A walk to…remake? As teen tearjerker A Walk to RememberMandy Moore, who turns 20 years old, says she would like Olivia Rodrigo to play the role of Jamie Sullivan, a cancer-stricken sweetheart. This actually makes a lot of sense.
“I would love that,” Moore told People of the idea of a remake, adding that she could see “Olivia Rodrigo or something like that,” in the role and saying, “I would love to see it. It’s been long enough that, yeah, I feel like we’ve earned our place in cinematic history for a reboot at this point.” Hey, if they can make She’s All ThatI don’t see how this should be a problem.
It’s not available yet for those who haven’t seen the movie (some spoilers ahead). A Walk to RememberIt is about the unlikely high-school romance between Landon (Shane West), a popular rebel, and Jamie (Moore), a bookish minister’s daughter. The play is based on a Nicholas Sparks story. Jamie is the star of the school’s iconic scene, singing confidently to Landon and revealing her glamorous, beautiful side in one of its most important scenes.
Um…kind of sounds like a plot from High School Musical: The Musical Series, doesn’t it? Rodrigo is the perfect pick. She has the innocence and wide-eyed smile, as well as the vocal chops to make this moment a success. She may be ready to give up her teenage roles, but Rodrigo could definitely crush this project if he wants to show his dramatic acting chops. If so, Rachel Zegler needs to be brought on board. Mandy Moore might play Jamie’s mother in flashbacks. You might be able to guess. This Is UsFans are always available to cry.
