Following a trail of clues to the darkly majestic Prince Regent Hotel, Mariah discovers a hidden realm of child-stealing monsters, deadly secrets and a long-lost artefact that grants limitless wealth – but also devastating supernatural power. With the fate of his world, and his family at stake, Mariah will risk everything to unravel the Curse of the Midas Box! Michael Sheen, Sam Neil, Lena Headey and Ioan Gruffudd also star!

  POMPEII
 NO WARNING, NO ESCAPE!
But the real heat awaits us in February, not because of sweet and hot St. Valentines kisses, but because POMPEII will erupt in cinemas. Set in the days leading up to the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius, the historical epic adventure film will see GAME OF THRONES' Kit Harington playing a slave on a ship heading for Naples who works to get home to save the woman (Emily Browning) he loves and his best friend, a gladiator trapped inside the city's coliseum! As the city is slowly buried in volcanic ash, he also comes face-to-face with the murderer of his family. Kiefer Sutherland and Carrie Anne Moss play Emily Browning's parents!

SPOTLIGHT ON BBC'S NEW HISTORICAL ADVENTURE TV SERIES 'THE MUSKETEERS' WITH LUKE PASQUALINO, SANTIAGO CABRERA, PETER CAPALDI, HUGO SPEER! FIRST TRAILER AND NEW PICTURES!

 THE MUSKETEERS
BBC'S NEW EPIC ADVENTURE TELEVISION SERIES
January is usually a very poor month in television and movie business, people,  with mostly nothing to watch,  but this year, beside the naughty pirates of BLACK SAILS which will sail into the small screens over at Starz, we shall also see legendary  THE MUSKETEERS swording their way into BBC ONE in the first month of 2014! The British channel has just released the first trailer for their upcoming historical adventure series which you can check out below the spotlight. The ten-part TV drama, based on the classic novel by famous Alexandre Dumas, will see 'Skins' hunky star Luke Pasqualino playing D'Artagnan, 'Merlin's heartthrob Santiago Cabrera playing Aramis and 'Doctor Who's' Peter Capaldi playing Cardinal Richelieu.

  THE MUSKETEERS' STORY
ALL FOR ONE, ONE FOR ALL
Set on the streets of seventeenth century Paris, where law and order is more an idea than reality, the series follows MUSKETEERS Athos, Aramis and Porthos. They are far more than King Louis XIII’s personal bodyguards. They stand resolutely for social justice, for honor, for valor, for love – and for the thrill of it. D’Artagnan (Luke Pasqualino), a skilled fighter from rural Gascony, meets the three Musketeers while on a mission to right the wrong of his father’s death. Although he meets the men in unfortunate circumstances, he finds kindred spirits in the other soldiers. Athos (Tom Burke), who has rejected his noble roots to become a Musketeer, has a past shrouded in mystery. He quickly befriends D’Artagnan, but is prone to getting in trouble. Porthos (Howard Charles) is a larger than life character, who has come from humble beginnings to become a soldier in the most elite regiment in the land, finding a family in the other Musketeers. Never short of admirers, Aramis (Santiago Cabrera) has an effortless charm which leads him in and out of love. Despite this, he is a shrewd pragmatist who is ferocious in battle and commands a key place in the brotherhood. Constance Bonacieux (Tamla Kari) leads a dull but comfortable life married to a cloth merchant, but her life is turned upside down when D’Artagnan tumbles into her life, and she becomes involved with The Musketeers. Cardinal Richlieu (Peter Capaldi), while striving to  achieve his vision of a thoroughly modern France, is a shadowy character who will stop at nothing to achieve his objectives. Milady (Maimie McCoy) is the Cardinal’s secret weapon, the most mysterious and beautiful of villains whose motives are often concealed. The King relies on the advice of The Cardinal, his shrewd wife Queen Anne and also Captain Treville (Hugo Speer), the brave and respected commander of The Musketeers who keeps an eye on the soldiers to ensure they stay out of trouble. The series bursts with
escapism, adventure and romance and is set to thrill audiences with cracking stories!

 THE MUSKETEERS' TIDBITS
RICHLIEU WHO? 
With the cast also including Alexandra Dowling as Queen Anne and Ryan Gage as King Louis XIII, THE MUSKETEERS will also air over at BBC America later next year. It is still not known whether the role of Richlieu will be recast if the show gets second season given the fact that after the shooting of the opening season, Peter Capaldi got the lead role in DR. WHO.

  THE MUSKETEERS
 WHAT HAPPENS IN 1ST EPISODE?
In the first episode, the brightest musketeers of the King’s Regiment – Athos, Porthos and Aramis – are dispatched by Captain Treville to find a missing musketeer carrying important letters on behalf of King Louis. But Cardinal Richelieu has plans to increase his political power and seeks to sabotage the good reputation of the musketeers. Meanwhile, d’Artagnan travels from his family farm in Gascony to Paris to petition the king, but his peaceful plans are turned upside down when he is forced to find the Musketeers and seek vengeance for the brutal murder of a loved one. Will d’Artagnan bring the murderer to justice, and can the Musketeers protect king and country? Or will the Cardinal triumph with the help of the beautiful and dangerous Milady?

