Map of Love
"Gwyneth Paltrow has been cycling around Cambridge and lying supine in a punt for a biopic of American poet Sylvia Plath (with Daniel Craig as Ted Hughes). According to the head of BBC films, David Thompson, Paltrow "has the perfect physical aspects" to play Plath, as well as "the right sort of fragility and vulnerability". He also promised the film would avoid "Hollywood schmaltz". Let's hope the same is true of a movie about Dylan Thomas that begins filming in the spring. Dougray Scott has started to put on weight for the part, but would prefer to get the voice right and the "attitude", rather than lean too heavily on the make-up department". - source Guardian 12/7/02
