UNIVERSAL'S 'VIKINGR'
HISTORICAL EPIC MOVIE
Baltasar Kormakur (CONTRABAND), who is currently directing mountain climbing drama EVEREST, will also helm Universal Pictures' VIKINGR epic movie saga based on the classic tales deriving from the legendary Icelandic Sagas, which document larger than life heroes, adventures and battles of early Nordic settlers, as well as daily life in the Viking age.
SCARLETT JOHANSSON IN 'THE CUSTOM OF THE COUNTRY' MINI SERIES
Meanwhile, Scarlett Johansson is also moving to the small screen since she's just taken the lead role in historical mini series THE CUSTOM OF THE COUNTRY which Sony Pictures TV will adapt from Edith Wharton's novel.  The 1913 novel tells the story of Undine Spragg, an ambitious but socially naive Midwestern girl who attempts to climb New York's social ladder with mixed results.

1ST 'POLDARK' TRAILER WITH
 LOTS OF NAKED AIDAN TURNER
You trailer treat for today (and I hope ITV doesn't take it down from YouTube before you see it, if they do, stay tuned and I'll post the trailer here when it appears again or see it here) is the first truly gorgeous one for ITV's new historical series POLDARK and the ladies will love it since lead star Aidan Turner is naked in it a lot!  The eight part series is set in 18th century Cornwall following the story of the rebellious Ross POLDARK as he returns from the American War of Independence to Cornwall, only to find that his old world is ruined: his father is dead, the family mine long since closed, his house wrecked and his sweetheart pledged to marry his cousin. But Ross finds that hope and love can be found when you are least expecting it in the wild but beautiful Cornish landscape. Scheduled to air next year, the series will also star Eleanor Tomlinson from WHITE QUEEN and JACK THE GIANT SLAYER.

    1. try the red link I left in the post, that's the only one which is still up... until ITV find them :) I really despise ITV's marketing... they did the same with THE GREAT FIRE series which starts in a couple of weeks and has no marketing - the trailer for that one was also unavailable for embedding for almost a year... It is as if they don't want us to promote their programmes. I'm sick of such behaviour.... Starz does the same often.

    2. Yeah, the link worked. Wow, he's got a great dark, brooding male look. The scenes look like they're right out of a romance novel. :D

  5. I'm glad Scarlett is branching out. She is a talented actress. Congrats Cath J. on the new movie role. Dad's Army sounds like a different type of comedy. Those themes are usually the setting of Dramas.

    1. it's a comedy because they're all hilarious in that squad, all lost cases whom the army wouldn't take ... Similar to famous sitcom ALO, ALO

  6. How I loved DAD'S ARMY growing up! And I think they've nailed the cast. Can't wait :)

    POLDARK will be good. I remember the original. And for good measure, Aidan Turner will be naked a lot! :)

  12. I don't mind remakes but I'm a bit dubious about Dad's Army. I'm a big fan of the original series having grown up with it and hope they don't ruin it. However, I'm rather excited about Poldark. Looks like more of my writing time will be lost to the TV next year :)
