Insiders say the 60-year-old remains intrigued by two Royal stories which he might yet decide he wants to tell: the abdication of Edward VIII in 1936, to marry divorcee Wallis Simpson; and the tale of Queen Mary, wife of George V. Miller said he asked her to audition by reading a classic scene from the Oscar-winning film Network, in which anchor Howard Beale (Peter Finch) famously declares: 'I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take this any more!' Starring Rufus Sewell, Olivia Williams, Indira Varma (as the hack) and Shirley Henderson, the action unfolds at a Hampstead dinner party where one of the guests ends up dead, and everyone is mostly worried about how this might affect the price of their house, and nobody can work out if they are going to eat pudding.
