Damien is way too slim for Waters anyway.

Oh oops! My bad! Sorry about that. I thought since we were talking about the book then it would be ok.

No problem Glofigs It is not something we'd considered before so you've prompted an important thing!

So guys....from now on in this topic, talking about the characters and the rough overview and tone of the book is fine, but perhaps plot details such as the above can be treated as spoilers. Especially as not everyone will have read the book (or choose not to) before the film comes out.

So.................. who has read the novel now?

Do we have any more guesses for Damien's character?

I just finished it this week. I have to say if D wasn't going to be in the movie I wouldn't have picked it up. Hated it. Not a single likable character.

IMDB has a long list now, but most of who they've added are extras.  Ugh!

I'm still not sure.  Really not very many characters left that aren't already officially announced, and it seems that of the ones left he doesn't quite fit the bill for any.  I still say Trellick is my #1 choice, if he's going to have any substantial screentime.  Glo, you mentioned Dunn, and for the life of me I can't remember which one he is!

I AM fairly certain he doesn't die though...

Interesting, again Damien doesn't fit the character description for Dunn, who is described as a big guy, balding, broad Geordie.....

Agree Glofigs, it is hard to 'like' and even engage with anti heroes who are given zero redeeming features, but perhaps on screen the humour will come across and they will ramp up the charm levels!

Hastings is likeable in the sense that he is kind of a victim to Stelfox's nastiness and seems harmless enough.

Rosanna Arquette? That's quite a serious addition and may help its US release. Weird that Damien's part hasn't been updated though.

Maybe he is the cop that tries to make it

No.  He would have made a good cop (again!), the cop shows up a few times and Oh My God that last scene the cop is involved in... However, DC Woodham is being played by a guy named Edward Hogg.

 

domino, if memory serves, Barbara is

Thanks Whimsy, oddly though, when i search my kindle copy there is no mention of a Barbara, I will read again!

frustrating lack of info on this film, have seen interviews with Nicholas Hoult, James Corden and Craig Roberts recently. none of them mentioned the film!

thanks for the info Becca A whole year feels a long way off, but hopefully we'll be hearing more about this film now!

Very happy it is having its first outing at Cannes, a teaser screening already is a great sign.

Ah, so maybe it'll premiere at next Cannes.

For all we know Damien could play a 'new' character, an amalgamation of a few original characters.

UJ - that's a very good point....there are a lot of characters in the book and it's quite possible that some of them could be mashed together.  It's also worth remembering that characters in screen adaptations don't necessarily have the physical attributes that they have in the book (anyone else remember Sandra Dickinson as Trillian in the TV version of Hitchhiker's Guide....?!)

It seems odd that the long list on IMDB doesn't include most of the names which we've mentioned!
