If I Were Producing a Movie - Richard III

Since there have been no recent versions of his story told, I think its high time someone took the project on! I would prefer it if they didn't follow Shakespeare's play either (no offense to my man, Will S here, but I happen to like Richard). I also would NOT want it set in any other time period than when it actually happened; I really don't like it when producers do that with stories that are supposed to be set in an older time (though I LOVED K. Branagh's Hamlet!).

I thought I would submit my recommendations as to who I'd pick to play various parts in this extremely interesting story! Feel free to comment and let me know if you think there's someone better for a role...I'm not to "up" on my stars! Lol! There are a couple of major players that I just could not think of anyone to fill their shoes! :)

EDITED AUG 21 - Thank you to some of the folks at Goodreads.com for giving me some better suggestions for some of these roles!

Richard, Duke of Gloucester - Daniel Day-Lewis Jason Isaacs

Edward IV - Gerard Butler (he's so dreamy and I'd love to drool over him for a while)

Anne Neville - Moira Kelly

Elizabeth Woodville - Joan Allen Gwynneth Paltrow

Cecily Neville, Duchess of York - Glenn Close

Warwick - Mel Gibson (come on, you know you'd like to see him in another part like this...too bad he can't wear a kilt)

George, Duke of Clarence - Billy Zane (can't you just see him playing this arrogant part??)

Henry Stafford, Duke of Buckingham - Paul Bettany

Elizabeth of York -

Henry Tudor -

Margaret Beaufort - Meryl Streep
