Natalie Dormer as Vivien Leigh

Natalie Dormer is getting ready to paint Hollywood scarlet.

Tom Hiddleston believably has the gravitas and acting background to portray a man of Olivier’s ilk.

Both men are also known for their mellifluous voices.

To be or not to be?

Frankly, my dear, this is the perfect choice.

Who can ooze sensuality, aggression, and raw sexual attraction like Brando?

And though multiple screenwriters and directors worked on the film, the result was largely Selnick’s vision.

We’re confident Redmayne would deliver a pitch-perfect Leslie Howard.

Cornish always brings a raw, vulnerability to her roles that could allow her to shine in this part.

Not to mention, the two both have an undeniable cool factor.
