Worst Casting Decision....


The actor chosen to play the role of the son. Don't get me wrong, it not like there was a lot of material to work with. But his acting skills, the over dramatic seizure scene, pointing the gun at the bad guy, etc... Just wasn't buying it. Looked like he was a bit effeminate also.

LOL... Wasn't that Kristen Stewart?

Looks like a boy. Is Kristen Stewart a boy? I really hope they wouldn't cast a girl to play the role of a boy, but its Jodi Foster so maybe she's trying to make a statement or something.

I have this movie on VHS and she did look remarkably like Jodie Foster at that time. Maybe that's why she was selected to play the part. The only other movie I saw Kristen Stewart in was 'The Runaways' and she didn't look anything like the character she played in 'Panic Room.' In that movie she did look remarkably like Joan Jett, though.

I never understood why people think Kristen Stewart look like a boy in this movie.

Same here.

I know, it's really complicated and complex, so I'll take the time to explain it so you can understand:

It was because she was a little kid at the time, with absolutely zero sex characteristics and looked very ambiguous.

She was also a nobody when it came out in 2002, it wasn't like "OMG it's Kristen Stewart playing Jodie Foster's kid, amazing, she was so great in _____________!"

Hope that helps.
