What are some film roles Miranda Richardson wasn't offered, but you think she'd be good in?
Like, I think she'd make a good Morticia Adams in one of the Adams Family movies. Just thinking, and thought I'd share.

Before I knew she'd been asked to play Rita Skeeter in HP, I thought she'd be really good as Bellatrix Lestrange (though I'm sure Helena Bonham Carter will do a great job), and I'd absolutely love it if she was ever in Doctor Who (not sure if that's likely, though).

Ah yes, I'd been thinking of Bellatrix too *firmly denies all Mab-associations*
Umm ... I think her playing Viviane in Mists of Avalon would have been cool, but she probably wouldn't have wanted to, what with this whole LotL/twice/typecasting stuff ...

True- I was reading that quite recently, and I thought of her possibly playing Morgause, but again, she might not want to do the whole "Arthurian-legends" thing again.

Speaking of Morgause ... Joan Allen so reminded me of Miranda in that part ...

JUST MY PERSONAL OPTIONS: 0."CHOCOLAT "JULIETTE BINOCHE S ROLE (VIANE) PERFECT FOR MIRANDA A GREAT LEADING ROLE. 1."BEWITCHED THE MOVIE" WAS A FIASCO.THE 60 S TV SERIES IS AMAZING ANYWAY. MIRANDA RICHARDSON AS "ENDORA"(AGNES MOOREHEAD IN THE 60 S TV SERIES WAS TERRIFIC)WE CAN EQUAL TALENT. -Shirley MacLaine DID HER BEST BUT WAS A BIG "NO NO" AS ENDORA" 2.THE WHITE COUNTESS/2005 NATASHA RICHARDSON & RALPH FIENNES. THE PART OF NATASHA WOULD HAVE BEEN EVER GREATER WITH THE MIRANDA AMAZING CLASS AND SENSIBLE TOUCH. 3.GALADRIEL THE LORD OF THE RINGS: CATE BLANCHETT WAS OK..BUT FOR MAGICAL PERFORMANCES AND CHARMING BEAUTY.MIRANDA WOULD HAVE BEEN JUST DELICIOUS. 4.THE OTHERS:NICOLE KIDMAN S ROLE (GRACE) JUST PERFECT FOR A PERSONALITY LIKE MANDA. 5.NARNIA:THE WHITE WITCH JADIS. A GREAT IMPROVEMENT FOR AN AVERAGE MOVIE.(IT WAS OFFERED TO HER WE KNOW) 6.CARRIE 70s : PIPER LAURIE Carrie s mother ,MARGARET WHITE OUTSTANDING ROLE OSCAR NOMINEE. JUST A DREAM MIRANDA WAS TOO YOUNG.MAYBE THE CARRIE ROLE AT THAT TIME...YEAP! 7.IN THE EARLY 80 S SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN A FANTASTIC AND CLASSY "MADAME BOVARY". .

I have always pictured Miranda as Morgause since the first time I read the books! I think she really posses the Morgause's kind of beauty and she could perform her wonderfully! Apart from that, I always wanted to see Miranda as Lady Macbeth, I don't know if this thread is only for roles in movies, but I think she would be terrific in it!

MIRANDA RICHARDSON AS "ENDORA"(AGNES MOOREHEAD IN THE 60 S TV SERIES WAS TERRIFIC)WE CAN EQUAL TALENT. -Shirley MacLaine DID HER BEST BUT WAS A BIG "NO NO" AS ENDORA" I love Bewitched too (Agnes Moorehead - legend!). Miranda would make a good Endora, but not in that movie because she's too young. I liked Shirley MacLaine though. I think Miranda should have been one of the leads in The Hours. I think I'd have liked her to play Julianne Moore's part. I didn't like Meryl Streep's character much and I was very impressed with Nicole Kidman in that one. I think I've mentioned this before, but I think Miranda would be excellent as Elizabeth in the play The Crucible. There are a few Shakespearian roles I'd like to see Miranda play. I think she'd be an excellent Gertrude in Hamlet and a very good Lady MacBeth. There are loads more that I can't think of right now.

LOL, I can't see her as Viviane, but she would have made a KA Morgause.
And the person I see her as...has anyone here read the book Heir Apparent? I think she would so rock as Queen Andreanna.

I was thinking, if they made a remake of Bonnie and Clyde, do you think Miranda would make a good Bonnie Parker? I love their story, and it would be so cool to see her in it. I can see her as Smanatha in Bewitched. Sad though, I'm so how of the Harry Potter loop, I've only seen the one with Rita in it! don't hit me.
