FIRST 'DAD'S ARMY' PHOTOS
WITH CATHERINE ZETA JONES, MICHAEL GAMBON & BILL NIGHY
Only a few weeks ago I announced the work on the remake of British 70's sitcom DAD'S ARMY and now, with the movie production already under way, we have the first photos with the stellar cast which includes
Catherine Zeta Jones, Bill Nighy, Michael Gambon and Toby Jones! The
hilarious comedy follows a provincial British Home Guard in 1944 as they
ready themselves to invade France at the height of 
World War II. As
they spend their days, mostly doing nothing productive, their laziness
is interrupted by the arrival of the sassy and mysterious female
journalist into their town!

'FREE FIRE' FINDS STELLAR CAST
LUKE EVANS, OLIVIA WILDE, ARMIE HAMMER, CILLIAN MURPHY
Speaking of fights and the 70s, you will see those in Ben Wheatley's FREE FIRE movie which has rounded up a rather stellar cast lead by currently the biggest epic star Luke Evans (DRACULA UNTOLD, HOBBIT, CROW) alongside Olivia Wilde, Armie Hammer, Cillian Murphy! The story is set in 1978 Boston, following a woman named Justine (Olivia Wilde) who has set up a meeting between two Irishmen (Cillian Murphy and Michael Smiley) and a gang lead by Luke Evans and Armie Hammer for an arms deal. When shots are fired before the deal is made, the meeting turns into a deadly game of survival.
Ben Wheatley is currently finishing another 70's movie HIGH RISE which also stars Luke Evans next to a starstudded ensemble cast including Tom Hiddleston, Jeremy Irons and James Purefoy!

ReplyDeleteOn a side note, sorry for delayed commenting. We will be home tomorrow from a long week at Disney. I've never been more ready to end a vacation before lol!
We missed you, dear! I knew something was going on :) Hope you seen all kinds of wonders at Disney!!
DeleteWe did, but it was our second trip. It just didn't have that magical spark as the first one did, but it was still fun. I don't think we'll be making the trip again to Florida. Maybe we'll check out Disneyland in California sometime though. I have family there, so we could knock out 2 birds with one stone if we headed there for our next vacation.
Deletethat is what's family is for - so that you can crash their places... not that I would know....
DeleteI can't wait for Dad's Army! Brilliant cast :)
ReplyDeletetruly outstanding! And love seeing Catherine returning to her island roots! I've recently seen reruns of DARLING BUDS OF MAY and it brought back fond memories
DeleteDezzy... are you in it?
Deletein DARLING BUDS OF MAY? That show was shot when me was but a baby coon!
DeleteSo many big names in all of these. Is Dad's Army based on a true story?
ReplyDeleteNope, it is based on a classic British comedy series which had every episode watched by stunning 18 million viewers!
DeleteCan you tell me how I can get the "reply" gadget so my comments will work like yours? I'm computer gadetry challenge when it comes to blogspot. Thank you.
DeleteI think that you need to adjust your comment form over in your dashboard so that your comments do not open in a separate page or box. I think that the reply button works only when comments are under the post. You have those options in the comment section at your dashboard
