A change will happen, though. They’re turning Kat and her gang into people in their early 20′s instead of teenagers. Does this mean it will be a more mature-themed movie?

Check out the Hollywood Reporter article here and my review of Heist Society here.

Edit: If you look at the acting pool for the early 20′s versus the teen range, Kat behaves more like the 20-something roles than the teen actors. Also, there are bigger names at the 20-something age range right now. Finding one teen actor to pull off the role of Kat wouldn’t be too tough, but to find people for her whole crew would be a challenge. (Think about the cast of Glee and their real ages.) Let’s just say a reliable source clued me in.

The Diary of a Wimpy Kid MOVIE!
I don’t care what you say about the book; I think the whole series is hilarious. One afternoon I couldn’t figure out what to watch on DVD or Hulu. I had just picked up Dog Days and read that instead. I laughed the entire afternoon it took to read the book from cover to cover.

Here’s the official website and here’s the trailer:

Diary Of A Wimpy Kid
April 2, why aren’t you here yet? It’s tough to cast a movie based on black and white line art, but I think they’ve done a good job with the essence of the characters (at least from what I can tell of the trailer).

You can find more info at the IMDb and the Scholastic page. It’s interesting seeing the illustrations of the characters.
