Melissa just posted on TLC that Miranda Richardson is set to play Rita Skeeter.
I am just over the moon with this announcement - I adore her completely and think she's absolutely perfect for the role, mostly because she does Evil Vampy Bitch better than anyone (except possibly Joanna Lumley, and she'd probably be better as Narcissa, who I'm not sure is even going to be in the film anyway, alas).
Oh, now I need to go watch me some Blackadder. And oh, it is just such a pity that any interaction she has with Lucius is offscreen.
(On a related note, if this brings any of the younger fans to see The Crying Game in the way that Cuaron's directing may've led some of them to see Y Tu Mama, I will laugh at the anti-smut crusaders. Oh yes, I will.)

Date: 2004-07-23 06:29 pm (UTC)As for the Crying Game.... you, know the big surprise twist would be a lot more surprising if the Jaye Davidson's Academy Award nomination didn't totally give it away.

Date: 2004-07-24 06:36 pm (UTC)Weirdly enough I thought of Richardson for Umbridge- not physically, but the "girlish voice" thing made me think of Blackadder.
Glad she'll be in the film, though.
