I just finished watching the new episode of Corey in the House(yeah, I know, I'm a major dork)with Raven as the guest star. Any one besides me notice that Raven was supposed to be Sam if there was a movie made and Sam saves the president in the book, and in the episode of Corey in the House Raven saves the president? I KNOW Meg didn't sell the rights and this isn't exactly plagerism, but doesn't anybody think it's just a little odd?

hey i heard that Raven was supposed to be Sam, and yes i find that kinda a coincidence, and i guess there's not going to be an All-American Girl movie with Raven as lead because of the show...but you never know

I never really noticed before. I think that it is just one of those funny things that happens.

[maestro_of_shalott]

Probably! One of those strange and amusing coincidences...

I love strange coincidences like that, they are really funny.

I don't think people will like it if Raven was Sam. Same is suppost to be a pale red head. Sorry, but that doesn't fit the description of Raven I know. Just to say. People may not buy that.

^ I actually agree with you because my image of Sam is nothing like Raven.

Raven was casted as Sam Madison in All American Girl the movie but when it came out alot alot of people did not like that A black girl was playing A white girl.

There was a film to be based on the book, starring Raven-Symoné as Samantha. However, after much controversy for casting Raven , black girl, in the part of red-haired white girl Samantha, Disney stopped production on the film. Meg Cabot has now categorically stated on her website that Disney has no plans to make a film of All-American Girl, since the film rights have now returned to her and are not under option to any other producers
