I am a huge fan of Thomas Wolfe and his brilliant first novel "Look Homeward Angel" which was published in 1929 when Wolfe was 29. I loved this novel so much that I made a trip to Ashville, North Carolina to see his mother's boarding house which is now a historical site dedicated by his family after their mother's death to commemorate his life and work. After reading his novels, studying his life and having a walking tour discussion with the museum's director I regret to say that in my opinion Jude Law is a complete miscast to portray Thomas Wolfe. Wolfe was a bigger than life giant of a man with a huge appetite for life which I do not think Mr. Law will be able to capture on film. Perhaps a better choice to play Wolfe would have been Leonardo DiCaprio, who looks a little like Wolfe and is much more physically correct not to mention his obvious acting talent.

This is disastrous casting….I am so disappointed. They should have gone with an unknown instead of Jude Law: he's short, aging badly and not that great an actor. Thomas Wolfe was 6'6" tall and his height completely defined him. Besides, Wolfe was 28 when he started working with Perkins. It's not going to work folks, I'm very sad to say. Remember "Cold Mountain"!
