The last book I read for my book club is One Day by David Nicholls. The story starts with the usual boy meets girl premise and then checks in on the lives of these two individuals once a year on the same day from 1988 to 2007. It's not just a love story though and I ended up enjoying this book a lot more than I expected, as did the girls in the book club. So when conversation came round to the movie adaptation, the girls were up in arms over the casting of the female protagonist - Emma Morley, who is English with a Northern accent will be played by ....Anne Hathaway. It was also pointed out that the young Emma is quite dorky and there are fears that elegantly beautiful Anne Hathaway will not be able to pull it off. Seems like we are not the only ones. The Guardian reported that "some One Day purists have been troubled by the thought of Anne Hathaway as Emma".
I found these images from the film shoot on YouTube, with Anne in the different life stages of Emma:
