Not going to point out that Whitley Strieber, the dude who wrote "Communion," appears in the movie as himself?  Seemed like a weird thing to put in a Disney movie (of course, I also couldn't help but notice that Christopher Marquette from "The Girl Next Door" was in the flick too).

This movie is... i have a weird emotional reaction to this movie, because when it came out, I was writing a script and I really had it in my head that I wanted Annasophia Robb to play the lead, it was about this weird orphan girl, and when I saw the pics of this movie coming out I realized she could already have been too old.  Don't write roles for kids, there's too few talented ones out there and they age out way too fast.
