MTV TO MAKE 'SHANNARA'
EPIC FANTASY TV SERIES!
Now this is rather shocking. I've already informed you of the plans to
adapt famous SHANNARA book saga but the surprise is that MTV has ordered
the script from the creators of SMALLVILLE for the adaptation which
will be turned into a TV series if they like the material. Jon Favreau
will direct the project which, based on Terry Brook's fantasy saga, is
set in our world, thousands of years after the destruction of our
civilization. The story is centred on the Shannara family, whose
descendants are empowered with ancient magic and whose adventures
continuously reshape the future of the world. According to 'Deadline'
the first season of the potential SHANNARA series will be based on 'The
Elfstones of Shannara', the second title in the epic saga!

WALKING WITH THE ENEMY
WWII DRAMA WITH JONAS ARMSTRONG & BEN KINGSLEY
And your trailer this Saturday is for historical drama WALKING WITH THE ENEMY a powerful new film inspired by a true story. It follows two men swept up in the horrors of 
WWII. Both men are from Hungary, a German ally that had been spared the atrocities orchestrated by Hitler throughout much of Europe. As the war reaches its climax, Germany begins to doubt the loyalties of the Hungarian leadership - in particular the infamous Regent Horthy (Ben Kingsley) who is ultimately faced with ceding power to another political party or accepting the execution of his son. As the crisis unfolds, thousands of his citizens are forced underground or put into ghettos. One of them is a young man named Elek Cohen (Jonas Armstrong) who is separated from his family and determined to find them. Aided by the woman he loves (Hannah Tointon), Elek disguises himself as a Nazi SS officer!

The big question, in my opinion, is whether or not MTV can actually pull off the Shannara series. My guess is that it will be similar to Game of Thrones, but with no sex and hotter actors/actresses. That sits fine by me. I'm not interested (per se) of seeing the hobbits...or whatever Terry Brooks calls them in his copycat books...but the elves should be quite fun especially if they go around shirtless.
ReplyDeleteIf there are hot elves in it, I'm all for it too, Michael! I'm just shocked that somebody would give MTV to do this as their first show of this kind. Epic fantasy doesn't really go with Miley Cirys, Rihanna and other disgusting brats.
DeleteWALKING WITH THE ENEMY looks good. Love Ben Kingsley.
ReplyDeleteI just hope that the film isn't political and that it doesn't try to rehabilitate Horty who killed so many people in these regions of mine along with the Nazis. My own city in particular lost lots of lives under the Hungarian occupation in WWII.
DeleteHe's F-ing Perfect sounds like fun.
ReplyDeletein the hands of the right director it could be fine and fun
DeleteI like amanda seyfried
ReplyDeleteshe is very loveable!
DeleteMhm mhm mhm, Amanda Seyfried :D and Shannara looks interesting.
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed they do Shannara some justice and make it epic... but it is MTV...... so I'm not sure....
DeleteI wish people would come up with something original rather than novel adaptations :/
ReplyDeletewell, better novel adaptations than bad scripts :)
DeleteThe first one looks so fun and funny ~ But that trailer and last plot is heart breaking ~ Thanks for the update Dezzy ~
ReplyDeleteI just hope that the film isn't a political propaganda or a way of manipulating with the history
Deletestep away from the mtv... they are going to mess up everything, first they took away the music and now!
ReplyDeleteyes, yes, a Music Television which actually killed all music brutally!
DeleteI love Amanda Seyfried. Her romantic comedies are always good for a day when you just want to watch something without too much thought.
ReplyDeleteexactly!
