They need someone wth a man's face.<br /><br />The original I, Claudius series was extraordinary. I'd be curious to see how well another version would look. I agree with vallerose that Derek Jacobi is going to be tough to replace.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03488280779727354415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443515033089669860.post-6209485464123887292011-06-15T04:27:22.769-07:002011-06-15T04:27:22.769-07:00I am a Reacher fan and I hope they find someone wh...I am a Reacher fan and I hope they find someone who fits!!! If "The Rifleman" was still around he would be perfect! It might be a good idea to get an "unknown" to play the part.Gramnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443515033089669860.post-815226602819618802011-06-14T21:51:09.150-07:002011-06-14T21:51:09.150-07:00I am actually a sort of fan of some of Cruise'...I am actually a sort of fan of some of Cruise's films, but he is not Reacher. they need someone tall.<br /><br />I, Claudius is a series I own, one of the few. But it is certainly possible to do it again. The original series was great due to the terrific actors and the writing. There were no sets and it took me about three viewings to realize that. It will be very difficult to top Derek Jacobi and no one, but no one will be better than John Hurt as Caligula.vallerosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00823261062528849703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443515033089669860.post-13927270689188430092011-06-14T06:47:30.858-07:002011-06-14T06:47:30.858-07:00I told my husband about the choice of actor to pla...I told my husband about the choice of actor to play Reacher this morning (he's a big, big Child fan) and he choked on his cereal. After pounding him on the back, I said, "Isn't that so wrong for that character?". He just looked at me and noted that Cruise is not big enough. And after seeing his last movie with Cameron Diaz (I thought that one was awful), I can't even imagine. And I don't even read the Reacher books. LOLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
