'GODS OF EGYPT' EPIC GETS
BRENTON THWAITES NEXT TO GERARD BUTLER, GEOFFREY RUSH, NIKOLAJ COSTER WALDAU
I have new info for you today from the casting process of new ancient Egyptian epic GODS OF EGYPT! Young Brenton Thwaites has
joined Gerard Butler, Geoffrey Rush and Nikolaj Coster Waldau. Gerard Butler will play Set, god of the desert and storms who kills his own brother Osiris after which he gets in conflict with Horus (Coster-Waldau), the son of Osiris and god of sky, who seeks revenge together with Hathor, goddess of love. 'Deadline' reports that Thwaites will play Bek, a human thief who cares little for the affairs of gods but when he discovers his love has been cursed by Set, he falls on the side of Horus, hoping that Set’s death will break the curse! Geoffrey Rush will play Ra, the God of the Sun who is father to both Set and Osiris, and also Set's ultimate target. Thwaites has a number of big roles in the future: he's a prince in Angelina Jolie's MALEFICENT and also plays the lead in fantasy movie THE GIVER next to Meryl Streep, Taylor Swift and Jeff Bridges.
NEW MOVIE BOOK ADAPTATIONS
ANIMALS ATTACK IN 'ZOO'
When it comes to book adaptations I have two for you today: first, CBS has ordered ZOO series based on the book by James Patterson. It is set amidst a wave of
violent animal attacks sweeping across the planet. A
young renegade scientist is thrust into a race to unlock the mystery
behind this pandemic before time runs out for animals and humans alike.
'SYLO' FANTASY BY DJ MCHALE
Meanwhile, Fox will make a movie out of fantasy books SYLO by D.J. McHale. The story follows the inhabitants of a small island who find themselves cut off from the mainland by a mysterious government military force. A group of teens escape to the mainland, only to discover that the inhabitants of the United States have all but vanished, and that they were actually being kept safe.

Gods of Egypt sounds very cool.
ReplyDeleteofficially my fave of the upcoming projects :)
Delete"The Invisible Woman" looks like Victorian hypocrisy at its finest!
ReplyDeleteamen to that, sister
DeleteOoh, I was at the zoo last week. Escaped just in time. And Ralph Fiennes makes a decent Dickens, though I'm not overly fond of that story. I recall Nelly did not have nice things to say about the lecher after he died.
ReplyDeletepffft.... sweet sister, you can never escape the zoo.... especially when the coons and possums are on the watch.... They're watching you right now too......
DeleteAnd a combo of Fiennes and Scott Thomas again is just too much of an utter bore....
I can't escape the zoo as long as I'm logged into Blogger, no. :PPP
Deletenope, Blogger is the zoo of our lives....
DeleteI love the sound of Sylo! I can't wait to watch it.
ReplyDeleteshould be fun, apocalyptic is the new vampires!
DeleteI think Zoo would give me nightmares.
ReplyDeleteyou will never look upon your kittens the same way....
Deletenever knew he had a secret girlfriend
ReplyDeleteshe is quite famous in the literature world
DeleteI remember watching Brenton Thwaites in SLiDE a few years ago and thinking that he was going to cross the pond and take off here in the U.S. I just didn't think it was going to be this meteoric rise so quick. I shouldn't have been surprised though. With those gorgeous looks, it was bound to happened soon. Can't wait to see all the projects that he has in the books.
ReplyDeletehe seems rather lovely, hope he has talents and if he has, hope he gets noticed.
DeleteI really liked him on SLiDE, and I'm seeing excellent reviews of Occulus with Katee Sackhoffj. He's not afraid to take on heavy roles or take off his clothes. Let's hope he continues on the same path. :D
Deletewe do approve of the taking off clothes part :)
DeleteGods of Egypt sounds like something I'd like. Sylo sounds interesting. I guess I missed Zoo (the book). I'll decide if I see the movie after I read it. Thanks for info. I hadn't heard about any of them.
ReplyDeleteHOLLYWOOD SPY always serves the freshest of delights, Pat :)
DeleteGods of Egypt sounds interesting. Methinks I would like it very much :)
ReplyDeletejust imagine Gerard Butler in an Egyptian loin cloth :)
DeleteHmmm. I really don't like going to the zoo. Maybe I should get this one for the kids so they can be scared of the zoo and we never have to go back lol.
ReplyDeleteI don't like it either. I can't watch all the animals imprisoned and enslaved in a way :(
DeleteYoung Brenton is a cutie:) Zoo sounds like edge of the seat movie.
ReplyDeletenot a movie, it will be a weekly thrill in a show :)
DeleteSylo sounds interesting; Zoo not so much.
ReplyDeletepffft Zoo will first happen in Sydney, mark my words :PPPP
DeleteThe Invisible Woman looks like it could be interesting - and I do like a good period film...
ReplyDeletewe do love period films... maybe not with Fiennes and Scott Thomas combo LOL
