JOSEPH FIENNES, JOHN HURT IN HERCULES
And even more nice people are joining Dwayne Johnson's new epic
HERCULES in which he will play the title role of Hercules who will be portrayed more as a
warrior and less as a demigod. After Ian McShane and Rufus Sewell have
joined the cast, new additions are equally exciting: Joseph Fiennes,
John Hurt and Rebecca Ferguson! Joseph Fiennes will play the pampered
king who assigns Hercules his labors. Ian McShane is playing
Amphiarus, who is equal parts priest, prophet and warrior who counsels
Hercules. John Hurt will play the weary ruler of Thrace, while Rebecca
Ferguson (whom you shall watch this summer in new epic show THE WHITE QUEEN) will play his daughter, a healer. Rufus Sewell will
play Autolycus the son of the messenger god Hermes!
WENTWORTH MILLER PENS SCARE ME!
Another face that everybody likes, super talented and charismatic
Wentworth Miller, who went from being a TV star without a gig to a
critically praised screenwriter (no wonder since he has an MA in
English), has another script to pen: he will adapt Richard Parker's
upcoming novel SCARE ME! Here's the plot: Wealthy businessman, Will
Frost, gets woken in the middle of the night by an anonymous caller,
asking him when did he last Google himself. When Will goes online, he
finds a website has been set up in his name, showing photographs of the
inside of his home, along with photographs of six houses he's never seen
before. In the first of these strange houses, a gruesome murder has
already taken place. Will is then told that his own family is in mortal
danger. The only way he can keep them safe is to visit each of the
houses on the website in person - before the police discover what has
happened there. Seven houses. Seven gruesome homicides. Seven chances to
save his daughter's life...
WORLD WAR Z NEW TRAILER
Yep, that's the extremely scary and super frightening new poster for WORLD WAR Z showing hordes of zombies so bloodthirsty that not even heights andair can stop them to eat up a helicopter! You can also check out the second trailer for the exciting and tense horror adventure which is ready to hit big screens this June starring Brad Pitt, Matthew Fox and James Badge Dale in the story which revolves around United Nations employee Gerry Lane (Pitt), who traverses the world in a race against time to stop the Zombie pandemic that is toppling armies and governments and threatening to decimate humanity itself. As you can see from the poster and from the trailer, building up mountains with their bodies and swarming in hordes is the favourite pastime of zombies! There's also an extremely intense airplane scene in the trailer!
zombies rule...
ReplyDeleteand other things too... sadly i wanted to make first show to your comments. woo-hoo, I am a winner...
Deleteyou is ever so fast today, Zombie Master, fast enough to swarm up to the chopper :)
DeleteHercules sounds good -- I wonder who will play the Queen of the Amazons? One of Hercules' labours was to steal her girdle (fancy belt), you probably remember.
ReplyDeletethis film will not follow his mythical adventures, Debs, but will see him as a paid mercenary and warrior who works for the king of Thrace :)
DeleteCharlize has such a broad range as an actress and isn't afraid to take risks. Me likes her.
ReplyDeleteI'll give Warrior Z a pass as Brad Pitt makes me ill and the film looks a bit over the top in the violence department.
yep, it seems the zombie hordes in that movie are over the top....
DeleteToo much of a good thing can be a bad thing.
Deleteexcept in love :)
DeleteHer boyfriend's inability to commit to the relationship? He must be blind and dumb. I know, it's a movie. ;)
ReplyDeletein real life it was the opposite - Stuart Townsend, her boyfriend of many years, wanted to marry her, but she didn't want to commit and they broke of :(
DeleteWhat are the odds....
Deleteit is a sad story :( She and her mother were molested by Charlize's father when she was growing up in South Africa and in one moment her mother killed him. I think this is why she is afraid of commitments.
DeleteThat is sad.
Delete:(
DeleteThat clip for World War Z is crazy! There's bodies flying everywhere!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm very excited to see Charlize Theron in the new Mad Max. :)
yep, those zombies seem unstoppable....
