He was a foreign correspondent who travelled the world, a film critic and a screenwriter, if I remember rightly. What a combination - it seems like his filmic view on never-ending political/personal struggles stays so real. And yes, the cast looks great.adrinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-55770238447880461482010-04-10T08:40:45.057-04:002010-04-10T08:40:45.057-04:00Andrea Riseborough was brilliant and Winslet-esque...Andrea Riseborough was <i>brilliant</i> and Winslet-esque in the off-Broadway play <i>The Pride</i>. She actually made me rave about something other than Ben Whishaw and Hugh Dancey playing gay lovers. She's in a few movies this year (this and <i>Never Let Me Go</i>, most prominently), and I can't wait to see her.Joe Reidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06825174217179302019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-73961140457383934842010-04-10T06:45:49.787-04:002010-04-10T06:45:49.787-04:00Thanks so much for mentioning this, it's one o...Thanks so much for mentioning this, it's one of the films I anticipate the most this year. Sam Riley was awesome in Control, so I'm pretty confident he's going to give a great performance. I haven't seen the old version, but I'm pretty sure that they left some key themes concerning Pinkie's personality outside the film, due to the time it was made.Dimitranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-63526670118134122492010-04-09T23:06:27.986-04:002010-04-09T23:06:27.986-04:00I thought Richard Attenbourough was the Narrator o...I thought Richard Attenbourough was the Narrator of PLANET EARTH, but that's his little brother David!Chris Na Tarajahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06545312034833563234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-34631940783733975112010-04-09T20:12:53.876-04:002010-04-09T20:12:53.876-04:00Helen Mirren is a bit older than I pictured Ida be...Helen Mirren is a bit older than I pictured Ida being, but whatever; her breasts are certainly big enough, given how many times Greene talks about them.<br /><br />On the lead/supporting issue, Ida is probably the female lead of the book.IslandLiberalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02587140315984984396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-89889491906304710172010-04-09T20:04:13.804-04:002010-04-09T20:04:13.804-04:00Carl, i'm not familiar with the novel so maybe...Carl, i'm not familiar with the novel so maybe i shouldn't have been so certain that Helen Mirren wasn't a lead here.

Of course I was more excited about it when it was a Carey Mulligan picture. But this is only because I don't know who Andrea Riseborough is just yet.<br /><br />I think the plot sounds intriguing so i do want to read the book. And Greene's books do make good cinema.NATHANIEL Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11597109147678235399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-34892083127332456032010-04-09T18:28:52.295-04:002010-04-09T18:28:52.295-04:00Sam Riley is the most perfect person to play Pinki...Sam Riley is the most perfect person to play Pinkie ever.
