She was only Queen of England for 9 days...and that was at her parents' bidding (supposedly they beat her and locked her in a closet until she agreed). Poor Jane is often overlooked being stuck in between such Tudor figures as Henry VIII and Elizabeth I. I think a story about her would be interesting to watch.
Please feel free to comment and let me know if you think someone would be a better fit for a part! Still working on this one!
EDIT AUG 28 - Thanks again to the folks at Goodreads for suggesting some actors/actresses for some of these parts!
Jane Grey (child) -
Abigail Breslin Elle Fanning
Jane Grey (older) -Ellen Page (I think she could pull this off)
Frances Brandon - Claire Forlani
Henry Grey -Daniel Craig (wouldn't he just look wonderful in doublet and hose??)
Duke of Northumberland - Hugh Laurie (I love him...)
Guildford Dudley -Daniel Radcliff
Thomas Seymour - Jude Law
Princess Mary - Charlotte Gainesbourg
Catherine Parr - Kate Winslet (old enough?)
Princess Elizabeth -Evan Rachel Wood
Henry VIII - Ray Winstone (He did so good when he played this role in another movie and he could pull off a very sick and fat Henry!)
Edward VI - Freddie Highmore
I'd love to see Daniel Radcliffe in something like that. I'd also like to see Jason Isaacs in anything, even though he's not on your list for this "film"!!
