Unusual Screen Couples Vol. 1
I thought this would be a fun little idea... for some reason I felt inspired to post about unusual screen couples of note. Here's one.
Ralph Fiennes could probably get on one of these any day, with his quirks as an actor. He and Rachel Weisz had sweet counterpoint in The Constant Gardener, and I certainly didn't see the idea of him and J-Lo in Maid in Manhattan. Not to mention the extremely unusual, I-hope-not-romantic couple of him and the wildly eccentric Helena Bonham Carter, as Voldemort and Bellatrix Lestrange, in the next Harry Potter film.
But Ralph Fiennes is on this list for another oddity, for being one half of a couple that was unusual and scary and yet so right, even if it ended wrong.
In Red Dragon, Ralph Fiennes plays the titular villain, Francis Dolarhyde, the self-dubbed Red Dragon and the tabloid-dubbed Tooth Fairy, a formerly-abused body-building serial killer destroying families to 'evolve' himself, and Emily Watson plays Reba McClane, his blind co-worker and possible salvation who he fails to protect from his darker nature.
...'cos unusual can be cool.
