I cannot wait for that on Comic Relief, it is going to be hilarious. I loved that scene in Gavin and Stacey, and the one when they were in the arcade singing the Robbie Williams and Nicole Kidman song. It's for such a good cause as well :-)

Just thought I'd post a quick message on here, about Natalie Dormer (Anne Boleyn in The Tudors) I know she gets slagged off quite a lot on IMDB etc and to be honest I wasn't all that keen on her when I started watching series 1 of The Tudors, but as it went on, I began to admire her as an actress. So...me collecting signed photographs decided to write to her, and yesterday I received a personalised signed photograph of her in the post, which I thought was very sweet. I must admit, about 70% of 'celebrities' I write to tend to reply. Like today, I received a personalised signed photo of Bonnie Langford and a lovely letter with it. My collection is up to 20 now. Sorry, I kind of went off topic there. Back to the point, I am now officially a fan of Natalie Dormer. :-)

I was searching through heaps of my old magazines for Hans related themes, when I found a 4 page article in ELLE about Charlotte Coleman , in which I read the following interesting bit: "She even spent two weeks in rehab at the Promis Centre in Kent, but left abruptly..."
Could this be one of the reasons which prompted Hans to take on the role of Jake?
I'm wondering if he knew about that or if it's just a coincidence.

Aubrey, can you confirm the whispers I've been hearing about a new BBC adaptation of Emma? If it's true, I'd like to start the petition to get Richard Armitage cast as Mr. Knightley right away! Gg, I hope you don't mind me replying to this. There is going to be a new adaptation of Emma by the BBC later this year. I would have loved to have seen Richard Armitage cast as Mr Knightley aswell. Alas, that role has now been given to Jonny Lee Miller! |

Hey cat! Thanks for the follow up! I actually just pasted that article in the post from ET here in the IS, so that the question was posed by the writer of the article, but thanks. I'm actually happy for JLeeMiller - a former co-star pa Kelly MacDonald,s

Hi, when I read about this new emma the bbc are making I was a little disapointed that they can't think of anything else to do I adore costume drama's but emma's been done over and over again here there are so many brilliant classic novels to choose from and although don't get me wrong I like jane austin I think it's getting a little tired, they are going to spend millions of tax payers money to redo something that's been done, so many times before, please please please do a different novel, and put hns in it of course  |

emma's been done over and over again here True, but this is a sentence that could really be applied to just about any and all costume dramas. Take Pride and Prejudice for example. Now there is a Jane Austen novel that has been adapted for both tv and film repeatedly. I like jane austin I think it's getting a little tired LOL...This is going to be the last Jane Austen costume drama that the BBC plan to do. At least for the next few years. |

When I read about the new Emma my first reaction, too, was not again! But apparently it will go over 4 hours, so this time they have more time to develop the storyline. And they better make it good, for this will be indeed, cat, the last period drama for a long, long time, if you believe this article. I would have loved some other Gaskell adaptation. What about Mary Barton, or Ruth, which I liked very much when I read it years ago. But we're in the wrong thread. No co-star of Hans in sight. |

brooke,
this will be my last post on this discussion, in this thread at least. But I just wanted to say thanks for the link. I hadn't seen this article. I have to agree with the BBC in that, by their own admission, that by focusing solely on bonnet dramas they are missing out on other parts of history. I like the sound of the Desperate Romantics that is mentioned in the article you posted.

I watched Atonement for the first time the other night and was blown away by how amazing it was. I think Keira Knightley has come such a long way since Zhivago and seeing her in the Duchess as well, I think just emphasises this.

Keira did acknowledge Zhivago and her nude scene. She was on The Jay Leno show promoting the first installment of Pirates of The Caribbean. Leno applauded her for being given such a prestigous role at such a young age. He asked her about the nude scene. She said she had to appear nude in only one scene, and she claimed she was 17 turning 18. She lied about her age. The American public were viewing Zhivago for the first time in 2003. Americans did not realise it was first aired in 2002; in the DVD interview with Hans, he tells us she was 16 turning 17 during the production. Late on the commentary here but I had no idea she was 16 almost 17 in Zhivago, she looks very mature for her age. Though it actually leads further into the perverse-ness of that role for her, 16 year old girl and Hans was what...late 20s? Heh...it's funny how those things work....the first time I ever actually saw Keira Knightly in anything was in Pirates and then explored from there...I'm a huge Adrien Brody fan and when she turned up in the Jacket playing the rough character she did my partner and I were just in awe, it was a very weird character. Somewhere in the interviews for that I think he made a comment about it being weird having an intimate scene with someone who was so much younger than he was... You're right about the age thing though, if the American media knew about the actual age, they'd flip. I can see the headlines now: Teen Keira Knightly does porn with Brit Thespian *snickers* |

I'm glad you liked Atonement, laura!
I had read the book years ago and went to the cinema the second day after the film's release, so eager was I to see how the adaptation worked out. Not to mention that I rarely miss an opportunity to see James McAvoy.
And I was not disappointed.
Although the experience was quite an embarrassing one. During the second half of the film I simply couldn't stop the tears running down my face. Such a sad but nevertheless beautiful film.

Aww I can well imagine the tears brooke, I was the same, I just couldn't get over how sad it was. I've bought the book, so I'm looking forward to reading it.

Movie Doctor Zhivago is filmed from February to May in 2002. Keira was really at the beginning only 16 years old, Hans was 26 years old, it's 10 years age difference. This is quite enough. They were so young. My mom always cried at the end of the film. It is a very sad story with the wrong end. The book is better than film?  |
