I just heard that Jonathan Rhys-Myers is playing Henry VIII in a new cable series.

Um. ...?

There's Jonathan Rhys-Myers ...

... and then there's Henry VIII.

??!!?!?

I don't know, I've only seen him in Gormenghast (which leads me to think 'hmm, Henry VIII, Steerpike got his wish...') but I heard he's supposed to be playing Schmendrick the Magician in the much-mentioned-but-otherwise-imaginary live action remake of The Last Unicorn

WOW! Really? I actually heard the remake mentioned, but I didn't hear for sure that he would be in it. I was hearing something about Lee Ingleby starring in it, or was that just wishful thinking? That would be very interesting if they actually DO make it, although it's been ages since I last saw 'The Last Unicorn'. I think I was hoping it would eventually become available in widescreen DVD. I wonder if there's an imdb page for the remake...
