A British producer might be the trick, but it's difficult to find them from here!Īs to casting, that changes and really depends on who is available at the time. In the meantime, if any occasion presents itself, please pitch the novel and this website. We are constantly pitching the script and hope to get the right person interested one of these days. We envy you-for that AND having corresponded with Anya Seton! Very cool! We hope that more fans find our site.
Marla and I are both in Canada and haven't had the opportunity to travel to the GREEN DARKNESS locations.
All power to you both! I am wondering if, like me, you have any casting preferences.? She also told me her sign was Aquarius as I was an astrology nut back then (though no longer!) - information readily available online now but obviously not back then.Īnyway, I was heartened to come across your blog and discover your own acquisition of the rights with a view to writing your own screenplay. She did not comment on my suggestion that Anthony Browne be played by our late Oliver Reed (not sure why I saw him in the role but I definitely did!). Anyway, she thanked me graciously for writing and said in response to my question that the film rights were currently under discussion. It seems by then she was in ill-health as the signature on the letter was quite shaky and, rather quirkily, in purple felt tip! She also signed herself Anya Seton Chase despite the long-standing divorce.
A local at Ightham remembered Seton visiting for research purposes back in the late '60s, and I was both surprised and chuffed to get a reply from the lady herself shortly after receipt of my letter despite her being over 80 at the time. You may find it interesting that I actually wrote to Anya Seton back in about 1985, having visited both Cowdray and Ightham Mote as a result of the story (easy for me, being a resident Brit). In fact I would say it probably is my favourite book for a variety of reasons, most of which you will appreciate.
I first read this novel back in the mid-'70s as a youngster and have revisited it many times over the decades.
