The Lovely Bones! Susie Salmon has been cast!

Very very exciting news that Saoirse Ronan has been cast in the role. You should all know her as the little girl from the "Atonement" trailer. This looks to be the year of young Saoirse (watch out Dakota) she will be seen later this year in "Death Defying Acts," alongside Catherine Zeta-Jones and Guy Pearce; "I Could Never Be Your Woman," starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Paul Rudd; and "Atonement ," with Keira Knightley and James McAvoy. This summer she begins filming Walden's "City of Ember," being directed by Gil Kenan.

Physically she is the perfect choice, exactly how I imagined her in the book. We will soon see if she has the acting chops.

I always imagined Susie as more of a Lindsay Lohan in her "Parent Trap" days, kind of girl.

Well looking at Saoirse IMDB page, someone has a hell of a lot of faith in her as an actress.
Great casting, and sorry but eww to Lindsay Lohan.

My only concern is Ryan Gosling as the father. Strange choice.
