He was just coming into manhood.<BR/><BR/>For Atonement I think he needs to be more robust than he appeared at the Toronto Film Fest. It doesn't look like he's beefed up for the part.<BR/><BR/>Robbie should be a rougher version of Julian Sands in Room With A View. He should seem like a strong country lad used to hard work, but with an intelligence that will raise him above his class. He also has to be a leader of men in the Dunkirk episodes.<BR/><BR/>It will be challenging. McAvoy has the dynamism for it. I hope it works.<BR/><BR/>How's the reading going Nathaniel? Atonement is my favorite novel of the last decade. I re-read it last year and enjoyed it even more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-1158992114393724182006-09-23T02:15:00.000-04:002006-09-23T02:15:00.000-04:00He is indeed very hot.

Aside from Swinton, he was definitely the best thing about Narnia, even though I kept wishing whenever he was onscreen that the movie around him was better.adam k.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13485604493059621307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-1158924853971850962006-09-22T07:34:00.000-04:002006-09-22T07:34:00.000-04:00kris, why u wanna hurt us? ;)kris, why u wanna hurt us? ;)NATHANIEL Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11597109147678235399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-1158911297251270632006-09-22T03:48:00.000-04:002006-09-22T03:48:00.000-04:00Went to the Last King premiere tonight at the Acad...Went to the Last King premiere tonight at the Academy.
