MESMERIZING CHINESE FANTASY "REST ON YOUR SHOULDER"! BRADLEY COOPER ADAPTING SF SAGA "HYPERION"! IRISH SINGING SENSATION CLARE MAGUIRE!

To brighten up your boring Monday, I'm introducing you to lovely Clare Maguire, an almost breathtakingly talented singer from Ireland who is currently rocking Europe with her amazing LIGHT AFTER DARK album. The owner of the most sensational voice
you've ever heard, Claire already has three seductive smash hits - THE LAST DANCE, my favourite which you can watch bellow, AIN'T NOBODY which has the most amazing video ever, and you can also watch her latest single THE SWORD AND THE SHIELD in the left sidebar. She has an extraordinary voice, profound charisma and she is the next big thing. She got a record deal after one of her tracks reached 500,000 plays at MySpace!

 Now, that Bradley Cooper really has big plans for himself. Not only that he might play THE CROW in the remake and the Devil himself in the epic film adaptation of PARADISE LOST, he now
also reveals that he is writing a script for the movie adaptation of famous sf classic HYPERION by Dan Simmons. According to "MovieWeb" he is now negotiating with the producer who owns the rights on the sf saga. The story of HYPERION is set in the distant future, as a space war threatens Hyperion, a planet known for the Time Tombs - large artifacts that can move through time and are guarded by a gruesome monster called the Shrike.

I know I don't post Asian trailers often, but I saw this one at my dear Jaccsy's and it sounds and looks really marvelous and
magical. Coming out this summer to Chinese cinemas, REST ON YOUR SHOULDER  is a magical fantasy romance with breath taking special effects and stunning land scapes which follows a young woman who becomes a butterfly in exchange for the recovery of her sick fiance, a biologist. Yet when he recovers from his illness, he is struck by the disappearance of his fiancee. As the three year time for her return to human form comes near, however, a plague spreads across Celestial Island. When the butterfly realizes she may hold the key to the cure, she goes on a journey to seek the truth.  Will the butterfly save the dying land from the epidemic? Will she successfully become human again after the three year limit? The film was shown at Cannes this year leaving a deep impression. 

PS don't forget to visit BARDS & PROPHETS where I made a new banner for my dear L.G.Smith :) Be sure to follow her too. Other of Dezz designed banners can be seen at W.I.P. IT, HAIRNETS AND HOPES, RASHELLE WORKMAN and THAT'S WRITE.

    Ooh, I did like the Clare Maguire song. But I still love those other Irish singers best. :P

    Rest On Your Shoulder has an interesting visual appeal to it. I might check that one out on Netflix later.

    And thanks again for the beatuiful banner, Dezz. I love it. :)

    REST ON YOUR SHOULDER looks mythical. I'm intrigued.

    I remember ages back I tried to read Hyperion but couldn't get into it.

    Another brilliant banner! Well done :)

    Best of luck to any film-maker trying to adapt Hyperion! Not only is it a very complex and poetic Space Opera, the budget would have to be equally out-of-this-world...

    @Cerebus
    yep, that's what I thought as well. I haven't read it, but people who did keep telling me its extremely complex.

    @Andrew

    Yes, Bradley does seem to be everywhere and he just managed to score more than $100 million in cinemas this weekend with HANGOVER 2.

    I can understand your boredom...I would if I have to translate bad books too ;)

    By the way, do you know Nick? He often hang around in AM. He is a talented writer, I have just reviewed his book. With so many bad books out there,I am surprise he hasn't gotten any deal with publisher yet...his books are really good.

    Clare has a really amazing voice. Thanks for sharing this video. Hyperion looks excellent, but I really, really want to see Rest On Your Shoulder. The story absolutely exquisite.

    Those banners rock! You have such a talent my friend. :)

    I've never read HYPERION, but I think I might just have to put it on my list. I've read a couple other books by Dan Simmons, so I know his plots can get a tad complex.

    Will look forward to Hyperion. The fantasy looks interesting, too.

    bad books usually sell better due to bad readers :)

    @Melsy
    she really does, and a body to match the voice :) Doesn't that Chinese film seem very unusual and unique? Kinda makes you wish for an English version :)
    Glad you liked the banner :)

    After seeing Cooper in Limitless, I've hope for him in the sci-fi/fantasy movie genres. Looking forward to seeing him in Paradise Lost!

    it will be nice seeing him in epics and sf even though we're used to seeing him in comedies

    Not that I am backing The Crow remake, but it is nice to see Cooper going for roles in other genre films besides comedy and romances. He is a really good actor, so I hope this keeps adding to his credibility and tossing the "looks" to the side.

    ReplyDelete
  36. FlixyJune 2, 2011 at 12:55 AM

    Sorry Dezzy but as you know, I'm not crazy about Bradley so I must say I'm not thrilled about him in The Crow reboot. I have no interest in that devil movie, either, but generally I don't care for movies that glorify evil.

    ReplyDelete
  37. DEZMONDJune 2, 2011 at 1:00 AM

    @Geof
    yes, I said that too, it's nice that he is searching for roles outside his usual genre too.

    @Flixy
    I'm actually very into PARADISE LOST because it will be an adaptation of the famous literary epic. And it will also have glorious visuals. If you remember from my post on that film, it will have scenes of areal battles between angels. And if the film will be used to attack the corrupt Christian church, it will be a great piece of art.

    I voted for you in both categories, my friend! And I checked my store for more snowflake silicone pans to do a blog giveaway, and they were sold out. Hope to find more next year.

  39. DEZMONDDecember 6, 2011 at 3:21 PM

    thank you, Lizzy :) And I'm sure I will find an interesting silicone pan here somewhere, although the selection is off course much smaller than over at your place :) So far, I just have a regular silicone pan for round muffins and it's very practical.
