In Reply to: What was Forman's take on casting? posted by mr grits on October 27, 2004 at 13:46:32:
It was such a famous play, in the West End & Broadway, with famous British actors (e.g. Ian McKellen, among others), that Forman wanted a fresh take on the material and unknown actors, without any baggage from the stage productions.He specifically wanted to avoid a typical Hollywood period film stocked with famous British thespians. He felt American actors would impart a certain energy and honesty to the film version that was intrinsic to his own vision of the material.
Tom Hulce was maybe a little fresher and more energetic than some poepl liked.
As good as F. Murray Abraham is in Amadeus, I would've loved to have seen Ian McKellen in it - he was fabulous as Salieri on stage.
