LIAM HEMSWORTH IN
CUT BANK & ARABIAN NIGHTS
The youngest member of the Hemsworth family, and the youngest brother of Chris the Thor, Liam Hemsworth has two new gigs: he will join CUT BANK a crime thriller in which he will play a man who dreams of leaving his hometown of Cut Bank, Montana. His attempt to leave triggers a deadly series of events that change the town and his life forever. The film will be quite star studded since the cast also has John Malkovich, Ben Kingsley, Michael Sheen and Teresa Palmer. Two years ago I also informed you that Liam is set to star with Anthony Hopkins in ARABIAN NIGHTS epic adventure. The production has been greenlit by Chinese authorities and the American Chinese project will start shooting this August. The $70 million movie will be a visually stunning 3D retelling of the classic adventure tale about a bold, young commander who joins forces with Sinbad, Aladdin and his Genie to rescue Scheherazade and save her kingdom from the dark powers of an immortal sorcerer.

ooooooooo I love the sound of Arabian Nights!
ReplyDeleteshould be a good and exotic one :)
DeleteYup, my vote goes to Arabian Nights, too - I love exotic locations :)
ReplyDeleteOh, and Melissa McCarthy would be perfect for the lead role in the book I'm currently reading - if only someone would make the movie!
and we haven't seen much of Arabian themes ever since PRINCE OF PERSIA SANDS OF TIME, which sadly flop even though it wasn't such a bad film.
DeleteI love the idea of an Arabian Nights movie too. Wow, those Hemsworths did get good genes, didn't they?
ReplyDeleteAlso, that is a wonderful picture of Melissa McCarthy. Just the right amount of retouching. :)
sadly, the oldest one isn't as perdy as Chris and Liam :)
DeleteThat's from her THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER shoot :)
Interesting that Arabian Nights is being made. Love that Anthony Hopkins is the lead--I guess he's the lead.
ReplyDeleteI'm a real Melissa McCarthy fan.
He will probably play a magician or something :)
DeleteLove Melissa McCarthy!
ReplyDeletewe do love her heaps
Deletewait... what happened. loves me my melissa!
ReplyDeleteWhat what happened? Me is not informed either....
DeleteArabian Nights??? I love the original. That will be interesting indeed.
ReplyDeletequite possibly
DeleteWhat a gorgeous picture of Melissa who is so amazing!!!!
ReplyDeleteit's from her THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER photo shoot
DeleteThat last one reminds me that German officers didn't mind trying to go after all those French women.
ReplyDeletewhy would they?
DeleteThere were many thousands of French women involved with German men in the four years of occupation - their well documented and often cruel fate after liberation equally well known - is the Nemirovsky book a tragedy? It will be interesting to see how the film-maker treats such a story in light of the modern predilection for re-writing history!
ReplyDeleteand not just French women but women in many other countries. In my country a number of those ladies who slept with the Nazi aggressors were taken to streets and squares by the women whose husbands and sons were killed in the war and were then stripped naked, beaten and their heads shaved.
DeleteHm, this is a different view on events during WW2. I've only heard of this once and it was from a teacher who was an old war buff.
ReplyDeleteevery war has many interesting, and deeply disturbing, stories, both saddening and inspiring.
DeleteI'd love to see this film. I adore Michelle and Matthias is HOT. And you know I just love Melissa M. Great woman!
ReplyDeleteMatthias really is Schoe and Nae and definitely Rts :)
