PS The thought of Tommy Cooper as the mad pork butcher has me in fits just thinking about it!

LOL some serious 'images' there.......Quite bizarre at times....... :/

Hello you all!

Well, Robbie Coltrane already appeared in "From Hell"...

I woudl disagree about Vanessa Redgrave as Liz!

But Julie Christie wouldn't be a bad choice for MJK!

All the best

Vanessa as Liz great !!! MJK thats a problem..... not Julie tho

Like the idea of Rowan Atkinson as Kozminski, can see him now.

Like the idea of Rowan Atkinson as Kozminski, can see him now.

But you need more suspects in this movie. I like Atkinson too but reckon he would be better as Ostrog & reckon you can fill most of the suspect cast from Bristish comedians (cue for the Blood Donor Sketch!) so being particularly depressed after the Man U result I jotted some down;

PAV - Mark LaMarr
Jo Barnett – Sid James
Neil Cream - ???
Monty Druitt – John Cleese (again)
Severin Klosowski (George Chapman) – Rory McGrath
Kosminski - ???
Maybrick - Leonard Rossiter
Hyam Hyams - Billy Connolly
Sickert - Michael Palin
Tumblety – Jimmy Edwards
Ostrog – Rowan Atkinson
Lewis Carroll - Jonathan Ross
James Kenneth Stephen – Tony Hancock
Frederick Deeming - Graham Chapman from the pythons
Jill the Ripper – Eddie Izzard

[Phil Carter]

If I were to pick a perfect Tumblety... it has to be Danny Kaye.

If Anthony Hopkins is going to play Jack the Ripper, is there going to be a scene where we see him eat part of Kathy's kidney...with some fava beans and a nice Chianti? <hissing sound>

[j.r-ahde]

Hello you all!

Just being curious;

Since there are loads of comedians here, so;

Which roles to Chico, Harpo and Groucho?!

All the best
Jukka

[Phil Carter]

A few more....

Danny La Rue....Pearly Poll
Stephen Fry....Walter Sickert
Beryl Reid.....Emma Smith
Daniel Radcliffe....Morganstone
John McEnroe.....Fleming (wonder if anyone will spot that little teaser...)
Michael Schumacher....Netley
Peter Ustinov....Konalov/Pedachenko
Roger Moore....PAV

[DVV]

Hi Phil,

Yes, I did spot it...
Fleming was Mac partner en double.
Have to remind you, though, that Mac Enroe, as a left handed, cannot play the Ripper...!

Amitiés,
David

[Phil Carter]

hahahaha! well spotted on both counts..LOL

But as we need someone put away for 28 years afterwards, he has to be pretty mad....

Got it....

Diego Maradona... Fleming

(The hand of God killed Kelly...he didnt)

[DVV]

Maradona ?
Not bad, Phil. We need a real badman for Joe.
What about Cantona ?
Or Wayne Rooney ?

Amitiés,
David

I was going to put Eric Cantona, but he only scissor kicks innocent spectators and talks of sea gulls following boats...LOL

Then again...Vinnie Jones?
