Famous Habsburgs in movies/plays/cartoons

[aor]

They both are such beautiful actors!!

[Yelena Aleksandrovna]

I agree with you Therry ;-)

Hard to find another to play Sisi. They all dawft when compared to Romy.

[Maria_Pavlovna]

I really think that Romy was prettier then Sissi.

[Eric_Lowe]

Well...Ava Gardner had the glamour although wrong body type. I think Winnola Ryder could play her.

[Imperial_Grounds]

There are still rumors that Catherine-Zeta Jones and Tom Hanks are to play Sisi in Franz in,what is to be the first, a Holywood-production on her life(ofcourse there have been Hollywood-movies on her before, but this could be a chance that they cut out on the 'early romance' and move to Sisi's tragedy)

[Yelena Aleksandrovna]

Do you know something about this movie with Katherine Zeta Jones??
I read about it two years ago, but I don't know what happened, if it is really
going to be made... any idea??

[Eric_Lowe]

Tom Hanks as FJ !!!! I think not ! He already ruined the Dan Brown series. It would be like Foresst Gump playing Prince charming. Actually I think Catherine is better as Maria Sofia, she had more spunk.

[Madame-Sisi]

im watching a movie now with Sandra bullock and when i look at her...i see some of the same features as in sisis fase...and she is a great actress 2...can be verry funny and very dramatic and serious...
i think she would be a good Elisabeth...
or Rachel Weisz..

[Eric_Lowe]

A mini-serieson the whole family would be entertaining.

[historylover]

It would be entertaining.  They're a very interesting and rather odd lot!

[Eric_Lowe]

Yes I am afraid.

[Imperial_Grounds]

What always was fascinating to me is the fact that Rudolf was really like his mother, he had all her ways of thinking and had himself a deal of 'odd habbits', like his mother, and both they were fascinated by the idea of death.

A miniseries would be great, following the reign of Franz from the Revolt in 1848 up to his death, or the death of Elisabeth. Also a dramatic series, like the Tudors, would be great to see - if it would have some historical accuracy - or even a documentary series on the Habsburg reign(like Russia: Land of the Tsars)

[Madame-Sisi]

i agree with you imperial grounds...
it would be better then the over romantic movies

[Eric_Lowe]

Yes. The problem is that can it make money...movies are expensive to shoot.
