Nicholas Nickleby (2002) with Charlie Hunnam

Never heard of it.

You had me at Charlie Hummer

Strong cast, great source material...lengthy, stylish bore of a film. Never really sparked the way it could have!

There was also one the year befor with James D'Arcy.

Loved it! Charlie was almost too pretty in it. He got better looking as he matured but still it was a wonderful movie.

[quote] Charlie was almost too pretty in it.

How is that possible?

Too pretty can read Hallmark Channel (which may not exist anymore) or catalogue model rather than serious actor. Anyway, I managed to get past it.

Hunnam

More Hunnam.

[quote] OT but it's fookin tragic that Hunnam lost his North-East accent.

[quote[ Of all the regional dialects of Britain, Geordie & Mackem are two of the more melodious and sexy.

I'd suck Charlie's big blond hairy pinga, right in front of that fucker Mr Squeers, his bitch wife & ugly daughter

Now where do I know James D'Arcy from? He looks so familiar.

[quote] He is known for his portrayals of Howard Stark's butler, Jarvis, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe television series Agent Carter and the 2019 film Avengers: Endgame,

[quote] Charlie Hunnam comes from Newcastle, where the locals have Geordie accents.

[quote] He used to sound like this, until he moved into mainstream American film & TV, when he lost his broad charming native accent, and started to sound strange in a transatlantic way.

Nickleby!

R13 he was also in an episode of Agatha Christie's Marple "The Moving Finger" about poison pen letters in Lymstock

James D'arcy was in that movie directed by Madonna, W.E.

Good film but came out after the brilliant stage show which couldn't be topped.

Charlie was adorably beautiful and lit up the screen as the angelic Nicholas. His death scene with Jamie Bell had the audience I saw it with sobbing. I teared up but then I'm a sucker Dickensian schmaltz.

Good God, it feels so dated. Loved the movie and its soundtrack (one of my first online purchases on Amazon).

I wanted to fuck those angel wings right off of him.

Great cast!

[quote] Excellent film and cast, with two actors I will watch in anything: Timothy Spall and Jamie Bell. The editing of the plot makes hard decisions, but how could it not, yet it's not bad at conveying something of the scope of the thing.

The 1980 stage production was the adaptation by which all Dickens adaptations since are judged. This film version was okay but never reached the fever-pitch of Robert Rees' half-mad performance, which caught Dickens' attempt to write a deeply flawed hero.

I teared up at the scene where Jamie Bell rimmed Nicholas.

Hunnam-a hunnam-a hunnam- a.......

James D'Arcy is probably most familiar here as one of the leads in S1 of Broadchurch.

Touched by the scene where Smike and Nicholas finally consummate their love.
