The cast for All the King's Men fills out, with Patricia Clarkson replacing Meryl Streep as Sadie, Anthony Hopkins taking on Judge Irwin, and James Gandolfini portraying Tiny Duffy, Willie's most grotesque sycophant. Hmmm...I like Clarkson as Sadie, but Hopkins screams stunt casting, and (as with Streep earlier) I'm not sure Gandolfini makes sense given that Sean Penn's playing Willie. I'd love to see a well-done remake of All the King's Men, one of my favorite novels, but I fear this project may fast be veering into Cold Mountain "Miramax All-Stars" territory.
