Alfonso Cuarón

[Felicia Rickmann]

I accept your point but, surely, he would want to have some kind of input, after all it's his name on the screen and he gets the rotten tomatoes if things go wrong.  He may already have some input as PoA MUST by now be well advanced in the planning stages etc.,  *Although I await correction from thos in the know on this one...*

I don't think any reputable director would work with material they did not value.  Besides, how many people - apart from my other half - still read Dickens in sufficient depth to appreciate the damage done to GE.  Cuaron must know the impact the books and first film have had and value his contribution accordingly.

Glad to herself off the subject of *who will be Lupin???* as she didn't know half the people mentioned.........

  Wouldn't the fault of the story change actually fall to the hands of the person 
  who wrote the script? Cuaron didn't write the script, he directed the script 
  that was given to him. In the case of Great Expectations, the screenplay writer 
  was Mitch Glazer.
