Who Should Play Ramona Quimby, Age 8?

Casting News: Sarah Polley and... Jared Leto?
Here's a weird news item for the day: Jared Leto has been cast in a romantic comedy titled Mr. Nobody. Wait, it gets weirder: his costar in the movie is Sarah Polley, the smart, thoughtful writer/director of Away From Her, one of this year's best movies (mark my words!). According to Hollywood Reporter:
Nobody is described as a multilayered love story inspired by the "butterfly effect," the chaos-theory notion that the beat of a butterfly's wings can cause a storm thousands of miles away.
Away From Her: Poignant But Not Sappy
I went into the Away From Her movie screening with a stack of tissues, fully prepared to bawl my eyes out over this story about a marriage being tested by Alzheimer's. Yet the sobfest never happened. The story is mostly sad, it's true, but it is also realistically told and casts an unapologetic light on each character.
Movie Preview: Away From Her
Already playing in select theaters, Away From Her has been slowly gaining buzz from its screenings at various film festivals for its flawless performances and beautiful direction. Directed by first-timer Sarah Polley, the movie tells a poignant tale of a long-term marriage being tested by Alzheimer's. This movie has been repeatedly popping up in my day-to-day conversations and I keep seeing rave reviews for it, so I've taken the hint: it's time to see this film.
