1ST CENTURY EPIC 'CLAVIUS'
JOSEPH FIENNES & TOM FELTON
While you are watching him currently in Dwayne Johnson's HERCULES and while we are looking forward to watching him as NOSTRADAMUS in the new historical TV series, it seems that Joseph Fiennes will remain in a period costume since, according to 'Deadline', he has accepted a role in the first century epic thriller CLAVIUS from director Kevin Reynolds which will also star Tom Felton. To be released next Easter, CLAVIUS will follow an agnostic Roman Centurion (Joseph Fiennes) charged by Pontius Pilate to investigate rumours of a risen Messiah and locate the missing body of Jesus of Nazareth in order to subdue an uprising in Jerusalem. Along the Centurion’s high-stakes mission, his doubts of such a supernatural occurrence are challenged as he encounters the Apostles and other historical characters while piecing together the mysterious events that unfolded after the crucifixion.

Nostradamus... Sounds interesting.
ReplyDeleteShould be fun if they don't make it overly dark and morbid
DeleteDid I mention it took me years to be number one in your cave? Nostadamus couldn't possibly have foreseen this...
DeleteWhat? I have a cave? Since when coonlruses live in caves? :)
DeleteWhat in the world are coonlruses? :p
Deletemutants of coons and walruses, of course.....
DeleteHistorical musical comedy starring John Stamos? That has "canceled" written all over it!
ReplyDeletenot neccesarily. It could be a hit or miss, depending on the humour. It is something fresh for sure and ABC audience tends to love fantasy tales
DeleteGalavant has some promoise
ReplyDeletecould be an epic success or an epic fail.
DeleteIt will be nice to see John Stamos in something new again. I have only seen him on the Full House re-runs my daughter likes to play every night for the past few years, so anything other than Uncle Jesse will probably grab my attention.
ReplyDeleteWe do love those old sitcoms from FULL HOUSE and BLOSSOM to COSBY SHOW, GOLDEN GIRLS and my fave HOME IMPROVEMENT
DeleteYes, we do. That was when television didn't need to push the shock factor to get us to watch. It was just good, wholesome family tv that we could all sit down and enjoy together. What the hell happened to that!?
Deletethat is why I still like to surround myself with sitcoms such as BABY DADDY, LAST MAN STANDING, YOUNG AND HUNGRY... they're innocent, but yet modern and delightful fun. I think BABY DADDY is my biggest TV crush ever since FRIENDS
DeleteI hope Tom's role is different from his Draco character that carried over into the Planet of the Apes installment he did. He's a better actor than the latter portrayed.
ReplyDeleteI know for sure that he won't be Pontius in it :) that role hasn't been cast yet
DeleteI'm with Stephanie and doubting the success of a historical musical. But...leave out the musical part and I'm in!
ReplyDeleteit would certainly sell better around the world if it wasn't musical :)
DeleteJohn Stamos as a knight, now that should be interesting. Galavant looks like it will be a riot.
ReplyDeletea total riot if they do it right :)
DeleteAs long as John Stamos doesn't break out the drums and start singing Beach Boys songs, I'm good.
ReplyDeleteAgreed!
DeleteJohn Stamos has always had an ear for music.
ReplyDeleteindeed!
DeleteOoooo I like the look of Galavant! Singing and comedy has worked well before-Monty Pythons Holy Grail was rather a LARGE success. I hope this is a hit and sticks around.
ReplyDeleteThis does remind me a bit of Python... although I didn't like that one ... I was more of a fan of ALO, ALO, dear and even ONLY FOOLS AND HORSES and BLACK ADDER naturally
