Filming of “My Sister’s Keeper” has started!

Cameron’s busy widening her range of movies with the upcoming drama “My Sister’s Keeper” which now has started filming! She’ll play the role of Sara Fitzgerald, a former defense attorney who returns to the courtroom to defend herself and her husband when they are sued by their 13-year-old daughter for emancipation. The girl was conceived as a genetic match with the hope she could prolong her cancer-ridden sister’s life. The movie sounds really interesting and it’ll be great to see Cameron in this kind of movie! Click on the preview to the right to see the 2 6 photos from the set. She looks fantastic in long locks and a gray jacket and skirt. Once again, thanks to CD Fan for keeping me updated (especially as I experienced a power blackout earlier tonight).

The other “Sister’s Keeper”

If one sister goes the other follows and that appears to be the deal as Dakota Fanning and Elle Fanning have departed the Nick Cassavetes film My Sister’s Keeper as sources say Dakota Fanning balked at a request that she shave her head for the role and both sisters withdrew abruptly.

Elle was replaced by superstar Abigail Breslin and Dakota was replaced by Sofia Vassilieva who is best known for playing Ariel Dubois on “Medium” and is apparently willing to shave her blonde locks.

Also starring in the film are Cameron Diaz, Alec Baldwin and Joan Cusack. The drama was adapted from the Jodi Picoult novel by Jeremy Leven and Diaz will play a former defense attorney who returns to the courtroom to defend herself and her husband when they are sued by their 13-year-old daughter (Breslin) for emancipation. The girl was conceived as a genetic match with the hope she could prolong her cancer-ridden sister’s (Vassilieva) life.

The pic is set up at New Line and production is still on track for March.

Fanning-sisters join Diaz in “My Sister’s Keeper”

I guess it’s official now that Cameron will star in the drama “My Sister’s Keeper”. This means another new movie for Cami-fans to look forward to!

Because according to Variety.com, New Line Cinema has set siblings Dakota and Elle Fanning to star with Cameron Diaz in “My Sister’s Keeper”, the Nick Cassavetes-directed adaptation of the Jodi Picoult novel. Production begins this March in Los Angeles.

Elle Fanning will play a young girl who sues for emancipation from her parents. Mom and Dad conceived her as a genetic match with the hope she could prolong her cancer-ridden sister’s life.

Jeremy Leven wrote the script, and Mark Johnson will produce. Both teamed with Cassavetes and New Line on “The Notebook.”

The girls are younger than they were in Picoult’s novel, but a decision was made to cast them younger because it was age-appropriate for Diaz.
