Who SHOULD have written and directed the movies?

I so agree - but then, I would since 
I mentioned Emma Thompson back in 
February (priori postis 5423).  I've 
since come up with another screenwriter 
who would also do a great job: 
William Goldman, who wrote the book 
"The Princess Bride" as well as the 
screenplay for the movie based on it.

So if we get Thompson to adapt, Lee to 
direct, and Thompson to play a role, 
we could have Sense and Sensibility 
Redux...of sorts.  <g>  After all, 
Alan Rickman (Colonel Brandon/Snape), 
Gemma Jones (Mrs. Dashwood/Madam 
Pomfrey), and Elizabeth Spriggs 
(Mrs. Jennings/Fat Lady) all already 
have both HP and S&S in common.

BTW, I wonder what thoughts went through 
Ms. Thompson's mind when (if?) she 
watched that dueling scene between 
Branagh and Rickman...uhm...I meant 
Lockhart and Snape.  <g>
