It's ridiculous to let an almost 24 year old actor an apprentice. I am a fan of the books, but I'd rather seen somebody younger impersonating Thomas J. Ward, like for example Paul Butcher.

He was not beat out by anyone. Get your facts straight. Alex passed on this role to play a 13 year old. He was not beat out by anyone. Get your facts straight.

Regardess, any actor over the age of 15 who is cast as Thomas Ward is miscast. Neither Bridges or Moore can open a movie, the Twilightization of the story by casting good-looking adults in children's roles will alienate the fans of the books (and boys in general) and basically what we have here is next year's Season of the Witch. But at least we'll get to see Jeff Bridges struggling with an English accent. That ought to be good for a few laughs. Variety reported that Pettyfer passed on this several weeks ago.
