That would be a film to really savor.

I might Cate Blanchett and Juliette Binoche for Eleanor.

Same thing for Day-Lewis as Henry.

I do think it's important to keep in mind when casting that Eleanor was over 10 years older than Henry. Just food for thought!

Love this video of Lynn Whitfield discussing her passion for the film:

Whoopi has named Eleanor as her dream role she's always dreamed of playing... so I have to say her. I thinks she'd kill it too. Perhaps she can do it on stage or on Lifetime because obviously nobody would ever cast her in a film version. Not sure who could play Henry. Perhaps Sir Ben Kingsley.

PS happy birthday to ms Lynn Whitfield.
