AMAZING NEW CHARACTER PICTURES FROM THE SECOND SEASON OF HBO'S "GAME OF THRONES" EPIC SERIES! SYFY TURNING PAUL BETTANY'S "LEGION" INTO TV SHOW
Good news for all of you who love sf like I do. Remember the super cool, wonderfully trashy and rather crazy sf flick LEGION from 2010 with Paul 
Bettany? It was quite a flop in cinemas, but it still has a lot of fans and is a hit on the DVD market, so SyFy came up with the idea to make it into a TV show. The plot of the film revolved around God losing faith in humanity and sending his legion of angels to wipe out the human race for the second time. After that mankind's only hope lied in a group of misfits holed up in a diner in the desert who are aided by the archangel Michael who believes there is still something good among humans so he defies God and helps them defend from the legion of dark angels unleashed from heavens above.
released yesterday around the net. New pictures are mostly character ones since they present most of the old and new heroes from the show, from Kit Harrington, Emilia Clarke, Lena Headey, Jack Gleeson to Nikolaj Coster Waldau, Alfie Allen and others... The 
second season was shot in Ireland and in Croatia. As you can guess, the story in the new season will be based on action and war, Lady Stark and her sons will try to revenge the death of their husband and father,
Princess Daenerys will try to secure her throne and I hope she will have the help of her adorable dragon babies born in the dramatic finale of the first season, idiotic King Joffrey will continue irritating us when he starts pouring his anger on equally idiotic Sansa Stark who's brother's
Northern armies are marching over to take him down, Cersei Baratheon will continue with her evil schemes and plots, Jon Snow will bravely go to the other side of The Wall where eternal winter rules, little Arya will try to return home... so lots of exciting things awaiting us this April over at HBO!
Do you have the same Valentine's Day hype across the Atlantic? Just wondered if you were baking up anything special? Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeletenope, I think that day is Saint Trifun, the protector of wine and grapes here, but I'm not religious so.... I wouldn't mind being swamped with chocolates and such things from lovers and admirers though :)
DeleteMy sister couldn't stop talking about Game of Thrones on her last visit here - I'll have to check it out!
ReplyDeleteYou will like it, Suzie!
DeleteIt's funny you wrote something about GOT - I just, just ended season 1 for the 2nd time =) I'm also reading book n°2 and I can't wait to see what it will look like!
ReplyDeleteL.
looks like you're all set for the second season then :)) Hope it will be better directed than the first one, and more dynamic.
DeleteWell, in book 2 this is war, so I guess it might be a little bit more dynamic XD Did you think season 1 was not so well directed?
Deletethe direction within the episodes was often quite confusing, and the episodes themselves weren't always very focused, but the show was good generally speaking.
DeleteIdiotic Joffery, indeed! But even with that little donkey fart on the throne I'm very excited by the promo HBO's put out so far. Let dragon babies rain from the skies! :-) Thanks for the info, Dezz!
ReplyDeletehe and Sansa so deserve each other, don't they? :) And I will blow fire on HBO if we don't see dragons in the second season :)
DeleteI was strangely entertained by Legion, it's true. May have to check out the series. Well, once it hits DVD. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteAnd I want to see dragon babies too...someday. :(
we love us dragons, don't we?
DeleteYou also liked PRIEST if I remember correctly, that one was also strangely entertaining :)
Ha! You're right. I think I got those two films confused. Are you sure they aren't the same movie?
DeleteI also got them confused when I read the news today and got happy because I thought it was PRIEST, the more sf one, but a second later realized it's the one with fallen angels :)
Deleteoh i remember that movie, it was a little trashy and crazy when i saw it in theatres. It just barley passed the bar, barley :b
ReplyDeleteit was meant to be crazy and trashy :))
DeleteTomorrow I'm sitting down and watching the entire Lord of the rings Trilogy lol gonna blast through some popcorn.
ReplyDeletewow, Baur, that will be more than six hours of watching, prepare enough food and drink and warm blankets :)
DeleteToday I'm sitting and watching the original Star Wars trilogy. ;)
Deletesay hello to Princess Leia for me :)
DeleteI watched Legion and totally loved it. But I didn't get that specific story plot from the movie; although I did feel the two angels were on the same side. Yeah, I'd watch the series.
ReplyDeleteOh, I can't look at A Game of Thrones :( I wish I could afford HBO to watch it. I'm hoping one of my friends at work who is known to buys series on DVD will purchase it and loan it to me.
You're such a tease Dezzy.
.....dhole
LEGION was crazilly cool :) Most of that plot is told by Paul's character when he tells the people in the bar what is happening :)
DeleteMy daughter and I watched Legion and we love it. I don't care what the critics say! Game of Thrones is going to continue to do well I think
ReplyDeleteyou two should watch PRIEST with him and Karl Urban too, it was wonderfully trashy too and a joy to watch and it lasts just 80 minutes which is highly unusual for today's cinema.
DeleteLegion ended in a way so that it would run right into a series, so not a bad idea. But it's on sci-fi so I won't hold my breath for more than a season or too. Not that I really liked the movie anyway, was okay to me but meh. I'll be getting on watching game of thrones soon.
ReplyDeleteYep, having SyFy as your channel usually means your future is doomed :)
DeleteUnless your good old wrestling, as you know that is soooo sci fi, maybe SyFy stands for something else?
Deletethey have wrestling? Hope it's porn wrestling for after midnight hours :)
DeleteI remember Legion advertised but I didn't get to see it. The premise was a little silly.
ReplyDeleteAs you know, I'm soooooo looking forward to Game of Thrones.
GAME OF THRONES should be nice in the second season!
DeleteYeah, I got confused between Legion and Priest - because Paul Bettany plays it the same in each. Legion was ok. Priest looked good, but didn't deliver. IMO.
ReplyDeleteREALLY looking forward to GOT2.
I loved PRIEST more than LEGION, I love films set in some future time and space, and I love dystopian films too, not to mention how much I adore Karl Urban and I also love Bettany, Cam Gigandet and Christopher Plummer.
DeleteOh man, I really can't wait for April 1st.
ReplyDeleteepic fun, yes? :) Thankfully we have even better SPARTACUS VENGEANCE to watch until then.
DeleteI haven't seen game of thrones yet. Hopefully they'll show it in my region soon!
ReplyDeletekeeping my fingers crossed for you :)
DeleteJust starting Game of Thrones first season since I don't get HBO. A SyFy show based on Legion? Could be interesting, but I so loved Paul as Michael. Too hot!
ReplyDeleteI bet you will like Khal Drogo, darling ;)
DeleteSaw the movie time yesterday, Although I don't like Justin Timberlake I thought it was pretty neat! Dezmound I bet you have an insane home theater system what kind of speakers do you run? I have some Paradigm Atom speakers for the front and bose for the other 5. I know I'm trying to get rid of the bose!
ReplyDelete(In time) not time
Deleteit was a nice film, Baur, I usually like Andrew Niccol's sf films.
DeleteActually here in Serbia we don't really have DVD market, so I don't have any special theater system. And we don't really have money for lovely things like that :) I have LG LCD TV and I watch films on it (God Bless Torrents) :)
Amen.
DeleteLOL
Deletei don't really think a legion series will be worth the time, afterall, it was bettany that made that movie so entertaining (for me) and i'm sure he wouldn't be in the series.
ReplyDeletebut i did enjoy that movie. i SWEAR the scene with the little old lady on the wall is one of the freakiest strangest things i've ever seen.
oh man! i really need to see that first season of GoT! i keep forgetting about it for some reason.
