keeps fairly faithful to the original books
