Maybe...one of my colleagues who normally does it will be 7 months pregnant so I've out my name in the hat for the job.

Yes.... You never know. He does like RHCP doesn't he??

My dream is that they release a double disc of Frankenstein so that you can have both actors in both roles.

I wouldn't hold your breath.

Oh, I'm not BB. But a girl can't help but dream.

Opening night might be 6 August 2015. But this is not official.

So the theatre season starts pretty early in London, doesn't it? In Germany it's usually around the end of August.

I can't help wonder if he'll visit Denmark to prepare for the role... He probably wont. But a girl can dream.

Oh God Yes! That would be ... indescribable.
And "Rosenkrantz..." as well ... and a summer weekend with "Hamlet" and some nice members of this forum ... and meeting Benedict in person ... and ... still have to read Hamlet but there wouldn't be a nice little role for Mark as well?
Oh ladies I am carried away by my dreams.

It's going to be amazing gently! I have a VERY good feeling for all of it ;))

I can't wait for tickets to go on sale!!
All we need now is some big Movie news for him! :D

But gently, as far as I know "Rosencrantz..." is just that tiny scene you already have on DVD... they especially prepared this for that evening.
There'd be lots of roles for lots of actors from "Sherlock" - and some others. Yesterday my boyfriend said that it would be really funny if they'd cast Martin Freeman and Tom Hiddleston to play Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, and I couldn't believe my ears. I mean, he's right, it would be soooo funny, but the roles just are too tiny and anyway... usually I am the one who has such crazy ideas!
The moment those tickets go on sale, the fandom will go absolutely crazy... as if the fandom wasn't crazy enough already...

Well, if they made Mark look a bit older (or Benedict a bit younger) he might make a fine Claudius.
I would love Benedict to play the whole Rosencrantz and Guildenstern one day. This one scene was awesome.

Oh yes, absolutely! The whole idea of the play is great, and he'd certainly be a perfect Rosencrantz...!

Now we are getting really greedy.

**Posted by SolarSystem** March 23, 2014 11:07 am

Oh no, greedy... we just care for his career!

**Posted by gently69** March 23, 2014 11:07 am

Oh, it only was this tiny scene so far. Rosenkrantz ... ok.

**Posted by SusiGo** March 23, 2014 11:11 am

It was so lovely to see him in such a different part - funy and naive. Maybe we should address a petition and start collecting signatures.

**Posted by SolarSystem** March 23, 2014 11:17 am

Where can I sign, Susi?
And yes, it's amazing how incredible he can be even in such a tiny scene. I can watch it over and over and over again.
