So, they are making a movie with Viola Davis (probably as Ruth) and Julia Roberts (probably as Kennedy. For me, part of the story is that this is Kennedy's first murder trial, and Julia seems too old to play that part). Who do you see in other roles? I'm a big fan of Charlie Hunan and as much as I HATE Turk, I can see Charlie doing it justice.

Teresa, as much as I hate Turk, I can see Charlie doing it justice. And, any chance to see Charlie on screen.....

I see Taraji Henson as Ruth, and Natalie Portman as Kennedy. Not sure who I see as Turk.

Interesting-- I didn't know about the movie, but I kept picturing Ruth as looking like Viola Davis, then was thinking that Ruth would be younger than the actress. I sure do agree with you about Julia Roberts being too old to play Kennedy as the character is written in the novel, but maybe they will alter the character for the movie. I could see them making Kennedy older and making her daughter a teen classmate of Ruth's son Edison.
