The only thing I've seen him in is _Still Crazy_, in which he plays 
an aging David-Bowie-type rock star.  He was *great* in that, but I 
didn't get enough of his range to convince me he'd be able to portray 
Lupin's edginess.  I also don't know if makeup could make him look 
young enough to be the Lupin we see on the train, although dying his 
hair light brown might go a bit towards making me believe it.

(Hmm . . . the Still Crazy connection reminds me that the Spouse 
thinks Billy Connolly should play Mad-Eye Moody, an idea I'm slowly 
warming to, I think.  However, Connolly and Coltrane in the same 
movie might warp the fabric of space and time.)

I'm still plumping for Gary Oldman/Tim Roth as Sirius/Remus, myself, 
although I suspect there's little enough chance of it.
