Houdini, this is a legend! Love the first pic!
ReplyDeleteglad you liked the pic, I edited it a bit by making it double upside down :)
DeleteI'm instantly sold on Houdini with Brody in the lead.It looks like he's put on a good bit of muscle for the part as Houdini was built like a little tank.
ReplyDeleteYou did the mirror effect in the first pic? They should use that as a poster.
I did, dear :) And the banner above in the slideshow too :)
DeleteBrody has had those muscles for a long time now, dear, but people tend not to notice it since he looks skinny in most of the films
I hadn't noticed his muscles before. Ya, he does look very skinny. He's tall and his bone structure is so vivid it adds to that look.
Deleteif you do Google image search with his name and HOLLYWOOD SPY you will get tones of his naked pics :)
DeletePS he's not tall at all, you remember that I saw him in person and he is quite tiny and short
DeleteGreat Harry Houdini... Heck yes, though that is what I might look like if I were in Chains. I think Selfie is going to loose, once the fad of saying Selfie gets gone so will the the show.... though I like the red head...
ReplyDeleteThan you should wear chains instead of regular outfits LOL
DeleteI'm keeping fingers crossed for SELFIE, it seems fun and unusual, and I think there might be audience for that sitcom
Houdini looks good! It'll be interesting to see Brody in this roll. He was awesome in The Pianist. It's hard to imagine him playing something so different.
ReplyDeleteHe has had so many different roles over the years, he is quite a versatile actor
DeleteHe was great in The Darjeeling Limited. I just saw him in Wrecked on the Netflix, excellent film.
Deletehaven't seen that one, yet
DeleteBrody could use a hit role again -- I hope Houdini provides it to him!
ReplyDeleteI think that he could be good on TV since Hollywood doesn't see him as a lead man
DeleteInteresting casting choice for Houdini. That's going to be an awesome movie. I know my husband will want to see it.
ReplyDeleteThe date is set for the first two days of September!
DeleteHistory channel is starting shows about history again? Did they get tired of Aliens and Bronze-age myths?
ReplyDeletethey have the silliest of shows here in Europe too....
DeleteCan't imagine anyone other than Adrien Brody to take on Houdini. He's a class act.
ReplyDeletesure he is
DeleteI could put Houdini in your cave and he'd never be able to escape.
ReplyDeleteHaha :)
Deleteit's so true... he wouldn't wanna escape either....
DeleteOh yes he would. There are trolls. Lots of trolls ...
DeleteI eat trolls for breakfast.
DeleteNot to mention a hundred penguins....
Deleteno, just trolls.... penguins are safe.... and all other animals.... (minus the human kind ones).....
DeleteHOUDINI looks pretty good. Selfie looks like standard fluff.
ReplyDeleteI'm excited about both series
DeleteYep, Houdini looks like it's going to be a good one. Selfie, I'll take a pass on.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to both
DeleteDezzy Houdini trailer look amazing:)
ReplyDeleteAh Dezzy Im so sad by Robin williams
An actor I really loved:(
xo
I'm extremely sad too, he was the best comedian ever and one of the most beloved actors of mine... he made our childhoods nicer thanks to his warmth and talent
DeleteStill Im so sad Dezzy!
DeleteI cried all day yesterday :(
DeleteHoudini i love this movie , great trailer !
ReplyDeleteglad you like it!
DeleteShouldn't you have done another post by now? Are you okay?
ReplyDeleteNope, dear, you got something wrong, I post at about 7PM Central European Time, which is 9 or 10 am in USA. The new post is coming in a few hours
DeleteHoudini should be awesome. There is just a shadow of mystery and magic that surrounds the mere name Houdini.
ReplyDeletehe truly was a crazy man!
DeleteKaren Gillan Doctor Who Alum For The Win!
ReplyDeleteIt looks funny, but I doubt it last long. :-(
you never know... they do have LAST MAN STANDING as one of the best sitcoms out there....
DeleteWhat is the song playing in the preview???
ReplyDeleteIt's called Simple Pleasures by Jake Bugg. iTunes has it.
Deletethanks so much :)
