TOM HIDDLESTON
TO BE THE NEW 'BEN HUR'?
Well, I might just faint if this casting choice becomes reality over in Hollywood: the word around Tinseltown today is that our dearly beloved thespian Tom Hiddleston is wanted for the lead role in the new movie version of BEN HUR! To be helmed by Timur Bekmambetov the historical epic film, set for February 2016, will centre on the early years of Judah BEN HUR and Messalla, who were best friends as children before the Roman Empire conquered Jerusalem. After Messalla leaves for five years to be educated, he mocks his former friend's religion, and sets up BEN HUR as the scapegoat for an accident, which causes him to be sold into slavery. Years later, BEN HUR swears to get his revenge, culminating in the legendary chariot races from the original movie! Sticking closer to the story from the book, the movie will also have a story on Jesus running parallel with the main one.
PRIDE AND PREJUDICES AND ZOMBIES ADAPTATION CASTS
JACK HUSTON AND LILY JAMES
Another project that we've announced many times before is gaining new
momentum with first casting additions: after Lily James (whom you will
watch next year in CINDERELLA) and Sam Riley, PRIDE AND PREJUDICES AND
ZOMBIES will now have Jack Huston too! Lily James will portray Elizabeth
Bennett, Sam Riley is playing Mr. Darcy and Bella Heathcote is playing
Elizabeth's sister, while Jack Huston will be Wickham in the big screen
adaptation of Seth Grahame-Smith's novel which is a zombie version of
Jane Austen's novel, in which Elizabeth's quest for love is set in the time of a
vicious zombie outbreak. Wickham wants to teach the zombies how to
fight, winning Elizabeth over with his theories on the undead soldiers.

Bad accent or not, MORTDECAI should be funny. But then, what I can I say, I like Johnny Depp.:)
ReplyDeleteyep, people who like Depp don't mind that he always plays the same role :)
DeleteI got over Depp some time ago. What at first was a novelty has quickly become a predictable boor.
Deleteyep, sometimes I wonder if he can actually act or is just hiding behind the very same characters he always portrays....
DeleteI shall probably faint too if Hiddleston takes that role. When Tom finds us in our faint, he will gently wipe the sweat from our brows and return us to consciousness with a sweet kiss :0)
ReplyDeleteindeed he will, dear ,a reason more for us to faint :) Imagine if they cast someone really nice for Messalla too!
DeleteI hope they cast someone delicious for us. Then it will be like a Hunk sundae. All we'll need is a spoon and some whipped cream 0)
Deleteespecially since Hiddles has chemistry with his on screen partners all the time. There was deep love between him and Chris Hunksworth in THOR :)
DeleteWell, you know I'd like EVERY movie to star Tom Hiddleston so I guess that's all I have to say.
ReplyDeleteyou took the words right out of my mouth :)
DeleteTommy... Johnny, Jacky... good deal, thank you!
ReplyDeletebe welcome
DeleteI shall be putting MORTDECAI at the very top of films to watch! Looks brilliant!
ReplyDeleteAnd I disagree about Johnny Depp's British accent. It sounds contrived and OTT (over the top), but I suspect it's supposed to. Anyway, who cares about his accent :)
he sounds to me like a bad version of Austin Powers :))))
DeletePah! :))
DeleteGroovy baby :)
DeleteYou had me at baby! Haha :))
DeleteI was quoting Austen Powers :)
DeleteYou must be the first one to do so :p
Deleteoh, behave....
DeleteGood one. I'm actually laughing.
Deletein your shaguar? :)
DeleteHaaaaa!
DeleteBen Hur with Tom Hiddleston should rock!
ReplyDeleteDepp is Depp, I like him well enough.
it would rock totally!
DeleteAnd... completely.
DeleteIt will be interesting comparing the old and the new Ben Hur.
ReplyDeleteLittle concerned about P and P and Zombies. I so didn't care for Abraham Lincoln the Vampire Slayer.
Johnny D as always should be fun.
we shall most probably skip the zombies in the era of prejudices....
DeleteSandra... I could tell them what they can do with their zombies, but you're a lady so I won't.
DeleteHi Dezzzzzz!
He is an amazing actor
ReplyDeleteWhich one? Hiddles sure is!
DeleteHoney, we don't watch Depp for his acting abilities. Short of Sean Connery, he's the only other one I'd leave my hubs for ;)
ReplyDeletebut but but... he has no looks :) and he always looks like he hasn't washed for decades....
DeleteBut, but, he's still very pretty in my book. I'll buy him a bar of soap and clean him up before getting him dirty again lol ;)
Deletethat's what his wife tried to do, but then she realized the scum is inside not just outside :)... and then he left her and their kids for that lesbian lover of his :)
DeleteHe's the only other one she'd leave her hubs for? SHHHHHHHHHOCKING!
Deleteshe is such a scandalous lass, she is, Blue, I tell you....
DeleteWell, tell me more...
Deletemore.... :)
DeleteI knew it was just too good to be true.
DeleteHi Theresa!
TH as Ben Hur is going to send me into a spin if this comes off!
ReplyDeletejust imagine him in loin cloth and sandals.....
DeleteWhat's funny is that picture of the actor is the polar opposite of how he would look playing Ben Hur! It's messing with my head!
ReplyDeleteI do have a princely photos of Hiddlestud, but I just loved this cute one of him
DeleteDid you say... the new movie version of BEN HUR? Another remake? Say.... it.... ain't.... so.
ReplyDeleteHow hard can it be to create something new?
I don't mind the remakes if they star Hiddles.... hiddle me this, hiddle me that....
DeleteRedo 1, redo 2... You don't mind... I get it.
Deleteeverything can be swallowed with a tbsp of Hiddles....
