The Scarlet Pimpernel Dream Cast

Okay, so, never have I ever put together a 'dream cast' for something. Until last week. I just finished reading The Scarlet Pimpernel for the second time and I was reminded of how much I want a movie based entirely on the one book! I know that Anthony Andrews is a fabulous Sir Percy. HOWEVER, the book is fantastic as a stand alone! It doesn't need all the added extras from other books! And because of my visual tendencies, if I read a book that I really like, I want to see it in movie form. Unfortunately, that usually means I don't like the movie because the movie doesn't stick to the book. I will never understand that, if the book was successful, why change it for the movie? Don't mess with success, people!

Anyway, I was telling all of this to my sympathetic sister, who is also a member of the Sir Percy Fan League, (which consists of my sister and I (but feel free to join in!), when we started talking about getting another Scarlet Pimpernel movie. Well, let me tell you, we have saved a casting office some time for between my sister and I, I cast Sir Percy and she cast Marguerite, we have cast the two leads. Don't ask us about any other casting, we'll leave that to the casting office. We simply can't do all the work. ;) Therefore, I am here to present you, along with some stupendous descriptions straight from the text, our cast of The Scarlet Pimpernel in the hopes that in spreading the word, it might catch on and become reality. (Haha, become reality, who am I kidding?!) :P

**A Word on Spoilers** I don't think that I have included any excerpts that would qualify as "spoilers" but if you want to avoid even the slightest hint to the story line, skip the third paragraph.

"Sir Percy Blakeney, as the chronicles of the time inform us, was in this year of grace 1792, still a year or two on the right side of thirty. Tall, above the average, even for an Englishman, broad-shouldered and massively built, he would have been called unusually good-looking, but for a certain lazy expression in his deep-set blue eyes, and the perpetual inane laugh which seemed to disfigure his strong, clearly-cut mouth." 

"Marguerite Blakeney was then scarcely five-and-twenty, and her beauty was at its most dazzling stage. The large hat, with its undulating and waving plumes, threw a soft shadow across the classic brow with the aureole of auburn hair—free at the moment from any powder; the sweet, almost childlike mouth, the straight chiselled nose, round chin, and delicate throat, all seemed set off by the picturesque costume of the period. The rich blue velvet robe moulded in its every line the graceful contour of the figure, whilst one tiny hand held, with a dignity all its own, the tall stick adorned with a large bunch of ribbons which fashionable ladies of the period had taken to carrying recently."

"She was so close to him that her soft, loose hair was wafted against his cheek; her eyes, glowing with tears, maddened him, the music in her voice sent fire through his veins. But he would not yield to the magic charm of this woman whom he had so deeply loved, and at whose hands his pride had suffered so bitterly. He closed his eyes to shut out the dainty vision of that sweet face, of that snow-white neck and graceful figure, round which the faint rosy light of dawn was just beginning to hover playfully."

I present Tom Hiddleston and Emma Watson. 

Both of them are the right age and Emma's hair is almost perfect! Both individuals are extremely talented and now...
I. Want. It! Please?!!
This idea is to good to pass up! It would make for a stellar movie!

If you know any Scarlet Pimpernel lovers, do share this around so that I might find others to suffer with me. Haha!

*takes a deep breath to calm down*

OK, before you share, if you share, what do you think of the casting choices?

Yours truly,
