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