Some days ago, we informed that Charles Sturridge was the new director for Brontë, the biopic project written by Angela Workman and produced by AMC Pictures.Brontë principal photography to commence on 28th August 2007Next a tag line:
Four Children, Three Geniuses, One FamilyAnd finally, some new names... and some previous ones that seem to have disappeared. Almost a year ago it was announced that Nathalie Press and Emily Barclay were the chosen actresses to play Emily and Anne Brontë, respectively. Well, now they seem to have been replaced by Bryce Dallas Howard (The Village, Manderlay, The Lady in the Water, Spiderman 3) and Evan Rachel Wood

Oh no, not Nathalie Press! Why leave her out? One of the most promising UK actresses around. Emily Blunt seems to have all the luck (and a decent agent) since their My Summer Of Love days.
ReplyDeleteVery disappointed indeed!
The project is being delyaed time and time again, and actors' scheduales are always so tight that I guess some just can't fit it into theirs any more. It truly is a shame.
ReplyDeleteDo you mean Emily Barclay by Emily Blunt?
I do wonder, though, how the final version will compare to the initial one - not any of the drafts, but the one we reported as 'final' and ready to be shot months ago.
Good point Bronteblog.
ReplyDeleteI mean Emily Blunt, her co-star in My Summer Of Love:

Oh, I see, thanks for making it clear. Excuse the confusion - I haven't seen My summer of Love.
