Wednesday, May 14, 2008 Finally, a favourite book is now a movie!
At long last, Evelyn Waugh's book Brideshead Revisted has been adapted for the big screen. And it's about time too. E.M. Forster and Jane Austen have all found new audiences through film but poor Evelyn has languished, forgotten.
No big names here except for Emma Thompson as Lady Marchmain. Taking a cue from the BBC TV series back in 1981, Brideshead is filmed at the famous Castle Howard in Yorkshire. Look out for the TV series, now available on Amazon, which stars a very young Jeremy Irons and Anthony Andrews. And oh! another forgotten author is also due for fame soon. I just read online that filming will soon start on Wuthering Heights. Natalie Portman who was suppose to star as Catherine as dropped out. No news yet on a replacement but Heathcliffe will be played by Michael Fassbender (Stelios in 300). This could be interesting. Now who would you like to play Catherine opposite him, eh? I just decided on my Catherine: Kate Beckinsale - dark-haired, beautiful, tomboy. Now to find my Heathcliffe. |
