DELIGHTFUL NEW TRAILER
'SECOND BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL' WITH JUDI DENCH
A charming treat for today is new trailer for SECOND BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL, the expansionist dream of Sonny (Dev Patel), which is making more claims on his time than he has available, considering his imminent marriage to the love of his life, Sunaina. 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. The movie is out next March!
I could watch Kate Winslet in just about anything, and I must admit the revenge angle has me intrigued.
ReplyDeleteKate is the queen! The movie will be more of an inspiring comedy drama if I got it right since she will change the town with her style
DeleteI'm with Bob, I do love Kate Winslet.
ReplyDeleteCharles Dance is typecast as the villain, alien or not.
we're not yet sure if those aliens will be villains :) But Dance does have that villainous vibe in him :)
DeleteThe only time aliens were not the villains was in E.T. ;-)
Deletetrue that :) Although, I've always thought humans would turn out to be the biggest galactic villains :)
DeleteThe second Marigold Hotel movie looks even better than the first! Plus -- Bollywood dancing!
ReplyDeletewe so adore MARIGOLD HOTEL franchise!
DeleteI think Kate Winslet is one of the best. Should be a good film. As will the Second Marigold Hotel :)
ReplyDeletehope we get a trailer for DRESSMAKER and also for Kate's LITTLE CHAOS
DeleteKate looks very good. Haven't seen the first Marigold Hotel yet!
ReplyDeleteOh, you must, it is such a marvellous movie! With truly outstanding cast
DeleteSeems like yesterday when Kate Winslet was in Titanic
ReplyDeleteprobably her worst movie. I love her for HEAVENLY CREATURES, LITTLE CHILDREN, READER....
DeleteYep, Kate Winslet gets a thumbs up from me along with Childhood's End.
ReplyDeletefrom me too
DeleteKate Winselt looks great and the Second Marigold Hotel looks like a fun movie.
ReplyDeleteMARIGOLD HOTEL is such a delight!
DeleteI agree with Mason. Kate Winslet looks great. Liam Hemsworth makes it a must see.
ReplyDeletethey do seem to have a great chemistry at the set, there were tones of paparazi pics of the two of them having fun at the set
DeleteI swear, Kate Winslet just screams old world class. She is such a stunner!
ReplyDeleteshe's the queen! And Blanchett is the empress
DeleteKate looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen McMahon in anything in a long time...F/X and Fantastic Four.
he was so great in F.FOUR, too bad they're rebooting that one eventhough it had a perfect cast
DeleteWhoa, I didn't even recognize Kate there. Hubby bought the first Marigold movie.
ReplyDeleteit was such a brilliant movie and such a success at the box office!
DeleteKate Winslet and revenge - watch those shears! If "Childhood's End" includes Julian - I'm in! Daisy is so cute. Okay The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (what a mouthful) Is going to win all of the big awards - might as well see it!! Lovely cast - all my favs.
ReplyDeleteThose movies with senior actors have become the best ones in recent years from MARIGOLD HOTEL and THE QUARTET (with Maggie and Nighy) to recent THE HUNDRED FOOT JOURNEY. Not to mention BBC's CRANFORD series which had all of the British senior ladies shining in it or VICIOUS with McKellen and Jacobi, and LAST TANGO IN HALIFAX with Jacobi
