When thinking about casting the part of an elderly spinster from a small English village who solves crimes in her spare time, Jennifer Garner is not the first name that one would expect to come to mind.

But the glamorous 38-year-old Hollywood actress has just been announced to star in a Disney reboot about the much-loved heroine of Agatha Christie's novels.

The actress, best known for her roles as the catsuited superhero Elektra and in a slew of fluffy romantic comedies.

Slightly better, but she looks to robust. It needs someone who looks a tad frail.

Helen Mirren?

Judi Dench?

She could carry it off, though.  She'd be great if they were doing a spoof of Miss Marple.

I LOVE Joanna Lumley, but not in that way. 

Judi Dench would be good, I think.

Joanna's a deeper actress than she portrayed in AbFab. I think she's got the chops, but then again, so does Dame Judi.

hard to think of someone with a high enough profile, perhaps Maggie Smith?

Nah.

You need a British actress to play that part. Betty is just too American.

I agree with you about Joanna, but I think Judi just looks more the part for me.

Makeup goes a long way these days, and you just can't disguise hawt.  :drool:

Oh yeah, Maggie Smith.  HI5, bijou, you jewel, you nailed it!

As for Mrs. Benjamin Affleck, YOU are not worthy to fill Ms. Marple's shoes and Ms. Christie is rolling over in her grave as we speak.

Hollywood, in general, totally blows if you're looking for authenticity.  No offense, Chuck Norris, Gary Sinise, Hollywood NeoCon, et.al.

I certainly hope sane heads prevail.  Unless she has a HELL of a makeup artist, Mrs. Affleck doesn't belong in a role more suited to someone her mom's age.

Overblown fuggin rat.

Thank goodness, hope that's right. Perhaps there will be a rethink now Disney have seen the response to this.
