Michael Johnson Posted 15 May , 2009 Share Posted 15 May , 2009 Just to see what people are attracted to. And I'm putting together my "Dream Cast" for the never-to-be-released blockbuster. My picks so far: Marie - Audrey Hepburn (Roman Holiday) The General - Claude Rains (Casablanca) Marie's father - C. Aubrey Smith or Johns Mills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Johnson Posted 22 May , 2009 Author Share Posted 22 May , 2009 Only six votes? I know that more than that read this story. If you are new, you can find the story to date in the John and Marie Blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGM Posted 23 May , 2009 Share Posted 23 May , 2009 The problem with choosing one is that all the others have to be rejected. I think I will wait for a few more episodes before I finally reject all but one. Hope that's OK.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madame Johnson - Katherine Hepburn with a French accent Cheers Kim Kim, Have you been peeking in my family album? That's scary! This is my grandmother Jeanne Dominique Albertine Verzieux Marie's Mother just has to be played by Jenny Agutter...... We tried, but couldn't find her. Must have gone walkabout ....

Guest Posted 28 May , 2009 Share Posted 28 May , 2009 Wow! When I read Madam character I saw Katherine. Cheers Kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Johnson Posted 28 May , 2009 Author Share Posted 28 May , 2009 And this could be Marie's father. In actual fact it's Barthelemy Verzieux, Jeanne's father, who served with the Garde Mobile de Rhone in the Franco-Prussian War. And could this be Jonn? But his ears stick out too much.

peterhogg Posted 28 May , 2009 Share Posted 28 May , 2009 I'll take a stab at this (and since just under 50% of Cdn soldiers were born in the UK anyway): Marie: Clemence Poesy John: Colin Farrel or Jude Law John's Captain: Colin Firth or Clive Owen Marie's father: Phillipe Noiret Good luck with the movie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGM Posted 13 June , 2009 Share Posted 13 June , 2009 Well, I've just read part 18, and it definitely has to be Madame Johnson for me, so I've voted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Johnson Posted 14 June , 2009 Author Share Posted 14 June , 2009 Well, I've just read part 18, and it definitely has to be Madame Johnson for me, so I've voted. She certainly is a character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Johnson Posted 15 June , 2009 Author Share Posted 15 June , 2009 Here is Monsieur Drolet's Franco-Prussian War medal. It is the unofficial one, as the government one was not sanctioned until 1910 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Johnson Posted 15 June , 2009 Author Share Posted 15 June , 2009 Now there's an idea. Let's kill off John and Marie, and concentrate of General Matthieu and Dominique, who are rapidly taking over this story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDP1955 Posted 15 June , 2009 Share Posted 15 June , 2009 Please dont kill the general off, I'm falling in love with him, can you kill of Dominique though, she's barring my path to true love On second thoughts maybe he wouldnt be interested in an English girl, so maybe you'd better keep Dominique alive I cant think who should play him in your non-existent blockbuster, but somebody tall, dark and mysterious ...

DDP1955 Posted 15 June , 2009 Share Posted 15 June , 2009 Errol Flynn, Clark Gable, but with a touch of David Suchet?????? Oh yes! Why didnt I think of Clark Gable, he would be perfect with just a smidge of David Suchet PERFECT! Thanks for the idea Kim ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Johnson Posted 15 June , 2009 Author Share Posted 15 June , 2009 I still think of Claude Rains in Casablanca. The General isn't corrupt, but he does have an eye for the women. David Niven doesn't look French enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Johnson Posted 6 July , 2009 Author Share Posted 6 July , 2009 Bringing this to the top. Any more votes? And when I think that when I played in the Publishers" Softball League Harlequin couldn't field a strong team. I'm less sure of who should play the General, as his character has shifted.
