MINDBLOWING NEW 'DRACULA UNTOLD' TRAILER WITH LUKE EVANS, DOMINIC COOPER, SARAH GADON! ROALD DAHL'S 'ESIO TROT' BBC TV ADAPTATION WITH JUDI DENCH & DUSTIN HOFFMAN HEADS OVER TO USA

BBC'S 'ESIO TROT' HEADS TO USA
DUSTIN HOFFMAN & JUDI DENCH STAR
A delightful BBC One adaptation of Roald Dahl's ESIO TROT has been bought for USA distribution by the Weinstein Company. The 90 minute TV movie will see Dustin Hoffman playing Mr Hoppy, a retired bachelor who harbours a secret passion for his neighbour, Mrs Silver (Judi Dench). Unfortunately, she lavishes all her affection on Alfie… her pet tortoise. He devises a plot to win her affections, after he learns of her wish for Alfie to be bigger. James Corden and Ricky Gervais also star in the film.

NEW 'DRACULA UNTOLD' TRAILER
LUKE EVANS AND BATS ARE RULING MEDIEVAL WALACHIA
Universal has released a new trailer (which shows more than we've seen in the first one) for this Autumn's biggest epic adventure DRACULA UNTOLD which will see Welsh hunk Luke Evans grow some fangs on October 3rd in UK and 17th in USA. Also starring Dominic Cooper as the Turkish sultan, Samantha Barks as Baba Yaga, Sarah Gadon as Dracula's wife, Charlie Cox and Charles Dance, the story of this amazing historical adventure takes place in Romania during the Turkish invasion as Vlad Tepes (Luke Evans) goes to the greatest of lengths to fight for his homeland, even if it means selling his soul and becoming forever doomed as a creature of the night. He will become Dracula in order to protect his family and his country from the invading butchers of the Turkish sultan.

    Judi Dench and Dustin Hoffman together should be interesting.

      indeed, I'm not a fan of Dustin's but he was great as a director in THE QUARTET with Maggie Smith and Bill Nighy

      well, if you have a convenient cave over in Walstonia.... :) It's funny but I actually have a bat in my backyard, sleeps probably at one of neighbours' attics.... likes to fly out at night which is why I go outside to my yard when the darkness falls only in the company of my cat Ignatius :)

      We actually have a hospital nearby that bats have taken over the parking garage.

      If you ever get to see series one or two or three, it's really well worth the watch.

      Got your note about eggs whites. Not sure what you mean, but no, no one I know uses them from a box, we just part out our own eggs.

      That's not to say some don't buy them, but to me, it's a waste of money and a crappy product to use in anything.

    3. DEZMONDSeptember 3, 2014 at 2:42 PM

      I was shocked when I saw that they sell eggwhites packed in cartoons over there... what the what? How do you even measure it and how long can it last packed like that... it sure ain't fresh.... Although I can understand the need if you're making tones of pavlova's and such cakes....

    4. The Happy WhiskSeptember 5, 2014 at 1:58 AM

      I don't know, as I say I don't buy it. Right now I'm groovin' on the eggs from the farmer down the road. Wonderful stuff.

    You know I'm tired of Dracula after all the teen coverage of it. But, Luke is in it, sooooo I'll watch it. While I don't want him to bite me and drink my blood, I wouldn't mind if he nuzzled my neck.
