thanks, morrie. Day-Lewis got Lincoln over Neeson, and now Neeson gets this Good to see him back in a Scorsese film.

Neeson is a strong third choice. But I would have Taken Gary Oldman or DDL over him. But nice to see that Neeson still wants to use his chops.

I hadn't even considered Neeson. That came right out of the blue for me. Need to think a bit about that.

I think it's a great choice.

"I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of acting skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for directors like you. If you give me the role now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will break your eyeglasses."

Hmm, I don't think it's a great choice. Honestly, Liam Neeson wouldn't be one of my first five choices for the role. Having said that, it's not a bad choice either. Neeson is obviously a good actor. However, I'm having a hard time imagining him as the almost mythological figure (and without the strong accent). But when you imagine DDL in the role, anything else is bound to disappoint you. I guess Neeson's role as Ra's al Ghul in Batman Begins is perhaps the role most similar to this one. Or am I forgetting something?

Ethan Frome was a "tortured" man. And Neeson did play a "Priest" before.

I haven't seen Ethan Froome. Do you recommend it? And yes, Neeson did play a "priest" before, but that priest was very unorthodox.

I haven't seen it in a while, but I remember enjoying the emotional suffering.

I completely forgot about that as well! Embarrassing, really.

Shooting in August makes sense since all the casting announcements & everything makes it look clear that Scorsese's pilot to his new HBO show is going in front of the cameras first.
This might mean we'll get a new HBO Scrosese show next Fall followed up by a new Scorsese film in November or December!
