I don't think there are many discussions about Emma adaptations without referring to who most of us consider to be the ultimate Knightley - Mr. Jeremy Northam. I don't mean to discredit Jonny Lee Miller's performance - I thought he was quite good. I just wasn't thrilled with the overall production and felt in need of a little bit of Jeremy to cheer me up. I found this interview he did with costar Bryan Brown for Dean Spanley. I was excited about the trailer when it came out but haven't heard any more of the film. Wondering if anybody has seen Dean Spanley?
Now for a little dose of Mr. Northam :)
I had posted the trailer earlier but here it is again...
I've finally seen the film and thought it was just fair. I think I was expecting more based on the trailer but I found the movie to be rather boring and how could I say that with Jeremy in it?! Oh well.
saw it a few months ago here in NZ (was an NZ director). Charming film, rather quirky and Jeremy delightful.
ReplyDeleteThere cannot be enough of Mr. Northam. I love him in Possession.
ReplyDeleteAnon,
ReplyDeleteGlad you got to see it! I was jealous when I saw on IMDb that it's played in NZ but seems to have not aired here except for the Toronto film fest.
Gricel,
I thought he was good in Possession as well!
