New film version of the classic novel by William Makepeace Thackeray centers on Rebecca (Becky) Sharp. Born into the lower class, Becky can rely only on her wit, guile, and sexuality as she makes her way up through London society circa 1820. |
Brilliant casting as an actual, real life firecracker gets to play one of the greatest little firecrackers in English Literature. If Reese nails the accent (which I'm sure she'll breeze), this could be great stuff! The usual fantastic cast of supporting Brit actors bode well. Go Becky. |
