It sounds more and more improbable the more I think of it. Johnny Depp has a distaste for 'romantic roles' and dislikes remakes. Why then would he agree to remake one of his favourite films? The pairing also seems so very strange, it does ring more like a rumor than truth. Maybe there's hope then? ;)Brontëanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12871588304265056120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14259201.post-1137887316253017832006-01-21T18:48:00.000-05:002006-01-21T18:48:00.000-05:00to sum it up in one word: horrific!

I guess it was our turn after the new Pride and Prejudice- wherein we saw another large lipped actress take on the role of a classic English beauty. ;)<BR/><BR/>I agree about Depp not looking like a farm labourer in Yorkshire but for me there is at least the potential of seeing what he does with the character. I don't know enough about Jolie's abilities to comment on how she might do with Cathy.<BR/><BR/>I also have a hunch that this WH will be heavy on the Gothicism- as will, possibly, the new Jane Eyre.Brontëanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12871588304265056120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14259201.post-1137822808570234072006-01-21T00:53:00.000-05:002006-01-21T00:53:00.000-05:00Depp dark???? hahaha I always thought he was far f...Depp dark???? hahaha I always thought he was far from it!<BR/>oh Bronteana hehe that comment about the heaving bosoms just made me smile:) I was indeed heartbroken on hearing this news.<BR/>I am not sure how Angelina Jolie can pull of Cathy. Literally. I doubt her ability to perform such a difficult role and moreover, like you said, her appearance would not suit. As for Depp, he is not rugged enough to make a Heathcliff, even if he is versatile as an actor. <BR/><BR/>I feel like Emily's masterpiece, which I hold so close to my heart, has been (literally) brutally molested :(mysticgypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17419674376640859205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14259201.post-1137821875123730002006-01-21T00:37:00.000-05:002006-01-21T00:37:00.000-05:00I have spread the news through other channels and ...I have spread the news through other channels and the word seems to be a a universal: "WHAT?!" And a lot of confusion- and dismay.<BR/><BR/>I think Depp stands a good chance of pulling it off- he has a way of finding the essence of a character. It would be interesting just to see WHAT he thought this would be in the case of H! I agree that he doesn't look like H in my mind either- except for the darkness. As for Jolie, I cannot imagine her living on the moors, or a farm for that matter. She is a very sophisticated, exotic, and modern-looking beauty. When they put her in ancient Greece for Alexander she looked like a modern run-way model, not Queen of Macedonia. Very hard to get my mind around these images.<BR/><BR/>I think one thing is certain in my mind- it will be a beautiful production unless they go overboard with the hyper-realism (or heaving bosoms- I think we all can do without that).Brontëanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12871588304265056120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14259201.post-1137820373077989272006-01-21T00:12:00.000-05:002006-01-21T00:12:00.000-05:00I am really disappointed...I must confess that I a...I am really disappointed...I must confess that I am not fond of the idea of these particular actors performing those roles. I find it more shocking to imagine Depp as Heathcliff than Jolie as Cathy (just my opinion...no offense intended Depp or Jolie fans). I thought Depp did a nice job in Finding Neverland and I am sure he's a good actor by all means...but I somehow just can't reconcile him and my image of Heathcliff..mysticgypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17419674376640859205noreply@blogger.com
