  • Ngl, I was thinking of doing this one too after listening to the McQuarrie interview. I was trying to think of away to fit his original idea of Julia Roberts playing Marie into the story. Also, Kitteridge should be about Ethan’s age. I was looking at Nicholas Hoult for it (he’s got the adult boy thing Henry Czerny has and he was the original choice to play Gabriel in Reckoning.) Kitteridge has to be the rock in Ethan’s shoe from the start.
  • @nathanbates I presumed he was quite older than Ethan, but after having done research that both Kittridge and Henry are just a few years older than both Ethan and Tom... Yeah, I might do a reconsideration.
