New projects for Firth


Let's work up some good project ideas. Hope Kingsman is a big, big hit. Mr. Firth is overdue. Would like to see him take over the George Smiley role in a remake of Looking Glass War (with Goran Visnjic in the role of the patriot-spy:). And, a really epic adaptation of The Honorable Schoolboy, with First in the Smiley role. I just think he's better suited for it than Oldman. Firth would be great as a conflicted Englishman in the Cold War Era. Also like to see Rivers of London books by Aaronovitch made into films, with First perfect as Nightingale. Any other ideas! Big, quality productions made with name directors. I think a lot of Firth's recent endeavors have been disappointing due to poor direction. Top Hooper would be a good director choice for Honorable Schoolboy.

I'd love to see him as Maxim deWinter in a remake of "Rebecca." His nameless bride? Carrie Mulligan, perhaps.
