CastingJodi Foster as Grace. She would do a great job since she is an Academy Award winner for Actress in a Leading Role. She’s in her fifties as well.

Emma Watson as Elma. She is young and a great actress. I find her personality similar to Elma’s in the story.

Tommy Lee Jones as Will the Sheriff. He’s got many years of experience and he has acted as sheriff in other movies.

Scarlett Johansson as Cherie. She is attractive and classy.

Jack Nicholson as Dr. Gerald Lyman. In my opinion, he fits perfectly the character. He is a great actor and he can act as a lunatic.

Pierce Brosnan as Carl the bus driver. He is in his fifties and I guess he would look “natty” in his uniform just like the story describes him.

Matthew McConaughey as Bo Decker, the cowboy. He fits the character: tall and slim. Matthew has performed as a cowboy before.

Every character in the story has his or her own reason to seek eagerly for love in order to give meaning to their lives and put an end to their loneliness.

Bo is a very confident guy. He is very proud of what he does. He has won many prizes and awards. He has never experienced rejection from a girl before up until he met Cherie.

Bo learned that in order to make Cherie fall in love with him, he had to be a little humble.

Grace is growing old and she starts to feel lonely. She is looking for a person that keeps her company. She is the owner of the restaurant and has her own apartment. She is looking for love. In the story, she falls in love with Carl, the bus driver.

Elma is in a young stage of her life where all she wants to do is learn. In the story, she is very interested in Dr. Gerald Lyman ideals of how to live life with no strings attached. Elma wants to explore the world and keep on learning.

The way I envision the production of the play:

Windy and rainy day.

The restaurant is small, old, and cozy.

A warmth and welcoming sensation inside the place.