DeleteThe Walking Dead has taught Zombie movie makers that just blood and gore (Resident Evil) doesn't make a good movie. I think I'll like WWZ.
ReplyDelete......dhole
methinks it might be a bit difficult for us who watch THE WALKING DEAD to watch WWZ too since zombies are totally different here....
DeleteI read it wrong at first, I thought I read, Miller's Pants scare me.
ReplyDeletebut those are some really lovely pants on him :)
DeleteI had the same reaction at that first split second. But knowing Dezzie, I thought no, he can't be scared of pants.
DeleteHe looks very clean.
Deleteyep, never scared of pants and undies :)
DeleteThat is Wenty posing for a Gap commercial methinks....
I am all aboard for WWZ and can't wait to see it. My nephew and I will be first in line LOL. Wentworth's screenplay sounds deliciously terrifying and I'll be there to see it, too, probably.
ReplyDeleteMs Theron is looking lovelier and lovelier. i'm happy she's doing so well.
that's Charlize's picture from a wristwatch advert :)
DeleteWWZ will do well
ReplyDeletemost probably
DeleteI'm excited for WWZ. The book was pretty good so I'm hoping they retain the creativity and tension that was in it.
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed, Damien
DeleteNot a big Pitt fan but I do like zombies so...we'll see what rotten tomatoes has to say. I do like miss Charlize and boy isn't she pretty? Some girls have all the luck.
ReplyDeletehope those zombies won't come anywhere near us... I prefer the slow ones from WALKING DEAD :)
DeleteAaaaahhh, Ms. Theron, another example of genetic perfection.
ReplyDeleteindeed
DeleteLooking forward to watching World War Z.. Have been wanting for a good zombie movie for a while now!
ReplyDeleteshould be a good one!
DeleteScare Me, baby! Sounds right up my alley. Anything with Charlize will get a nod from me.
ReplyDeleteAs always you keep me in the Hollywood loop - I've been reading, but not commenting as mummsie gots me tied up! I'm her personal chef...and I'm getting reallllly good with my knives. (run mummsie run) hahahaha
Cheers,Jenny
Mummsie is the new Governator and you is her new subject? :)
DeleteToo true...and if only I was Linda Hamilton (in the second Terminator...mean piece of work) - but, you know me...all love and cuddles. (hahahaha - like in my dream)
DeleteI think I might start calling her "Arnie" instead of "Muttie" - see what stories might come of it...ever in need of post ideas!
does Muttie have special cooking wishes - like making you cook her sauer kraut and sausages :) or baking her famous Austrian Saher cake (nom nom)? :)
DeleteSacher cake:
Deletehttp://media.lunch.com/d/d7/260925.png?2
I often make it to my customers - easy peasy and tastes like heaven!
Yum...no, double Yum...
DeleteI love all things done Austrian baking style - and mummsie was the very best baker...her "subject" (aka me) is not of her ilk, sad to say.
I confess.."baking" is not my passion - as described here! and HERE!! - You might be surprised but my best friend is Frau Crocker! (aka Betty) :P
yep, love Sacher, although my fave would be Schwarzwald cake :) German, not Austrian, but most of us don't see the difference between those two lots LOL
DeleteWhat a great trailer and an excellent poster.
ReplyDeleteI shivered when I first saw the poster! So terrifying!
DeleteThat does look a great film, can't wait!!!
ReplyDeleteglad you like it, Ray! An exciting new trailer later today as well!
DeleteInteresting stuff coming out. Thanks for the updates, Dez.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know the Rock was doing a Hercules flick.
Best, Dean
Be welcome, Dean, glad you liked today's news :)
DeleteHERCULES should be a cool one, and it also has a rival project - so we are getting two of those :)
ZOMBEEEEZ ...a zombie apocalypse movie - how bad can that be? (Don't answer that!!!) After watching The Walking Dead on TV I have developed a taste for the genre (film that is, not brains) so will give this one a try. That's a gorgeous pic of the uber hawt Charlize too. Hot as hell and a brilliant actor to boot.
ReplyDeleteThank you Chika Dez ;-)
