Idea for new Maggie film


How about an older female revenge film like a variation on Harry Brown. Based in a UK council estate.
Thoughts?

That sounds like something more suited to Helen Mirren. Granted, it would probably get people to the theater to see Maggie in such a role, but I always think of Maggie as being best in gentle, sweet, quaint movies. Movies set in the past (– but not too far past – preferably 20th-century), where she plays a gentle, wise older lady with a lot of wit. Her movies are very relaxing for that reason.

I've never seen Harry Brown though, so I could be wrong. Maybe she would be right for the role.

Please excuse typos/funny wording; I use speech-recognition that doesn't always recognize!
