This could be really great. But then again...well, let's hope for the best! Here's hoping that the director of Four Weddings and a Funeral will find something new and exciting to say about Pip, Estella and Miss Havisham.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jenny. I hope they do great justice to Charles Dickens' masterpiece of a novel. I am in love with the 1998 movie adaptation starring Gwyneth Paltrow and Anne Bancroft. I hope this new movie makes me appreciate the novel more. Can't wait to see how the new movie will render Paradiso Perduto.
