Ok, so speculatively Rufus took Danny Huston's part in Nancy and yet they are both in this project? Interesting!!

lol! I thought the same thing... but maybe Rufus has a later start date so he has time to squeeze in this picture... maybe they worked a deal... At any rate, I think Alexander Hamilton is a great role. He was so fiery and colourful. Now this I can really sink my teeth into-- 7 parts of Rufus... if I had a fangirl heart it would be fluttering right now.  |

Alexander Hamilton! That could be a meaty role for Rufus, depending on how it's written. And filming in Williamsburg will be a wonderful location. What a great surprise!

Maxx, you can just get cable for a month - basic cable includes HBO.
He got Tom Hanks - I was wishing Ron Howard but are quite capable of recognizing his talents. Hopefully this will get him into comedic, contemporary roles.

;D that Nancy movie sounds weird - I hope he's only doing this one - pays to shmooze with Tom Hanks ;D Wouldn't explain what he's doing in Saskatchewan. It's not exactly a stop for the jet set... here's a link to the wiki for Hamilton: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_hamiltonCould be a really interesting role... well, it will be with Rufus playing it no matter what is on the paper but there is potential for it even to be written as an interesting role. I've spent the morning trying to envision Rufus in a powdered wig. Photoshop anyone? |

I wonder if they'll include the Hamilton/Burr duel? It could be a tearjerker too!  For clarity's sake, I'm changing the topic titles. |
