Tarzan great trailer !
ReplyDeleteLove it .
Cheers .
gorgeous settings and nature, aren't they?
DeleteOh, I am looking forward to The Three Musketeers. Love that poster. I hope I get to see that one. Always a favorite. :)
ReplyDeletehope we get the first trailer soon and more pics too :) But BBC usually waits for the last week to promote their programmes :(
DeletePS it will air on BBC America too
DeleteOh, I hope it is a good one. BBC is doing some of the best programming right now.
DeleteThey cancelled COPPER and will move on onto this one and some others as well. And WOLF HALL is moving on too
DeleteBeta sounds like it's going to be a good show! I hope they do a good job with it. Lots of fantasy shows coming out lately.
ReplyDeletehope at least some of them will be good... lots of shows have disappointed us recently.
DeleteMe too, Dezzy, me too!
Deletefingers crossed. REIGN last week wasn't anything overly special, and Friday brings us DRACULA
DeleteI suppose it's been awhile since Hollywood's done tarzan
ReplyDeletethis one ain't Hollywood, Adam. But Hollywood really is planning a Tarzan but with Alexander Skarsgard
DeleteI wasn't so sure about Tarzan until I saw the trailer. Definitely piqued my interest. The Musketeers looks pretty good too!
ReplyDeletehope we get Musketeers trailer soon!
DeleteSounds like an interesting take on Tarzan . I may have to see that one with the kids.
ReplyDeleteit has such beautiful settings! So very vivid
DeleteStrangerland sounds interesting. I think I have a copy of Beta somewhere.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't be surprised if you have, Medeia :)
DeleteI didn't start off a Nicole Kidman fan, but once I saw her play Virginia Woolf, I became one.
ReplyDeleteI neither love her nor hate her. She has some nice roles, and usually has amazing choices, but the problem is that most of the films she works in would be better with some other actress since she is overly cold. But I like her dramatic choices instead of blockbuster ones.
DeleteSo many great shows! Musketeers, Beta, Little Women, and Tarzan :)
ReplyDelete'twas a good day in Lyndyland ;)
DeleteNice information...
ReplyDeletewhy, thank you!
DeleteWhile I loved Little Women as a kid, I'm not sure it needs another remake. I have BETA on my wishlist for books - hope they do a good job of it! :)
ReplyDeletefingers crossed, Jemi :)
DeleteNicole is stunning in that dress.
