Coogan will lead the cast in tragic drama PHILOMENA which is to be directed by famous Stephen Frears (who worked with almost all lady legends - with Dench in MRS HENDERSON PRESENTS, with Helen Mirren in THE QUEEN and with Glenn Close in DANGEROUS LIAISONS). It will be the true story of an Irish woman whose son was sold for adoption in America, and their attempts to reunite with each other. Dench will play the title role in this movie adaptation of Martin Sixsmith's book "The Lost Child of Philomena Lee: A Mother, Her Son and a 50 Year Search", which describes how PHILOMENA was forced by nuns to give up her son Anthony when he was 3. Anthony was sold for adoption in America, where he grew up to be a successful lawyer and politician. In the 1980s, after he contracted AIDS, he visited Ireland in an attempt to find his mother.

Elizabeth. Now "The Wrap" reports that Ben Kingsley might take the role of king Herod. Other rumours suggest that the above mentioned Judi Dench (bow immediately) might take the role of Anna the Prophetess, while "Downton Abbey" star Hugh Bonneville is wanted for Satan.

HOLLYWOOD SPY HEADLINES
One of the best music producers and singers One Republic's Ryan Tedder (beside One Republic's hit APOLOGIZE, he also wrote Leona Lewis' BLEEDINGLOVE, Beyonce's HALO, Jordin Sparks' BATTLEFIELD, and he wrote for Adele as well) has accidentally revealed that he has heard Adele's James Bond song and that it is a mindblowing piece, the best OO7 song ever. Titled LET THE SKY FALL, the song is said to hit the public on October 5th, on global James Bond Day. Meanwhile, one of our favourite GAME OF THRONES and ROBIN HOOD stars, ever so delightful Harry Lloyd will star in British TV series THE FEAR with Peter Mullan as crime boss Richie Beckett who struggles with a mafia feud, early onset dementia and issues within his own family. There are also rumours
that Oscar winning THE KING'S SPEECH might get a sequel which would deal with the difference in the lives of the king's family and the family of his speech therapist during the war and the ongoing poverty. Colin Firth, Geoffrey Rush and Helena Bonham Carter will all return to their original roles.
That's more Daniel Radcliffe than I've ever wanted to see!!! Lol lol
ReplyDeleteDid you watch Once Upon a Time?????
can't believe you're complaining :P
DeleteNope, will wait for a few episodes to air before I hit Torrents. Is it really true that they've killed prince Phillip in the first episode already???
To be honest, I wasn't impressed with Once Upon a Time or the new show 666. Revenge was good!!
DeleteYes, it's true :( :(
I have a feeling though that it's about to get juicier!!!
I cannot stand the thought of watching Julian Morris only in one episode :(((
DeleteWoah! I was clicking on here to follow up on the gala but just got sidetracked by that picture of Daniel...my laws! Dezzy you finally left me speechless AND blushing! I'll be back in a moment when I've composed myself. LOL
ReplyDeletedon't let the kids see it /avoidingtheembarrasingmoment/ :)
Delete*stillfanningself*
DeleteI almost gave my daughter an early education - not that she'd mind seeing Harry Potter almost in the buff =P
early education LOL :) It's not like Daniel has something that other boys don't...
DeleteThat was a lot of bowing =P
ReplyDeleteI love the story of PHILOMENA. I'm such a sucker for that kind of thing. Perhaps because I'm adopted myself. It sounds like it's going to be very heartwarming.
you always bow in front of cinematic royalty :)
DeleteFortunately you weren't stolen away by evil nuns and priests, that lot has been the nest of evil especially up in Ireland and Britain :(
Thank goodness I was blessed by being adopted by fantastic parents. My dad rocked and mom did her best.
Deleteyep, your parents were obviously amazing people. Everybody who adopts is amazing.
DeleteOh my goodness...my eyes. THEY BURN!! I feel like some kind of criminal for seeing that much Daniel Radcliffe!
ReplyDeletewell, it's not like I went and stripped him off myself :) He showed us his pubes by his own choice :) You do know he is totally naked full monty in that horse play in the theatre?
