Thanks, Amy,
Since this Anne 4 is going to be about a very young Anne ... I wonder
if Sullivan would consider using actors from some of his TV series?
Actors who have not already been in any of the Anne movies.
I know I would love to see Mickey play a part in the new Anne film. Not
Gus, because Gus would not have been born yet, but another male
character. And I know Mickey would be interested because he posted this
on my My Space page after I mentioned the Anne 4 movie and that I would
like to see him in it. LOL.
