So far no one seems to have used that particular R-word with regard to Bella Heathcote's chacter in the Depp/DS film. The only R-word I've seen is "resembles," as in Heathcote will play a waitress who resembles Barn's long-lost love.
And speaking about the waitress issue, there are also many Web sites that are reporting that Heathcote will play a waitress in the Depp/DS film (I gave up counting after the 7th page of listings came up in Google, which means there are more than 60 out there). The thing about the waitress vs. governess issue, though, is that practically every, if not every report on the Internet regarding Heathcote's casting can be traced back to just two Web sites: the deadline.com site or Variety's site. If a site cites deadline.com as their source, Heathcote will play governess Victoria Winters. But if they cite Variety, then Heathcote will play an unnamed waitress. So, unless, like Maggie on the original series, the character is both a waitress and a governess at various points in the script, many Web sites will turn out to to have gotten it wrong depending out which source they decided to put their trust in. And unfortunately we're not going to know which is which until some point down the road when someone (quite possibly Marcy Robin of ShadowGram) finally clues us in. Though it's certainly also fun to try to read the tea leaves as different things pop up...
