Who will be cast in Thursday murder club

[thinkponk48]

I think vinnie jones would make an amazing Ron. And Julie walters for Joan

Carolyn Martyns ( she was the head spook lady in killing eve ) would make a great Elizabeth

I'd like to see Maureen Lipman and Bill Nighy in it.

Bill Nighy would be good too

Great shout!

Yes!!

Lesley Manville as Joyce
Stephanie Cole or Helen Mirren as Elizabeth.
sadly no longer with us, but I always imagine Warren Clark as Ron, so someone like him!

Just seen Penelope Wilton suggested - superb!

And Harriet Walter would be a fab Elizabeth.!

Could Kim Bodnia be Ron? Maybe too young.

Fiona Shaw as Elizabeth too

Yes! Can we have "Beardy Russian" from Homeland as Bogdan? Nigel Havers as Mark Waghorn?

my comprehensive list!

Elizabeth - Shelia Hancock - classy and elegant but may kill you

Joyce is Una Stubbs - mrs Hudson in Sherlock!

Ibrahim - Om Puri I can’t unsee it

Ron - Ray winston obviously

Donna - Simona brown! Fierce and gorgeous like Donna!

Bogdan - he’s Lincoln burrows from prison break even though he’s American I just only see him as that actor

Chris - for some reason I picture him as jools holland but he just isn’t an actor

So Adrian Dunbar! Orrrr
Martin freeman maybe?

Stephen - Stephen fry! Or bill Nigh

Connie Johnson (book 2) - is Sheridan smith!

Sue Reardon book2 - Fiona shaw

Fiona clemence book 3- Emilia Fox

Mike waghorn - pierce brosnan

Hubba hubba

Another vote for Stephanie Cole. I’d love that!

I think Art Malik is too tall and thin I picture Ibrahim as shorter and cuddlier so I’m thinking Om puri!

Except Om Puri is no longer with us

Letitia Wright for Donna
Helen Mirren for Elizabeth
Penelope wilton for Joyce
Ray Winstone for Ron
Ben Kingsley for Ibrahim
Robert graves for Chris
Bogdan?

Penelope Wilton 200% Joyce.
Approve of Jeff Goldblum too.
I see Elizabeth as more elegant than some of the suggestions. Penelope Keith or Anglela Rippon would work better for me.
Ron - David Essex. Pretty Please David Essex.
Although I would accept Alexei Sayle.

Bill Nighy could be Stephen. Robert Glennister for Chris.

Yes to Penelope Wilton ( Joyce) and Stephanie Cole (Elizabeth.)

a vote for Omid Dijalli as Ibrahim and Jim Broadbent as Ron
Maybe Denis Waterman as Ian Ventam . Would Orlando Bloom be too expensive as Bogdan?
Tom Courtney as Bernard.

Rupert Graves. Doh.

I saw Joanna lumley as Elizabeth and John head as Ron

Bogdan- Goran Visnjic from ER days of old.

Does it say in the book that Bogdan is not THAT good looking? In which case Goran V is out. As is Beardy Russian. But I'd love to see either or both of them again and am happy to suspend disbelief in order for that to happen. Richard O said they would cast young so no actors died before they had filmed all 4 films. I might be paraphrasing.

The Swedish- Lebanese actor Fares Fares is who l picture as Bogdan when listening to the audio books. Although sadly l think he may be slightly too old for the role now. Shame! There must be a suitable Polish actor out there.

I think bogdan needs to be be early 30s
