Benedict Cumberbatch would make an excellent Levin. Whilst I was queuing for Frankenstein tickets at the National Theatre, I was reading Anna Karenina and that thought instantly struck me. So BC actually being cast in Anna Karenina is delightful news (and very intuitive of me too, haha)!

I am certain Mr. Cumberbatch chooses his roles for the character, the director and the scope of the film, (the stage, tv, radio) regardless if it\’s a US or UK production, right now he can choose anything he wants – as the world is his well-deserved oyster – If I could give him any advice, (by way of Richard Burton) – never act for the money but as the son of two fabulous actors, he probably knows this already.

Of course, Levin knew Kitty when she was a little girl, too.

The cast is very predictable. You can virtually imagine how they\’ll play the roles. McAvoy shouldnt be in this and not fussed on Law either. Hell why didnt Wright just put in Romola Garai instead of Kelly and be done with it and call it Atonement 2

Must be odd for actors who act with child actresses only to then have to play love scenes with them a few years later.

Kitty is 18. Saorise looks 18…. what\’s the problem.

I\’d rather Cumberbatch took some lead roles in US films and ditched playing minor spear carrying roles in UK films. They maybe interesting minor roles but he\’s a leading man actor and not a supporting actor. By all means take occasional supporting roles if the character is interesting but its been one supporting role after another for years. His new fame due to Sherlock and Frankenstein should be helping him get bigger roles.

Would be creepy seeing McAvoy with the little girl in Atonement. Even if she is grown up now. Cumberbatch would make a better Levin.

I;d have liked Cumberbatch to play Levin. Is McAvoy always going to get the jucier roles over him! Not fair. Cumberbatch is a better actor.

I\’m more excited about Benedict Cumberbatch. They should have given him Jude Law\’s role.

Jude Law should be Karenin!

This sounds AMAZING, but am I the only one who feels a little iffy about the possibility of Ronan and McAvoy playing lovers? Not because of their previous roles in Atonement, but because she is only soon-to-be 17 after all?

The cast is amazing! Cumberbatch and Macdonald are probably playing Oblonsky and Dolly!

Ronan as Kitty and McAvoy as Levin would be amazing.
