LEE PACE JOINS
'PRISONER OF WAR' SF FILM!
Probably the most present actor of the current moment - our deeply beloved and irresistibly charismatic Lee Pace, whom you are currently watching as villainous Ronan the Accuser in GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY, and also on the small screens in HALT AND CATCH FIRE TV series over at AMC, and you will watch him as magnificent Elven king Thranduil in THE HOBBIT THE BATTLE OF THE FIVE ARMIES - has yet another new gig! According to 'Deadline' he will take the lead role in science fiction thriller PRISONER OF WAR joining Skyfall‘s Bérénice Marlohe in the story of an American soldier and a French foreign aid worker who team up in Africa amid humankind’s last stand against a cataclysmic alien invasion.
THE SECOND BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL TRAILER!
WITH JUDI DENCH, MAGGIE SMITH, BILL NIGHY, RICHARD GERE
And to open the weekend with something deeply delightful and positively marvellous - here's the first trailer for THE SECOND BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL sequel to the beloved John Madden's movie out next February. The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is the expansionist dream of Sonny (Dev Patel), and it's making more 
claims on his time than he has available, considering his imminent marriage to the love of his life, Sunaina (Tena Desae). Sonny has his eye on a promising property now that his first venture, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel for the Elderly and Beautiful, has only a single remaining vacancy - posing a rooming predicament for fresh arrivals Guy (Richard Gere) and Lavinia (Tamsin Greig). Evelyn and Douglas (Judi Dench and Bill Nighy) have now joined the Jaipur workforce, and are wondering where their regular dates for Chilla pancakes will lead, while Norman and Carol (Ronald Pickup and Diana Hardcastle) are negotiating the tricky waters of an exclusive relationship, as Madge (Celia Imrie)
juggles two eligible and very wealthy suitors. Perhaps the only one who may know the answers is newly installed co-manager of the hotel, Muriel (Maggie Smith), the keeper of everyone's secrets. As the demands of a traditional Indian wedding threaten to engulf them all, an unexpected way forward presents itself.

Marigold Hotel #2 looks wonderful? But oh no! Richard Gere is playing a retiree? Shoot me now, has it come to this?
ReplyDeleteLOL, he truly is of a mature age now :) Not, that he ever looked young....
DeleteLee Pace is certainly a busy actor! Marigold Hotel looks cute, but I agree with Debra - it's weird to see Richard Gere playing a retiree!
ReplyDeletehe is and deservedly!
DeleteWhat a fun trailer:)
ReplyDeletetotally fun :) I adored the first movie
DeleteI do love the way Lee Pace looks as Thranduil.
ReplyDeleteWith him in PRISONER OF WAR he might corner the market on the syfy/fantasy parts.
He is our Elven king and we bow to him (when Galadriel is absent).....
DeleteTHE SECOND BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL looks like it will be fun. Hard to think of Richard Gere as getting old, but then we all are.
ReplyDeleteHe kinda always looked old to me :)
DeleteMarigold Hotel #2... didn't everyone die in the end of the first film, kidding... that looks great!
ReplyDeleteNow, aren't you a cheeky lil' hawk.....
DeleteI think this is the first time I've seen Lee Pace outside of makeup. He kind of reminds me of "The Nerdist" himself.
ReplyDeleteWhat? You haven't seen him in Tarsem Sing's THE FALL? That is one of my all time fave movies
DeleteCan't wait to see THE SECOND BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL. Loved the first one. In fact I love anything Judy Dench is in :)
ReplyDeleteWe do adore Judi and bow to her!
DeleteJust too bad Dezz isn't in it.
DeleteI could play one of the fat monkeys in the hotel yard.....
DeleteI know I'm not supposed to smile....
DeleteI don't think I've seen Lee Pace in anything since Pushing Daisies went off air. I really liked that show.
ReplyDeletehe is so outstandingly brilliant. His Thranduil is one of my fave characters ever and his movie THE FALL is one of my all time faves.
Deletecan't wait to see this Dezzy : I love Judi and love, Maggie Smith and of course I adore Richard gere, awwww
ReplyDeletexoxoxo
