#gabrielle's definitely the trickiest to cast which just feels like such a reflection of how the industry treats older actresses

any new/updated thoughts on potential dream casting for Gabrielle or other characters? :)

Amazing timing, anon, because I watched Far From Heaven the other night for the first time, and while I've always liked Julianne Moore for Gabrielle, that movie made me think about how amazing Patricia Clarkson would be. I feel like other people might have suggested her, but she really can move between such warmth and such coldness as an actress, which feels important for Gabrielle.

Also this is a very Australian choice, but I was talking to another writer the other day about how disappointingly bad Force of Nature: The Dry 2 was (the first one was pretty good for an outback detective film!), haha, BUT, that did make me think about Richard Roxborough as a potential choice for Marius? He might be a little old though these days, but then again, they've probably got quite a bit of flexibility with Marius' age.

Also-also, haha, I've been thinking maybe Gabriel Byrne would be a cool choice for Magnus.
