Meg and her three brothers then travel through time to find their dad.
Is it me, or does Elijah Wood's eyes pierce your soul? THE LAST WITCH HUNTER seems to have a great cast.
ReplyDeleteI had that said for me own eyes as well, you know :))
DeleteYes, they do pierce your soul. They are quite extraordinary. As are yours Dezzy :)
Deletewhy, thank you :)
DeleteThe Last Witch Hunter sounds amazing - can't wait to see how it turns out.
ReplyDeleteeven if the movie is bad, Vin is always fun to watch
DeleteI loved A Wrinkle in Time when I was a kid. I need to reread it as an adult. I only vaguely remember it.
ReplyDeleteit seems it is a huge sf classic
DeleteThat's such a great pic of Elijah Wood. I saw him over the Fantasy Con weekend and he looked... rough, super casual. He's nice though. =D
ReplyDeletehe does tidy himself up for special photoshoots like this one :)
DeleteIs it just me or does Elijah Wood look like the guy who played Moriarty in Sherlock in that photo? Anyway, the project sounds cool.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't know, I don't do Sherlock :)
DeleteThe Last Witch Hunter sounds great I shall have to forget to tell the other half that Michael Caine is in it as she's not keen on him for some reason!
ReplyDeleteCaine can be a bit annoying, especially in his younger years :)
DeleteGALAVANT sounds rather good. Like Hugh Bonneville :)
ReplyDeleteHugh is always so delightful!
DeleteOh, that New York City is always trying to release plagues on humanity. Thank goodness we have Vin to save us.
ReplyDeleteindeed!
DeleteNot sure about the Last Witch Hunter although I do like Vinn. A Wrinkle in Time could be very cool so I'll be looking for that :)
ReplyDeleteI hear the book is quite a classic, even though I haven't heard about it before
DeleteI'm actually surprised it's taken them this long to adapt A WRINKLE IN TIME into a movie.
ReplyDeleteespecially since Disney has an amusement park about it
DeleteOoh, they all sound good.
ReplyDeleteglad to hear it
DeleteI LOVED Wrinkle in Time. I need to reread it. I remember writing my own Wrinkle in Time story when I was in jr. high for fun! Can't believe it took this long to be made into a movie!
ReplyDeletehope you will like the film if it gets made in the end
DeleteI had the biggest crush on Elija Wood when I was little. I remember seeing him in The War and thought he was going to turn out to be oh, so dreamy. Instead, we got Frodo lol. Oh well, he's still kinda cute in a boyish way. And the movie does sound interesting, so I'll still catch it :)
ReplyDeletehe did lose all of his potential charms with that godawful WILFRED show and with his quirky taste in roles
DeleteUgh! Wilfred was the absolute worst! Someone recommended we watch it, and I sat there for 3 episodes going wtf? Needless to say, we don't take show recommendations from that person anymore!
Deleteit took only five minutes of watching for me to realize it's a disgusting heap of television crap, especially since I positively despise that type of humour
DeleteThey've got plenty of time to tease us with The Last Witch Hunter. 2016 is LOOOONG wait for a movie.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, A Wrinkle In Time was very popular as a book. There will be high expectations from the fans on this one.
Indeed it is, dear, but then again we had movies announced here as far as 2019 :)
DeleteI know. Movieland starts pimping them too soon methinks.
Deletethe way things are progressing in Tinseltown, a trend to be expected are movies which are written, shot and released in less than a year. We already have movies which start production only eight months before the release.
DeleteLittle Elija is growing up and Vin as a witch hunter. An interesting selection today. Galavant still looks like it will be hilarious.
ReplyDeletehope GALAVANT won't be irritating but fun :)
DeleteWow. Elijah's all growed up! I wonder if he's going to be a baddie in this.
ReplyDeletewouldn't be surprised, he has fires of Mordor burning in his eyes :)
DeleteHey Dezzy. Yes, fresh rolls. Sometimes also fresh bagels during the work week mornings. Have a great week and boogie boogie.
ReplyDeleteI've never had such a treat in the mornings..... Such true happiness :)
DeleteElijah Wood is starting to look a bit more like an adult these days but still pretty baby-faced!
ReplyDeleteand still quite weird as a person :)
DeleteOh if only we could travel through time.... Where would you go, Dezz?
ReplyDeleteinto the future, very distant future....
DeleteSame here.
Deletewe might get some discount on a ticket for two.
DeleteNow you're talking.
Deletebut you is carrying our suitcases.....
Deletenever heard of the book
ReplyDeleteno surprise there
