The channel which brought us many lovely programmes, SPARTACUS for example,
STARZ is planning a super cool new
show. In cooperation with
BBC they will produce
DA VINCI'S DEMONS, an exciting new adventure series scheduled to shoot next year with 8 episodes. This historical fantasy, will follow the untold story of the world's greatest genius during his raucous youth in Renaissance Florence. Brash and brilliant, the twenty five-year old Leonardo da Vinci is an artist, inventor, swordsman, lover, dreamer and idealist. As a free thinker, with intellect and talents that are almost superhuman, he struggles to live within the confines of his own reality and time. He begins to not only see the future, but invent it.
HOLLYWOOD SPY HEADLINES
Here's another film which will gather a bunch of forgotten stars in its cast:
Andy Garcia, Forest Whitaker and
Deborah Unger,
forgotten 90's stars, will join
Eva Longoria and
Kevin Durand in
THE TRUTH, in which, as "Deadline" says, the story centers on Andy Garcia's character, an ex-CIA agent who became a political talk show host after retiring as a spy. He is hired by a whistleblower to help expose her company's hand in a South American village massacre.
According to "MovieWeb", the new one to join
THE ENGLISH TEACHER is our new Snow White
Lily Collins. As you remember, the film has
Julianne Moore as a passionate teacher who convinces her former star pupil to put on his unproduced play at the high school. The cast also includes
Greg Kinnear and
Nathan Lane.
Speaking of
STARZ, your today's trailer treat is the first clip for their lavish new show
MAGIC CITY which will premiere in its first season next spring. The story is set in Miami Beach circa 1959, and it follows
Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Ike Evans, a luxury
hotel owner who in order to secure his dream begrudgingly gets in bed with mob boss Ben "The Butcher" Diamond (
Danny Huston) - all while his former showgirl wife Vera (
Olga Kurylenko) remains blissfully unaware. The cast also includes two super gorgeous beings - angelic
Jessica Marais, the mindblowing Mord Sith beauty from LEGEND OF THE SEEKER and seductive
Steven Strait from 10,000 BC.

Dean Morgan is always good so I'll keep an eye out for that. Thanks for the info Dez.
ReplyDeletebe welcome, Ricks!
ReplyDeleteMagic City looks alright
ReplyDeleteYou know I'm going to want to see that Leonard Da Vinci show. Love that idea.
ReplyDelete@Adam
ReplyDeleteglad you like it
@Luanne
I'm also excited about it. STARz gave us amazing SPARTACUS and horrid CAMELOT, but I have faith since they are working with BBC now.
Da Vinci is a for sure. Hope the show's as good as the concept.
ReplyDeleteMagic City may be worth at least a shot. We'll see.
DA VINCI smells like success to me :)It will be interesting to see who will get the lead role.
ReplyDeleteDa Vinci does sound interesting, I have a little faith, they are 50/50 after all. Really depends on who all gets involved with it too.
ReplyDeleteHoly Airbrush on Eva!
ReplyDeleteDa Vinci looks really good. That's something I'd watch if I had more time.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely think I'll watch DaVinci's Demons. Definitely.
ReplyDeleteWhoa...Steven is HOT!!! I think my glasses are fogged up as I can hardly see the screen now. LOL I'm so happy to see Jessica back on the screen. She was incredible in LEGEND.
ReplyDeleteDaVinci looks incredibly exciting and I can't wait to see it.
Some gorgeous peeps on your blog today, Dezzy! Yow!!! I'm struggling with your latest poll off to the right. So many fun actresses to choose from. Wish I could do a first, second and third and then switch them up. LOL You're amazing!! ;D
ReplyDeletedavinci sounds intriguing! as well as the english teacher one. :)
ReplyDeleteI hope the new Da Vinci series will be truthful and portray him as gay.
ReplyDeleteEva looks so hot . :P
ReplyDeleteThe Da Vinci show sounds really good. If BBC do with that what they did with Sherlock then we're in safe hands :)
ReplyDeleteDa Vinci could have the makings of something very good!! I look forward to that one!
ReplyDeleteDa Vinci is the one for me and that picture of Eva brightened up my morning.
ReplyDeleteI second everything Lurker said. DEMONS looks awesome, as does Eva.
ReplyDelete@Pat
ReplyDeleteah, never an optimist, never a pessimist, Pat :)
@Erin
I wish someone would airbrush me :)
@DWei
it does sound good. Hope it will be a stunning show
@Libby
ReplyDeletedefinitely!
@Melsy
you haven't seen him in 10,000BC? He played the lead. A rather cute guy. The film was bad, but it is worth watching for the prehistoric visuals, and him naked all the time :)
Jessica Marais was my goddess alongside Tabby Bethell in SEEKER. I can't believe how gorgeous those two are. Probably the most beautiful woman on Earth.
@Shells
ReplyDeleteglad you like the new poll :) I'm currently struggling with the following one, since I don't have any more ideas. We've had at least a hundred polls so far, and I'm out of material ... Any ideas?
@Vics
DA VINCI should rock, unless they go for something dark like that horrid CAMELOT. I think it must be witty and fun show with charismatic stars
@Debra
he was gay? Didn't know that. Wow, it would be super cool and super hot to watch a show with gay adventurous hero :)
@Pesos
ReplyDeleteglad you think so :)
@JAmie
I hope it will have in it a bit of MERLIN and SPARTACUS too
@Scott
I do too
@Lurk and Josh
I did pay special attention in choosing Eva's pic for you guys :)
That Di Vinci Series looks great. I might check it out if I can.
ReplyDeleteit won't air any time soon. If they start shooting next year it will air only in 2013
ReplyDeleteELENA SATINE also stars on Magic City...she is the most delicious of alllllllll.
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of her, I must Google her :)
ReplyDeleteDA VINCI'S DEMONS sounds wonderful and I love the poster for it too! Too long to wait!!!
ReplyDeleteStarz always have such intriguing series. The Leonardo da Vinci one looks interesting, might have to watch for it.
ReplyDeleteDa Vinci's demons here I come :)
ReplyDelete@Lyndy
ReplyDeleteit's not the poster, it's just a photo of my choice :) Glad you like it
@Flixy
hope they won't disappoint us
@Gizmo
yeehha :)
If Steven is naked in 10,000 BC then I am going to have to watch it. I avoided it because it looked so darned bad.
ReplyDeletehe often wears a loin cloth in it, after all it is set in primordial times :)
ReplyDeleteThe film is worth watching for saber toothed tigers and mammoths and such things.
