Let me guess: um, Paris Hilton as Nora? No, unlikely. Katherine Heigl? No, she's doing Stephanie Plum. Jennifer Aniston? Too old.

I'm hoping for Snooki.
Was Asta a schnauzer in the book? He was certainly a fox terrier ("Skippy" essayed the role)in the films.

It's been 40 years since I read the book. I remember the fox terrier, too.
If we're lucky, Johnny will play the title character.

Can't wait for the car chases and explosions.
