NIKOLAJ COSTER WALDAU
IN GODS OF EGYPT
He's one of the most despised people from epic fantasy shows since in GAME OF THRONES he plays the evil Jaime Lannister who is capable of pushing a kid through a window, but privately I'm sure Nikolaj Coster Waldau is a nice chap. And he has a new gig. He is apparently in negotiations to take the lead role in epic adventure GODS OF EGYPT to be directed by Alex Proyas. In the science fiction film based on mythology Nikolaj would play the god Horus, who joins up with the goddess Hathor and a human thief in order to avenge the death of his father Osiris. The script is being written by the same people who are doing Luke Evans' DRACULA for Universal. We've recently seen Nikolaj in OBLIVION next to Tom 
Cruise and he is currently shooting THE OTHER WOMAN in which Cameron Diaz realizes she is not her boyfriend's primary lover and teams up with his wife (Leslie Mann) to plot mutual revenge!
' FABLES' COMIC
MOVIE ADAPTATION
Hollywood Reporter writes that the movie adaptation of Vertigo's
comic book FABLES has found its director: Nikolaj Arcer (that's a
popular name today :), who directed Danish historical drama ROYAL AFFAIR
will helm the picture to be produced by HARRY PLOPPERS David Heyman. The story centres on fairy and folk tale characters ranging from Snow
White and Cinderella, Prince Charming, Beaut and the Beast, to the Big
Bad Wolf and Little Boy Blue, who are kicked out of their world and now
live in a secret pocket of New York City. There were previous attempts
to make a film and even a TV show out of this material.

BURTON AND TAYLOR
HELENA BONHAM CARTER & DOMINIC WEST
Today you can also check out the first, rather stunning, picture of Helena Bonham Carter and Dominic West as Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton in new BBC drama BURTON AND TAYLOR! The 90 minute drama, which will also air at BBC America, focuses on the
volatile ex-couple's
ill-fated appearance in a 1983 revival of Noel Coward's Private
Lives. They were married and divorced twice. I'm rather surprised with
how Helena looks identical to Liz! I never would've imagine it!

THE FAMILY TRAILER
ROBERT DE NIRO, MICHELLE PFEIFFER, DIANA AGRON
Your trailer for today is from new action drama THE FAMILY in which Robert De Niro, Michelle Pfeiffer and Diana Agron play a mobster family. Directed by Luc Besson and produced by Martin Scorcese the film will see De Niro playing a mobster who joins witness protection programme after his mafia turns on him and is relocated to Normandy, France, where he and his wife and daughter find it difficult to give up their corrupt ways and lay low. John D'Leo plays the son of the family, Tommy Lee Jones is also in the cast in the film inspired by Tonino Benacquista's novel "Malavita". The film is out this September! I can't say I like the overly violent trailer.
Helena does look a lot like Liz! I'm impressed!
ReplyDelete'tis true, I've never seen Helena looking so posh and all lovely :)
Deletefables might be good
ReplyDeletequite possibly
DeleteThe Family , another good movie with De Niro , i like this actor .
ReplyDeleteCheers
I knew you do :)
DeleteFables, interesting... you all the comic book or graphic novels is open game to the billion dollar pay out... who will be the next success story?
ReplyDeleteI fancy a film about moi would be a billion dollar success :)
Deletetwo billions...
Deleteand that is why you will be my executive producer :P
DeleteGods of Egypt sounds like it could be a lot of fun. Fables could be great as well, but it has to be marketed properly - last thing I'd want is for people to dismiss it as a Once Upon a Time rip-off, when it's really the other way around. ;)
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed for GOD OF EGYPT, I'd really adore me an Egyptian mythology adventure! Didn't have any since STARGATE movie. FABLES were supposed to be made into a series for ABC but they've chosen ONCE UPON A TIME instead :)
DeleteIs Nikolai one of the most despised characters in A Game of Thrones? I know Joffrey is, but from having read the books, I think there are quite a few fans out here of the Kingslayer.
ReplyDeletewell, I really don't know how can anybody be a fan of someone who kills kids and has sex with his own sister.... And that being and adult person. Joffrey at least has an excuse in being a kid, although we despise him too.
DeleteHow could anybody hate someone who looks as amazing as Nikolaj?
ReplyDeleteNikolaj not, but Jaime Lannister yes, indeed.
DeleteWAIT! (Softy:) Did you say Little Boy Blue?
ReplyDeleteI did! You is finally becoming a Hollywood character :P
DeleteOh no...a mobster family. How original. Plus violence? Zap moment.
DeleteI did deliberate for an hour or so whether to post the trailer or not, and posted it only because I know so many people love most of those actors in it. I'm not proud :(
DeleteI used to take De Niro seriously until he tried to be a comic actor and play the funny mobster. That makes me sick.
DeleteHopefully it's a good DeNiro movie for a change?
ReplyDeleteah, yes, I remember you didn't like his recent comedies :)
DeleteHmm...not sure about Dominic West as Burton.
ReplyDeleteOh...and it's nice to see Nikolaj being "handy" again.
LOL, seems his hand grew back....
DeleteWow, imagine that, DeNiro as a mobster. :P
ReplyDeleteAnd Helena Wowzer Carter! Her makeup really has that Elizabeth Taylor look.
shocking isn.t it? :)
DeleteAnd Helena in purple, shocking as well :)
...ahh The Family, been lookin' forward to that one! DeNiro and Jones, it'll be a blast...literally ;)
ReplyDeleteEl
Hope you don't get caught in their blast, El
DeleteHelena as Liz, what hair and make up can do, amazing transformation ~
ReplyDeleteOMG, that trailer is so hilarious ~ A must see movie ~ Thanks for all the updates Dezzy ~ that
it really is an amazing transformation, isn't it?
DeleteThe Family looks like fun.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm intrigued by Gods of Egypt. I do like Nikolaj as an actor.
GODS OF EGYPT should be a really interesting film
DeleteI agree with Lynda; The Family looks like a lot of fun. If it was too serious I probably wouldn't be interested but I liked the trailer and it made me smile.
ReplyDeleteAnd Helena is definitely channeling Liz.
channeling all the way
DeleteBut but but.... I like Jaime. He's awesome. :(
ReplyDeletebecause he kills kids?
DeleteThe Family looks like a movie I could really enjoy. DeNiro and Jones still got it!
ReplyDeleteI guessed you would like that one, Elsie :)
DeleteWell, Michelle looks good. I could enjoy her part heh heh
DeleteI know... how shallow.
Deleteisn't she a bit too old for you, Blue? And overly botoxed? :) Her face wouldn't even show if you got her excited or not :)
DeleteThat's good. That way I can pretend I didn't disappoint her.
