I’m a new fan of Janet Evanovich and have read several of the Stephanie Plum novels. I can only see Sandra Bullock as Stephanie. She would have been perfect in the role. Sherri Shephard – right on as Lula. Cloris Leachman or Betty White would have been a hoot as Grandma Mazur. Joe Morelli needs to be a hunky Italian. What were the casting directors thinking? I hope they haven’t ruined the movie with mis-casting. It’ll be such a disappointment.

Gotta admit – my “Stephanie” pictured in my head while reading has always been Jennifer Esposito – even before she got more noteriety with the recurring “Bluebloods” role.. Perfect voice and hair. But movies of popular books can’t match anyone’s mental image of the book. Gotta judge it overall as a movie independent from the books.

WHAT THE HECK was the casting director, THINKING! NO WAY is Katherine Heigl, a Stephine Plum. I know she is a top pick for casting directors BUT NOT FOR THIS ROLE!!! I agree with Lula choice, but if u don’t have the correct Stephine, the whole movie will be a flop. SOOOOO depressed…..

If anyone has seen Heigl act, she generally plays a character that isn’t good under pressure and she does a great job. She’s a fantastic actress so I think she’ll do a good job, but I pictured someone with features a little harder than Heigl. Stephanie is about 5’7″ and Heigl is only two inches taller. Has anyone seen her in Killers? I think we’ll be ok. Sandra Bullock would probably have been perfect!!! I’m a little disappointed at the choice for Morelli, the guy seems to soft to be him. The should have consulted the fans!!! I think the other guy will do a good job as Ranger, but we’ll soon see!!

Can’t wait for the movie to be released. BUT my friends and I who are devoted fans think Stephanie should have been played by Sandra Bullock. That is my only comment!

So, I don’t think that they made the right choice for Stephanie Plum, but my theory when It comes to Katherine is she eith fails misrebly or knocks it out of the park. This is an extremely different role for her and I think she will play the accident prone part well if she can nail the actual character. Let’s give her a chance. As for Morrelli, that boy better get a tan and and attitude.
