OlderAbigail Breslin is My Sister’s Keeper
Little Miss Sunshine breakout star Abigail Breslin plays it cute in a few skirts on the set of her new film, My Sister’s Keeper, in Pasadena, Calif. on Thursday.
My Sister’s Keeper is a movie about a young girl who sues her parents for the right to make her own decisions about how her body is used when a kidney transplant is planned in order to potentially save her older sister. The Notebook’s Nick Cassavetes will direct.
According to Wiki, Dakota and Elle Fanning were originally set to play the sisters but Dakota changed her mind when she found out she would have to shave her head to play the leukemia-suffering character of Kate. Elle dropped out along with her sister, and they were replaced with Sofia Vassilieva (pictured below) and Breslin.
DO YOU THINK Sofia’s head is really bald or she’s wearing a bald cap?

omg i read this book..it was amazing..cant wait to wacth this..
Love Abigail…she is always natural and sweet in interviews and her movies, so far, have been very entertaining. LMS was adorable and she deserved a lot of credit for its success. Go Abigail!!!!!
Yeah, Sofia shaved her head for the role.
That’s fantastic! It’s one of my favorite Jodi Picoult books, ever.

Jodi Picoult has some great books, but my favourite is ‘My Sister’s Keeper’. I’ve been looking forward to this movie for ages and have to admit I don’t particulary like Dakota Fanning that much- but I don’t really know anything about her sister.
Anyone thought that Dakota might have been jealous because her sister would have had a bigger role?
I’m glad Abigail and Sofia have the roles.
# 7. That skirt is nothing- it’s not even that short and you’re just being stereotypical.
# 11. How on earth would you really know what Abigail is like? Seems more like you’re speaking for yourself there….
ARE YOU SERIOUS!
how would dakota get future roles if she shaved her head. all you people saying dakota isnt serious in this business, find out the facts. contracts were signed and dakota was NOT to shave her head. they movie would have been amazing with the fannings. good luck now.
Not only Sofia shaved her head, but her brows, too.
# 18 I know that you idiot. But these days whats the need to shave the head, use a bald cap! And in the book Kate has all her hair anyway. This movie will be ****.
Dakota would be ripped to **** for being bald, she gets ripped to **** for doing anything now anyway. Abby is the overrated one. Wtf did she get an Oscar nom for LMS? She didn’t do anything spectacular in that role at all, sure she was good but not worth an oscar, it’s so beyond me why they picked her. Now she’s getting every role for kids because they think she’s the best. And everyone’s backing her up on here because she got the nom. It’s all bullshit. I won’t see this movie, the media have handled this “Dakota being replaced” thing so ******* badly that I’m just going to refuse to see it. Nick Cassavetes is a ****.
I loved my Sisters Keeper. Since I have read it I have been anticipating the movie. In fact ‘The Lovely Bones’ by Alice Sebold is also a favorite book of mine being turned into a film - can’t wait for both of these!
As for all the negativity at Abigail Breslin - why so harsh? Just wait until the movie comes out and judge her then.
I will admit I was disappointed when I heard Dakota and Elle were pulling out just because Dakota wouldn’t shave her head, because I feel this will be an award winning film. But I am delighted Sofia has the role of Kate, and I am equally happy Abigail will play Anna.
Does anyone know who will play the mother?
Rayt, you need to change your tampon or if you’re a guy, go have a beer.
CALM DOWN!
Don’t want to watch the film? Your loss entirely. However, the way that you have ranted continuously about this subject, I believe you will indeed watch the film ;)
Dakota was willing to do a brutal rape scene in hopes for an Oscar which could affect her for her lifetime, but shaving hair it will grow back in time.
I can’t believe Sofia shaved off that AMAZING hair she had !!!! She had that reeeeeeeally long blonde hair, and she’s such a pretty girl… But I guess it does show she has guts though.And i think she’s a great actress.
I like abigail too, she’s really talented.
I haven’t read the book, but I have heard of it. sounds like a good story ..:)
I love love love love this book. Read it in two days and couldn’t put it down! Had me in tears! But I was kind of glad the Fanning girls were out because I can’t picture them in this role especially since imo Elle is far to young to play Anna. But I’m also having trouble with Cameron Diaz as the mother. Other then that I think Abby and Sofia will do an excellent job in the roles. I hear Alec Baldwin is playing the lawyer which is cool since in the book he’s kind of quick and witty!
And I can’t believe people would actually bad mouth children by calling them ******* (whether it be the Fanning’s or Breslin) Get over yourself! These are kids for goodness sakes. Some people are just jealous that these children have more money then they could of dream of having!
I LOVED the book… but i am really upset about the casting… i think they should have picked someone that looked like they were 13… however, abigail is MUCH better than those fanning kids… making dakota fanning out to be a 16 year old? what were they thinking… i will still see the movie, but i have a feeling it’s going to be a let down
The people who love the book should know that the ending is changed for the movie.
I LOVED this book. I read it in one night, one sitting. I even cried. I’m sad the Fanning girls are not going to do the movie because I simply love Dakota but I also love Abigail and She’s gonna be amazing!
can i just say … Dakota is probably one of the most dedicated actresses out there, she couldnt just shave her head, i mean she has other movie roles she is working on and things coming up, so she wouldnt be able to just do it, she has to think of the upcoming projects…
a good make-up artist + fanning, could have = a good bald cap application … Dakota’s hair could have been hidden underneath (im studying special effects make-up and my hair was hidden underneath one just fine) dunno why they didnt do that
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew
i am SO looking forward to this movie!!! i LUVVVVVV the book….very sad…but i think abigail breslin is perfect!! she’s so cute….and i think its mean of u to say that about her…….this movie better be GREAT or else im gonna bawl my eyes out:)
I think Sofia looks hotter then she ever did on medium. I always wanted her to cut her hair and now she shaved it for a movie. Medium was to little for her talent, i hope this movie propels her career. the fact that Sofia was willing to sacrifice all her super long thick blond hair for a movie and the fact that Dakota whose hair is not that long or thick shows that Sofia will go places that Dakota won’t. Natalie Portman got a buzz cut for V and when she was in the professional they had her cut her hair for that role. Abigal is not a spoiled brat as someone said, if any thing Dakota is since she pulled out for having to shave her head. I doubt she had other roles lined up, plus she could have worn a wig. Abigal may not have been Oscar worthy but some one thought she was. I hope Sofia get a nomination for this movie, she shaved her eye brows and head for this role, hats off to you, you are more beautiful now then before.
I very-very love Abigail Breslin she’s sooooooo C..U…T..E..
She beautiful,and yeah I see…her face like Heather O’Rourke(Carrol Anne,Poltergeist I,II,III)
i’m so excited for this movie! i loved the book and i love abigail breslin!
i lovvve dakota n abigail…
