What do you think of the choice of Sam Claflin and Rachel Weisz ?


Personally, though I like Sam Claflin, I don't think he's be suited for the part of Philip. I think he's more touching as kind guys, not as caracterial men. And Rachel Weisz... well, I don't know her much, I've seen her only in the Wizard of Oz but I don't find her charismatic enough to be Rachel. I would have prefered Mark Ryder and Emilia Clarke.

What do you think about that ?

Racehl Weisz is a great and versatile actress and I'm looking forward to seeing this movie mainly because of her. Sam Clafin I don't know his range of work but I did see him in his latest with Emilia Clarke. He's definitely a good actor. I like historical dramas and romance, and if the direction and adaptation are good, it should be a great film. I'm definitely wanting to see it because of Rachel.

There are actually very few actresses I would like to see take on Olivia de Havilland's part. I think Rachel is perfect for it.

I agree. I find her rather boring and too old for the role.
