Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I know the immediate response is going to be that Carla Gugino should have been cast as Laurie, not as her mother. I understand that knee-jerk, too. I don't like it when they cast these films so young, but hearing Snyder talk at Comic-Con, he was very insistent that the young casting is essential for the storytelling, not as a way to get a bunch of WB actors (sorry, CW now) actors on the poster.

Gugino is perfect as the Silk Spectre and would have made an amazing Laurie, too. But the flashbacks are so important to the story that Snyder is casting everyone so they'll be the right age in the flashbacks, or close enough to it that it won't be a radical jump to shave a few years off.

Gugino is being cast to be the right age for Sally in the flashbacks and promises to age her up for the 1985 segments. Considering her biggest work will be in those flashbacks, I think it's a great idea.

I love her involvement in this movie. What about you?
