30 secs trailer

A Short Synopsis
Anna is not sick, but she might as well be. By age thirteen, she has undergone countless surgeries, transfusions, and shots so that her older sister, Kate, can somehow fight the leukemia that has plagued her since childhood. The product of preimplantation genetic diagnosis, Anna was conceived as a bone marrow match for Kate - a life and a role that she has never questioned… until now. Like most teenagers, Anna is beginning to question who she truly is. But unlike most teenagers, she has always been defined in terms of her sister - and so Anna makes a decision that for most would be unthinkable… a decision that will tear her family apart and have perhaps fatal consequences for the sister she loves. My Sister's Keeper examines what it means to be a good parent, a good sister, a good person. Is it morally correct to do whatever it takes to save a child's life… even if that means infringing upon the rights of another? Is it worth trying to discover who you really are, if that quest makes you like yourself less?

Why Cameron Diaz didn't shave her head for 'My Sister's Keeper'

Cameron Diaz plays the tough-as-nails mother of a sick daughter in “My Sister’s Keeper." She gives birth to a second child to provide organ transplants for her ailing eldest. Things get complicated when the second daughter, played by Abigail Breslin, decides to sue her parents, played by Diaz and Jason Patric.

In the admittedly creepy-weepy-sounding but reportedly uplifting film, Diaz's character is seen shaving her head. And as we reported last year, she kinda looks a friendlier Dr. Evil.

But she tells the Dish Rag that she didn't really make the cut. Why? Because she needed to be bald for only one day of shooting. She also didn't wear makeup. "No makeup. It was so fantastic. It was great. It took so much time off of when you have to get up and be ready. No makeup. It was great.

But her 15-year-old costar Sofia Vassilieva totally went for it.

“I have so much respect for this child because she shaved her head when she was 15 years old. She had hair down to here. She shaved her head, she shaved her eyebrows, and she owned it. I mean, she was scared at first. I won’t say that she … she pushed through that fear, and I was just so inspired by her. She was an inspiration to us all. At the end of the day, she’d have the makeup artist paint all these things around her head and paint around her eyes and wear these big these earrings and like big scarves. She just really owned it and sort of made it something special for herself."



To research her role, Cameron talked at The City of Hope with mothers with seriously ill children.

“Although their circumstances might be different, whether it was economics or the dynamics of their families, maybe not married or separated from their husbands or divorced or whatever, the one thing that was the same for all of them was that when you have a sick child, all you do is try to save that child. There’s nothing else. You don’t go, 'Oh, no, it’s OK, don’t worry about it. It will be fine.' Or you don’t say, 'Oh, there’s nothing else we can do? OK, cool.' It’s like there’s a vigilance that these mothers have to take part in and be there 24 hours a day, and they know what treatments their child should be having.”

Because of her unrelenting responsibilities, Sara is often not a particularly sympathetic character.

“She’s a mother who’s trying to save a child and what is she supposed to do?" says Diaz. "You know what I mean? She’s been doing it for a decade now. She’s been trying to keep her child alive. It’s really, really exhausting. It’s no time for her to be apathetic. There’s never a moment that she can just sort of lay down and go, 'No, I don’t give a. ...' There’s just not. Even when she’s in remission, there’s not because you’re always waiting for that moment that happens in the movie where she’s up all night with 103 temperature and she has nose bleeds. I mean, that could happen at any moment."

Yep, Jesse is in the movie, he's played by that guy who plays Kyle in CSI Miami, if you watch that :)

The only person isnt there from the book is Julia, and also they have got Aunt Kelly for the kids

Pretty sure the ending is different, but i am not too bothered about that much as i understand why they might have changed it (even though the book ending was brilliantly hearbreaking), as along as this movie is brilliant as i hoping it to be :)

Jodi Picoult has mentioned on her site, why they might have changed the ending due to being made into a movie and what she thought of the movie when she saw it :)

Moviemaker Nick Cassavetes has heaped praise on Cameron Diaz for her portrayal as a young mum with a sick daughter - because the actress brought back memories of his own health crisis as a young father.

Cassavetes knew casting Diaz as a mum in hard-hitting drama My Sister's Keeper would be criticised, but he urges those who feel she isn't up for such a tough role to check out the upcoming movie - and weep.

