Yes, Gemma Arterton and Hans Matheson ESPECIALLY would be lovely, but yes, Michael Fassbender is perfect all the same. His recent performance in Jane Eyre was brilliant i thought! He really brought that eerie gothic feeling the novel posesses to life. Certainly he will do the same with Wuthering Heights, being eerier yet.<br /><br />I hope they find a director!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16586584.post-63414041184979119642010-01-13T15:47:01.079+01:002010-01-13T15:47:01.079+01:00Michael Fassbender is a perfect choice, but Hans M...Michael Fassbender is a perfect choice, but Hans Matheson gets my vote too. I'm not sure if Abbie Cornish has the right look or Cathy's feistiness, but we will see. I think Gemma Arterton would be perfect. I certainly hope they keep in with the dark edginess of the recent BRILLIANT ITV version, with Heathcliff and Cathy's authentic Yorkshire accents. We don't want to make it 'posh', that's not what the novel was about.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16586584.post-83867088499748369482008-08-05T15:12:00.000+02:002008-08-05T15:12:00.000+02:00I don't think Tim Burton would be good for Wutheri...I don't think Tim Burton would be good for Wuthering Heights. I don't know, i think all his films look comical gothic rather than atmospheric gothic, that i'd like Wuthering Heights. Although, i can't say it wouldn't intrigue me. <BR/><BR/>Lol. God yes!! I remember the Johnny and Angelina rumours. You know i think i think they were the two " a list stars" that were attached to the M Night Shyamalan (that's spelt wrong) project for 20th Century Fox. Speaking of i wonder what will happen with that scripe Michael Hirst was doinf for them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16586584.post-85738539679658487632008-08-05T14:08:00.000+02:002008-08-05T14:08:00.000+02:00Oh, no doubt about that!

I was joking about Tim Burton a few days ago - wouldn't he film Wuthering Heights from a totally new perspective? :PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16586584.post-90393812851213049142008-08-04T21:53:00.000+02:002008-08-04T21:53:00.000+02:00Yeah.

So that helps. <BR/><BR/>I think she's probably the most talented actress that has been linked to the part thus far, so i hope she stays with it. I still prefer Hayley Atwell though. Lol<BR/><BR/>Yeah, i don't see how they are going to keep with that October start date now.<BR/><BR/>Let's just hope that both Michael and Abbie stay and everything else is sorted out and there's no more drama.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16586584.post-3993619362173991762008-08-02T23:00:00.000+02:002008-08-02T23:00:00.000+02:00Good to hear that about Abbi Cornish, Faye.

If she's a good actress as you say he perfomance will make us look past her looks.<BR/><BR/>I don't really know how this affects the time schedule of the film but it could look as if what we initially thought would be two different versions too near in time won't be so-Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16586584.post-86960978815910070192008-08-01T14:52:00.000+02:002008-08-01T14:52:00.000+02:00Okay.

However, i was watching a programme about the making of Gone with the Wind today, and they had two directors leave the project. So maybe out of the chaous a masterpiece will be created.<BR/><BR/>As for Abbie Cornish. She is quite and intelligent and deep actress. So i think she will be a good Cathy in that sense. But, yes there is an issue about physical appearance. However, what i do like about her is that she's not fragile looking, i could believe she could get over the Yorkshire moors. I just hope both stay on the project. My head is spinning with all this.<BR/><BR/>Why can't it be as organised as the ITV version?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