SPOTLIGHT ON ENCHANTING FANTASY ROMANCE 'WINTER'S TALE' WITH COLIN FARRELL, RUSSELL CROWE, JESSICA BROWN FINDLAY, WILL SMITH, MATT BOMER!

  WINTER'S TALE BRINGS
ENCHANTING ROMANTIC FANTASY!
One of the enchanting magical movies ready to spellbind your late winter at the beginning of February around St. Valentines is fantasy drama and romance WINTER'S TALE with Colin Farrell, Russell Crowe and Jessica Brown Findlay. The directorial debut of Academy Award Winning screenwriter Akiva Goldsman (A BEAUTIFUL MIND), who also wrote the script for this $50 million romantic film, is based on a novel of the same name written back in 1983 by Mark Helprin. Set in a mythic New York City and spanning more than a century, WINTER'S TALE is a story of miracles, crossed destinies, and the age-old battle between good and evil.

  THE TALE OF WINTER'S TALE
THIS IS NOT A TRUE STORY, THIS IS TRUE LOVE!
Back in 1916, New York City is subsumed in arctic winds, dark nights, and white lights, its life unfolds, for it is an extraordinary hive of the imagination, the greatest house ever built, and nothing exists that can check its vitality. One night in winter, Peter Lake (Colin Farrell), orphan and master-mechanic, attempts to rob a fortress-like mansion on the Upper West Side. Though he thinks the house is empty, the daughter of the house is home. In an unexpected turn of events this event starts the love between Peter, a middle-aged Irish burglar, and Beverly Penn (Jessica Brown Findlay), a young girl, who is fatally ill and is dying. Peter believes that his love could save her. At the same time Lake is saved from the Irish insane gangster Pearly Soames (Russell Crowe), for whom he used to work and is now running from, and his gang of thugs by Athansor, a mysterious white horse who becomes his guardian angel. But when Pearly finally catches up with our hero and he seems doomed, something strange happens: he shows up in present-day Manhattan having lost his memory and befriends Virginia (Jennifer Connelly), who helps him explore his past.

  WINTER'S TALE TIDBITS
WILL SMITH IN A SHORT ROLE
In the star studded cast Colin Farrell stars as Peter Lake, Russell Crowe as Pearly Soames, DOWNTON ABBEY's Jessica Brown Findlay as Beverly Penn, Jennifer Connelly as Virginia Gamely, William Hurt as Isaac Penn, Eva Marie Saint as adult Willa, Will Smith as Judge, Matt Bomer as Peter's father, Lucy Griffiths as Peter's mother! Kevin Durand, Graham Greene and Fin Wittrock are also starring. Tom Hiddleston and Lily Collins were originally wanted for the roles (what a magnificent cast that would've been), and in the case that Colin Farrell hadn't accepted the lead role Akiva Goldsman also had in mind Welsh star Luke Evans, Liam Hemsworth, Benjamin Walker and Aaron Johnson! Oscar winner Hans Zimmer is composing the music for the movie.

1ST 'TRANSCENDENCE' TRAILER
 JOHNNY DEPP, PAUL BETTANY, CILLIAN MURPHY, MORGAN FREEMAN, KATE MARA
Dr. Will Caster (Johnny Depp) is the foremost researcher in the field of Artificial Intelligence, working to create a sentient machine that combines the collective intelligence of everything ever known with the full range of human emotions. His highly controversial experiments have made him famous, but they have also made him the prime target of anti-technology extremists who will do whatever it takes to stop him. However, in their attempt to destroy Will, they inadvertently become the catalyst for him to succeed - to be a participant in his own transcendence. For his wife Evelyn (Rebecca Hall) and best friend Max Waters (Paul Bettany), both fellow researchers, the question is not if they can... but if they should. Their worst fears are realized as Will's thirst for knowledge evolves into a seemingly omnipresent quest for power, to what end is unknown. The only thing that is becoming terrifyingly clear is there may be no way to stop him. Coming to cinemas next April the film also stars Morgan Freeman, Cillian Murphy and Kate Mara.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH SHAUN SMITH RENOWNED MAKE-UP & EFFECTS EXPERT FROM '300', 'CONAN THE BARBARIAN', 'CHRONICLES OF NARNIA', 'I AM LEGEND', 'THE MONKEY KING'

  EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH
SHAUN SMITH, MOVIE MAKE-UP & EFFECTS EXPERT
Today at HOLLYWOOD SPY we are joined by Shaun Smith, make-up and effects expert who worked on many visually stunning movies such as 300, CONAN THE BARBARIAN, I AM LEGEND, THE MONKEY KING and CHRONICLES OF NARNIA! Shaun Smith has over 20 years of experience working on make-up, special make-up effects, puppets and props for feature films, television and commercials and he was kind enough to sit down and have a chitchat with your Hollywood Spy.