He tells WENN, "Yes, she's never played a mother and she's playing a mother of three in this movie but that didn't scare me. I knew she was up for it. I'm more proud of her performance in the film than I am proud of things in my life."

Recalling his own daughter's battle with heart problems, the director adds, "When I was a young man my second daughter was diagnosed with congenital heart disease when she was a week old. When I was young the world was wide open before me and I was a happy guy. I didn't know anything about life and this illness from my daughter, Sasha, was temperance on my soul.

"It was a learning experience. It was something I had to go through and she had to go through and we had to go through together, with her mother and the entire family. Cameron felt like who I was at that time."

Could this role land Diaz an Oscar nomination perhaps? :hmm:

I know quite alot of ppl are saying this, i dont entirely believe that the ending made the book, it certainly made it so much more heart-breaking, i think the whole book was a learning curve for all the characters and the ppl who read it, understanding each situation, their emotions, their human strength etc

This what Jodi says on her site about the movie -
I had the chance to see the movie when I was on tour in LA. Yes - it ends differently from the book. And yes, you’re still going to like it The acting is phenomenal; the movie is beautifully shot; and I highly recommend investing in Kleenex before you go.

Here is the song

VEGA 4 - Life Is Beautiful lyrics

Life is beautiful
We live until we die

When you run into my arms
We steal a perfect moment
Let the monsters see you smile
Let them see you smiling

Do I hold you too tightly?
When will the hurt kick in?

Life is beautiful
But it's complicated
We barely make it
We don't need
To understand
There are miracles
Miracles

Yeah, life is beautiful
Our hearts
They beat and break

When you run away from harm
Will you run back into my arms?
Like you did when you were young
Will you come back to me?

And I will hold you tightly
When the hurting kicks in

Life is beautiful
But it's complicated
We barely make it
We don't need
To understand
There are miracles
Miracles

Stand
Where you are
We let all these moments
Pass us by

It's amazing where I'm standing
There's a lot that we can give
This is ours just for the moment
There's a lot that we can can give

It's amazing where I'm standing
There's a lot that we can give
This is ours just for the moment
There's a lot that we can give

"My Sister's Keeper" -- Bring lots and lots of tissues!
Saturday, June 6, 2009, 03:12 PM
Posted by Manny

http://www.mannythemovieguy.com/images/my_sisters_keeper_movie_review.jpg

I walked into the screening of "My Sister's Keeper" not knowing what to fully expect. All I knew was that the film was based on Jodi Picoult's bestselling book about an 11-year old kid who's suing her parents for medical emancipation. She doesn't want her body to be the lifeline of her dying sister anymore.

And guess what? The movie won me over! I love how Nick Cassavetes and his "The Notebook" screenwriting partner, Jeremy Leven, turn this film into a character-driven study on death and dying and its effects on a tight family unit. If the filmmakers decide to make this a narrative-driven movie, it would have been a melodramatic Lifetime channel fare.

I cried. A lot. And didn't feel guilty about it!

Cameron Diaz shines as the seemingly single-minded mother who has one purpose in life -- to save the dying Kate (the fantastic Sofia Vassilieva).

But the heart of the film belongs to the Oscar-nominated Abigail Breslin (Anna). This girl is amazing! She can go from sweet and precarious, to sorrow and grief in one second!

"My Sister's Keeper" comes out on June 26th, trust me, you'll love this film.

And coming out on Manny The Movie Guy (http://www.mannythemovieguy.com), my cast interviews with Diaz, Vassilieva, and Breslin. And of course, my full movie review, just how many movie kisses should I give this film? Stay tuned...

Cameron Diaz Talks About Playing A Mom In 'My Sister's Keeper'
June 17th, 2009 10:12am EDT Post a comment Read 2 comments Add to My News

http://images.starpulse.com/Photos/Previews/My-Sisters-Keeper-11.jpg


Cameron Diaz has entered dangerous territory for Holllywood. In My Sister's Keeper, she plays the mother of a teenage daughter. Many actresses say, once they see you as a mom, you can never go back.

"I didn't really think about it," Diaz said. "I really don't think about this stuff too hard. I just find my way through it. I didn't really even think about the fact that I would be playing a mother. I didn't think about it in terms of what it meant to my career. I thought of what it meant to the story, and who this woman was and what her life experience was and what was happening in front of her. I didn't think, 'Oh, my God, if I play a mother, and a mother of teenagers, how is this going to affect my career?' It didn't even phase me."

