Casting call for Mr. Hopkins

We saw the new mystery-thriller Fracture last night. It's a dark, dark story with a delightful dash of humor, something I love. Everyone's terrific in this movie: Ryan Gosling, the great Anthony Hopkins, and (yummy) Rosamund Pike.

Anyway, as I watched the film, I thought, what an absolutely wonderful foil Hopkins would have made for Peter Falk's Columbo. Perfect. But alas... (Unless, that is, Falk decides to re-reprise the detective role sometime down the line.)
