- This could potentially be a BIG scoop, as FilmJerk has reported that the casting call has gone out for the daughter in “Jersey Girl”…Sure, that’s not big news in itself, however, it seems that we now know that the character will be six years old, named “Gertie” (E.T. reference perhaps?), and that Affleck’s character will be named “Ollie” (Green Arrow reference, perhaps?):
The call went out today to cast the little girl who will be playing Ben Affleck’s daughter in Kevin Smith’s first post-View Askewniverse film. Now, we’ve been hearing for a year now that the film is based on his own experiences as the father of the currently two year old Harley Quinn.
So imagine our shock when we saw Gertie was supposed to be six. And that’s not the only shock we saw when we read the notice…
Gertie (6 years old – can be older to play younger). The precocious and entirely lovable daughter of Ollie (Ben Affleck). Like her mother, she is down to earth, clever, and a huge fan of the musical Sweeney Todd. While Gertie is able to manipulate Ollie with the finesse of an adult, she is ultimately Daddy’s little girl. Please submit Latina and Caucasian actresses.
Shooting is scheduled to begin in July or August.
We have not confirmed this story at ALL, so take this whole report with a grain of salt, it may be a false rumor. We’ll report more as we learn more.
