But suddenly the faeries are stalking her and she's forced to confront them and their world that she's feared all her life. There's also Keenan, a Summer King, who has been searching for his Summer Queen for nine centuries and now he has his eyes on Aislinn. It seems that Warner Bros is preparing a huge sf project. According to "Deadline" the studio has bought a script from author Gregg Hurwitz called EXPULSION. This futuristic film will begin with an act of terror which destroys Earth after which a small band of survivors escape to a planet beyond the solar system.
"Movieweb" has posted yesterday the first pictures of Chris Evans as Steve Rodgers at the set of CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER, and as you can see Chris, who had a smoking body before as well, got even more muscly, ripped and brawny for the role. He is now a true super hero. Coming to cinemas next summer, the film also stars Hugo Weaving, Tommy Lee Jones, Sebastian Stan, Dominic Cooper...
And if you like magic and fairy tales, you might want to check out the trailer for the small and low budgeted but super charming British film MRS PEPPERCORN'S MAGICAL READING ROOM, directed by Mike Le Han, a story about a little girl who gets more than she bargained for when she sees some unusual movement in the reading room of the shop across the street. There she meets Mrs. Peppercorn who shows her how magical the world can be ... The trailer is very atmospheric.
Do you know if Richard Armitage is in Captian America?
ReplyDeleteJust add some magnificent special effects to that atmospheric scenes, I believe Mrs. Peppercorn's Magical Reading Room will be a really watchable film.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, Wicked Lovely as a film! I really hope they do the book justice... novel adaptations of excellent books tend to make me rather nervous.
ReplyDeleteThe dude is all shoulders...
ReplyDelete@Avalon
ReplyDeleteI've no idea, but I don't think so :)
@Jaccsy
yep, but I'm not sure they have the money for special effects ... it's a low budget flick.
@Faith
yep, books are often ruined by film adaptations
@Alex
makes you wanna go straight to the gym, yes? :)
DEZMOND - Wicked Lovely could be good. I should read the book. And the movie looks fun - magical.
ReplyDeletei've heard some really great things about the wicked lovely novel. but i haven't read it yet.
ReplyDeletebut that trailer looked very very cool. atmospheric was the perfect word! :)
Just popping back in to say thanks for stopping by my blog, and to mention that I responded (maybe a bit long-winded, heh) to your comment.
ReplyDeleteIt made me think and perhaps wonder if I should have clarified what I meant by giving characters a flaw... I might post again on this in the future, because I definitely see your point. It's certainly something to think about!
@Shells
ReplyDeleteso you're not one of those slackers who'd rather watch the film than read the book :))
@Vics
it is atmospheric, isn't it? :)
@Faith
be welcome, glad to see you over here as well :)
Well, Chris looks like he fits the bill pretty well. I have high hopes for the script on that one.
ReplyDeleteWow, some awesome movies coming out.
ReplyDeleteCD
Hot damn!
ReplyDeleteChris Evans just got a whole lot hotter!
Muscles on top of muscles. And there ain't nothin' wrong with that!

I like the prosthetic wrinkle feet that you see in the pic :P The movie adaptations sound pretty cool, though that Mrs. Peppercorn didn't seem all that entertaining. There didn't seem to be any real 'magic' going on at all, which was a tad confusing.
ReplyDelete@Cheeseboy
ReplyDeletehe really does!
@Clarissa
yep, Clarissa, hope your weekend's going well
@Dean
hey, Dean, nice to see you over here ;) Yep, I couldn't agree more, absolutely nothing wrong in it :)
@Jamie
didn't know you have a foot fetish :)) Just jokin' ;)
Yep, PEPPERCORN has no effects in the trailer so that's why it looks like that to you, but it is a very cheap film which still has some special atmosphere.
@Avalon Yes, Richard Armitage is in Captain America. He has been filming in Manchester this week, playing a baddie called Heinz Kruger.
ReplyDeleteOh, that we get our RA ladies super excited :)
ReplyDeleteDezmond, I'm always popping in to look at your blog and I hope you'll keep up the news on Captain America! RA doesn't have a huge role in this but it's action-packed and it's great to see him in a blockbuster :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm sure RA will do a great job representing British gents in the film :) I thank you for popping in often ;)
ReplyDeleteWell I did have my doubts, but I guess Chris Evans does look a lot like the star spangled banner.
ReplyDeleteHi Dezmond I think the Peppercorn trailer was a first tester because this one has a little magic in it http://vimeo.com/12820761 maybe change your link to this one?
ReplyDelete@Titan
ReplyDeletehe is totally star spangled :)
@Anonymous

Is wicked lovely really coming to the big screen? I am excited to hear that, I liked the book when I read it. It will be intersting to see how they adapt it for the movies! I love all the research you do and all that you come up with on your site. There is a book being optioned for a movie that you maybe could find out if it is really coming out or not, it is called Beautiful Creatures. I would love to know if it is rumor or fact. =0)
ReplyDeletethanks a million
yes, I've put the info on WICKED LOVELY because I know how much you writers like such stories :)
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of BEAUTIFUL CREATURES before, but I will update you if I find something out. I do remember the amazing film HEAVENLY CREATURES with Kate Winslet.
