Mr. Crisparkle strikes me as a really, truly good humored and good natured kind of man. Therefore I think Jason Bateman likeability would do this character justice on the big screen if The Mystery of Edwin Drood were a movie.
Jason Bateman as Mr. Crisparkle

Interesting choice. I pictured Crisparkle as a little older and chubbier but I like your thought as well. Amazing what we each take away from reading. Of course, I like Jason and Crisparkle so I think it could work =)
Love this one!
I love Jason Bateman as Septimus Crisparkle. Bateman is far more complex than people give him credit for. Great choice, just the kind of casting that shows critical thinking
