KIDNAPPING FREDDY HEINEKEN
Now if this ain't an uber hot male cast, I don't know what is: 'Variety' reports that three Hollywood hunks Sam Worthington, Jim Sturgess and Ryan Kwanten have joined KIDNAPPING FREDDY HEINEKEN which already has Anthony Hopkins! Based on Peter L. De Vries' bestselling book the script is focusing on the true story of Dutch beer mogul Alfred "Freddy" Heineken (Anthony Hopkins), who was kidnapped along with his driver Ab Doderer in 1983. They were both released after the ransom of a whopping 35 Dutch guilders was paid, which is the equivalent of $50 million today. The abductors were 
eventually caught and prosecuted. Daniel Alfredson is directing. Methinks the ladies will enjoy the hunky cast and the gents will enjoy the film with a can of Heineken!

Each has separate lives even though they live under the same roof and as he nears death, the judge wants to be sure that his even younger, barely educated mistress is cared for and not cast out. Describing the spousal battle and unfolding the judge's secret life, the story proves that the wife and the mistress, are indeed different versions of the same caged animal.

Charming and savvy, Sutton is used to getting her way at any cost.The cast is lead by Billy Campbell and Hiroyuki Sanada.
Wow, this post is like a pinata... full of goodies, and I didn't even have to whop it with a stick to get at 'em. The SyFy (I HATE that new spelling) show sounds terrific, and I'm a huge fan of Hawking, so there's two winners right there for me.
ReplyDeleteI don't get the new name of the channel either, sister Susan :)
DeleteGlad you liked today's offer at our menu :) we've had treats both for the ladies and for the boys :)
Really looking forward to The Theory Of Everything.
ReplyDeleteshould be a good one, the cast is outstanding
DeleteEddie Redmayne was great in Les Miz, but I can't think of anything else I've seen him in. Must be a fresh face!
ReplyDeletenope, he's been a star for years. HOLLYWOOD SPY has been following him from the start: BIRDSONG, PILLARS OF THE EARTH, MY WEEKEND WITH MARYLIN... just some of his projects....

ReplyDeleteI remember when Ryan did that photo-shoot with FHM
DeleteHow could you ever forget it? :))
DeleteYes we need more Jeri Ryan!
ReplyDeleteI did try to show you as much of her as possible today :P
DeleteVery much looking forward to The Theory of Everything. We think of Hawking as less human and more genius. Also will be nice to remember that there was a time that he walked and spoke with no assistance. Should be a good one.
ReplyDeleteI do adore the cast, two of my fave gents Eddie and Harry!
DeleteLots to look forward to. Hawking was on the news the other day discussing various things I was surprised to find out he was 71 what a good old age!
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen him in a long time. I wonder if he and Eddie met for the film?
DeleteGlad to hear some news about Jim Sturgess. :)
ReplyDeletewe do love him a lot :)
DeleteI'll grab a Heiney for that Kidnapping cast. Cheers!!!!
ReplyDeleteCheers indeed :)
DeleteEddie Redmayne as Hawking? That'll be something! I'd love to see how they'll make him look.
ReplyDeleteas a young Hawking, in the time when he wasn't ill.
DeleteThe Theory of Everything sounds good! How could I pass up a show about such a brilliant man?
ReplyDeleteand with such a brilliant cast!
DeleteHmm, Dez, which do you find the most intriguing? I'm leaning toward Helix.
ReplyDeleteI will most certainly give HELIX a go since I adore stories set in icy regions, especially in isolated polar places :)
DeleteHelix gets my vote today - I always like seven of nine :)
ReplyDeleteI think it could potentially be a good sf show
DeleteJERI RYAN Star trek everything i love .
ReplyDeleteCheers my friend .
she is easy to love, isn't she? :))
DeleteKidnapping Freddy Heineken looks really interesting. I'm usually not into Action but watching these 3 hunks including Anthony Hopkins is definitely a treat.
ReplyDeleteit's an amazing cast,isn't it?
