Emily in My Sister's Keeper

I read it in some interview and then had to double check on imdb.com....she plays a doctor, I'm guessing it's a small role.

I loved the book- I hope the movie is a good!

Thanks for sharing. Have yet to read the book plan to when i finish reading a book that I am presently in. Will definitely keep my eye out for her when I go see the movie.

I am in the process- a very very slow process- of reading the book and I'll see how much Dr. Farquad is in the book, I assume that would determine how much she'll be in the movie.

She is a radiology technician, at least that's what I was told. Great book. I cried for days over it...we'll see how the movie goes

It's bizarre that imdb just recently updated that. They filmed it around this time last year and I knew she was in it. I kept checking imdb and I was tempted to e-mail them to let THEM know she is in it. I got a BUNCH of casting notices for the film, but none of them fit me personally

I am in the-slow- process of reading the book and so far I've only seen her character in like a small part. I know I'm going to cry. My mom insists, I won't... psht

I haven't read the book but I want to see the movie

I recommend reading the book first. I say that because the book (so far) is really good, and movies sometimes tend to ruin it, then you'll never read the book.

For example, I took my sister to see Twilight, and the movie sucked so much that I will not read the book though she insists the book is better. I've grown a deep deep hatred towards it... It could also be the insane amount of hype it got, considering the movie sucked.

I just reread the Dr. Farquad scenes and I can definitely see Emily in the role. Not sure I'll see it in theaters, though.

My friends and I are going on the day it comes out if I can manage to finish the book first.

I pictured Emily in the part, she's got all the Dr. lingo down.

I was at the theatre today and saw the poster for My Sister's Keeper in the section of coming attractions. I looked for Emily's name. It wasn't in the star section, it wasn't in the co-star section. I never did see it ... so it must not be a very big part.

I was kinda bummed.

No she doesn't play a main character. But i went on imdb.com and saw that the boy who plays the brother- Jesse- is played by the kid who played "David Cook" (Not the season 7 AI winner) in the 1st season episode "The Boy in The Bush" He was the older brother the younger brother was played by the kid who played "Dustin" in Zoey 101. But i thought that was funny, maybe they caught up on old times... Both looked at each other and went, "I know you." LOL

I read the book first, and honestly I'm glad I did it that way. Had I watched the movie first, I might've liked it but it would not have turned out like I expected.

It will definitely end up being a small part, but good to know that she's in it. I'll be bawling like a baby anyway.

yeah. Her part is small. So I don't think it's really worth paying the money to see the movie expecting to see Emily in a major part of the movie only to be disappointed to see her in only like two minutes of the movie.... But I look forward to this movie. I'm going to cry so hard! I'm going with my friend and she and I are going to hold each other and cry.

Im looking forward to this movie..although i dont trust book to movie adaptations, as im yet to really find one i like (maybe a few exceptions...)

I liked "A walk to remember" over the book. I'm on the fence with "Bridge to Terabithia" I liked both a lot. I heard they changed the ending for this one though.

Really? They changed the ending for "My Sister's Keeper"? Do we know that as a fact? 'Cuz I don't see how it will really work, the ending is the whole point! And that doesn't give anything away, RGP!

yes, please don't give it away. But I don't know it for a fact, that popped up in conversation yesterday when my friend and I were at the movies and saw the preview for it. But maybe I can look into it?? I don't know.

Right now, in the book, I'm at the part where Anna was born. It's good, but a slow read. Usually I crank out books faster than this. Maybe I'll read out by the pool today.

CHange the ending?? that would just be weird...wouldn't even be the same movie...

Well don't tell me how it ends, but I was saying what I heard. It might not be true. I'll sleuth around and see what I can find.

Well, as I drove past the theatre marquis this morning I saw that this movie was playing this weekend. Did anybody go see it? How was it?? No spoilers, just ... how was it?

It was okay, definitely not what I was expecting. Emily's part was very small, but she definitely fit the part well. They changed a few things storyline and time wise, and yes...they changed the ending. But I won't say how or anything like that, because I don't want to spoil anyone.

Thanks, Gardenia. I don't know anything of the story so I won't have to deal with any changes from the book. I hope it's good. I'm taking off a little early tomorrow to go hit the late matiness with my sister. I'll post back with the knowing-nothing-going-in perspective. I'm not sure that'll do anybody on here any good, most everyone here is a big reader!

I went to see this this afternoon. I thought it was very good! I didn't have to deal with having read the book first. I did notice while the opening credits were rolling that Caleb Deschanel was the Director of Photography, and I thought that was very well done. The music was especially wonderful.

It was a tear jerker though, so be sure and bring tissues with you!

And one more thing, Jason Patric was especially wonderful in this movie. I don't recall ever seeing him in anything before, but my sister and I were whispering about him a few times. I just went and googled him and didn't see anything especially wonderful in the pics, but in the movie - very, very nice! Maybe it was the part he played, but OMG!
