TESTAMENT OF YOUTH WWI
FILM WITH KIT HARINGTON
One of the future films we're definitely looking forward too is THE TESTAMENT OF YOUTH which has just started filming this week in Britain. Starring Kit Harington and Alicia Vikander the movie will mark the 100 years from the beginning of the World War I! The sweeping historical movie will bring the true story of Vera Brittain, who postponed her studies at Oxford University to serve as a nurse and then struggled to resume her life after both her brother and fiancé were killed on the battlefield. Scandinavian actress Alicia Vikander takes the lead role with GAME OF THRONES and POMPEII star Kit Harington playing her fiancée!

How I Met Your Dad sounds like it will be entertaining.
ReplyDeletehope it will be successful
DeleteTestament Of Youth looks good.
ReplyDeleteI think it has great potential
DeleteLove that photo of Kit. :)
ReplyDeleteBut if he's the fiancé, that means he dies in the movie! Oh, that's not good. Unless there's a misunderstanding. Yes, it's a mistake and he's really alive somewhere else but living with amnesia!! :))
he doesn't have a lot of pics, so it is really difficult finding new ones :)
DeleteWell, I like them dark and brooding like that. :)
Deleteme only has this brooding one and the famous shirtless one :) And the one in which he and my dearest Dicky Madden are very close :)
DeleteI'm interested in seeing Testament. I love that era.
ReplyDeleteme too, we shall get a number of movie and TV projects from that era this and next year
DeleteHow I Met Your Dad should be interesting.
ReplyDeleteI think so too, Masy
DeleteWhy is he holding his hand on his shoulder like that?
ReplyDeletebecause it's a lickworthy angle :)
DeleteI'm learning so much from this blog.
Deleteconsider yourself taught by My Imperial Naughtiness
DeleteI need to catch up on How I Met Your Mother. I've only seen a few of those, and they were quite funny. If the spinoff is anything like that, I'm sure it will be a success!
ReplyDeleteI've never got into liking that sitcom even though I tried a number of times... it was just mediocre
Deletenever seen any of the series
Deleteyou haven't missed much if you ask me
DeleteKit is one handsome fella
ReplyDeleteI missed the whole spin off deal for How I Meet Your Mother. It's going to be difficult to replace.
the characters of DAD will be presented in the final ever episode of MOTHER
DeleteI like Kit Harrington:)
ReplyDeletenice chap he is!
DeleteHow I Met Your Dad? This is the first I've even heard of it!
ReplyDeleteInformative as always, DEZMOND!
Yep, the networks are preparing tones of new sitcoms and comedies!
DeleteTHE TESTAMENT OF YOUTH sounds like it has potential.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Dave!
DeleteThe Testament of Youth sounds wonderful, although I don't like the title.
ReplyDeleteit should be a really touching war drama
DeleteI hope How I Met YOur Dad is worthwhile. I really, really like How I Met YOur Mother. One of the few sitcoms I watch on a regular basis.
ReplyDeleteI watch only LAST MAN STANDING. I also watched SEAN SAVES THE WORLD and HAPPILY DIVORCED but those got cancelled :( I also tried KRISTIE but it lost me at episode one.
DeleteNo one wants to have met my Dad, is all that springs to mind. That can't be good. How are you today, Dezzmeister?
ReplyDeletemildly lethargic, hope you is feeling better than usually, Sir Randy Mandy!
DeleteI am. (Knock on wood.)
Deleteis it wooden?
