MTV GREENLIGHTS
SHANNARA EPIC TV SERIES
According to 'Deadline' one of MTV's most ambitious projects ever - the small screen adaptation of famous bestselling fantasy saga SHANNARA by Terry Brooks - is moving forward but with a new director! Instead of Jon Favreau, the ten episode epic fantasy series will be helmed by TEENAGE NINJA MUTANT TURTLES's Jonathan Liebesman! The books are set in our world, thousands of years after the destruction of our civilization. The story centres on the Shannara family, whose descendants are empowered with ancient magic and whose adventures continuously reshape the future of the world. The show will be based on the second book - THE ELFSTONES OF SHANNARA!
FIRST 'WILD' TRAILER
WITH REESE WITHERSPOON
In our trailer department today, we have the first trailer for Reese Witherspoon's WILD which arrives into cinemas December 5th. Based
on
Cheryl Strayed's bestseller, WILD follows Strayed (Reese Witherspoon)
who, with the dissolution of her marriage and the death of her mother,
has lost all hope. After years of reckless, destructive behavior, she
makes a rash decision. With absolutely no experience, driven only by
sheer determination, Cheryl hikes more than a thousand miles of the
Pacific Crest Trail, alone. WILD powerfully captures the terrors and
pleasures of one young woman forging ahead against all odds on a journey
that maddens, strengthens, and ultimately heals her.

ONE REPUBLIC'S VIDEO
FOR 'THE GIVER' FANTASY MOVIE
I have a musical treat for you to start your weekend in a nice tone: new teaser for fantasy movie THE GIVER featuring the song ORDINARY HUMAN by the best band of today's music One Republic and their composer and singer marvellous Ryan Tedder. Coming out this August and starring Brenton Thwaites, Meryl Streep, Alexander Skarsgard, Taylor Swift and Jeff Bridges, THE GIVER is set in a seemingly perfect community, without 
war, pain, suffering, differences or choice, in which a young boy is chosen to learn from an elderly man about the true pain and pleasure of the real world as a keeper of emotions.

It's been a long time coming, but I've got high hopes for Shannara.
ReplyDeleteI'm just scared it being at MTV! Are those irresponsible freaks over there capable of doing epic fantasy?
Delete"Eat, Pray, Bike?"
ReplyDeleteeat, pray, hike :)
DeleteI want to see The Giver.....
ReplyDeletecould be a good one!
DeleteGreat song and video by One Republic.
ReplyDeletemost of their songs are perfect for movies!
DeleteI still haven't read the Shannara books. Need to do that. And fun song for The Giver. Not sure if I'll see the movie though. The clips seem so different than my impression of the book.
ReplyDeleteI haven't either. I'm skipping the movie too, but love One Republic to bits
Deletei am not sure i am down for any of this films... i just want stuff with hero in the title.
ReplyDeletepffft.... pffttt I say
DeleteWild looks great. I like stories like that.
ReplyDeleteit does seem both inspirational and stupid of her to do what she did. Could be a really good movie
DeleteInspirational in that people help her survive on the trails (or she wouldn't have made it).
DeleteInspirational in the way that she tried to find a catharsis or enlightenment but stupid in the way that she risked her life for nothing special. She could've found that volunteering in an orphanage
DeleteShannara! Yeah!
ReplyDeletefingers crossed!
DeletePS I've tried to comment at your current post a number of times in recent days but your site keeps eating up my comments :(
DeleteNot sure if any here for me, this go.
ReplyDeleteas per usual :)
DeleteI was just reading about Wild on another blog yesterday. I think it sounds really good. And yes. Pffft to the superhero movies. I am soooo over them!
ReplyDeletewe do like motivational stories
DeleteI'm always hopeful when I new fantasy series comes out but we'll see if it can live up tot he book...
ReplyDeleteyep, so many of the historical and fantasy series have disappointed us over the years....
DeleteJeff Bridges looks kinda like harrison ford in that poster
ReplyDeletethey're lookalikes
DeleteI read and re-read the Shannara many years ago and I think I still have the series at home somewhere. I'm having a hard time believing they will get it right though. Who knows, maybe miracles can happen.
ReplyDeleteme too, dear, MTV isn't a reliable and trustworthy producer for sure
DeleteThey weren't particularly good when the only thing they did was music videos.
Deletewell, they gave birth to and then killed poor videos :(
DeleteThe Wild Trailer is awesome! I can't wait to see it.
ReplyDeleteit does look interesting
DeleteIf Reese has lost all hope... I would be willing to come to the rescue.
ReplyDeleteI will tell her....
DeleteDon't make her.... run!
