As Australian "Daily Telegraph" reports supermodel
Abbey Lee Kershaw is replacing gorgeous
Teresa Palmer in
MAD MAX: FURY ROAD, due to constant delays of the production. The complex and expensive film (there were talks that it will cost around $100 million) should finally start shooting later this year. The fourth part of the famous saga, directed by
George Miller will have
Tom Hardy in the lead role and
Charlize Theron as Furiosa, a one armed warrior lady. Since the story is again set in a post-apocalyptic world, women, especially beautiful women, are scarce, so men have been locking them up in cages (I'm shocked, just as you are), and Abbey will be one of them. Young star
Nicholas Hoult (X-MEN FIRST CLASS, JACK THE GIANT KILLER) should also be the part of the cast.
HOLLYWOOD SPY HEADLINES
One of the more interesting of
the upcoming TV pilots, SyFy's sf project
DEFIANCE is quickly adding cast members so that the shooting of the
pilot could start later this April in Canada. According to "Digital Spy"
the story, set in a futuristic world ravaged by war between humans and
aliens, will follow Jeb Nolan (
Grant Bowler from TRUE
BLOOD), law-keeper
in the town of Defiance, a burgeoning place which becomes caught up in
the global conflict. "Vampire Diaries" star
Mia Kirshner will play Kenya, the sassy and confident "town madam". "Lost" actress
Fionnula
Flanagan will also appear in
DEFIANCE as Nicky, the former mayor of
Defiance, serving as a mentor to her successor Amanda, played by
"Dexter"'s
Julie Benz.
Meanwhile, "Deadline" reports today of another sf project: the first
book of
Patrick Ness' "Chaos Walking" trilogy titled
THE KNIFE OF NEVER
LETTING GO will get a movie adaptation over at
Lionsgate and it will
possibly develop into a film franchise. The story is set in a future
where humans are trying to colonize a planet similar to Earth. A bizarre
infection known as The Noise spreads throughout the planet, which makes
all human thought audible. When a corrupt dictator threatens to take
control of civilization, a young boy named Todd Hewitt is the only one
who can prevent the planet's complete devastation.

I'm always wary of supermodels turned actors. Can they act? Hmmmm...
ReplyDeleteSounds like some great shows are in the works, though. Yay
she probably cannot act, but she will just sit in a cage doing nothing....
Deletesit in a cage and look pretty, you mean ;)
Deleteif it's possible with her skeleton looks :(
DeleteA lot of really cool futuristic sci-first shows.I'll watch for them.
ReplyDeleteyou know I adore sci fi shows too :)
DeleteSomeone needs to slip a sandwich into Abbey Lee Kershaw's cage.
ReplyDeleteyou're reading my mind, sister. She is one of those skeleton models :((( And to think she is replacing gorgeous Teresa Palmer...
DeleteI have The Knife of Never Letting Go. I haven't read it yet, but I've heard good things.
ReplyDeleteMad Max does sound mighty expensive to make!
tell us if it was good when you read it :)
DeleteYou really think Mad Max without Mel Gibson or even with Mel Gibson would ever make that kind of money back? That is kind of ridiculous. Julie Benz hmmmm now there is one that almost rivals Kate, may watch just for her.
ReplyDeleteHey cat, look at this! The reply buttons work for me and they don't smell like poo after I'm gone. I must be a magical creature!
DeleteIt worked for me here and it was just at Blabber's mat. But now I'm back of Google too. I told you I would set things right after the penguin man tried to ruin me.
Delete@Cat
Deleteprobably not, but people seem to like brutality these days and this one seems to be very brutal ,so who knows... It will probably do better around the world than in USA
@Annzie
Deleteyou is an Irish unicorn :)
Better around then world than in the USA? Aren't they supposed to be the violent ones?
DeleteI didn't mean the violent side, but the fact that it will be an epic :) Epics always do better around the world.
DeleteI love the way you say Epic Dez. It makes me feel all tingly and warm inside.
Deletelol :)))
DeleteHmm do I even want to go there? Such an Epic affair.
Deleteoh, please, Cat, admit it that you tingle inside when you see me too :PPPP
DeletePffft NEVER! that is ebil.
Deleteyou do, you do... I see it in your eyes LOL
DeleteEh lionsgate not my favorite but they make good movies
ReplyDeleteLOL that's kinda paradoxical :)
DeleteThere is no way I could watch the Mad Max movie. Women in cages, they've got to be kidding. I'd be willing to check out Defiance though as it's set in Canada and Canada is a beautiful place and a wonderful country full of friendly people.
ReplyDeletewell, it's not like you wouldn't like a certain Dornan or Eoin caged beside your bed :)))
DeleteYep, friendly people and lots of cats :)
At least one cat that will squash the alliance flat. And Mad Max without Gibson, pfft screw that.
DeleteAnnzie, look how ebil he is, we're giving compliments to his country and I even add his feliness in the comment, and he attacks us?!? Ebil, ebil, pure ebil!
