Still hoping for a Versailles movie?

In a recent interview, Anna Brewster (who played Françoise-Athénaïs) said she can't imagine a Versailles reunion hitting the big screen. “I'd rather people go, ‘Oh, please! Please!’ than ‘I can't believe you did that. It was horrible.’”

Co-star Evan Williams (who played Chevalier de Lorraine) has also previously explained, “It would be terrible to do something and have it not be good,”. “It was so terrific ... If we did a Versailles movie and it sucked, then it would, you know, blemish it.”

On the subject of whether there could be a Versailles film, George Blagden stated : “I think it's a bit of a case of ‘the book is better than the movie’.”
