Morgaine on Film...
The Mists of Avalon Mini-series is now in production, supposedly being filmed in Prague this very minute!!!! wowzers. I?ve heard it will be a 4 hour, 2 part miniseries. Mark Wolper bought the rights and it is being produced through TNT. ?? Hopefully my info is correct...
Here is a cast list of the main characters:
Morgaine - Julianna Margulies
Viviane - Anjelica Huston
Morgause - Joan Allen
Igraine - Caroline Goodall
Gwenhwyfar - Samantha Mathis
Arthur - Edward Atterton
Lancelot - Michael Vartan
Mordred - Hans Matheson
Well, I'm completely thrilled about Julianna, Anjelica and Samantha, I think they fit the parts physically- Julianna with her pretty curly hair and classic features, Anjelica with her noble, dramatic features and Samantha with her shyness and strawberry blond hair. And I think they are all great actresses.. Michael Vartan was cute in "Never Been Kissed" but he was blond in that movie! so I don't know what to think about that. Hans Matheson was Marius in Les Miserables, and he was pretty good.. If you have info, email me!!

Jane Allen (Morgause) is the actress who played John Travolta's wife in "Face Off" --- I guess it's a good pick... if she can perform in that powerful/ uncensored way Morgause did in the books.
Caroline Goodall (Igraine) acted with John Litgow in a rather obscure movie (at least in Portugal!). Michael Vartan (Lancelet) is in "The Next Best Thing" with Madonna.
