#FantasyCasting #RobertBParker's #Spenser, as I often do:
#DylanWalsh as Spenser
#GinaGershon as #SusanSilverman
#VingRhames as #Hawk
I cast Susan before Hawk b/c Susan is more relevant to Spenser's character. This is the element every Spenser #TV / #Movie project to date has gotten wrong. #MarciaGayHarden was excellently cast in the 1999-2001 A&E movies, but the plots gave her nothing to do - and Parker himself wrote those scripts.

@TimBondy, Lupica is taking over the Spenser series begun by Parker and continued by Ace Atkins for 10 books. Lupica has also done some Sunny Randall novels, and while he has come up with good stories, his style at times reminded me of a YA novel. Your review gives me hope. I really enjoyed Spenser. #Lupica #Spenser
I review the upcoming #RobertBParkersBrokenTrust, which sees #MikeLupica move to Parker's best-known character, #Spenser: https://chatterrific.blogspot.com/2023/04/robert-b-parkers-broken-trust-by-mike.html

#Literary example: #RobertBParker's #Hawk is originally an ex-boxer turned legbreaker opposed to #Spenser, an ex-boxer turned state cop and then P.I. Hawk was such an #Charismatic #Character that, from his second appearance onward, he's been Spenser's staunch ally.

I believe #MikeLupica got the #SunnyRandall job, his first Parker estate work, with sample pages. #AlisonGaylin wrote 20 sample pages and got the job to pick up Randall as Lupica moved on to #Spenser: https://chatterrific.blogspot.com/2022/01/the-future-of-robert-b-parkers-sunny.html

#AceAtkins won a competition to write #Spenser w/ 50 sample pages. The first #JesseStone continuation author, #MichaelBrandman, got that job b/c he'd worked on the #TomSelleck Jesse Stone #Movies. #RobertKnott likewise got the job to continue #RobertBParker's Cole & Hitch #Novels b/c he'd co-written the movie adaptation of #Appaloosa.

Please tell me #PeterBerg has scrapped plans for #SpenserConfidential2 and people besides Berg and #MarkWahlberg can try to make #Spenser movies.

He in the first flowre of my freshest age,
Betrothed me unto the onely haire
Of a most mighty king, most rich and sage;
Was never Prince so faithfull and so faire,
Was never Prince so meeke and debonaire;
But ere my hoped day of spousall shone,

And there beside of marble stone was built
An Altare, caru'd with cunning imagery,
On which true Christians bloud was often spilt,
And holy Martyrs often doen to dye,
With cruell malice and strong tyranny:

Should in love's gentle band combined be
But those whom Heaven did at first ordain,
And made out of one mould the more t' agree;
For all that like the beauty which they see,
Straight do not love; for love is not so light

For lovers' eyes more sharply sighted be
Than other men's, and in dear love's delight
See more than any other eyes can see,
Through mutual receipt of beam{"e}s bright,
Which carry privy message to the spright,

Presume to picture so divine a wight,
Or hope t' express her least perfection's part,
Whose beauty fills the heavens with her light,
And darks the earth with shadow of her sight?
Ah, gentle Muse, thou art too weak and faint

Of fowls so lovely, that they sure did deem
Them heavenly born, or to be that same pair
Which through the sky draw Venus' silver team;
For sure they did not seem
To be begot of any earthly seed,
But rather angels, or of angels' breed;
Edmund Spenser: Prothalamion
