Yes, Kristin Scott Thomas has been cast to play "Mrs. Danvers" in Ben Wheatley's remake of Alfred Hitchcock's film Rebecca. And my reaction is one of enthusiasm.
I was already on-board this remake because well I love Ben Wheatley, the director behind Kill List and Sightseers and A Field in England and High-Rise and Free Fire -- a string of always interesting if not always one hundred percent successful flicks from the past decade. His best films are by far his first two, which are pretty much perfect by my eyes -- everything since has had its insanely high highs with some pockets of a questionable nature crammed in. But he's good enough I will rush to see whatever he makes the second I can and I don't for-see that impulse changing any time soon.

Especially with KRISTIN SCOTT THOMAS there, fingering her panties and floating above the carpet. KST is such perfect casting I can't really even form words to express how perfect it is. When I posted about this remake the first time I asked who should play Mrs. Danvers and KST's name came up therein, because she is perfect for it, and I agreed as such, and now it is happening. IT IS HAPPENING.

Hey that was my suggestion!!!! Wow this might be a first for me. I often think "They should cast this person or that person." when I hear about upcoming projects and it never happens and I'm usually disappointed in who is cast.
But I know I won't be so this time because KST will be perfection in the role!! Now I'll be on pins and needles until it comes out. :-)
Hi. You should try watching the great Mariangela Melato in that role in a made for tv italian version of Rebecca. She's just plain amazing.
Joel -- Yes it was you! Very fine work indeed. The second you said it it all clicked right into place.