Keeper portrays a family dealing with Leukemia. As close as she is with her family, Diaz hopes the film will make those more fortunate appreciate the gifts they have in their lives.

"Family is so important. What drew all of us to this story was the family, and the stories of each of these characters. I think we all related to the fact that there isn't anything that you wouldn't give someone that you love that deeply. You do whatever it takes to keep that person alive. I think that that's something that spoke to most of us, for this film, and what I think is so effective, in the film. I think the most important thing that I've found in my life is just my family and friends. Your wealth in life are the people that you get to love and who love you back, and all the experiences that you get to have with those people, throughout your life. Some come and some go. Some stay for a really long time, some leave quickly, some linger, and all of those experiences are the wealth of your soul. Those are the things that I'm most grateful for."

Nick Cassavetes and Cameron Diaz on 'My Sister's Keeper'

http://www.latimes.com/media/photo/2009-06/47478657.jpg

In 'My Sister's Keeper,' starring Cameron Diaz, Nick Cassavetes sees parallels with his own family's experience.
By Rachel Abramowitz
June 21, 2009
Real men do shed tears.

That's the conclusion one gets from sitting down with Nick Cassavetes, the 6-foot-6-inch, square-jawed, mustachioed, multi-tattooed film director who was so wild and belligerent as a kid that his mother -- actress Gena Rowlands -- gave him a suitcase for his 16th birthday so he could pack up and move out. Now, a couple of lifetimes later, he's made the film "My Sister's Keeper," a movie that requires even more Kleenex than his last hit tear-jerker, 2004's "The Notebook."

"As a society, we are trained not to feel things. We respect things that are scientific and cerebral and smart, and this ain't one," Cassavetes says over water and tea at the Chateau Marmont. His friend, the film's star, Cameron Diaz, sits across from him, all long legs and scarves and jeans and jewelry.

Throughout the afternoon, the 50-year-old Cassavetes can't stop showering Diaz with loud, brash adulation, while she looks at him with the fondness one reserves for a beloved papa bear. Diaz focuses on him intently with those limpid eyes, as green-blue as a bay in the Bahamas, and unconsciously twirls her uncoiffed blond hair with a finger.

The film, based on the Jodi Picoult bestseller, tells the story of a family coping with the elder daughter's debilitating cancer. As part of the mother's unbending plan to do everything possible to save the girl, a younger daughter had been deliberately procreated to provide bone marrow and other genetic material for the dying teen. As the story progresses, the younger girl (played by Abigail Breslin) sues her parents to stop making her undergo the many medical procedures -- in effect, for control of her own body.

"I guarantee you that everyone who read this script saw it as a TV movie, a cushy, sappy tear-jerker," says Diaz, who plays the mother. "But when you say Nick Cassavetes is directing, it changes everything."

"She's being too kind. It's a nonsympathetic part," says Cassavetes. Viewers will certainly be surprised to see Diaz playing a former corporate killer turned rabid maternal angel who will do anything to prevent her daughter's death.

Or as Diaz explains, she'd "jump off a cliff" for her child. "Step in front of a train. You do whatever it takes for them to survive. Even if it means you don't sleep for 10 years. Or it means that you don't have one day where you can be empathetic. It's not one second that you can let up. I think that it is something that every parent can relate to -- anyone who deeply loves someone."

'This girl can do it'

Cassavetes, the son of famed independent film director John Cassavetes, has been acquainted with Diaz since both shared an agent 15 years ago, when she was just breaking into Hollywood with "The Mask" and he was a character actor playing heavies in such films as "Face/Off." He sought out Diaz for the role, even though she's best known for such broad comedies as "There's Something About Mary."

"We are all aware that Cameron doesn't have children in real life, and [everyone said], 'Won't you hire someone named Kate for this part?' but I was bored with that," says Cassavetes of the pleas for the reigning queens of dramas, Kate Winslet and Cate Blanchett. "I was like, 'This girl can do it.' I wanted to show people what I already know."

He also pushed Diaz not to play the mother as a sympathetic "victim."

