JAMIE DORNAN WANTED FOR
GUY RITCHIE'S 'KING ARTHUR'
Do I have the greatest news from the epic front today or what: after yesterday's amazing news that Tom Hiddleston might be new BEN HUR, today's blissful info is that Guy Ritchie wants Irish hunk Jamie Dornan for the lead in his KING ARTHUR possible seven movie historical franchise! According to 'Daily Mail' the director recently met the 50 SHADES OF GRAY, THE FALL and NEW WORLDS star and was blown away by his charisma. The only problem, currently, can be the fact that he is locked with Universal on 50 SHADES and KING ARTHUR will be over at Warner Bros. I've informed you recently that Guy Ritchie also wants Idris Elba to play Arthur's teacher in a reimagining of the story of King Arthur and his legendary knights of the kingdom of Camelot. The movie is scheduled for July 2016, and before that Ritchie has THE MAN FROM UNCLE with Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer!
NORTHMEN: A VIKING SAGA
NEW POSTER AND TRAILER WITH TOM HOPPER AND RYAN KWANTEN
And to end the day in epic style, check out the new poster and trailer for NORTHMEN: A VIKING SAGA which, starring TV stars Tom Hopper and Ryan Kwanten follows a band of Vikings stranded behind enemy lines on the coast of Alba as their longboat goes down in a dreadful storm. Their only chance of survival is to find a path to the Viking settlement, Danelag, traversing an unfamiliar and hostile land they have never known.
History will be mined to death by Hollywood. Nice share today Dez, loved the posters.
ReplyDeleteWe do love it when Hollywood mines history :)
DeleteNot sure about NORTHMEN. Getting a bit tired of these bloody battles.
ReplyDeleteAs for KING ARTHUR - sounds mighty fine. A huge fan of Guy Ritchie!
we shall watch the vikings only for Ryan and Tom. We do adore those two!
DeleteOkay then. We shall watch the vikings, but only for Ryan and Tom's sake :)
DeleteThey do deserve our undivided attention. I even watched that godawful BLACK SAILS show just because Tom was in it :)
DeleteSounds like that Jamie guy's career is on FIRE! Could he be the next Brad Pitt?
ReplyDeleteHOLLYWOOD SPY has been supporting his career for many years now and we're very proud of him!
DeleteI don't like Guy Ritchie, so I'll probably pass on King Arthur. However, I MAY give Northman a try if I don't have anything better to watch.
ReplyDeleteI don't like him either, but I always give everything historical a go :) And we shall watch NORTHMEN for Kwanten and Hopper :)
DeleteBeen awhile since I've seen anything Viking related
ReplyDeleteI've seen VIKINGDOM with Dominic Purcell last year and it was both wonderfully trashy and hilariously bad :)
DeleteVikings always give me the chills. I don't know why.
ReplyDeletebecause they're merciless.... it's funny how today's people of those regions are so peaceful and liberal while their ancestors were the barbaric plague of the middle ages....
DeleteOh grumply how you the vikings give you chillis omy!
DeleteI love them!
Gloria, Vikings were the most aggressive invaders and raiders back in the Middle Ages. They raped, killed, tortured hundreds of thousands of people in Europe and burnt half of the countries. They really are chilling
DeleteMy point exactly. ;)
Deleteand they wore horns on their heads too....
DeleteTheir... heads? Um...
DeleteVikings seem to be very popular these days. And Guy Ritchie doing King Arthur? That can only be a winner. Have a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeletethanks, likewise....
DeleteHiddleston is an interesting next Ben Hur. And what about those Vikings? They were a snarly bunch, so the stories should be interesting.
ReplyDeletewe do like it when they make right castings in historical movies
DeleteAh...so this is where I come to get all the Hollywood goss, eh?
ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of King Arthur so I'm happy to have a hunky man playing that part and I have to say I'm rather looking forward to Northmen. I hadn't heard about this and it looks right up my Viking Street, it does. :)
indeed, we're the top spot for getting the Hollywood info!
DeleteGlad you're into both of today's epic treats!
Vikings seem to be on the rise in popularity movie-wise. Intense trailer.
ReplyDeleteand this second one is much better than the first one I played a year ago
DeleteOoooo yes, Northmen looks pretty good! I had my doubts when you posted the first trailer but this new one does look better.
ReplyDeleteyep, it looks like a whole another movie in this new trailer
DeleteI love Northmen Dezzy, hugs!
ReplyDeletehope it comes over to Chile too, Gloria
DeleteNorthmen looks great!
ReplyDeleteglad you like it, Simon
DeleteGreat trailer and a must see for me! I just like this kind of movies!
ReplyDeleteGreetings
Peter
me too, even though they're sometimes truly bad :) I've recently seen VIKINGDOM from last year with Dominic Purcell and it was absolutely horrible :)
