I have this book. It's one of my favorites. John of Gaunt and Katherine are my ancestors, so I sort of feel a personal interest. I'd love to see a movie made about them!

kate winslet..as Katherine...absolutley...but I dont agree with any of the possible John, Duke of Lancaster except , maybe, Ralph Feinnes..is it?? this part has to be a hot, hot dude.( I am not a great speller)...sorry.. I read "Katherine" about every 2 years or so..Blanche, yeah Gweneth Paltro..or maybe Sophie would be perfect but she'd have to go blonde for the part....i wish they would make a movie, its a wonderful love story!

John of Gaunt is 31 and Katherine is 20 when they finally consummate their love half way through the novel. I think Ramola Garai is the best suggestion in the bunch and could pass for 15 (I recently saw her in some horribly depressing romance movie and she made a very convincing 16 year old). Ray Stevenson is too handsome to be Hugh - much as I like the look of him. Richard Armitage might possibly pull off John with good maekup and hair artist.

Drew Barrymore just as she was in Ever After, except with red hair. Perfect for Katherine. She has the straight nose and the cleft chin. Gray eyes. John of Gaunt, he would need to be very tall with dark features... Leonardo Dicaprio is pretty much the opposite.

I think Kate Winslet is too old, now... But she WOULD have been magnificent 10 years ago. And let's not get carried away by Leo. He's great, but not for this.

You have got to be kidding??? Selma Hayek as Constanza??? If Constanza would have looked like that in the book John might have forgotten all about Katherine. Constanza was basically a child bride not the HOT number that Hayek is. And I HAVE to ask---Why not Patrick Stewart (Captain Picard of Star Trek fame) as John??? Think about it....Comment if you dare.........
