Irons fits the role well.
ReplyDeleteyep, he has that evilness in him :)
ReplyDeleteI suppose this show will be a worthy replacement for Tudors. :) People who like these kind of stories deserve a show such as this one (if it turns out as it should).
ReplyDeleteSadly, I probably won't watch this. Nut I'm still interested in who will play Lucretia.
as time passes I have some feeling that they will choose some unknown actress, I just hope they won't disappoint me, because her role is crucial.
ReplyDeleteJeremy Irons is getting more sinister looking the older he gets!
ReplyDeletesinister really is the right word to describe him!
ReplyDeleteI have to read up on this before I see it. Am also glad that Jeremy Irons will be doing justice to this production.
ReplyDeleteDezmond, it doesn't matter whether the actress that plays Lucrezia is known or unknown, just that she can hold her own with Jeremy. You're right, her role is crucial!
Well, she has to be stunningly beautiful and a great actress, but it wouldn't hurt if it's someone we know, because it would attract more audience. Jeremy isn't popular enough to attract bunch of people.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see this! I hope it doesn't disappoint.
ReplyDeleteThis look fabulous!! I hope we see it here in Australia.
ReplyDeleteLovely blog! I came here at Nat over at RAFanblog's recommendation. Now I've found it I can see I will be spending more time reading your posts.

ReplyDeletewelcome to HOLLYWOOD SPY :) Yes, I'm also expecting a lot from this show, especially since THE TUDORS are finishing this month, and THE BORGIAS should come instead of them next year on Showtime.
