I came back to this because of John Simm's brilliant performance in 'Life On Mars'...
Just listing the cast, and the writer gives an idea of how good this is...
John Simm"24 hour party people","Human Traffic", Bill Nighy,"Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy","love Actually" ,"Shaun Of the Dead" , "Hot Fuzz"etc ,David Morrissey, "Stoned","Basic Instinct 2",loads of fantastic T.V. KellyMacDonald,"Trainspotting","No Country For Old Men" James McAvoy." Last King of Scotland","Atonement"...written
by Paul 'Shameless' Abbott...the story is one of 'political intrigue'...but it's really about the lives of the characters...
Apparently,there is a Hollywood version in the pipeline.. Brad Pitt
as the John Simm character!..i hate it already!
Latest news ,that i know of ,is that the writers strike may have claimed this production,with Brad Pitt dropping out... all i would suggest is...if you insist on "remaking" get the best, get John Simm, and keep it set in England...you know what? just forget it!...how could it possibly be better than this production anyway?
