shull Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 (edited) Great news. I love it https://www.ianrankin.net/plans-afoot-new-rebus-tv-adaptation/ Hope Ken Stott is used as the main man again. Tremendous in the role as Rebus. John Hannah was poor Edited May 9, 2017 by shull Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud the Baker Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 Love the books! I think John Hannah is a good actor but he was definitely too young when he played Rebus although he made a better go of it than I expected. His company part-financed the first couple of series and he didn't want to play Rebus himself but was forced too in order to get the rest of the money for production.. Stott fitted the role well but that was 10 years ago - I think he'd be a bit old now. Iain Glen would be a good choice but he's played a similar role as a "troubled" Irish cop in the Jack Taylor series. I be happy to see John Hannah get another go now he's the right age.

IMO John Hannah is one of the worst actors this country has ever produced. Gary Lewis is the best, he would excel in the role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guinness Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 Ken Stott was in one of those Scandanavian things recently . He was enormous. Rebus is ex Military police and should be played by a larger actor. Like Jack Reacher being played by Tom Cruise . just silly. In the books Reacher is 6 4.Think Rebus is meant to be about 6 2.

Puts Iain Glen head & shoulders above at least some of the other candidates! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markgilson80 Posted May 19, 2022 Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 Thanks for this article. It was nice to see that you saved these highlights because sometimes you want to go back to what you have already seen. Although some may have missed this as a summary for them. I like to watch them on TV and when I connected a new TV to myself, the picture became much better and stopped slowing down. It's good that my friend advised me to read the reviews on truconnect before I installed a new TV for myself after moving to a new house. I hope this will be useful for you.
