Yes, Grand Duke, Isabella Rossellini is EXACTLY who came to mind after I'd posted my last post saying nobody could.
I think she would do really well even to the accent! (but is she quite old now??)

I thought about Ingrid Bergman, but since she is dead :'( , I thougth in her daugther!
Maybe Ingrid's grand-daugther could do? She is also very BEAUTIFUL !!! :-*
Nicole does she looks like a Victorian beauty.
Oh heavens Isabella's daughter, whos name I dont think I know, looks more like Ingrid than Isabella ever did, in my opinion.
Nicole Kidman is a cheap Hollywood-manufactured blonde.
I....deplore what Australian children now watch.
How about Tilda Swinton - (sorry I have no photos of her.)

But yes, ultimately if anyone 'known' it would have to be IR who played Ella in my opinion.
Nicole Kidman is a cheap Hollywood-manufactured blonde.
Nicole Kidman is a cheap Hollywood-manufactured blonde.
I'd go for Meryl Streep. Nicole Kidman just doesn't have any class.
And how about Glenn Close ?
BTW, what exactly is her natural hair color? I've read that it's red, but in other places, it says it's blonde. I guess I always assumed it was red.
she was married to that skunk Tom Cruise.
And what about Courteney Cox?
For Ella's niece the Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna jr - Drew Berrymore?
And not Miranda Richardson because she makes me think of Queenie in 'Blackadder" which was so side-splittingly funny!! ;D
One of my faves (since she was on As the World Turns in the 1980s!)
Julianne Moore (she has presence and Oscar noms and looks great w/o makeup and in period outfits)
also Patricia Clarkson (well-respected)
and a 'newbie' Miranda Otto from Lord of the Rings
[
Are you going to drag up Lulu next...or Cher!...or Tina Turner?? ;D
(I have a feeling that this thread is just turning into a gallery of Grand Duke's favourite women!!)
But WHO would play Serge?? Jeremy Irons??
:P [size=18]ENVY IS SUCH AN UGLY DEFECT ![/size] :P
oh he would be absolutly perfect. I mean now that you saw it toria and can not see anyone better for the part. ;D
I'm in no way envious of Nicole Kidman. I just consider her to be cold, unattractive and just unlikeable.
But I find Jeremy Irons extremely attractive :D - - I can't say the same about Serge.
Jeremy Irons ::) would be brilliant at playing the highly-strung character, too....Oh when he's angry!!! Swoon, swoon.... ;)
And many find her warm, hot, dropdead gorgeous, charming and adorable. I am not necessarily among the people who do. I don't know whether she is a likeable person or not, but UNATTRACTIVE and COLD?! Huh???? That's like calling the sun dark and chilly ??? ;D
Too bad he is slightly too old. But nothing impossible to remedy.
Why not William Hurt for Serge?
I think physically William Hurt will (after make-up and everything) probably look even closer to Sergei than Irons, but as much as I like Hurt as an actor I think Irons would make an incomparably better Sergei Alexandrovich.
I'll bet that's not all you're looking at, Your Grace! ;)
Jude Law for Serge ? ???

Miranda Richardson:

PLEASE STAY ON THE TOPIC!!!!!!!!!!
She looks like one of the those Princess of Montenegro.
Catherine Deneuve

my casting: notice that I prefer Kate Blanchett for a young Ella and Glen Close for an older... Or perhaps Uma Turman? I think she could without make up! Excuse me (for the Jeremy Irons fans! :P :-/) but I can find in him and Serge the same... how say that? They look unhealthy... :-/
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v248/lyzotchka1/Sanstitre-6.jpg)
Years ago, Deborah Kerr was a dead ringer for Ella...
Oh come on, Grand Duke! (You of the very large wardrobe! ;D) She is nothing like Ella!!
(http://www.maxima.pt/1204/dos/i/p92a.jpg)
Hey Grand-Duke, who is she anyway?
Nicole Kidman is such a classless tart ...excuse me ...
What about a dark haired Angelina Joile with dark hair. She has the looks!
Ella....Meryl Streep
Maria Pavlovna (the younger)....Helena Bonham Carter
Dimitri....Tom Cruise
How about Julia Roberts for Ella? She is versitile.
Apart from Isabella Rossolini, I can't see others in the role of "Ella".
Do you think there are any chances that hollywood would someday make an Ella movie?
Hmmm...Maybe a BBC or inconjuction with an independent film. :)
That would be great...but a Russian actress as Ella ? ???
Charlizie as Ella ??? :o :o :o
I don't think so...
She looks more suited to the beach, while Ella had a more classical look...I don't know maybe with a lot of make up ? ???
I still think someone like Irene Jacob (who was in three colors- Red "Rouge") would be a better Ella.
I think a young Rupert Evertt would be nice, as he is handsome but cold as well. Ralph Finnes or Daniel Day Lewis could be as well. Even Oliver Martinez would not be too far fetched...I think ::)
You think Olivier Martinez is too old ? I should think not. >:(
Serge's looks are more angular than Colin's (An Irishman). Yes They are too hot ! Ella was beautiful, but she was more sublime than hot. I think she will be all wrong for the part.
Maybe you can produce it ;DQuote
maybe i'll produce it someday...who knows ;D ;D ;D
Laura
Then we will have long to wait ;D
Who is she ? ???
Now she is much older than Ella. She could play Miechen though...
You don't think Meryl can play Miechen ? I say 100% Yes ! Isabelle Ajani could play Ella.
Marion is a well-established actress and I personally consider her very beautiful. Her chocolate brown/auburn hair, pure blue eyes, delicate smile and flawless, fair skin
I would cast these actress for a four graces movie it would be about romance and drama.
Vhm; cate Blanchett : she really look like Victoria!

Sadly It didn't worked with the pics.
To my eyes, Ilze Liepa looks a pretty good likeness for Ella, but she will need to leave off all the make-up to do the part properly.
She has brown eyes, however, and I have a suspicion that Ella's were blue.

Interesting, as she does not actually seem to have done much acting - last significant part in 2000.
Is she better known as a dancer?
I wonder who will play Serge - bound to be a very difficult role.
Ann
Given that Ilze Liepa is 54 years old, could it be that the film will only be presenting the last period of Ella's life, a bit like Romanovy: Ventsenosnaya Semya?

As I read, the story will start in 1883 and end in 1918 with her death.
Whoops! Yes, you did write that - sorry! :D
This is very exciting! I hope the movie will be a great success.
I look forward to any trailers in the meantime. ;)
Ah! It’s especially at times like this I wish I knew Russian! Did the director reveal who they will be portraying?

Thanks for the updates! :)
He didn't say who exactly these actors will be portraying, only that Merzlikin will represent the new Soviet, atheistic Russia, while Mikhailov - the old Tsarist Orthodox Russia.
This leads me to think that Mikhailov might be portraying GD Sergei, though I'm not sure.
how about casting a little girl as the 1895-1903 "Ella" that died of typhoid?
