NEW THE SAINT TV SHOW
The first trailer has been released around the web for upcoming new action spy series
THE SAINT which will be offered to networks at the international sale next week. The small screen adaptation of
Leslie Charteris' famous spy book from the 70s stars exquisitely seductive
Adam Rayner (Huston, methinks we have a new star to obsess about and stalk) as legendary spy Simon Templar with a whole bunch of famous names in the cast too: famous James Bond
Roger Moore, German star
Thomas Kretschmann and
Eliza Dushku. The series is directed by
Simon West. You've seen British hunk
Adam Rayner before in TV shows HAWTHORNE, MISTRESSES and MIRANDA. It is interesting that the plans to make a TV remake of
THE SAINT have been present since 2009 and both
Dougray Scott and
James Purefoy were seen in the lead roles in previous two attempts.
THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS CITY OF BONES POSTERS
Now, I perfectly do not care about this film (YA just ain't my cup of Earl Gray Tea with a dash of lemon and honey) but I do love my dear
Lily
Collins who has shined like a gem in each film we've seen her so far. Check out two new posters for her new film
THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS: CITY OF BONES which hits the big screens this August. One of the posters shows Lily's character, Clary Fray, a young woman who learns she comes from a long line of demon slayers known as Shadowhunters, and the other shows
Jamie Campbell Bower (who single handedly ruined CAMELOT with his wimpy and Neely immature acting) as Jace Wayland, one of the Shadowhunters Clary teams up with. The movie adaptation of
Cassandra Clare's book follows a seemingly ordinary teenage girl, Clary
Fray, who, after her mom is attacked and taken from their home in New York City by a demon, finds out truths about her past and bloodline on her quest to get her back, that changes her entire life. As a half-angelic being charged with protecting the world from demons she will descend into a New York City underworld known as Darkworld, full of demons and other creatures she never knew existed! The cast has some really lovely names from Irish heartthrobs
Jonathan Rhys Meyers and
Aidan Turner to
Kevin Durand,
Lena Headey and
Kevin Zegers!
Interesting to see Roger Moore returning to the world of The Saint - hopefully they give him a decent role, and not just a wasted cameo. Just the fact that he's on board (unlike Peter Graves in Mission Impossible) gives me hope.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure, but I think Moore is actually behind this whole new series as a producer or something.
Deletelily is the daughter to phil... she is precious, let us spend the day talking to her... are you game.
ReplyDeleteshe is, she probably has her mother genes.... a precious lily she is!
DeleteWhen I was a kid, I loved Roger Moore as "The Saint" -- glad to see he's got a cameo in the new series!
ReplyDeleteglad you like it, Debs!
Deletelol And I'm definitely looking forward to City of Bones. I really enjoyed the first three books of the series (where I think it should have ended), and I'm especially loving the steampunk Infernal Devices series.
ReplyDeleteI think my hubby would agree with you. He'd want to see The Saint instead.
I know the book is popular among the younger crowd, Donna :)
DeleteI probably won't watch SAINT, but I do like the actor :)
Fantastic trailer THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS: CITY OF BONES
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing Dezmond
Greetings
be welcome, Vincent!
DeleteOoohhhh City of Bones looks good.
ReplyDeleteglad you likey!
DeleteIf Adam Rayner is a problem, I'm not sure I want a solution. :P
ReplyDeleteAnd I remember The Saint. I used to watch that as a kid.
And I'd probably only watch City of Bones to see Aiden Turner and Lena Headey. Two of my favs.
he's never a problem in my realm, and even if he was I'd gladly solve him :)
DeleteYep, it will be fun seeing Aidan, Lena and Rhys Meyers in the film next to Lily.
As you can guess, I'm liking the City of Bones ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd I hope that one day I can offer you a YA book you'd enjoy :)
you can try :)
Deletechallenge accepted!
DeleteYou'll LOVE my book ;)
hope you know what you're getting yourself into, sister :)
DeleteVal Kilmer played the Saint in a movie back in the 90's. I own and I loved it in spite of many people thinking I am weird like that. I'd love a new series.
ReplyDeleteyep, I've seen tones of mocking comments on the Val Kilmer version around the net these days with the revival of the project.
DeleteThat MI trailer is amazing ~ I hope I won't be disappointed with the acting ~
ReplyDeleteGood to see you Dezzy ~ As to your question about the knife, I just wanted to end with a strong image, a knife does that better than the pen ~
thanks for the explanation, Grace :) I didn't know what was the message behind that image.
DeleteI used to love that series when I was a kid. I'll still watch it for the sets, the fashion and those fabulous cars. Hope this is as good as the original.
ReplyDeletefingers crossed, the lead actor sure is worth seeing the show :) Although I don't like Eliza who is a bad omen and all of her shows have been doomed in the past.
DeleteI love me some Earl Grey tea too! Little bit of sugar and a little bit of milk, yummy! Adam Rayner is just as yummy and he needs no sugar =)
ReplyDeleteI drink tea with lemon juice and honey or sweetener, not the English way with milk :)
DeleteAgreed on no sugar on Adam :)
For me, you'll always be Snow White. (The lady, Dezz. The lady. :p
ReplyDeleteyep, I'm more of a magical shroom from ALICE IN WONDERLAND..... or a timid dragon from that famous old cartoon about a timid dragon that loves cakes and tea :)
DeleteLily will always be our Snow White... she was so deeply enchanting in that film. She's my new pet star :)