"Nick was like, 'You don't cry in this movie till the end. You don't cry,' " Diaz says. When the actors did get teary, Cassavetes nearly always cut it out of the movie.

Though Diaz might be the shiniest name on the marquee, "My Sister's Keeper" is an ensemble piece in which the perspective in the drama shifts through each family member -- the ignored brother (Evan Ellingson), the stoic father (Jason Patric), the dying girl (Sofia Vassilieva) in the throes of her first romance with another cancer patient and the little sister, who convinces an ambulance-chasing lawyer, played by Alec Baldwin, to take her case. It's the constant fracturing and recombining of the family that ultimately proves so moving.

A parent's devotion

"My Sister's Keeper" is undoubtedly the most personal story for Cassavetes, who reveals somewhere in the conversation that his oldest daughter, now 23, has suffered from a congenital heart defect since birth. "It's the gift that keeps on giving," he says ironically, though he notes that the unexpected wallop of it made him grow up.

He understands the mother character's single-minded devotion to her child. Cassavetes tells a story about when his daughter was little and had to have an operation for scoliosis, a spine condition that often accompanies such heart defects. "She had gotten pneumonia and there was a chance she was going to die. They were sticking a tube down her nose and in her lungs every hour and were making her cough. It was very brutal and hard on her, and I could literally see the life sucked out of my daughter." Finally, Cassavetes threw the doctors out. "They were like, 'You are killing your daughter. She needs these things. She could be dead by morning.' I said, 'I want [you] out of the room.' "

His daughter survived the night, and Cassavetes ultimately apologized to the doctors, but, as he points out, "I know what is best for my kid, and I am going to get it. Why? Because that is my job. Why have kids? Because they are pretty to look at? No, you have got to protect them until they get big enough, and then they can protect themselves."

"It's always present with him," Diaz says. "There were moments when we were in a scene and I'd look over, and Nick's by the camera and he is crying. Tears are coming down his face. That's how generous he is." As she speaks, her eyes begin to tear up.

For Diaz, the director, with his huge bark and equally huge heart, always reminded her of her own father. Throughout filming, she'd mention frequently that Cassavetes would have to come with her to visit her folks. Three weeks before the end of shooting, however, Diaz's father died of a heart attack. It was devastating for her.

After a few days off, she returned to work. "I was kind of in shock," she says.

"She was totally stunned. She had the look. Couldn't feel anything," Cassavetes says.

"It was really fortunate to be able to go back someplace really safe," Diaz says. "Nick's experience with his father's death was something that he shared a lot with me about, even before my dad died."

John Cassavetes -- the irascible director who pioneered a kind of documentary-style realism in such films as "Women Under the Influence" -- died of cirrhosis of the liver in 1989. "It was horrible," says his son, whose stoicism in the moment certainly informs "My Sister's Keeper," a film that doesn't ennoble suffering.

"We put him in the ground on a Friday, and on Monday I had an audition. I was auditioning as an actor back then, and I remember looking in the window thinking, 'Dude, go home.' I knew, No. 1, I wasn't getting the job and, No. 2, what are you doing? Then I thought, 'What am I supposed to do?' You don't know. Life goes on. That's the beauty of it and absolute tragedy of it."

Someone did tell me that the film and book have different endings.....

I should really see the flm before I read the book as I know if I read the book first I will just nit pick and find faults rather than enjoy the movie.

I saw it on saturday

I have to say i enjoyed it, and actually preferred this ending esp seeing how the story went in the movie, i felt it was the right ending to have

From what i read of how good Cameron was, i got what i expected from her - this is a Cameron i have never seen, acting wise

Sofia was fantastic, esp to play a role like this, and to look like that - i get why Sofia said why she felt like she did when filming this, she is someone to look out for in the future, i hope she has a bright career ahead of her

I have high hopes Abigail in this movie, seeing since i am her fan - i loved her in it, she was brilliant - the range of various emotions she had to get across - it came naturally, and like many have said i think she is best crier on-screen, you get tears in your eyes when she cries its happened a couple of times to me when watching her movies or watching a tv episode of a show she's been on

Jason Patric and Evan Ellingson were good, the subtle performances by them came through, you felt for Jesse - when you see him as a lonely drifter

Going to get the soundtrack for sure :D - the whole beach scene with the song is so well done and so emotional due to the song
