Mists of Avalon and Lupin casting

[Sarah Bennet]

Hello!  I watched the rest of Mists of Avalon last night and really 
enjoyed the movie.  It followed the basic plot of the book and 
brought a sense of its style and spirit.  The acting was strong, 
especially Julianna Margulies as Morgaine.  And the scenery and 
costumes were also very evocative, and seemed to really conjure up 
that era, whether they were actually representative or not.  So I 
would recommend this movie, even if you haven't read the book.

Anyways, I'm bringing up this topic because the actor who plays 
Lancelot, Michael Vartan, is my choice for Lupin.  He also was the 
teacher Drew Barrymore falls for in Never Been Kissed.  Something 
about him seems to fit perfectly with my image of Lupin.  He may be a 
little young for the part, but I just see the sadness, gentleness and 
then steely resolve of Lupin in his eyes and face.  Can you tell I'm 
a huge Lupin fan <g>.  So I thought I'd throw him into the mix of 
potential casting.

With Lupin cast, at least in my mind, I've been trying to think of a 
good Sirius and Peter to round out the scene.  Dead sexy is a little 
hard to cast, but my best choice would be Jeremy Northam from Emma 
and the Ideal Husband.  And although he's not British, Phillip 
Seymour Hoffman (who's terrific) would make a good Peter.  That's all 
I have for now.  Thanks for reading!
