ELENA SATINE IN THE SIXTH GUN SF SHOW
In TV news, upcoming sf show THE SIXTH GUN has added mindblowing
beauty Elena Satine to the cast! The supernatural Western follows the
story of six mythical guns, each with its own other worldly powers. When
the Sixth Gun, the most powerful and dangerous of the group, resurfaces
in the hands of an innocent girl, Becky Montcrief (Laura Ramsey), dark
forces re-awaken. "Deadline" writes that Satine will play the “widow”
Missy Hume, a powerful Madame who runs the town of Brimstone kept
unnaturally youthful by being in possession of the Fifth Gun. A cold
stunningly beautiful woman of great cunning, she is unafraid to use
whatever means to collect all Six Guns for her own dark purposes.
ANCIENT ROME SITCOM PLEBS
Here is something hilarious in an epic way, and I mean literally - a new sitcom set in the epic times of ancient Rome! I have already written before about the new comedy PLEBS but it is now ready to premiere at ITV2 in six half hour episodes! PLEBS will be a thoroughly modern comedy with an ancient setting. The series will follow three desperate young men from the suburbs as they try to get laid, hold down jobs and climb the social ladder in the big city – a city that just happens to be Ancient Rome! The series stars Tom Rosenthal (Friday Night Dinner), Joel Fry (White Van Man, Trollied) and Ryan Sampson (Work Experience, After You’ve Gone) as the three young men – Marcus, Stylax and their lazy slave with a major attitude problem, Grumio. Doon Mackichan (Smack The Pony) also stars, as the boys’ ruthless boss, Flavia - an expert manipulator with a private life that's the stuff of legend. A sexy newcomer called Cynthia played by Sophie Colquhoun (The Inbetweeners Movie, Switch) soon joins the boys as she moves into the flat next door along with her sarcastic slave Metella played by Lydia Rose Bewley (The Inbetweeners Movie).
Rome is traditionally imagined as the home of emperors and senators, generals and gladiators, a dignified theatre of pomp and ceremony. But what about the little guys, the wasters - new to the big city, stuck in office jobs, unable to get the girls? Unlikely to be immortalized in the annals or memorialized in a frieze, Marcus, Stylax and Grumio are essentially just a bunch of Plebs. And whether they’re wearing togas, or skinny jeans, desperate young men in any period of history are essentially cut from the same cloth.
Looking forward to the Plebs myself.
ReplyDeleteshould be fun the ancient way :)
Deletewell, as a matter of fact we do like Hugh but he should really quit scowling like that; he'd look ever so much handsomer if he'd smile a little! And plebs looks hilarious.
ReplyDeleteI like it when a man smolders....makes me go all tingly inside:)
Delete@Marcy
DeleteI have the same problem as Hugh - I often scowl like that and have a nasty line there which I must erase with facial creams :)
@Annzie
Deleteand Hugh is an angel even when he smolders :)
The Plebs sounds great! And since it's coming from ITV2 Netflix will carry it fairly quick. And ITV2 doesn't seem to have a problem with their stuff being put on Youtube. I watch loads of stuff from there on Youtube and it's legal downloads.
ReplyDeleteGod, Hugh looks magnificent in that photo. His eyes are so intensely emotional there. He must be picturing me naked....
Anne, your comments are great.
DeleteNever heard of ITV2. Sounds good. TLC is a real pain about letting their newer stuff be on YouTube.
@Annzie
Deletewe love it when they go YouTube :)
I bet he is :P
@Ivy
DeleteITV is a British channel :P
I thinks me stepped in a "Plebs", let me takes a looky-loo... yup on the bottom ofs us shoes...
ReplyDeleteElena Satine, oh happy day!
I knew she would make you happy :) And quite a character she plays in the new show....
DeleteMental-Happy-Dance!!!
Deleteyou can leave your hat on....
DeletePlebs...what a strange concept. But the clips were kind of funny in a crude way. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd Hugh has this look in his eye like he just saw some blond, Irish lady naked. :P
they doing it epic in a whole new but yet ancient way LOL
DeleteAnnzie would agree with your premonition :)
The videos are hilarious...smiles ~
ReplyDeleteAlso love that photo of Hugh, one of my fav stars ~
Hope you are feeling better Dezzy ~
Glad you liked today's offer, Grace :)
DeleteThanks, a bit better, taking out stitches in a few days one by one :)
I am not down with Hugh's hair like that...it makes me think...well, I just don't like it. His new movie sounds really good!
ReplyDeleteAnd yay for a new show that I think I will enjoy! I actually laughed out loud. For real!
ooh, sorry to hear that, Mel, I kinda like that younger look of him, not that he isn't dashing with short hair too.
DeleteHe's still pretty!
Deletethe perdiest of them all :) Have you see his wife, though? What a deeply strange couple, not that I don't prefer the combination of differences especially in looks when it comes to relationships :)
DeleteA sitcom based in ancient Rome? That will tank.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it will, Brits have sense of humour....
DeleteIt took me a very long time to get past Hugh. What a delicious man!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could see Plebs, it sounds like a lot of fun.
maybe some of the US channels that air British shows will air it?
