Thanks for posting that Poetswan. This film should easily be ready for showing when the next fall film festival circuit begins in 2017. I'm very curious as to how EM has adapted it for the screen.

Just briefly skimming over it I notice there is voice-over, which is unfortunate. It's also a first draft so perhaps it has changed. -

I personally wouldn't call the voice-over ''unfortunate''; necessary for the flashbacks, etc. I think Billy Howle (Edward) will do the voice-over. I know the producers and the director were working on the script before production began, and I think McEwan said he added some extra scenes too.

Voiceovers are too often an easy way out of a narrative conundrum. But I just went back and looked over it again a little more carefully.
As far as I can tell, the only voice over16d0 is at the very end and only a few sentences. It's also not Billy Howle, just a generic voice.
I also noticed Florence definitely plays the violin in at least one scene in Wigmore Hall in London. That should be fun.
