Brideshead Revisited (2008)
OK, this isn't going to cause evryone here to jump for joy it but it is interesting. Originaly, the remake of the Evelyn Waugh novel was set to star Jude law and Paul Bettany....but for some reason they are not in it.
I don't know what other changes have been made but as I understand it, the story will not center around the love relationship between the two men but will instead center on the relationship between Charles Ryder and Julia Flyte. We shall see if that is true considering the relationship between Sabastian and Charles is the central theme throughout the novel. I have not read it yet but sounds like "Pride and Prejudice" without the happy ending. I loved both that novel and all of the film versions. I guess I am a Romantic at heart.
Some may remember that it was the 1981 BBC/PBS mini series that launched the careers of Jeromy Irons and Anthony Andrews. Andrews doing less well as Irons.
The current production stars;
The original film had great importance to me as I had just graduated from high school and had come out for the first time and the showing of this miniseries made me feel like it was not abnormal.
Soundtrack is very beautiful....here is a small clip from the original 1981 version with the music;
