msantimacassar's meme, but it's taken me quite a while to come up with actors for all the major roles. Jerry Cruncher and Dr. Manette were especially difficult for some reason. But I think I'm finally satisfied. (Left out some of the smaller roles, like Ernest Defarge, Stryver, the Marquis, and The Vengeance. I had to stop somewhere or I'd never get finished. Feel free to offer suggestions for them, though -- or to offer alternate suggestions for anyone I've cast!)
nuranar picked these fandoms of mine: Dickens, Gene Kelly, and Monk. (Cross-posted at Dickensblog.)
The definition of agony is when you get an e-mail notification that the new GE trailer is out . . . while you're in a meeting at work. I did watch it twice as soon as I was back in my cubicle, with the sound off (people can hear everything in those cubicles). It's actually pretty cool that way -- very spooky and atmospheric.
But ANYWAY, without further ado, here it is!
My opinion: Young Pip looks perfect, Joe looks perfect, Magwitch looks perfect. Satis House looks perfect. Older Pip looks very good. Mr. Jaggers isn't there long enough to get a good idea of how he looks. Estella looks . . . okay. Miss Havisham looks like she needs a tube of Blistex for Christmas.
But overall -- I think the whole thing looks marvelous.

2theriver2pray gave me the letter E. msantimacassar and I have just been discussing how difficult it is to keep track of the not one but two Great Expectations adaptations that are in the works. (While it's wonderful that so many people want to celebrate Dickens's bicentennial next year, some of them apparently forgot that he wrote anything else! Although I hear there's also going to be an Edwin Drood miniseries.)
