Sam Claflin on playing Edmond Dantes

This is a good endorsement! Boze mostly tweets about books and the decline of literacy. (Also corrects someone in the replies that it's not an American production.)

Another good The Count of Monte Cristo series video from PBS Masterpiece, this time concerning their filming locations.

So I've sang a million praises to this scene by now, if I ever stop talking about it, I'm dead etc; this is a shorter clip of it, just the end as he leaves. For some reason, seeing "I'm sorry about the earrings" on its own gets me more. Also, as he walks away, it seems like she says "Edmond"? Her lips move as if she was saying his name.

Pierre Niney is dark, he has dark hair and brown eyes and he looks good in black, and that's the colour he wears all throughout the film, since he becomes the count. The sunset makes a nice contrast. Sam Claflin, OTOH, is pale, with deep seas of green-blue eyes. That shade of blue (navy blue?) suits him the best. Therefore, sea and waves are good features for his poster (I also associate him with water).
