Casting Cotillion

I just finished Cotillion ( again) and was struck by how wonderfully the young Hugh Laurie would have played Dolphinton, (think his hilarious Prince Regent in Blackadder) . The young Hugh Grant for Freddy perhaps? The young Stephen Fry for Biddenden or the prosy vicar ( just can't remember his name) Young Jennifer Erhle for Kitty ? Brenda Blethyn for Hannah Plymstock - .. but who for Olivia Broughty and Camille?




That's true. I don't think Hugh G would be quite nasty enough for Jack, though he has done a good villain or two in his day!
And how about Richard E Grant or the young Jeremy Irons for Jack ? Or even the young Colin Firth.
Since it is fantasy and we can mix generations if we like, I wonder about Margo Robbie for Olivia Broughty? And Timothée Chalomet for Camille is perfect, Carol!

Margot Robbie (sp) is definitely beautiful enough for Olivia!


I haven't seen Hugh Grant in that film, but I don't think he would be tall or broad shouldered enough.

Haven’t seen that film, but he can play sleazy!

Definitely.

Matthew Penicuik too was only 60 odd wasn't he , though looking far older and certainly acting like a valetudarian. How about Jeremy Irons? He'd have fun with that role .
The Really Useful Stuff folder is more for research factual stuff. & I'm hoping that the sanitising of The Grand Sophy means the long awaited film will happen in the next year or two. :) Of course that means the thread about Heyer films is in the wrong place as well, but there is no other obvious place.
If a Heyer film does come off, I will create a new folder for it!
