There may be a new project for Joseph in the near future, playing Dr. Richard Hoskins, a professor at Bath Spa University who helped the police on the investigation of the death of Adam, a young man whose body was found mutilated floating in the Thames.

Hoskins’ book, Sacrifice, is in talks to be made into a film, and there’s speculation Joe will play the expert in African religions. Joseph has recently visited Shebbear College, where Richard currently works, held a workshop on Shakespeare with its promising drama students (as reported HERE) and discussed the potential of the book as a screenplay.

When asked if he can see Joseph Fiennes playing him in a film, Dr. Hoskins replied,

Yeah I do. He’s a great guy. He’s a really lovely person and he’s got real integrity. He is one of those actors who, pretty much right across the board, has chosen his parts on what he believes in, that he identifies with. He’s not a commercial fellow. Because he loves the story and has really got a grip on it I couldn’t think of anyone better to play me.
