'THE WALKING DEAD'
GETS A SPINOFF SHOW & CHRISTIAN SERRATOS AS NEW CAST MEMBER
In today's television news, AMC has confirmed that they are preparing a THE WALKING DEAD spinoff series for 2015! Not much is known so far about the plot, but it will not be based on the comic books and will have entirely new set of characters and stories set in the same world populated by zombies. It is not known whether the new show would explore the origins of the zombie apocalypse or will just follow some other survivors in some other city. The fourth season of the original show starts October 13th and during the following week around the world. It was announced yesterday that the forth season will have new face in Christian Serratos who will play beautiful Rosita Espinosa who survived the mysterious undead apocalypse that has taken over the planet and, if she becomes a popular one, she could earn a regular cast spot in the fifth season.

GRACE OF MONACO TRAILER
WITH NICOLE KIDMAN 
Vega as Maria Callas, Derek Jacobi and Frank Langella.
DID YOU KNOW?
The royal family of Monaco has officially proclaimed this film as needlessly glamorized and historically inaccurate! For them it is not a biopic! The same thing happened to DIANA biopic which, starring Nicole's best friend Naomi Watts, also got horrid criticism and was not supported by the royal family nor by the press and the critics.

They could make the Walking Dead crossover between shows at some point.
ReplyDeletethey say it won't happen. I'm extremely curious to see where will the story be set this time. Will it be in USA, maybe some big city (I loved the very first episode of the show in which Rick was on the streets of Atlanta), or maybe a big establishment with the survivors.
DeleteA Walking Dead spin-off, sounds good!!!
ReplyDeletetoo good, Ray!
DeleteI still haven't seen the second season of Walking Dead. No real reason why either.
Deletethe second season is the best one, since it is set at a farm and doesn't have much people violence
DeleteOhhhh, I didn't know that.
DeleteThanks.
but they do feed chickens to the zombies :) in it though....
DeleteNow I'm super curious about this Walking Dead spin-off. What a tease!!!
ReplyDeleteyes, imagine waiting for two years :( They probably plan to cancel the original show till then.....
DeleteHopefully it wont' be called something cheesy like the talking dead or something.
ReplyDeleteah, if zombies could talk....
Delete"Circles" looks like an excellent film. I hope someday it comes to Edmonton for screening in our "art film" theatre. I'll keep my eyes peeled for it!
ReplyDeleteWell, it is possible that it was shown at Toronto Film Festival, I'm not sure... but our films do often play in your festivals...
Deleteokay, we get it zombies are popular... not for much longer. fire is hot, but people are getting bored... okay i got bored.
ReplyDeletethat was my feeling while I watched WORLD WAR Z but not while watching THE WALKING DEAD. You see, the popularity of that show lies not within the undead, but within the living creatures, in their psychological predicaments and dillemas and in their creativity to survive and deal with the darkness. I was just thinking, a minute ago, how that show still feels so fresh that I think it started only last year...
DeleteThe spin off does sound good, they're striking while the interest is still out there.
ReplyDeletewell, you gotta milk the zombies while you can....
DeleteIf the royal family has proclaimed the movie historically inaccurate, I definitely have to see it. This means it's probably true. ;)
ReplyDeleteor probably not :) We've seen that such movies often do not show the real truth. I prefered films like QUEEN, MRS BROWN, YOUNG VICTORIA.... those seemed realistic.
DeleteIt would be grand if Circles won an Oscar. The story sounds like a difficult and painful one to tell. I wish I could see it, so I could see more of your homeland.
ReplyDeleteDarling, I cannot watch Princess of Monaco. Kidman is too old to play the part and Tim Roth is an arsemonkey. That fecker called me a bully and a commoner. All because I told him to go to sleep when he was pissing and moaning on a flight and annoying all the passengers. "This is what I get for allowing myself to get near the common people" "They don't know how to treat a star" he says. He bitched about it to the press and referred to one of the passengers as a bully. I was that bully. I'm glad his shitty little telly show got cancelled.
That film just tells one of the numerous ironic and tragic stories from these regions, dear. There's no way it will win an Oscar, since you know what kind of money and support you need for that.
DeleteI was also shocked that Roth was chosen for Rainier... Roth always strikes me as a criminal :) not a prince. Judging from your story it seems me was right. And Nicole is a good actress generally but keeps getting roles which need grace and warmth, two things she has not. She is too plastic and rigid for most of the roles she gets.
Darling, you are such a bully :PPPP
I left out the part where I called him a twat:)
Delete:P you know, I was trying to think of a single of his roles and I couldn't ... and I've never even heard of the show of his you mentioned.... that's the proof how big of a star he is :)
DeleteI have not seen The Walking Dead, but a lot of my friends are huge fans of the how. However, I agree with the others. How much longer before the zombie craze ends? Kinda like the vampire crap that seems to be simmering down now too.
ReplyDeleteand then the mutants will arrive in full glory :)
DeleteAs much talent as Nicole has, I doubt even she can pull off the beautiful and elegant Princess Grace.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on this one, sister
DeleteWow - Circles sounds like an incredibly powerful story.
ReplyDeleteand it also has a very humane and pacifistic message
DeleteCircles looks like a heavy drama. Sometimes Netflix offers those foreign movies that do well at festivals. I'll keep an eye out for it.
ReplyDeletemaybe you can find Srdan's previous, also critically acclaimed, movie THE TRAP, it also has an amazing story about a man whose son is extremely ill and will die if they don't take him to a surgery abroad, but they are poor and don't have the money. Some criminal then approaches him and offers him the money for the surgery if he assassinates some other criminal. In the end the wife of the criminal he kills actually pays for the surgery of his son.
DeleteI hope The Walking Dead spinoff doesn't become more like Resident Evil :( I liked all the family and survival interactions in Walking Dead.
ReplyDeleteGood to see Nicole back in films. She is a good actress.
......dhole
the social interactions and psychological aspect are the soul of the show
DeleteDez...you should have saved that Walking Dead part for last because I was so dizzy with excitement, I couldn't even read the rest. I remember something about Nicole Kidman. I'm like a child some days...
ReplyDeleteonly a month before the fourth season :) I just hope the Governor gives them some peace.... I didn't like the violent aspect of the previous season, I preferred the first two.
