John Krasinski is set to join the Something Borrowed cast as Rachel's male best friend, Ethan. Ethan then goes on to play a bigger role in the second novel, Something Blue, which is expected to be filmed as a sequel. Krasinski is best known for his role on the American version of The Office. He was also in recent movie It's Complicated with Meryl Streep. As the entertainment media began writing about the possible two-picture deal, author Emily Giffin told her fans via Facebook: "Not official yet... but.... hope you're all happy with John Krasinski as Ethan!"

Emily Giffin has announced that Ginnifer Goodwin is to play Rachel in the movie adaptation of her debut novel Something Borrowed. "I am thrilled to announce that GINNIFER GOODWIN will be playing Rachel in SOMETHING BORROWED!!! I think she is a fabulous actress and perfect for the role (so much how I imagined Rachel when writing the book). Hope you all agree!" she wrote on her Facebook page. Goodwin (He's Just Not That Into You) will play the Manhattan attorney who becomes involved with her best friend's fiance following her 30th birthday. Casting still continues for Darcy and Dex.

Casting is underway for the film adaptation of Emily Giffin's much-loved debut novel Something Borrowed. Peter Facinelli (Dr Carlisle Cullen from the Twilight series) mentioned in a recent tweet that he was up for the role of Dex. "Just read the book Something Borrowed by @emilygiffin. LOVED it. Give it a read. They're making it into a movie. I met 4 the role of Dex :)" Giffin then replied: "big peter facinelli fan - esp after meeting him in person. think he'd be a great dex... (now get cracking on something blue, peter :)" The author has also been polling readers on Facebook about which actresses should play the lead roles. She's queried having Kate Hudson play Darcy and Ginnifer Goodwin or Isla Fisher as Rachel. IMDB reports the movie has been fast-tracked for a shoot this northern spring-summer and is due in cinemas in 2011.
