:) I know! I adore her, though.

Me too, and I thought she was awesome as Ms. Marple. Joan Hixon still embodied the character even better, imo.

Yup, and all the Poirot books, too.

I'm betting RA's vote for Miss Marple would be Megan Fox.

[Scout]

Yep.

I'm not a Megan Fox fan. I don't know who Miss Marple is, but I'm sure Anne Hathaway would be lovely.

why fix what is not broken? why make Miss Marple young and a member of another acronymic organization? the character as written is perfectly fine? women of a certain age are non-threatening and darn near invisible: perfect detectives. Maybe if they set it in early 20th century England before the character became famous: show how she developed her skills might work. But not the idea I read about.

Because that's what Hollywood does, it remakes and remakes, and remakes again. There's a paucity of fresh, original ideas, so studios make Superman and Godzilla and Wonder Woman ten times, and then they make their sequels and III, IV, V etc. Something people are already familiar with is less of a gamble.

I like pandas. ;)

actually, that might be better: 14 and a panda.
