Depending on which trailer you watch, you might get the idea that Nim’s Island is a star vehicle for Jodie Foster, Gerard Butler or Abigail Breslin. And even after seeing the movie, that’s a hard question to answer, considering the actors each spend a majority of the movie separate from each other.
Nim (Breslin) is a young girl who imagines an island to be magical, basing its mystic nature on the experiences of her favorite fictional character, Alex Rover (Butler). When Nim’s father (also played by Butler) goes missing on the island, Nim teams up with Alexandra (Foster), the author of the Alex Rover books and Rover himself.
Star(s) to watch : Gerard Butler (”300′, “Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life”) as Alex Rover/Jack, & Jodie Foster (”The Brave One”, “Flightplan”, “The Silence of the Lambs”) as Alexandra Rover.
Abigail Breslin stars as Nim Rusoe, a girl with her very own tropical island which she shares with her scientist father Jack (300′s Gerard Butler). They live in a way-cool tree house and while the widower Jack makes a living writing about his scientific research, Nim romps about on the endless playground with her animal friends, which include a lizard who caws like a parrot and a pelican more helpful than Lassie if you get in a jam.
