Who Could Play Henry James in a Movie?

Glancing at a TV program magazine today, I saw a listing for The Remains of the Day, James Ivory’s movie based on Kazuo Ishiguro’s novel of the same name. This is, in fact, quite a Jamesian story, and it’s not surprising that it was directed by James Ivory, who has made a couple of movies based on James’ novels.

What struck me though was a picture of Anthony Hopkins standing next to Emma Thompson. (The picture above is the same one that I saw in the magazine.) It struck me how much Hopkins looks like Henry James, and how perfect a role it would be for him.

I don’t know if anyone has plans to make a movie about or featuring Henry, but if someone did, Hopkins would get my vote.

    I think Nicholas is on to something from the looks standpoint. But I also think Ray Winstone would be great….
