Hello Bille, and, Fred Spektor
Danes ripe to win Oscars yourself: possibly as, Director of:
"Divine Obsession", an exciting, intimate epic that breaks the genre mold
with intimacy, balance of action and emotion, and great women's roles. Consider
(proposed/ suggested cast)
Connie Nielsen to star as Charlemagne's third wife, Queen Gizela.
Viggo Mortensen to star as Charlemagne! (Jenny Rawlings has the script at CAA)
Scarlett Johansson as Constance, the teenage scholar (supporting)
Sean Connery (supporting) as Alcuin, the monk, teacher
DIVINE OBSESSION
"To plunder, to slaughter, to steal these things they misname Empire;
and where they make a wasteland, they call it peace."
Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown
Never trust your honor to another without the pawn to his.