Delete@Cat
Delete"Screw"? Are you sure it's not your mating season, cat? Such expressions and words....
I would chain either one of those men to my bed and use them till they couldn't walk. But that's different, because they're men and would love to be made into sex slaves.
DeleteCat you've just proven that the Alliance has justification for eliminating you from the planet. Next time I'll say Canada is fabulous, but too bad there's an arse licking cat that screws it all up.
that's true, most men wouldn't really complain LOL
DeleteThe cat just has to screw up any truce... I shouldn't have said "screw", it will make him horny again....
I think he experiences severe sexual frustration because he's been snip snipped. Just because the removed his bollox doesn't mean he doesn't have urges. He's just confused about what they are and is tormented by them. We should send him naughty pictures of female felines and the sit back and watch his head explode.
Deletelets make it a more devilish plan and send him pics of male felines too :)
DeleteLOL I say one little word and the alliance goes way out there, you now see why no truce can be had? You have to be stopped more than the cat.
Deletelittle word big ebil!
DeleteDezzy - I'll be sure to check out DEFIANCE. It's sic-fi after all, and I love me some sic-fi. How have you been? I've been hunkered down in the writing cave, and barely poke my head out to smell the fresh air, let alone anything else. But I was thinking of you today. Hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteit was a very hectic week since I've decided to make this year a year of changes, so I'm fighting on all kinds of fronts :) Hope your writing is going good!
DeleteDefiance sounds intriguing! I may need to check that one out... :)
ReplyDeleteit could be very interesting!:)
DeleteHi Dezzy! Man, I almost forgot about MAD MAX: FURY ROAD. It's been so long in development hell, but I hope that'll happen as I like Hardy and it'd be great to see him w/ the sultry Charlize.
ReplyDeletethey would be such a sexy combination, wouldn't they?
DeleteThat women looks a bit too thin, seems like she has a very real threat of breaking in half at any moment.
ReplyDeleteyep, she's one of those horrible skeleton models :(
DeleteMan, I didn't even know they were making another Mad Max. Thank god Gibson has nothing to do with it.
ReplyDeletewe shall praise God every day for it :)
DeleteVery much looking forward to Mad Max!! :-)
ReplyDeleteglad to hear it, Scottie!
DeleteI hope Defiance is a hit as we need some good sci-fi on TV again!
ReplyDeleteamen to that, Lurk
Deletei've always had a soft spot for julie benz. i think it's the way she speaks... there's something undeniably fragile about her, even while she's playing fierce roles.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen her in anything so far, but through today's comments, I see she has fans :)
DeleteThe Knife of Never Letting Go sounds very interesting (wish they'd shorten the name LOL). And for the life of me, even after I looked up Grant Bowler, I didn't recognize his face at all. Pretty sad for a person who claims to be an avid True Blood fan, huh?
ReplyDeleteI don't know whom he plays in TRUE BLOOD, Elsie, and can't help you on that one, but I think he is Australian, I believe I've seen him in their projects. Love me Down Under stars!
DeleteTom Hardy as Mad Max> hmmm I have never heard it before.
ReplyDeleteI sort of wish he would play another challenging character like the one I have recently seen
Yep, he's the new Mad Max. He needs a big lead role in his career
Deletewho is this Abbey Kershaw and why don't I already know about her.
ReplyDeleteA skinny fashion model :) An answer on both questions :)
DeleteOh goody, another Mad Maxx movie. I wonder if it will be as good without Mel Gibson though. Blogger took a long time to scroll past Abby's figure, and all I could think is "it must hurt to be that skinny." She'd make a good mermaid though :)
ReplyDeleteI was visiting Clarissa a bit ago and followed your music link. That was beautiful. I love how all the musicians slowly appear on stage. The singer has an awesome voice too.
I also clicked on The Ruslan Wild Dance. OMG, they had whips :) lol. But I did enjoy the beat. Who can ignore a good drum song. Now you've got me wanting to spend some time on U-tube, listing to drums, and violins, and Irish folk dance. I'm too busy for that nonsence Dezzy. Please quit distracting me :)
...........dhole
PS: I noticed that Serbian video is missing from your blog; did they win?
it does hurt, Donnzie, not eating anything hurts like hell :)
DeleteThat's our most famous musician Zeljko Joksimovic, he makes elven music filled with profound love and sentiments. True art, we almost always have such elven songs competing in big competitions and we usually get high scores :)
Ruslana actually won over Zeljko that year, and it was one of the biggest scandals. Nobody listens to her yelling now, and Zeljko's song is still the most popular EUROSONG song ever.
Nope, the competition is in May :)
Mad Max four? sounds like it will be awesome! Woman in cages? I know it will be awesome!!
ReplyDeletejust don't raise your hopes up, the production still hasn't started :)
DeleteLocking up women in cages... is that a fact? Would that be cages with a toilet, shower, bath tub, king size bed and room service, I wonder.