  SHAUN, CAN YOU TELL US WHAT DOES THE WORK OF A MAKEUP SUPERVISOR CONSIST OF? WE KNOW IT INVOLVES MUCH LEARNING, INSPIRATION AND CREATIVITY. YOU ORGANIZE AND SUPERVISE INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOPS....
Yeah, I love it, love the intensity of it. It’s like a big puzzle and its fun to figure it out. There is something about the collaboration process that keeps me excited. I basically work out the details and the look with the director and other people on the team. I then do a budget and schedule for the job, hire the team, coordinate the shop build, apply and oversee make-up applications and most importantly make sure we stay under budget and on time.

  WHAT WAS IT LIKE WORKING WITH THE BIGGEST VISUAL GENIUS IN MODERN FILM - ZACK SNYDER - ON THE GROUNDBREAKING EPIC "300"? ANY CHANCE OF WORKING WITH HIM AGAIN?
I feel fortunate I worked with Zack on his first two films “Dawn of the Dead” and “300”. Both successful movies with a ton of make-up. Zack’s a lot of fun.  And like I said, we did two successful films together so you never know. I really like Zack so working with him again would be cool.

  YOU ALSO WORKED ON ANOTHER EPIC FILM "CONAN THE BARBARIAN" CREATING SOME TRULY MEMORABLE LOOKS. THAT GENRE IS PROBABLY A HEAVEN FOR MAKE UP ARTISTS.
I’m a huge fan of the Conan comics and the 1982 Milius film! So yeah, working on a Conan movie was unbelievable. I was totally engrossed in the process. We had a pretty small crew for a job that size. When I look back at all the makeup and hair work in that film…I am really proud of what we produced.

  CREATURE EFFECTS IN WILL SMITH'S POST APOCALYPTIC FILM "I AM LEGEND" WERE ALSO YOUR JOB?
We worked out the original make-up test with director Francis Lawrence. We imagined the Hemocytes covered in white ash because in the original script the city was going to be on fire and ash was everywhere like snow, hence the white caked make-up. The theory was that they smeared an ash concoction over their skin to protect it and give some relief to the raw and translucent skin underneath. Ultimately they decided to go digital for the infected humans (Hemocytes). I believe I ended up being credited as the Creature Effects Supervisor on the film.

 AND ALSO IN "CHRONICLES OF NARNIA" AND "FOUR BROTHERS"?
I supervised both “Chronicles” and “Four Brothers” for another company since I enjoy running shows for other people and I treat it with the same passion as if it were my own. For “Four Brothers” we built a mechanical Rottweiler that attacks Mark Walberg and Tyrese Gibson. For “Chronicles” we did eight Mechanical Deer, four white and four brown puppets. The build time was really short so I came up with the idea of building just four mechanical bodies where we could switch out the head and skin depending on which colour deer we needed for the shot.

  WHAT CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT YOUR WORK ON UPCOMING ASIAN ADVENTURE "THE MONKEY KING". NEW TRAILER SHOWS SOME REALLY OUTSTANDING MASKS AND MAKE-UP!
Thanks! Yeah, lots of fun makeup on that film. It is rumored to have cost $100 million dollar and I believe it’s one of the biggest make-up effects shows ever done in China. It is probably the most mentally challenging film I’ve ever done. It was about a year and a half stretch of crazy travel and nonstop work. We had to build a shop from the ground up and probably had close to 100 people working on hair suits and makeup effects! We made 80 full haired monkey suits or as I like to call them, Mankey suits, all hand tied, one hair at a time on to Spandex suits... Each suit had two heads and multiple faces. Plus we built a ton of other characters. Desire Soto was my Right Hand on that project! The key to surviving these huge jobs is to surround yourself with good people and have awesome interpreters who understand both cultures.

  WHAT ARE YOU WORKING ON CURRENTLY?
Currently I am in pre-production on a Breck Eisner film starring Vin DieselThe Last Witch Hunter”! Some really cool stuff on that and I’m super excited. Earlier this year, I worked on the new season of “Eagleheart”. I also completed work on Director Jesse Johnson’s latest fan film short “Lobo” with two time World Kickboxing Champion Jerry “Golden Boy” Trimble.

  ANY ADVICE FOR ASPIRING MAKE-UP ARTISTS?
The field is saturated with aspiring artists so make sure it’s what you really want to do before you drop $10,000 or more on make-up school! Be prepared to work your way up. Learn to live frugally because starting pay can be low. And please, always be respectful of the people who came before you and learn the history. At least know who Dick Smith is. Then… practice, practice, practice!
