I think it should be-
Jennifer Aniston and Matthew McConnagehy
or
Seth Rogan and Anne Hathaway
Instead of all these late twenties or thirtysomething actors in denial over their ages trying to pass themselves off as college-age kids (as did the original cast members 32 year old Ali McGraw and 29 year old Ryan O’Neal), I’d like to suggest two actors who are actually entering their college-age years as the two principals: AnnaSophia Robb as Jenny Cavalleri and Josh Hutcherson as Oliver Barrett IV. I could also see Robert Patrick as Oliver Barrett III and Latham Gaines as Phil Cavalleri.
Five years ago in
Bridge to Terabithia, AnnaSophia and Josh played two kids who meet as classmates in school. Despite a significant difference in socioeconomic background, the two form a very close, mutually supportive (“us against the world”) and loving relationship. Robert Patrick plays the boy’s father, who is cold, demanding and controlling toward his son, and the girl helps him to cope with that fractured relationship. Latham Gaines plays the girl’s gregarious father, with whom the boy forms a closer bond than with his own father. Then the girl dies suddenly, and afterward the boy’s father shows up to console him, and the boy realizes that Dad isn’t the cold, manipulative SOB that he thought he was....
Oh, never mind! This suggested cast already
did a remake of
Love Story!
