He was actually a better Edmund than Mr. Knightley, perhaps it's his baby face. : )Amy Valentinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10725078863607000204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-955342718286093722.post-56583677804148710452011-12-03T19:54:20.793-05:002011-12-03T19:54:20.793-05:00Amy,
I realize you weren't feeling well but I ...Amy,<br />I realize you weren't feeling well but I believe that Johnny Lee Miller played Edmund in Mansfield Park, I have literally every make of every Jane Austen film, including Northanger Abbey with Peter Firth, a remake I would love to see as Peter Firth did nothing for me. Anyway the newer Mansfield Edmund was definitely Johnny Lee Miller - it was the meds I am sure. As to Knightly and Darcy without a doubt Northam and Firth - hands down.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13517638153438285294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-955342718286093722.post-41592913461045977442011-11-30T10:24:33.645-05:002011-11-30T10:24:33.645-05:00Hi Beebs,
As long as the meds keep working, I can...Hi Beebs, <br />As long as the meds keep working, I can. : )<br />You are so right about Colin and Jeremy forever being Darcy and Knightley in our imaginations and I do love Alan as Brandon. I loved Greg as Willoughby so much that I actually hoped the story would change and it would work out for Marianne to be with him. : )<br />It's funny that you didn't think much of Hugh Grant as Ferras either. I thought it was just me - he just seemed too, too, too polite.<br />I love all the works and I know that P & P, S & S, and EMMA are the faves but I do so love PERSUASION and you might have something there with Ioan Gruffudd as Wentworth - sweeeet. MANSFIELD PARK and NORTHANGER ABBEY need to get their time in the sun as well. I had often thought Christian Bale as Edmund but I suppose he's too old now.<br />Thanks, as always, for visiting. I always so enjoy it. Have a great day and Happy Reading! <3Amy Valentinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10725078863607000204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-955342718286093722.post-45499791043801377852011-11-30T05:15:30.380-05:002011-11-30T05:15:30.380-05:00Hi Amy, sorry to hear you're not feeling well,...Hi Amy, sorry to hear you're not feeling well, hope you're better soon.<br /><br />I'd like to see a better version of Mansfield Park, it's not my favourite Austen but I've seen a few adaptations of it and, for me, they just don't quite hit the mark. I don't know who'd play Edmund.<br /><br />Could we have a new version of Persuasion with Ioan Gruffud(?) as Wentworth cos we already know he looks good in the navy uniform and he's gorgeous. Loved the Ciaran Hinds version but prefer to look at Rupert Penry Jones.<br /><br />I don't think Colin Firth's Darcy or Jeremy Northam's Knightley could be bettered and IMHO Alan Rickman is Brandon, though I wasn't too keen on Hugh Grant's Edward Ferrars but I did like Greg Wise as Willoughby.<br /><br />The last version of Northanger with JJ Field was ok but could've been better. They'll just have to keep making new versions of MP and NA til they get it right. lolBeebshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03358906613973814461noreply@blogger.com
