Here's the relevant part:
"And following in the footsteps of BBC FOUR's The Quatermass Experiment of last year, comes another science fiction classic - A for Andromeda.
This contemporary adaptation of the 1961 film features Kelly Reilly (Mrs Henderson Presents, The Libertine) as Christine /Andromeda; Tom Hardy (The Virgin Queen, Sweeney Todd) as John Fleming and Jane Asher as Professor Madeline Dawnay. "
I have not seen the original 1961 version but what I know about it includes the fact that it starred frequent Doctor Who guest star Peter Halliday and a very young Julie Christie in her very first TV role as Christine/Andromeda and was produced and directed by future Doctor Who director Michael Hayes.
Even though I have not seen Julie Christie as Christine/Andromeda I am very confident that Kelly Reilly will do well in the part having seen her just last month in Mrs Henderson Presents.
