Was Uma Thurman really the filmmakers' first choice? Wasn't Elizabeth Hurley considered for the part, or was that just a rumour?

I don't think Hurley was offered the role. But, as this article shows http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,286952,00.html some other names have been suggested (Drew Barrymore, Madeleine Stowe).

It's like the Bond role. A lot of people are suggsted, considered approached... it doesn't mean they were offered these roles. I heard Sharon Stone was suggested too.

I was speaking to a woman the other night at the theatre who said E. Hurley is a a friend of hers and was up for the part. I said to her with all due respect she's a beautiful woman but no actress and that her voice lacks authority for Emma Peel.

I don't think Liz Hurley would've been right for the part either. But in my opinion she might have made a better Emma Peel than Uma Thurman...

There were loads of rumoured names flying around before the film, Nicole Kidman being one of them.

Hurley at least wouldn't have been hampered by trying to adopt an English accent.

I do think that "Dr. Emma Peel" was so badly written anyway, I doubt any actor could have made it work.

"Dr. Emma Peel"

What a load of b*ll*cks that was. "You can call me Dr Peel/You can call me Mrs Peel..." what a confusing load of cack. It doesn't even make sense as a joke.

Truer words were never spoken.
