The two most recent film Beowulves were pretty disappointing. It would be great if you could incite a good one.

Intriguing, Tim. If Irons doesn't work out, rethink Branagh, who is ruggedly middle-aged now. I wonder if you have seen him in the "Wallender" episodes on PBS.

Gregory Dowling 01-23-2013 05:44 PM
Yes, Irons would be great. He's certainly come on since Brideshead days. (Mind you, he was too old even then for the undergraduate scenes, although Anthony Andrews was fine.) Let's hope this works out, Tim!

No no no no no to Branagh!! Ugh.

To Nemo: I LOVE Kenneth Branagh--so there!

To Tim: OMG--this is brilliant, Tim. I think Jeremy Irons is pretty fantastic too.

Huge congrats on the e-mail! And all my fingers and toes are crossed for you. Hope it all works out.

Coincidentally, Tim, my uncle may be after Jeremy to play old King Caspian in the next Narnia film, The Silver Chair.

Seems like he is ripe for playing old kings!

Let me know how you go - we could co-ordinate film sets!!

I think the reigning kings of English Drama, Sirs Hopkins, Jacobi, and McKellan, are too old to slay a dragon. I think Branagh is too young, but I think Mr. Irons is just right.

Watching my inbox. Brothers and sisters, aim high!
Nice to see Jacobi mentioned. He's an astoundingly good actor that, for some reason, you don't hear much raving about ( or at least I haven't). Anthony Andrews is sublime also. Highly recommend him in "The Scarlet Pimpernel" to any & all who haven't seen it.

(or is that whom? doesn't sound right...)

I'm with Nemo on Branagh, although his Hamlet is hilarious.

R. Nemo Hill 01-24-2013 07:54 PM
You want hilarious, try his Frankenstein.

Irons would be worthy of your words, Tim. Best of luck!
