A HARD AHAB-IT TO BREAK Bettany may reunite with ''A Knight's Tale'' costar Ledger in a Brian Helgeland-directed adaptation of ''Moby Dick''
Do you find that Hollywood studios want to typecast British actors?
Back in England I play gangsters, poets, anything. But I think there's a tendency in American films for English people to only play baddies. I think it's because of the whole War of Independence thing, really. The same way that French people play good lovers in American films. Because of the debt of gratitude to Lafayette.
The whole ''Knight's Tale'' cast, including Heath Ledger, is rumored to be reuniting for Brian Helgeland's next movie, which is...
An adaptation of ''Moby Dick,'' with me playing Ahab! If the studio will allow us to make it. Right now they're saying that it's ''too dark.'' I'm saying, ''It's probably the greatest piece of American literature ever written -- I think we should make a film out of it!'' It's very unpatriotic of them.
