Yeah!!! One of my all-time favorite novels, The Help, is being made into a movie, to be released in August 2011.
This update provides some details, and here are some stills from the movie (apparently, they've already begun filming). It looks so good, doesn't it? I can't wait!!
What do you think of the actresses they chose for the lead roles? Will you go see the movie?
Hi Sue! Thanks for blogging about this, especially the still photos. I think I like the cast. I'm glad that there are no "superstars" but instead, wonderful character actors. Can't wait to see Sissy Spacek, I think she's just the best!
ReplyDeleteSame here, Mary! I hate when they cast superstars into book roles - this cast looks pretty good! I'm guessing Sissy Spacek must play one of the young woman's mothers (maybe Skeeter?) Looks good so far!

Sue, I am looking forward to this movie as well. I did not realize that I have to wait until August 2011...LOL
ReplyDeleteIt does seem like a long way off, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteThey're also working on a Hunger Games movie - that one hasn't even cast its actors yet.

Thanks for the update. I was worried when I heard they were making this book (one of my favorites) into a movie. As Mary said, I'm so glad they didnt' pick any superstars. This movie will be so much better with relative unknowns in the main roles. NOW I'm looking forward to it! YAY!
