    Sounds delicious. I would love to see this done well. It’s time for Pattinson to prove he possesses some chops.

    Uma Thurman is great. But Nicole Kidman I think would have complemented Robert Pattinson more.

    Wow…Uma Thurman. Great Actress, I really like her, but isn´t she a bit old to play the role of Madleine Forestier? When I read the book I thought she was younger…
    But KST is perfekt for Madame Walter.
