Ozias Midwinter

I've just written to Johnny Depp, as you do, to suggest that if ever a character would "Suit you sir" that Character Would be the dark and mysterious Ozias Midwinter from the Wilkie Collins novel Armadale.
If I get a reply I'll let you know.

So, you've actually done it! I'd love to read what you wrote. Do hope you get a reply. He would be such perfect casting and it would make a wonderful film. I can just imagine us at the premier.

I'm not holding out much hope it's just that sometimes if you don't do something daft you don't do anything.

Well, I got a call from Johnny today and I just didn't have the heart to tell him that I can't find a soul to adapt it for him. Apparently he's read the book and has some idea that the relationship between him and Armadale could be the main thrust of the screen play. The trouble is Miss Gwilt is the catylist in all that and her story is a book in iteslf. What am I going to do? Do you think Peter Ackroyd would be worth a try?
