Casting will be Murder (Movie To Be Made About Greenwich Murder Case)

Now that they have an ending (Guilty), filming begins in New Zealand next month on ``Murder in Greenwich,'' Los Angeles police detective Mark Fuhrman's book about the murder of 15-year-old Martha Moxley.

Casting is not yet complete for the USA movie adaptation of the best-selling book, which Fuhrman will help produce. But we hear they are seeking a fortysomething actor ``lean and muscular with piercing eyes'' to play the O. J. Simpson-case detective. Oh, my.

We can only assume they are seeking the opposite for the role of convicted murderer Michael Skakel.

Now that they have an ending (Guilty), filming begins in New Zealand next month on ``Murder in Greenwich''...

Huh? Why do they film a movie that takes place in Greenwich, CT in New Zealand???? Anyway, who do you think will play Michael Skakel, Teddy, Ethel, etc.?

Whatever they film, the Kennedy family will emerge as 1. Victims 2.Heros

Probably because unions, in non-Right to Work States, make it too expensive to make a movie. More and more, movies are being made in less labor-friendly (read labor-extortionist) states or countries.

BTW, that's exactly the reason why most manufacturing jobs have left the country.

If Chris Farley were still alive, he would be a good casting choice for portraying Michael Skakel.

[Kermit]

If Sidney Greenstreet were alive, he'd be good casting for Michael Skakel or Teddy Kennedy.

How about a screen test for Gerald Nadler as Michael Skakel?

A message from Jim Robinson regarding the fundraiser.

How about James Woods as Mark Fuhrman? They'll have to work with his hair to make it look right, but he's a great actor. Alec Baldwin would be good in the role too, but there's no way I'm paying to see him!

[Wild Irish Rogue]

I would cast Beau Bridges as Skakel. Clinton as Ted Kennedy.

Hey everyone. I'd just like to say, i got to be there in New Zealand during filming and I played a small role in Murder in Greenwich. It was very well casted and I enjoyed becoming friends with the cast and now staying in touch with them as we're back in America. We filmed at amazingly beautiful locations. I look forward to watching it on channel USA November 15th at 8.
