Two new roles for Fanning
Well actually there’s one role for each of the Fanning sisters in the movie My Sister’s Keeper. The movie will co-star Cameron Diaz as the mother of Dakota and Elle. The movie is from the writers and producers that also made the Notebook. The movie is about a young girl (Elle) who sues for emancipation from her parents, the only reason her parents got her was so they would have a genetic match for her sister (Dakota) who suffers from cancer.
This won’t be the first time that Elle and Dakota are in the same movie but it will be the first time that they’re on screen at the same time. The movie is based on the novel of the same name though the characters are a bit younger than in the book. Otherwise they would have gotten a completely different cast, so other mother and other kids.
That last part is already the main problem I see there; Elle is nine right now though the movie probably won’t start shooting for a while. Still once that starts she’ll probably be no older than ten, I don’t see how a ten year old can sue for emancipation from her parents. Otherwise the concept seems good for a drama and might show who of the Fanning sister has the upper hand talent wise.
I just hope that they can make the emancipation story believable for a ten year old otherwise this movie is going to suck just on that detail.
