<DIV><FONT size=4><STRONG><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>Henceforth, "Bargain

<DIV><FONT size=4><STRONG><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>However, this will only
apply to the <U>"FIRST SHOWS"</U> on Fri, Sat & Sun!<BR>So, we have rolled

<DIV><FONT size=4><STRONG><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>"the other guys" before
we reduced them!) but we have <U>shortened</U> the<BR>window for these

said there, right?)</EM> and <FONT size=4>RACHEL McADAMS</FONT> <EM>(a true
screen talent who doesn't take just</EM> <EM>"any" role),</EM> you have an
incredible story that I first saw in the original BBC miniseries from 2003
just a month or so ago.<BR>This labyrinthine story starts out very simple, and
then gets deeper and deeper, pulling you right in with it all the way.<BR>I am
very interested in how the story will adapt to an American setting from the
original British one, and, how a 6 hour BBC miniseries storyline was pared
down for this to a little over 2
hours!</FONT></FONT></STRONG></FONT></FONT></STRONG></FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>
