Simon: David Jason Peggy: Hugh Grant Chris: Michael Caine Ric: Alan Rickman Gerry: Christopher Lee Title: Re: Fairport Convention: The Movie Post by: Amethyst (Jenny) on October 07, 2008, 04:35:46 PM Are you away with the fairies laddie today??

But what I want to know is, how on earth could Ric ever be played by Alan Rickman! Rickman would have to portray a former support artist so I'm told.

Rickman would have to portray a former support artist so I'm told. Nope, can't see him as Vikki Clayton either. Title: Re: Fairport Convention: The Movie Post by: gower flower (Shirl) on October 08, 2008, 04:16:43 PM Some extremely dodgy casting decisions. >:(
Title: Re: Fairport Convention: The Movie Post by: PLW (Peter) on October 08, 2008, 04:40:33 PM In a Cropredy programme one year, I seem to remember Fairport members were asked who would play them in a movie. Ric said Nigel Kennedy. I can't remember any of the others.
Title: Re: Fairport Convention: The Movie Post by: Dr Monk on October 08, 2008, 05:31:44 PM Surely Peggy could only be played by Richard Wilson.
Title: Re: Fairport Convention: The Movie Post by: Sir Robert Peel on October 08, 2008, 07:01:45 PM What kind of film is this, K'Kid?
In the 'Carry On' version the cast-list might read Sandy - Barbara Windsor Peggy - Bernard Bresslaw Simon - Jim Dale Swarb - Sid James and so on ......... (not forgetting a cameo of David Hughes by Charles Hawtrey) In the Hollywood blockbuster version: Swarb - Johnny Depp Simon - Russell Crowe Richard Thompson - George Clooney Peggy - John Malkovich Sandy - Kate Winslet Dave Mattacks - Brad Pitt Have you had enough yet? I take it that you don't want to read my 'Sunday Night Costume Drama' version or my Gangster movie version (directed by Guy Ritchie and starring Ray Winsome, Bob Hoskins and Keira Knightley)? No, I'll leave it there. ;D Title: Re: Fairport Convention: The Movie Post by: KascadeDan on October 08, 2008, 08:09:32 PM What kind of film is this, K'Kid?

Title: Re: Fairport Convention: The Movie Post by: Neil Morrell on October 08, 2008, 11:08:13 PM Surely Peggy could only be played by Richard Wilson. But after growing all that hair for the part in Merlin, surely you don't expect him to shave it off!! :o :o (unless it is to stick on his chin).
