I have just recently started reading the book on which the movie is being based - fascinationg story - very hopeful and inspring, yet still quite bitter sweet.

Just wondering if anyone has hear anymore casting news - For instance I wonder if they will be casting for Crowley's Daughter Megan - a real little fighter indeed - with spunk to spare - bless her little soul : )

The only casting for kids that I have heard about so far is for two boys ages 6 and 9 - The real John Crowley also has 2 sons - the younger one ( like his sister ) suffers from Pompe Disease.

Hope to hear more news on this one soon :)

Haven't heard anything about the casting of Aileen Crowley either??

So many questions hey - so many questions : D

Hey we already have a thread about who was cast as Aileen Crowley ( Keri Russel - yaye yaye yaye - I think she ROCKS as an actress ) - I just wanted to bump this thread up to get some fire and excitment going for the movie : )

I honeslty think that Brendan and Keri will be awesome together in this movie - Not to mention the legendary Mr. Harrison Ford - I'm really excited for this one.

Brendan Fraser, Keri Russell and Harrison Ford! How awesome is that? They have actually finished casting. They are about to announce who they picked to play Brendan's and Keri's sons here very shortly. They start filming here in Portland in April.

Are they going to have the Crowley's daughter in the movie as well - in real life the Crowley's have three children - 2 boys and a girl - the younger two - Megan and Patrick are the ones that were stricken with Pompes disease.

Perhaps they are casting for Megan elsewhere?

Yes they had already cast the daughter before they had the open call for the sons. So no worries.

Don't know where specifically they're shooting though, sorry...
