Without saying 'init'. And he's not even all that good looking.  ;D ;D

he's good looking in the same way that darnley was: quite an effeminate way.

i personally don't like it, but many women find that attractive, just like darnley was considered attractive too.

Well, it's a matter of opinion I guess. Either way, I'd hate to see him involved in a film like this.  :P

Beckham would be a fabulous Darnley! He even looks like him.

Don't know that Victoria would be right for Lady Bothwell as she is such a scene stealer (see "Spice -the Movie").

I would think Mel B, Mel C, Vic and Emma could do a good job as the four Maries and could do some rock interludes, following the example of the recent Coppola film: "Marie Antoinette". Ex band member "Ginger" (!)would make a good Elizabeth, perhaps in the manner of Miranda Richardson in "Blackadder".  :D

Shame she wasn't available to play QEII instead of Helen Mirren ;D ;D ;D
Its always the same starlets isn't it! (Now I will pull my tongue out of my cheek)

it is! The mere thought of Scarlett Johansson as Mary Queen of Scots is absurd, though she seems the right person to play Mary Boleyn. I mean, blond, buxom, pretty  . . . i've got to admit I actually imagined Scarlett as Mary before I even heard she was acting as the other Boleyn girl!

Was she playing Mary Boleyn or Mary Queen od Scots ? She did very well in the period drama "Girl With the peal earring".  ;)

Scarlett wouldn't be my first choice to play Mary, but as Eric Lowe said, she was good in the girl with the pearl earring.  I think she's quite a good actress and could certainly convey Mary's seductiveness and allure very well. 

Does anyone know who else has been cast in this film?

Yes, Scarlett sure is a  dazzling actress.

And I checked the Mary Stuart movie on imdb, but they only had Scarlett as Mary. I don't think they've settled on the roles yet.

I think Becks would be good at the Darney role.  ;)

Darney was not known to have much brains either...a kind of male bimbo (used ruthlessly by Scottish nobles who wanted to bring Mary down). Seriously I think Jude Law will be a good choice for the role.  ;)
