Re Dazzling casting....I love

[Joanne Collins]

>Is it fate that this discussion just comes up when I had a vision of
Sirius on my screen a few minutes ago??? <g>

Probably.

>Gerard Butler who plays Dracula in the recent D 2000 movie. What a
gorgeous guy and that accent!!!! 

Oh, yes! I believe he was also the actor who played Dracula on Buffy, and
yes, he would make an incredibly Sirius.

>On the "film credits" page the pic with Amanda from HL:The Raven is
especially Siriusish, IMO. And he was incredible as "Heathcliff" in BBC's
Wuthering Heights.

Oh, I like Amanda. Highlander in general. Hmmmm, there really should be a
role for Peter Wingfield somewhere, shouldn't there? Lockhart, perhaps? Or
maybe Lupin or Sirius?

>And as for Lucius Malfoy: I'd take Julian Sands anytime... (Is he english?
I think so...) 

Yes, to both. He'd be perfect!

>Oh, and I finally went a peeked at how Colin Firth looks (don't gasp - I
really never heard of that guy before) and I can see it. Since I haven't
seen him act I can't really comment but he could pull off both Sirius and
Lupin - though I see him more as a Lupin-type. Guess I have to go rent a
movie with him...

Absolutely *do not* get Shakespeare In Love to judge his good-guy
qualities. He plays a creep. He's good (though I prefer Joseph Fiennes),
but if you want to judge him for Sirius, this is *not* the movie to do it
in. But I do like the movie in and of itself. Lovely costumes, nice
romantic story and Rupert Everett who isn't in it long enough.

Joanne.
