However, this is indeed a good novel.<BR/><BR/>That stinks! I was looking forward to Daldry directing this. I hadn't heard otherwise until your update here. <BR/><BR/>I thought of Jude Law, too. (You might want to adjust that sentence in your post). Salvador Dali? How about Johnny Depp or Benicio Del Toro? For some reason, either of them strike me as being capable of doing someone stylish and weird. It could be from watching <I>Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas</I>.<BR/><BR/>Well, Natalie Portman is a great actress.
