So how do you all feel about this movie they're making for HBO
staring Geoffrey Rush as Peter Sellers. I just really can't picture him in the role. There are a few others I just can't quite see in their role either. Here's a list of the cast...
Credited cast:
Geoffrey Rush .... Peter Sellers
rest of cast listed alphabetically
Sonia Aquino .... Sophia Loren
Eliza Darby .... Sarah Sellers
Stephen Fry .... Maurice Woodruff
Talia Lanning .... Victoria Sellers
John Lithgow .... Blake Edwards
Miriam Margolyes .... Peg Sellers
Steve Pemberton .... Harry Secombe
Charlize Theron .... Britt Ekland
Stanley Tucci .... Stanley Kubrick
Edward Tudor-Pole .... Terence 'Spike' Milligan
Emily Watson .... Anne Howe
Who knows, maybe it'll decent, and maybe I'll actually believe that he's Sellers and that Charlize Theron is Britt Ekland, but I kind of doubt that. Don't get me wrong, I do believe that Rush is a really good actor, I just can't see him as Sellers. Well it's due out this year, not sure exactly when, but I'm sure you'll see it advetised on HBO. Hopefully I can talk someone into recording it for me when it comes on, I don't have HBO.
What's your opinion on all of this.

Wed, August 4, 2004 - 12:32 AMI am sold! I wanna! Gimme! Actually think HBO will do a theatrical release of it first. Edward Tudor-Pole as Spike! That's almost like Nick Cave playing Christopher Lee in a walk-on in The Life And Death Of Peter Cushing. Charlize WILL suck, however.

Sun, October 3, 2004 - 12:56 PMThe thing about playing Peter Sellers is that Peter Sellers didn't even know how to play himself.
Geoffrey is going to have to pull a rabbit from his hat. -
