According to advice from AI, by way of a casting matrix, as
to the role
of 'Victor
von Woolfe' - Richard Armitage, James D'arcy, Tom Ellis, Jack Davenport, Andrew Lincoln, Joe Anderson, Tom Hardy, Matthew Goode, Joel Edgerton, Jason Clarke, Sullivan Stapleton,
could portray Victor aged 50ish. While,
Mark Strong, Clive Owen, Damian Lewis, James Purefoy, Rufus Sewell, Hugo Weaving,
Richard Roxborough Bryan Brown, Guy Pearce, Ben Mendelsohn,
and Peter Mullan - might all be suitable to play Victor von
Woolfe as a 70 year old - in Muzzled
and Victor
Unchained, docudramas based on real events, involving
corruption in the system, the frame up of a whistle blowing
campaigner, and subsequent fight to survive prison and clear
his name, finally involving the CCRC and European Court of
Human Rights (ECtHR). With a referral to the International
Covenant for Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). These are all respected actors, none
of which were approached as to the role by any company, but
were all mentioned in AI
searches of the web as potential
players, should the series go from script to silver
screen, or streaming. The same applies to any production companies AI
searches may have mentioned. AI
being a modern tool, that does a lot of the ground work, but
ultimately cannot replace that human touch for decisions as
to film
projects, or the choices and preferences of investing angels.
And of course, actors have the final say, in accepting or
declining any role.
