Films You'd Like to See Winona in?

[CHRIS B]

Just curious to know what you guys would like to see her in.

I would love for her to do this film with Milos Forman It's called "The Ghost of Munich." She was supposed to do "Embers" with him and it would be nice for them to get to work together.

"The Ghost of Munich"

Milos Forman’s last film was “Goya’s Ghosts,” and for his follow-up, he’s probably heading for some confusion, since it too has “ghost” in the title: “The Ghost of Munich.”

“Ghosts are everywhere,” Forman laughed when we caught up with him at the Director’s Guild Honors. “We’re just finishing the screenplay [for 'The Ghost of Munich'] and I hope to be shooting sometime in the late spring.”

Forman’s screenplay is by former Czech president Václav Havel, and it’s an adaptation of the book of the same name about the the Munich conference in 1938, when Hitler, Mussolini, Chamberlain, and the President of the French Council, Edouard Daladier, convened, promising “peace in our time” only to see Hitler then invade Czechoslovakia.

Although most of the participants were infamous, Daladier was a phantom, a ghost — a nowhere man who was at the center of it all. But the movie finds him thirty years later, in the summer of 1968, when a female American journalist is on a mission to find the believed-to-be-dead Daladier and to get him to reveal the truth about the historical event.

“I just started meeting with young actresses [to play the American journalist],” Forman said, “and I got to tell you, I’m so impressed. It’s going to be a hard choice. A hard thing. Like with Courtney Love [in "The People Vs. Larry Flynt" and "Man On The Moon"], this girl has to bring to the part her own personality, not to play a character. She has to bring her own personality.”

Casting Daladier will also be hard, Forman said, because he actually needs two of them — one that’s 40 years old (for the flashbacks to the Munich conference), and one that’s almost 80 years old. Plus, Forman said, “I still don’t know if [the film] will be in English or if it will be in different languages, in which case, I would need a French actor who speaks English, of course, because the spine of the film is in English.”

When we suggested Mathieu Almaric — who already has a “Munich” film under his belt and has a star turn in the upcoming James Bond film “Quantum of Solace,” Forman sounded intrigued. “Which category does he fit in?” he asked. The 40-years-old one, we assured him. “Hmmm…” Forman said as he walked away. So, Mathieu, if you get a call from Milos anytime soon, you know who to thank.

Also would love to see Winona in any of these.

It would be great to see her and Scorsese work together again. For this I would love to she her in the Role of Alice Lee, Roosevelt's wife.

*"The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt"

For the Jennifer Connelly role.

*"The Ice at the Bottom of the World"

* Tim Burton's "Dark Shadows." Or an Orginial Burton film woud be even better!
* The Tim Leary Biopic
* The Cold War Espionage Trial Drama

*"The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt"

This would be great. CB.
I just happen to be reading this great book now!
Had no idea it was movie bound.

Or, she could play their daughter, also named Alice Lee. She was a real character!

But the author describes TR's wife as having 'moon white colored skin,' so that may be the way to go.

I would like to see Winona in more films with a prominent leading role.  No more of this ensemble stuff.

Scorsese's The Silence. With Dan Day-Lewis, Benicio Del Toro and Gael Garci Bernal.. ooohh, pleaaase please..

Although, after reading the plot summary, I don't think there will be any females in the cast. If there are any, it will probably be very small roles.

Two Jesuit priests, Sebastião Rodrigues and Francis Garrpe, travel to seventeenth century Japan under the Shogunate regime (which has isolated itself from all foreign contact) to see how the evangelical mission is going. There they witness the persecution of Japanese Christians at the hands of their own government, which wishes to purge Japan of all western influence. Eventually the priests separate and Rodrigues travels the countryside, wondering why God remains silent while His children suffer

I hope Mr. Scorsese will think of Winona when casting the roles in this film. The only thing is this film has been in production hell for the last 3 or 4 years, makes me wonder what the problem is.

I second that!

An (good - we lacked even that lately) ensemble movie is fine every now and then - but I also like to see her in movies that actually hit the cinemas in wide release

[CHRIS B]

I'd be very interested to see what Winona would be like in this one.

"Poor Things"

and...

"Untitled Woody Allen London Project"

I would love to see Johnny Depp and Winona in this... though, Steve Martin and Winona would be great too! I just watched this film on TCM and the whole time I was thinking I could see Winona in a remake of this, not even knowing it was being remade!

"Topper"

[CHRIS B]

If would be so awesome to see Winona in a Hitchcockian film!!

"Number 13"

The drama centers on Hitchcock's lost and unfinished first film, Number Thirteen. In the film, the director gets caught up in a Hitchcockian dilemma when he ends up in a love triangle with two crew members while making the film. When the lead actor turns up dead, the editor suspects the director and tries to uncover the truth

This is being adapted from the Cormac McCarthy novel and it's a western drama! Who else always wanted Winona to play in a western? She can play Magdalena, the fragile young prostitute.

"Cities Of the Plain"

[CHRIS B]

Here's two more:

The Sam Mendes directed "Middlemarch"

And Mark Ruffalo's directorial Debut, "Sympathy For Delicious"

[CHRIS B]

On Sunday, Johnny Depp, Tim Burton and screenwriter John August had a meeting in Paris to discuss a project. The project is most likely "Dark Shadows." Who here would like to see Winona work with Depp and Burton again on this project? Just wondering...

The Ice at the Bottom of the World
with Meryl Streep and Charlize Theron. i can kick out Jennifer Connelly although i really adore her (;

I vote Winona for the role of Mary Baker Eddy! Val Kilmer is directing and playing Twain!

"Mark Twain and Mary Baker Eddy"

Photo of Mary! I think Winona can pull that look off pretty well. What you guys think?
