Pacific Palisades resident Jennifer Garner is nearly ready to step into the shoes of an iconic elderly character, Miss Marple from Agatha Christie’s crime novels.
Since Deadline first revealed the casting choice by Disney’s production team to rejuvenate a role tailor-made for an older woman, the blowback on social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook has been swift and harsh, with posters condemning the idea of reinventing Miss Marple as a thirty-something amateur sleuth.
Christie biographer Laura Thompson told Deadline.com that the mystery writer “would not have been happy with Disney’s desire to mess with tradition.”
In several films in the early 1960s the role of Miss Marple was played by Margaret Rutherford, who was in her 70s at the time.
