"we are doing history in a completely different way." AAUGGH! Talk about revisionism! Lousy scholarship and bad costumes. Makes me want to go to the movies... oh yes... they will get my $10.00 on the Twelfth of Never.

The improvisation process should bring a freshness and modernity to the production, as each actor is able to interpret their own role rather than the script presenting one writer's view of history.' De -----Original Message----- As for the dresses (obligatory costume content) in the photoshoot, is it possible that this is a promo shot and they will use real costumes later for the actual film? I have no idea as to the genesis of these photos, and was hoping they might be publicity stills, rather than screen captures from the film itself. I think these costumes are more than cheesy, they scream Halloween to me. Nice tidy well made Halloween, but Halloween nonetheless. I was actually shocked at the quality, as I was expecting something more akin to PBS in detail and execution. The gold braid on the French hoods looks really cheap and the whole overall effect is so distracting to me I'm not sure I could get into the film at all. I love both actresses in general, although more a fan of Portman's body of work at this point. Does anyone know when this film is slated to be released? angela +++++ Angela F.
