MOVIE NEWS: More Shopaholic casting news

Hughdancy Krysten_ritter You probably all know by now that Isla Fisher is playing Becky Bloomwood in the Shopaholic movie (now in pre-production), but I've just checked on IMDb and found out who's on board for Luke and Suze. And I'm not happy.

Luke will be played by Hugh Dancy (The Jane Austen Book Club). I haven't seen him in anything, but judging by the photos he's a tad less masculine than I imagined Luke to be. (But I can't see Luke as anyone other than Colin Firth, so it might just be me.)

Krysten Ritter will play Suze.  If you're a Gilmore Girls fan, then you'll know Krysten as Rory's really annoying Yale friend. I don't know who I'd cast as Suze, but I don't think it would be her.

What do you think?

    Yes well, guess what? Hugh IS Luke and Hugh is gorgeous and sophisticated and exactly the right age to play Luke, unlike Colin Firth who is reasonably attractive but heading towards 50 - come on! Hugh is also highly intelligent and well educated and articulate. For God&#39s sake, how can you not find him attractive? Oh and he&#39s a really good actor. I agree that Rebecca should be English. I don&#39t have a problem with Suze being dark haired, but she should be English too. What have they done about Tarquin, I wonder?

    i also thought suze was going to blonde, im not sure why though! and setting the movie in America is an awful idea, it would be so much better in London. Im also glad hugh dancy is not playing luke. :)

    When I first found out who were playing Becky, Luke, and Suze, I was sooooo disapointed. I didn&#39t see any of them as the characters. I imagined Luke more attractive, more manly I suppose. And I imagined Suze as blonde, with a softer face. But now i&#39m kinda warming to Isla Fisher as Becky, it&#39s not how I imagined her, but I think she&#39ll pull it off well as she&#39s a very good comedy actress. Still so disapointed about the setting, Becky Bloomwood is so British! But oh well what can you do. In Shopaholic Goes Abroad she moves to New York anyway, so I guess it won&#39t make much difference. Can&#39t wait for it to come out!

    i think they are great! I love hugh dancy and I love Krystin ritter.

    I guess as the books have gone on Hugh Dancy fits Luke to a point they just need to make sure he looks extremely put together. Suze I have pictured as blonde and perky. So saying that I am still really geeked to see the movie!
