THE CANTERVILLE GHOST
STEPHEN FRY & HUGH LAURIE
Another brilliant ensemble will be seen in the animated version of
famous THE CANTERVILLE GHOST by Oscar Wilde. Toby Jones will star in
this one, lending his voice together with Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie,
Imelda Staunton, Freddie Highmore and Miranda Hart! In this animated
feature, Stephen Fry plays Sir Simon de Canterville who has been
haunting his ancestral home in rural England for over 300 years, scaring
off tenants with ease and aplomb — until the Otis family moves in from
America.
MAGGIE SMITH 'LADY IN THE VAN'
Meanwhile, Maggie Smith will take the lead role in THE LADY IN THE VAN, a movie about a playwright and his experiences with Miss Shepherd, a vagrant who parked her old van in his driveway and stayed there for shocking 15 years.
LIAM HEMSWORTH JOINS KATE
WINSLET IN 'THE DRESS MAKER'
Yet another great movie to gain new cast members is Kate Winslet's THE DRESSMAKER which now also has Liam Hemsworth, Isla Fisher and Judy Davis in the cast! This Australian movie will see Kate Winslet playing an avenging angel who returns home to the remote country town from which she fled as a child after being accused of murder, to make amends with her eccentric mother. Although ostracized at first, she liberates and empowers the town’s women with her quick wit and beautiful clothing, also finding love, and ultimately exacts sweet revenge on those who wronged her.

PATRICK WILSON, JESSICA BIEL
IN 'THE BLUNDERER' THRILLER
In casting news today, one of our favourite thespians Patrick Wilson
will topline the cast of THE BLUNDERER, the big screen adaptation of
Patricia Highsmith's bestselling novel! The movie will also have Jessica
Biel, Imogen Poots and Toby Jones in the ensemble! The story is set in
early 1960s New York, following Walter Stackhouse (Wilson), a
successful architect married to the beautiful Clara (Biel) and leading a
charmed and perfect life. But his fascination with an unsolved murder
leads him into a spiral of chaos as he is forced to play cat-and-mouse
with a clever killer (Jones) and an over-ambitious detective. Walter’s
obsession, his lies and his lust for another woman (Poots) will collide
in a crush of guilt, innocence and, ultimately, fate.

I'll probably see THE DRESSMAKER just because of Kate Winslet! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI love that kind of inspiring feelgood stories, and Australian films are always the best
DeleteI agree with Dave, the yummy Kate... yes I said that out loud.
DeleteShe is indeed!
DeleteAll of these are "meh" to me.
ReplyDeletesay what, say what? Even HIEROGLYPH? I'm shocked, indeed I am! I thought you would appreciate some Max Brown!
DeleteHIEROGLYPH looks cool - I've got high hopes for that.
ReplyDeleteAs for THE CANTERVILLE GHOST, it's a cartoon I can take my son to, and it's got Fry & Laurie . . . what more could a man ask for? LOL
HIEROGLYPH is my most anticipated show this year!
DeleteFry and Imelda for me! :) Love them both to bits
The canterville ghost sounds great fun!
ReplyDeleteWith that cast absolutely
DeleteHugh Laurie and Stephen Fry together again! I love them both. Too bad it's not a live action film. And the Maggie Smith one sounds intriguing too.
ReplyDeleteStephen Fry was so delightful in THE HOBBIT :)
DeleteThat other one sounds perfect for Maggs
The Dressmaker has a really good cast!
ReplyDeleteI took the kids to see Legends of Oz - Dorothy Returns. I was a little disappointed with the story, but I thought the animation, and some of the songs were really good.
and the story too :)
DeleteYep, that animated movie had a strange animation so it didn't attract tones of attention :)
Ugh. I was excited to see Hugh Laurie will be "seen" on screen again and it's another animated movie.
ReplyDeletehe was supposed to star in CROSSBONES pirate series but the role instead went to John Malkovich
DeleteReally? Malkovich? Dear Lord.
DeleteWhat? Haven't you read the spotlight? The banner was up there for only a month......
DeleteI've been watching House on Netflix and thinking what an amazing actor Hugh Laurie is. Such range! I'd love to see him in something else.
DeleteI liked him in his older works over in UK, but I didn't like HOUSE because I don't like uncaught characters on TV
DeleteI blame my short-term memory. What banner? What banner?
Deletethe banner with Malkovich as Blackbeard promoting my post on the CROSSBONES pirate show... you have the link in the sidebar with my epic shows
DeleteI'm a fan of avenging angels. Don't know why. Justice?
ReplyDeleteI'm more a fan of cuddling angels
DeletePositively can't wait for HIEROGLYPH! And THE CANTERVILLE GHOST sounds soooooo much fun :) Love Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie and Miranda Hart. What a cast ... of voices!
ReplyDeleteWe can't wait for some Ancient Egyptian fun! Hope it's not rubbish like BBC's ATLANTIS
DeleteI'm only impressed if they can build a pyramid upside down.
Deleteyou ain't easy to impress!
DeleteHey, Dezzy,
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely looking foreword to Hieroglyph... It looks awesome.
And The Canterville Ghost should be excellent with Stephen Frye....
Love anything Maggies Smith and the premise to Lady in the Van is quiet unique...
Angels, hunks, and Kate Winslet? Sounds like a winning combination to me!
HIEROGLYPH is our most anticipated of the new shows this year :)
DeleteI really really hope I don't have to wait too long for HIEROGLYPH here in Oz. It looks fantastic.
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed! I hope some of the international cable channels will buy it
DeleteEverything you've got here looks like fun to me, Dez :)
ReplyDeleteit's a really fun week with all the new shows and sitcoms :)
DeleteI will see the ghost one, for sure.
ReplyDeleteit should be really fun with that voice cast
DeleteAgreed.
Deleteabsolutely
Deletea historic view of ancient egypt, with sorcerers
ReplyDeletean even vampires... judging from the trailer :)
DeleteJust the way it happened....
Deletethey did forget the mutant cats.... Egyptians loved those....
DeleteThe Canterville Ghost sounds like one we are going to love! We will save that one for viewing around Halloween though, as that's when we love those kinds of shows best.
ReplyDeleteit's possible it will come out at that part of the year
DeleteHIEROGLYPH great look a,d trailer .
ReplyDeletelots of inspiration for you, Vincent :)
DeleteIntriguing Hieroglyph, intriguing Hieroglyph...
ReplyDeletewe do expect a lot from it!
DeleteHieroglyph sounds odd but intriguing?
ReplyDeleteit will be our main epic show this year! Expect tones of spotlights on it :)
DeleteTHE CANTERVILLE GHOST should be good, especially with Stephen Frye and Hugh Laurie.
ReplyDeleteyes, it should, we do love Stephen Fry!
