Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I like all the casting choices but Tonks. But that may be that I still think my choice was better.
Who was your choice?

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
That picture of the Tonks actress probably is misleading. She looks to be playing some kind of Brontëan heroine there, which is as far as you can get from Tonks.
I was afraid they were going to cast Keira Knightly for Tonks, but she's probably too big for them now. (I don't think Knightly is necessarily a bad choice, but dear God she's overexposed. She makes me weary.)

McCutcheon is adorable, but I've been picturing Tonks as someone tall, with long, gangly limbs, not tough enough to be rangy or graceful enough to be coltish, but in the physical type thereabout.

I'll probably love her after seeing the film. See also: Mad Eye Moody. I just love McCutcheon.

Martine McCutcheon from "Love, Actually".
She would have been perfect!

Oh! If you love McCutcheon, you should try to get a hold of the opening 2-parter of Spooks S4, in which she plays a regular Jane caught in the middle of MI5 agents (sort of British FBI equivalent) trying to prevent a bombing in London. She has some lovely scenes with the main agent in the mission, played by Rupert Penry-Jones, who is hot like the sun.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Martine McCutcheon would have been good. I kept picturing Constance Zimmer
Don't ask me why. I just see Tonks as short and spunky and Zimmer has this gravelly voice that I like. She's American, but she could probably do a Brit accent.

If I only had a brain...
JK Rowling sure is getting the cream of the Brit actor crop for the adaptation of her books, isn't she?
Sure is. It's like Full Employment For British Actors month!
All she needs now is Fry and Laurie. Oh, and Judi Dench.
