>LOVE the story. I'm voting for Judi Dench and Dame Maggie Smith too. Put Dolly Parton in as a librarian. She's a whole lot smarter than she first appears....that lady is!

>I was thinking more along the lines of Dames Maggie Smith and Judi Dench as the nuns. The librarians would have to be pretty hip in contrast. Anthony Stewart Head is hot stuff, so he can stay. Maybe Parker Posey since she did such a good job in "Party Girl".
