     FOREVER HOME SERIES    

GRAHAM NORTON'S BOOK ADAPTATION IMAGES

Channel 5 has, back in January, if you remember, announced a mini TV series adaptation of Graham Norton's book FOREVER HOME and the cast which includes tons of British small screen names such as Amy Nuttall, Douglas Henshall, Denise Welch, Kevin Whately, Samantha Bond, Lewis Cope, Jenny Walser, Shane Zaza and James Baxter, and now we have the first images from the new series which will air sometime later this year.

 

THE SERIES FOLLOWS THE STORY

of a second wife dealing with the memories of the woman who went before her! When her older partner Robert's dementia worsens, Carol Crottie starts to wonder if the reason he won’t leave his home has something to do with the whereabouts of his first wife, who ran off with Robert’s brother 20 years ago, leaving behind their two young children Kaden and Sally. When Carol discovers a long-dead body hidden in the basement of her home, the horrific realisation is undeniable – she's living with a killer. The story that her husband's first wife ran away never to be seen again now looks like a lie, and the fact he’s insisted on never selling the house suddenly makes sense. But one dark family secret is soon to be replaced by another.

FIRST HISTORICAL MOVIE TRAILER

The movie will hit cinemas this September

Your trusted spy will prolong our Russian weekend today as I have for you a magnificent trailer from their new historical movie 1812: HUNT ON THE EMPEROR (1812.

 THE STORY OF THE FILM IS SET IN 1812.

 After the great Battle of Borodino, French troops enter Moscow. But... what's this?! The streets of Moscow are deserted. Yet Napoleon's army was accustomed to something quite different. Crowds of, if not enthusiastic, then at least curious citizens. This was the case in all the capitals of Europe. But in Moscow – no one! As one of Napoleon's adjutants later wrote, it was then that they began to realize they would lose the war to this people. Empty streets, cawing crows, smiles fading from the French faces. Napoleon's adjutant, Michel Clément, marches on Moscow with a personal goal: to avenge a distant Russian ancestor, whom Tsar Vasily III locked in the Kremlin Tower and starved to death. He hates Russians, considering them barbarians. In the Kremlin, he encounters the few remaining monks of the Chudov Monastery, who have decided to... kill the Antichrist, that is, Napoleon himself. They are joined by a young girl, Maria, who has infiltrated the Kremlin and is obsessed with vengeance for her dead brother. She falls in love with Michel Clément, who is unaware of her true intentions.
