Let's have some fun and kick around some names for the cast! Any Dark Shadows character is fair game.

Changing my mind about Emily Blunt as Angelique--
I want some one a bit older...How about Amanda Peet?
and can we find a way to throw in Tom Hulce and Richard E. Grant somewhere? :lol:

It's a darn shame that Sharon Stone is too "old" eeeeeeeeeeeek for Angelique!
Karen - October 28, 2007 07:32 PM (GMT)
How about Tom Hollander for Roger Collins????

BINGO!
Keira Knightley for Maggie
Orlando Bloom for Quentin
Kevin McNally for Maggie's dad
Geoffrey Rush-Jason
Marty Kebbla(sp?)-Willie
Where can I put Bill Nighy? :unsure:
Wait---haven't we seen this film before :lol: (Sorry, couldn't resist mates---I'm still seriously thinking here..........)

Karen - October 29, 2007 12:07 AM (GMT)
LOL I know that movie too ....here's another thought..
Quentin Collins = Jack Davenport.
Quentin Collins = Jack Davenport.
amp - October 29, 2007 01:11 AM (GMT)
Tom Hollander, Bill Nighy and Jack Davenport would be okay with me.
I'm always trying to think creatively when I "cast a film". lol
I did think of Sharon Stone right off and it is a shame she's too "old".
Also, Oliver Platt would make a good Stokes.

Oliver Platt! I hadn't thought of him.
It's the Grayson Hall part that has me stumped...who could play Dr. Hoffman??
Wait, I know she's done AW with Johnny, but what about Charlize Theron for Angelique??
CpoyrightLaraParker, DanCurtisProductions
CharlizeTheron.com

They do look like sisters, don't they?
She'd have a chance play beautiful again, (been doing all those ugly/plain roles lately) and bitchy evil.
I had also thought of Emma Thompson for Dr. Hoffman.

They do! :)
I just love Angelique!
herestoyou - October 29, 2007 03:23 AM (GMT)
Wow-Charlize for Angelique would definitely fit the look. I like Emma Thompson for the doctor, too. I'm stumped---everyone has come up with great ideas, I don't think I can top any of them...........What about Victoria Winters? I didn't quite care for the actress in that role as she seems very "wooden"----does she ever show any emotion? :lol:

I chose Katie Holmes. Watch her in Pieces of April and you may see something in her that would breathe new life into that "governess" Vicky!
Oh, I could also see Natalie Portman as Maggy/Josette.