DeleteI know, I know....but he will always be that little kid to me and I feel like some kind of criminal looking!
Deletewell, why are you looking then? :PPP
DeleteAnother beautiful picture of Adele. Can't wait to hear the song! Also, a sequel to King's Speech would be interesting to me.
ReplyDeleteAnd, yeah, I'm just a little creeped out by the Daniel Radcliffe photo. Just because I still think of him as a kid, and I don't want to see his furry parts.
Gah, and your page keeps jumping around like it has the hiccups! Think it's caused by your banners all being different sizes.
it is also from VOGUE :) They say the song will sound ominous with lots of horns :) I will be posting the video Friday afternoon :)
DeleteHe probably should've trimmed the fur a bit, not that I don't like fur (only human fur off course).
Yep, it is because LIFE OF PI banner is big, I'm taking it down tonight and will put the one for next Sunday's post :)
PLEASE somebody get Daniel a weed wacker to trim that overgrown shrub!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteyou're not a shrub lover? :)
DeleteCan't wait to hear the new Adele song and yes, that is quite a lot of Daniel Radcliffe! Agree with LG; it is a little creepy only because I still think of him as HP.
ReplyDeletehe appears full naked in a theatre play in London, and I mean full naked.
DeleteOh dear Dezz I love July Dench but Im not sure that I like the Daniel R. naked ugh!!
DeleteMaybe I like more when he was Happy Postter this is OTHER Daniel LOL
oh dear!
sorry for shocking you, Gloria Dear :)
DeleteI do like the storyline of Philomena and I am eagerly awaiting Adele's song for SkyFall, another one of my fav movies to watch ~
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update Dez ~
hope it will be a great song, they say it might even run for Oscars.... Hope it doesn't disappoint!
DeleteI loved The King's speech
ReplyDeleteit had nice acting
DeleteAll these movies sound good! And I assume that photo of Daniel Radcliffe is from Equus.
ReplyDeleteit is, Debs, it's from EQUUS!
DeleteFrodo, posing nude? Like, wow! Seriously though, I hope whatever his next adventure is is better than Wilfred. I have a stream of not nice words for that show, and I only watched a couple episodes. A waste of talent . .
ReplyDeleteJudi Dench gets me excited though :) Awesome actress. Philomenia sounds like my kind of drama.
And, where's the music trailer for Let The Sky Fall? Even when I'm not into the movies (Casino Royale was a huge disappointment) the music has always been awesome.
.......dhole
LOL that's not Frodo, but Harry Plopper, Donnzie, but I love the mistake :)))
DeleteWe do adore Judi Dench!
As the post says, song for Bond comes this Friday :)
Hi, Dez,
ReplyDeleteJudi Dench will be AWESOME in this role. What a tragic story. How sad that after all those years her son is dying from aids. She is an AMAZING actress and will bring so much to this role.
Daniel's looking a bit furrier that usual ... LOL.
Nice to visit you Dez... You'll be seeing more of me. Your blog is always so entertaining,
Michael
hey, Michael, thanks for visiting, hope you like the menu and the staff :)
DeleteJudi is the best out there! The best!
I am DYING to hear the new Bond song! I love Adele! Why can't it be Oct 5 yet??? :)
ReplyDeleteit's around the corner :) Hope it doesn't disappoint!
DeleteSo, why is Daniel Radcliffe naked? I don't get it. ._.
ReplyDeleteit's a picture from a theatre play in which his willy flies around the stage full nude :)
DeleteI had no idea there was a global James Bond Day.
ReplyDeleteSometimes the pictures here give me a surprise as I scroll down, ha ha. :)
it seems spies have their global day, somebody should start global HOLLYWOOD SPY day too! :)
DeleteWould love to have pictures of all of your faces when you scroll down this site :)
That Philomena story sounds fascinating! And I must say, that's more of Daniel Radcliffe than I ever really wanted to see.
ReplyDeleteit should be an amazing drama, methinks. Avert the eyes, avert the eyes :)
DeleteYes, I bowed to Ms. Dench. I can't wait for the new Bond movie.
ReplyDeleteyou must always bow to HRH Dench :)
