I think these people should play in it.
1. Loretta Divine - Annie
2. Scarlett Johansson - Lora
3. Lucy Hale - Sarah Jane
3. Hayden Panettiere - Susie
4. Madison Pettis - Young Sarah Jane
5. Elle Fanning - Young Susie
Don't worry be happy
I don't know about Scar Jo for Lora...don't you think she's too young? I haven't seen the movie in a LONG time, what was the age different between Annie & Lora? I thought Annie was old but I never thought she was THAT much older. But again I haven't seen it in a long time.
I really like Lucy Hale for Sarah Jane...but I dunno about Hayden. I really like Hayden but I just can't see her in the role. I also don't know that Scar Jo looks like she could be Hayden's mother.

I see what you mean about Scar. What about Charlize Theron. I think she's old enough.
"The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good"
you see with casting, its not just about the "look" you have to capture the characters essence.
Scar Joe can "play" ambition very well- Laura's ambition makes up for most of her character- HOWEVER, Scar Joe is too youthful for this part, we need someone with more of a cunning useless nature. That is how I see Laura.
Charlize Theron has the right age/look and would fare better than Scar Joe as Laura but i dont think we've nailed it yet.
someone else would fit better- but who is it??
I was closin in on another BarBarian!
Loretta Divine would make a PERFECT Annie. enough said.

Sadly, I don't think there are any young actors today that have the chops to handle a movie with such substance. To be fair, they maybe don't have the chance to really shine.(with the complete crap that's out there today)

I'm coming to this tread very late, but I agree with you. This film is very intense and the performances were pitch perfect. I can't think of anyone today would truly pull it off, but mainly because of what you said. A lot are not really given that change to shine.

Johannson is only five years older than Panettiere (although maybe HP could play the college-age Susie).
It's a very tough movie to cast because the two leads (Laura and Annie) have to age from their 20s at the beginning to their 40s at the end.

this was a remake.
shareActually, a third version now could be interesting.
Remember, only 25 years went by between the first two versions (1934-59).
Lana Turner made her film debut in 1937 -- she ALMOST could have played Suzie in the first version (she was a couple years too young).
But since it's now been 53 years since the 1959 version, a lot of things have changed and the storyline would have to be different.
It's not very likely these days that a struggling single-mother actress in her 20s would be hiring a live-in housekeeper (or for that matter could afford an apartment big enough for all 4 of them).
I suppose there could be some angle where Annie ran a day-care and as Lora became more successful, she hired her as an au-pair/household manager/live-in housekeeper.
Or you could flip-flop the whole dynamic, have Lora (white) be a struggling day-care operator and have Annie (black) the ambitious young woman going for success.
Have Sara Jane be the good girl who studies hard and aces her way into college, and Susie the bad girl who ends up stripping at 19 (Or, flip-flop it again -- have the lower-income working-class kid be the hard worker while the spoiled silver-spooner is the one who kinda turns into a floozy).
There might actually be a couple more interesting ways to take it.

Or either create a storyline in which a biracial is trying to identify herself. She know she is not white and she does no fit in as being fully black. So making a movie from this angle would be great.
shareLucy hale probably not. Sarah has to be racially ambiguous so she can go either way. I'd say someone who looks like jessica szohr or even Mila Kunis or Rashida Jones
