***Looks like all systems are go for All American Girl, the movie! Filming is expected to begin this Fall. I can’t wait to see how Raven Symone portrays Samantha Madison. I think Raven is a great actress and is going to make a hilarious Sam.***

So it probably won't be released until 2005, if it starts filming this fall

I'm guessing Raven is just gonna finish That's So Raven before any movies are done.

out of all the movies and tv rae will be in, this movie will be done last, but as they say, save the best for last!!!

i predict this movie will be better than the first one, and for one reason, RAVEN!!!

This is how Meg Cabot handled an agressive reader and fan. LOL.

***I hear Raven Symone is going to play Samantha Madison in the All American Girl movie. I think this is a horrible idea. For one thing, Sam is white, and Raven is black. For another thing, Raven is not goth. She is a girlie girl. Why can’t you get Lindsay Lohan to play Sam?***

Okay. First of all, when authors sell the screen rights to their books—which they do because let’s face it, movies sell books. And authors can’t make a living if they don’t sell books—they have no control over who gets cast to play their characters. None.

Secondly, I'm VERY pleased that, in a world where there aren't enough positive role models for African American women, one of my books is going to be used as a vehicle to provide millions of girls with a great one.

Thirdly, let’s remember that Raven plays a character called Raven on her TV show. In All American Girl, she'll play Sam. So she'll be acting. I'm betting she'll be great as Sam.

And fourthly—who cares? Why does a movie have to be exactly like the book anyway? I understand that people love books and don’t want to see them changed, but it’s hard to take two hundred pages of text and stuff them into a ninety minute film. Some things HAVE to change, in order to tell the story faster—or more visually. If you don’t approve, there’s a simple solution…don’t go see the movie!

Although I have a sneaking suspicion that you will anyway…and that you’ll LOVE it.
