This week’s Guide is a guest post from the great Lucinda Everett, on the actors and directors who can’t keep away from each other. I’ll be back next week. – Gwilym
I’m all for a reunion. Oasis tour? If my “refresh page” finger hadn’t let me down, then absolutely. Reality TV cast reunions after a season of backstabbing? Oh yes – bring on the awkwardness. But there’s one version of getting the band back together I’m not so sold on: film directors repeatedly casting the same actors. Something about it feels very high school cafeteria, where cool kids Tim Burton, Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter glare from their regular table at the tribeless actors shuffling to the toilet to eat lunch alone.
