The cast of the first three seasons is very strong, especially Devon Bostick (100 people) as Roderick, then why Diary of a shy boy: The long road Reshaping the Heffley family? Diary of a shy boy Based on the series of books by Jeff Kinney, is a diary written by protagonist Greg Heffley. The books aren’t afraid to present Greg as nasty, lazy, and selfish, and the series portrays the tension between Greg, his family, and his best friend.
Firstly Diary of a shy boy Released in 2010, the cast includes Zachary Gordon as Greg, Steve Zahn (Rise of the Planet of the Apes) as his father, Frank, and Devin Bostick as his evil brother, Roderick. The film was so successful that it soon had two sequels. Diary of a Shy Boy: Roderick’s Rule 2011 and Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days 2012. at that time Summer’s Dog Day By then, it was clear that the young cast had aged away from their roles, and it seemed likely that the third installment would mark the end of the series.
It was later confirmed that a 2016 movie titled Diary of a shy boy: The long road, which will largely be based on the ninth book. The film will also serve as a light-hearted reboot by bringing in the new cast of the Heffley family. The news upset some fans who had expressed interest in the cast of the first three seasons, but it was also inevitable. The original cast had grown far beyond their roles, so new actors were needed. That said, Devon Bostick’s Roderick has also become a fan favorite, so new cast members – including Batman and Robin Alicia Silverstone plays Susan, the Heffley patriarch who has had a hard time overcoming fan skepticism.
Unfortunately, Diary of a shy boy: The long road Relying on lazy gimmicks that rarely land, turned out to be a huge disappointment. The new cast doesn’t improve on bad material either, and the response to Charlie Wright’s new Roderick (Ingrid to the West) are clearly mixed. The fourth film also didn’t do well compared to the original, and while there are plenty of other books in the series to adapt, a sequel probably won’t happen.
Maybe the fifth film will serve as another lighthearted reboot and introduce a different new cast, but with the reaction Diary of a shy boy: The long road, the franchise may take a break for a while. While Roderick and Heffley’s new actors have always faced an uphill struggle to gain acceptance from the fan base, the film’s problems are largely due to its weak script.
