Happy New Year!
I woke up half-dreaming and half-thinking about Lawn House Blues being made in to a film. Dreaming is good but I now can’t stop thinking about who to cast as each character and it’s proving to be a challenging and interesting game. If you have any better ideas please feel free to send them in but here’s my list for starters:-
Della as a young woman – Saoirse Ronan ( so good as a vulnerable young woman)
Della as an older woman – Anne Reid ( bringing the wisdom of age to the part)
Arthur as a young man – Tom Hiddleston ( handsome and a charmer)
Arthur as an older man – Patrick Stewart ( control until the very end)
Reg as a young man – James Buckley ( perfect choice for an unexpected future)
Reg as an older man – Gary Oldman ( can play any part you ask of him)
Max – Eddie Redmayne (sensitive, intelligent, ability to grow in strength within a role)
Jenny – Rosamund Pike (beautiful and capable)
Ed – Ryan Gosling (another handsome charmer, who can actually play guitar)
Oliver – Dan Stevens ( simply born to the role)
Celine – Vicky McClure ( wonderful in all she does)
Tricia – Jamie Winston ( gritty, flexible actress)
Gus – James Norton ( can play a strong country boy, and so much more)
Sandra – Sheridan Smith ( will stand up for herself in any role )
Steve Cain – Alec Baldwin ( American alpha male)
It could be a rather expensive film! All I need now is Jane Goldman to do the scriptwriting.
