HENRY VIII?
Well, this is certainly a great piece of news: according to 'The Daily Mail' HOMELAND star Damian Lewis could take a role in BBC's new historical series WOLF HALL if the negotiations go well!

without a male heir. Thomas Cromwell stepped into the gap left by the King and was prepared to
break the rules, wanting to reshape England to his own and Henry VIII's
desires.You've seen Damian Lewis recently in ROMEO AND JULIET and he is currently shooting QUEEN OF THE DESERT with Nicole Kidman! HENRY VIII?

Damian Lewis as Henry VIII, ooh, can't wait to see that. The Fault in our Stars will definitely be a tear jerker.
ReplyDeleteI really hope he gets the role, if I got it right the negotiations are going on really tough but I'd love to see him in that role.
DeleteLewis as Henry VIII... that would be awesome... he is a great actor, well everything i have seen him in... so my opinion counts.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm glad that HOLLYWOOD SPY had discovered him long before he became popular in USA :) I always wanted to see him in a royal role!
DeleteLots of good stuff. Looking forward to Wolf Hall and TFIOS. Two of my favorite reads ever. :))
ReplyDeleteYes, I always mix whom you really love Mantel or that woman who wrote THE WHITE QUEEN :) But it's Mantel, yes? :)
DeleteYes, Mantel!! Brilliant writer. Can't wait for her final book in the Cromwell trilogy. She did such a great job of getting inside his head. :)
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed they do her justice in the series :) Although, I'm a bit reserved since it is not for BBC One but Two... I don't know what that means in terms of their ambition and budget :(
DeleteThomas Cromwell was Oliver's great-great-great uncle I think
ReplyDeleteQuite possible.... both experiencing rule and politics
DeleteDamian Lewis is a good reason to see Wolf Hall. And Shailene Woodley is a good reason NOT to see The Fault In Our Stars :)
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend.
I couldn't agree more with you, sister. Love Damian and don't see any charisma in Shailene... is she somebody's daughter or something?
DeleteTHE FAULT IN OUR STARS great trailer and love story .
ReplyDeleteI like it .
Cheers .
we do love such heartwarming and inspiring movies and books
DeleteI like Damian Lewis, so...hope he'll play in Henry VIII!
ReplyDeletefingers crossed, Phil, fingers crossed
DeleteHappy Saturday, Dezzy. Any warmer there today?
ReplyDeleteNope, we shall have polar winds sweeping around my part of Central Europe all weekend. Two international trains got stuck in the snow here today and they also saved around thousand people from the roads.... And it isn't even snowing... it's the extreme wind that carries around the one which fell last week.
DeleteStrong stuff, that Mother Nature.
Deletemore of an ebil stepmother sometimes
DeleteDamian Lewis would make a great Henry VIII -- just that right mixture of charm, deadly menace and unstable craziness.
ReplyDeleteAnd he has the deep charisma and talent too
DeleteI've got to be the only YA fan not excited for the TFioS movie. I'm gonna stick with the book.
ReplyDeleteV. excited for WOLF HALL though.
yep, I don't like the casting in TFIOS either, Donna
DeleteHere's hoping Gods of Egypt is worth the wait - it sounds epic!
ReplyDeleteThree years to wait, but it's already my most anticipated of the future films :)
DeleteMy daughter is obsessed with The Fault In Our Stars book. She keeps insisting that I read it, and will definitely have to do so before the movie comes out.
ReplyDeleteit does seem like one of the very few books from the modern YA genre that I would actually allow kids to read
DeleteThat trailer made me tear a bit, love it ~ Thanks for the updates Dezzy ~
ReplyDeleteit's an unusual story, isn't it?
DeleteI don't usually like YA stories, but I'm sure I'll watch Fault. I liked A Walk To Remember also.
ReplyDelete.......dhole
yep, we don't mind them when they don't involve teens in violent situations
DeleteShooting QUEEN OF THE DESERT with Nicole Kidman? I'm slightly jealous.
ReplyDeleteYou want a shot at Nicole?
