Queen of Scots officially happening

This is GREAT news. I honestly don't mind that she hasn't broken into mainstream movies, she has garnered attention through smaller intimate films and if this movie does well it could push her to the attention of big name directors in bigger films. It could show off her maturity, prowess, and dynamics with a character like Mary. Let's hope.

Yay i am so happy that this is going to happen, even if its with a first time director, this is such an incredible role!

This has made my day. Wonderful news! I seriously thought that project was no more in her future. Even if J.Rourke will be a first time director she seems to have a fantastic background and connections.

Bad news in my opinion. Are any of you actually familiar with the life of Mary Queen of Scots? A barrel of laughs it most definitely was not and I can't see such a depressing film having much appeal to the general public.

It would be much better for Saoirse to make a film that would be a hit at the Box Office rather than yet another miss.

This version will be a new take on Mary Stuarts life. I trust it will turn out fantastic!

I started the book by Antonia Fraser previously, but some of the author's incredibly dense detail into the royal genealogy kind of turned me off. It's a tough read, but I'll have to start it again in the future.

You don't become known as a "great actress" and get remembered just for doing popular films, though.

That is a good point but so far Saoirse hasn't made a single big popular film. We know that she is a great actress but how many people don't? And until she has at least one big hit under her belt she is unlikely to be offered any plum roles.

Personally I think she should look at television and stop concentrating solely on films. Arguably there is better quality television being made these days than film.
