SEAN BEAN TO TOPLINE
THE FRANKENSTEIN CHRONICLES' TELEVISION SERIES
Still a very slow period in movie news business, people, so we're sticking to the small screens, starting with an interesting info coming over from the United Kingdom, where their ITV Encore will produce a television series on infamous monster Frankenstein. Titled THE FRANKENSTEIN CHRONICLES, this modern reworking of Mary Shelley's 19th century horror story will see Sean Bean play John Marlott, a detective who must battle a creature born of dark science in six one hour episodes! Meanwhile, a number of Frankenstein movies is coming to the big screens, including the one in which James McAvoy is Dr. Frankenstein with Daniel Radcliffe as his hunchback butler Igor!

Daniel Radcliffe as Igor. That would be a sight to see!
ReplyDeleteIt is always a delight playing Igor! Him, and King Lear's court jester :)
DeleteWill Sean Bean survive? He has been known to disappear from movies and shows. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHope Frankie doesn't eat him! Did he survive in LEGENDS?
DeleteI never saw Legends. I'll have to look it up.
Deletetwas the latest of his shows, it got cancelled recently :)
DeleteShhh, don't tell me that :( I'm still watching season 1 here in the US and I really like it.
DeleteIt just didn't satisfy the audience worldwide.
DeleteJames Denton YAY! He's from Goodlettsville, Tennessee, which is pretty much where I'm from (Hendersonville, about 10 miles away). I just LOVED him in Desperate Housewives--although even he wasn't enough to keep me watching that show after the first season or two, when it devolved into soap opera blahness.
ReplyDeleteyep, that show did go the wrong path after first two or three seasons when they pretty much turned into a crime show with new characters they didn't know what to do with .. but it was always well written when it comes to the four main characters
DeleteOkay from Harry to humped... and...
ReplyDeleteUh - today's picking are so nice, Dezmond dear. I was drooling over Sean, then lusting for James, when I suddenly realized: "This will be the best Halloween ever."
can't beat strip or treat :)
DeleteLooking forward to the McAvoy / Radcliffe "Frankenstein."
ReplyDeletehope we get some pics or a trailer this year
Deleteit sounds interesting, I'd like to see how that turns out
Deletecould be good, or very bad
DeleteI don't care which way it goes -- I'd watch James McAvoy read the phone book!
Deletesame here, although, I must admit I don't like his movie choices lately, he's gone crime/violent in recent years
DeleteI like the sound of THE FRANKENSTEIN CHRONICLES. I prefer the mini series style, rather than a long series where they often run out of ideas but keep going anyway.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm loving your stylish pumpkin shirt. Not many can pull off orange, but I reckon you could master any colour.
Mini series are the new craze in television world! They now call them event series.
DeleteI really could :) although I prefer not to wear black (when I want dark I go midnight blue) and some colours I wear only in details
I don't mind the occasional black, but I usually jazz it up with bright colour.
Deleteoops, my bad.... event series! I must remember that!
and then there's the mix between British 'drama' and American 'show' or 'series' (the word Brits use for 'season' not for 'show')
DeleteHa, being Aussie, I'm used to a mix of Brit and American language.
DeleteI bet you have your own words too down there :) I wish Ryan Kwanten would teach me some of them :)
DeleteJust love Sean Bean. At least you provided some awesome eyecandy today Dezzy. Thanks.
ReplyDeletehope you will like his new series!
DeleteMight be slow for movies, but I think all the tv shows sound good! I'd really like to catch that Frankenstein Chronicles! I haven't seen James Denton in anything since Desperate Housewives, so I am happy he's going to be in something that I will probably watch.
ReplyDeleteyep, TV programmes have become much better than most movies in recent years. I'm missing Marcia Cross from HOUSEWIVES! Most other cast members have found other work.
DeleteSean Bean is amazing in everything - even when he's dead, he's amazing!
ReplyDeleteladies seem to like him a lot
Deletehmmm...Sean Bean in Frankenstein? Sounds interesting. I wonder is he'll survive this one :)
ReplyDeletethat is the question
DeleteI love a good Frankenstein flick, a series will be interesting. (or mini-series, right?)
ReplyDeletelimited series they call it :) They have so many new terms and words when it comes to TV, event series, limited series, single camera comedy, multicamera comedy, scripted, unscripted ... :)
DeleteKarma'a bitch Big Daddy...I mean Baby Daddy. But really in those outfits? Magic touch hmm...good luck Good Witch. So much Frankenstein...that's about it I guess.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to have that bear costume from BABY DADDY! I'd walk the house in winter in it
DeleteMore man tits. Now try and do the same with woman tits in your next post. We're so brainwashed....
ReplyDeleteThere really were lots of man tits this week, but such were the news :) There were naked ladies too, but you don't notice those....
DeleteI don't? Show me one. Just one. (No elf.)
DeleteMargot Robbie and Gal Gadot had tits and bums showing :)
