The casting directors held auditions last week, looking for Northern actors. It's going to be a large cast, even if Richard is not interested in being J.Strange (I found him an irritating character in the book to be honest, although in the series he's likely to have a lot of screen time) there are loads of other characters he could take on my top picks are the Yorkshireman Childermass and the King of the North the Raven King. Richard's Northern characters tend to be popular.

Habt ihr von dieser geplanten BBC Miniserie ( Buchverfilmung) schon was gehört?
Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell

Nimue hat geschrieben:Die Serie wird am Samstagabend laufen, zu einer tollen Sendezeit und hat über BBC America weite Verbreitung. Klingt auch nach hochwertiger Produktion und dann noch mit dem Regisseur von Sherlock. 7 Folgen sind überschaubar, gerade wenn er eine kleinere Rolle hätte.
Karriere- und popularitätstechnisch wäre das sicher nicht schlecht für ihn.

Were Jonathan Strange, Mr Norrell and the Raven King modeled after any historical figures?
Not really. Their antecedents are mostly literary. Strange has a touch of Byron in him, I suppose, and a little of the eighteenth-century rakes — Valmont in Les Liaisons Dangereuses and so forth. I wanted him to have a little wickedness in him — or the potential for wickedness, at any rate.

The Raven King had an odd genesis. Ursula Le Guin has a magician in the Earthsea trilogy who has no name: the Grey Mage of Paln, whose magic was so dubious, his name was forgotten. And there?s a magician in The Lord of the Rings, right at the very end, who comes out of Mordor to do battle against our heroes, and no one knows his name because he himself has forgotten it. I thought this was rather cool, and when I was developing my magicians, I wanted one without a name. Unfortunately I hadn?t quite understood what would happen if I had a major character without a name. The consequence has been that he has acquired more names than most people: the Raven King, John Uskglass, the Black King, the King of the North and a fairy name that no one can pronounce.

Ich hatte das Buch mal angefangen, es aber wieder auf Seite gelegt ...
Gedreht würde in und um York und an und für sich wäre das sicher ein RAtsames und vielversprechendes Projekt für ihn. Die Bafta-/BBC-America-Connection spräche auch dafür ... Aber wer weiß

Am Ende werden wir aus dem Strahlen vielleicht gar nicht mehr herauskommen, bei all den tollen Projekten an denen Richard die besten Rollen haben wird.
