The upcoming Mike Newell-directed version of Great Expectations stars the one and only Helena Bonham Carter as Miss Havisham. We couldn't imagine anyone better for the part than Helena, whose eccentric fashion and serious acting skill make her way more interesting than most Hollywood stars. We're looking forward to her portrayal of Miss Havisham as something other than "woman who went crazy because she didn't have a husband." If anyone's up to the task, it's Bellatrix Lestrange.
