Elisabeth Moss starring in remake

Saw this. I think it could be a great production, although I'm quite fond of the 1990 adaptation. It has it's flaws though, and a full out mini-series would suit the book better. Still, this picture is pretty affective. I watched it recently and it still holds up, for me, anyhow.

I'm not too keen on Moss though. I think she's too mousy. Granted, the character of Offred is rather quiet, externally, and obeys on command, but she has such a strong inner core. I always felt Gemma Arterton or Hannah Ware would be better suited.

When will you ever learn, this feeling is all you can discern?

Moss wouldn't be my first choice either - I do love Gemma Arterton - I was thinking Saoirse Ronan or Rooney Mara

Have you seen Moss in Mad Men? She will have no trouble portraying a character with a strong inner core.

Look what a mouse Peggy was in Mad Men, yet look where she ended up. Totally agree with you on this one, ChocolateButt.
