Jude Law to play Withnail

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

A travesty I tells you!

Any Jude Law fans out there willing to mount a defence?

I was going to post it in the "pissed off" thread, but it's far too awful for that.

REG simply cannot be touched. 'specially not by that woodblock idiot.

I would like to see W&I in a stage adaption, but it HAS to be by English actors. I can't believe REG wouldn't do it again...

Jude Law is English :?:

Edit: Or was actor the word you were quibbling with? :innocent:

I really can't think of anybody worthy of playing him in a remake.
Just leave it alone for god sake. It doesn't need remaking.

But I agree a stage show with the two of them would be good. :notworthy:

Agreed - leave it alone!

On other showbiz news it gets really scary -
"Former footballer Vinnie Jones and ex-EastEnders actor Shane Richie are to star in a new Carry On film - the first to be made since 1992. "

A travesty indeed, and I'm surprised Bruce Robinson agreed to it. I guess the financial reward will be too good to turn down.

What's the story on RE Grant not wanting to do it? It's arguably his best and most famous role. He was brilliant in it!

Ah, no, you're quite right. I completely forgot his origins. Merci.

I'd guess they didn't even ask him; he's probably "too old" :urff:

Bollocks to that; what about Billy Nighy, or even Ian McKellan? Are they too old?

Actually, Nighy would make a good 'old' Withnail. Hell, he is...

No it's not that. He's locked in my attic :twisted: :kiss: :wink: .

Jude Law is a talentless cnut. End of.

I found a version on t'Internet ages ago, corrected some of the more obvious mistakes, and put it up there. TBH I've never sat down and checked it word-for-word against the film; that would be too geeky (even for me).
