I'm definitely not gonna watch this, so I don't really care that much about the recasting, but...I'm kind of weirdly sad that Devon bostick isn't gonna be rodrick anymore. I liked the first 2 films well enough, but I mainly watched them for him! He like, kick started my puberty, and news of this recasting gave me a weird sense of nostalgia to when I was 12-ish and would fast forward to the rodrick scenes...strange.

Also, this movie's gonna suck the big one.

It is hard to accept a recasting of a movie serie that you are a fan of. But the years go by and the kids get older. The story wouldn't be even close to right if the original cast could come back. Who knows it may turn out to be pretty good. Also know that the pictures that are on the actors profile page are different than what they may look like in the movie. I saw a complaint about that somewhere else.
