But Sarah Looks NOTHING like Kimberly...


Am I the only one who sees almost no resemblance? And it's not that Sarah's a bad actress, but I don't really like watching her in movies. Aquamarine was annoyng with her in it

reply

OMG!!!

First...They look very very similar Sarah just looks like a taller skinnier version...so Marne went on a diet boo hoo...thats all it look like..

Second...As for the name change...yes their name is Piper...their fathers name was William Piper...but becuase they were referred to as cromwells in the first movie so often that fact fell into the background because all of halloweentown knew them as CROMWELLS....Every movie on the planet has goofs...everyone needs to stop complaining about them fixing their mistake...it's the same character...

Third...You need to stop complaining about not having Kimberly as Marnie...She isn't working on this film for a reason...either they didn't want her because this is supposed to be later and they wanted her to look different. Or she refused to work on it maybe cause she didn't like the story or maybe cause she is working on another film...Either way...she isn't there for a reason...Sara is a talented actress so get over it...Kimberly and Disney did not have a contract for multiple halloweentown films....

Fourth....I seriously doubt that Sophie is not in this movie because they forgot about her...it's very improbable...somebody would have said something...the writers...the producers...the actors who play aggie, gwen, or dillan...there is a reason for her missing...and it probably isn't that the the actress wouldn't go for it...they would have replaced her too if that was the case...just wait for the movie and find out...or better yet go find the script cause it's somewhere online...guarenteed and find out what happens if your that desparate..

Woah, slow down! Why is everyone hating this movie already? C'mon, you know you're gonna watch it. I hate not having Sophie and changing Marnie and you have every right to complain, that's what these boards are for. Just...wait until after the (13th I think, I'm Canadian so i dunno) Then say this movie sucks blah blah blah. Even with the changes it could be good. Not as good as all the others, but still okay.

reply

Okay don't hate me but I hate Sarah Paxton(duck!) I think she is a horrible actress(duck!) and looks nothing like Kimberly(i won't duck this time) i think Kim is a great actress and a perfect Marnie Cromwell. And I don't like the name change to 'Piper'. Well you wouldn't change your original last name if your mom got married. A boy at my schools dad died and his mom got remarried, but he didn't change his last name. I'm only tuning in to see Lucas Grabeel becuz i really think he is a good actor. but I will fall asleep and I'll comment after I get up. Now I've seen the preview, HORRIBLE ACTING! I've always loved the Halloweentown movies but this one WILL be bad.

Now don't give me lip I don't wanna hear your annoying comments!!!





reply

I agree about the whole name change thing... Cromwell sounds more witch-like and I never even heard the name Piper in the first movie!!

fallen_enigma - I agree. She looks more like Alexis Bledel.

tates006 - I SO AGREE with your statement: "then why didn't they just WAIT. They've made three movies with her, and just because she has other project they drop her?
DUMBEST CHOICE EVER"

They should have waited to do the movie!!! YOU SHOULD NEVER change the main actress in a movie if they have been in at least more than 3 movies!!

I AGREE! Sarah looks NOTHING like her... and even if she did... What are they trying to replace KIM because no one can!!!!!!!!!

I'm not complaining, that's my opinion...

Btw, Kimberly does not suck and she is NOT a bad actress!

to be honest i thought that Sara was Kimberly once in the previews but only once in this once scene were she is lifting up the neckless... ugh why didn't Kimberly do it!

reply

shiningstarz0915 - Kimberly didn't do it because she had conflicting schedules with another movie she was doing, "Big Bad Wolf".

I don't think it had anything to do with the fact she was filming another movie, otherwise they would have waited. The 4th movie is going to be aired a year earlier than previous Halloweentown movies. They usually come out every 3 years so there is no reason why they couldn't have waited, air it next year or film it earlier. I guarentee that Kimberly didn't want to do it. She probably figured that three was enough. Maybe she read the script and didn't think it was worth it. After the suckiness of three. You don't want to be stuck as the Halloweentown girl on Disney you know. It goes for any actor who does trilogy's. They want to do other things. That is probably the reason why. Don't you think 3 was enough? They should have just came up with a whole new cast and storyline. It would have been more suitable.

reply

Wow! Really good pint! Yeah... Even though I'm excited about HT4, 3 was enough, because part 3's peace between worlds was the perfect ending!

If they came up with a whole new cast it wouldn't be as awsome as the original cast. (i.e, the actor who plays Aggie, Dylan, and Gwen)

I don't see the big difference. I think they kinda have some resemblence.. plus I don't think Kimberly is that gorgeous anyways. Sara Paxton is pretty.. and I do see a little resemblence between them. I'm excited to see the new movie I hope its good. The last one they made sucked big time. But still I love the movies. Too bad the actress that played Agatha passed away.. but hey.. that happens all the time in movies. I don't understand why most of you are complaining about it.. it's going to be amazing.

I was so confused when i saw her on the commercials and i was like what? it made so sense to me and i am sure tons of little kids across the nation are wondering who the heck is this girl. Kimberly is kinda "larger" (no disrespect) and sara paxton is just taller and skinnier, they cant pull the wool over 7 year olds eyes. They have no idea what is going on but they know that this person isnt marnie. Disney also changed the last name to "Piper" which confused me also.

sorry, i didnt read all the post as i usually do.

I thought that it was Kimberly just 50lbs lighter. I was freaked out. I feel better now that I know that KJB hasn't fallen victim to Hollywood fads.

reply

I agree it was stupid replacing her, i mean atleast get an actress that looks like her, but who cares whos playing her, as long as she plays the part right!

reply

[deleted]

I'm quite angered by this. They look nothing alike and I hate it when they do that in trilogies. Her little sister Sohpie isn't even in it! -.-...Ew another thing....the voices...and another...Sarah Paxton is too quirky.

reply

I don't really want Sara in this movie either but I don't think that whats making this movie bad. I think its to "Oh NO I GOT TO SAVE HOLLOWEEN TOWN"instead of "Okay got to save this place agian." I think this movie is to playful and preppy instead of serios like the others..... I think she looks really pretty with brown hair but not when she puts it behind her ear

dance like no one is watching
sing like no one can hear u

wut a whole bunch of bs. first of all, sara paxton is only a good actress in the eyes of like, a 10 year old, which i wouldnt b surprised if u were, and second of all, the problem isnt necessarily that kimbery was replaced by sara, but the fact that the main character of the three previous movies was replaced by a whole different person who really doesnt fit. i think its very lame. disney really shouldnt have made a fourth movie, because not only is the idea of halloween town overused and dead, but if you cant even get the main character back and instead of trying to write her out (like saying she was off at college and just couldnt get back home for halloween) you put a new person in, thats just very stupid on their part. but, like disney channel has really been going down the tubes and is aiming all their shows and movies for ppl under the age of 10. well at least ppl with the maturity level of a 10 year old. peace

The night it premieres it will either get
A) hardly any ratings because Sara replaced her
or
B) ALOT of ratings to see if Sara measures up at all

reply

If Sara had started as Marnie and then they threw in Kimberly as her, people would probably be just as upset. That's kind of the whole deal. They've replaced the Marnie we know and love, which happened to be Kimberly.

reply

Will yall stop being such babies! God! just because she's not in this movie doesn't mean it's going to be bad. Actually I think this movie might even beat all of the others. Also I think she does look alot like Marnie but just skinnier. For awhile I thought there wasn't even a change. Anyways I don't think this should keep yall from watching this great movie. Maybe next year Marnie will come back to Halloweentown 5 if they make one. They won't make one if people don't watch this new one because they need viewers. I can't wait to see this movie.
