'BLACK LUNGS' THRILLER
AMANDA SEYFRIED AND THEO JAMES IN LEAD ROLES
The two of them will certainly make an exquisitely hot couple on the big screen, won't they? According to 'The Hollywood Reporter' gorgeous Amanda Seyfried and Divergent's young hunkster Theo James will take the lead roles in BLACK LUNGS supernatural thriller which will centre on Del (Amanda Seyfried), the wife of a Utah coal miner who has a premonition about an impending disaster, which ultimately saves her husband's (Theo James) life. This puts the husband under suspicion when a mine explosion traps several 
other miners, as the wife's visions keep getting worse and worse, hinting at a sinister, supernatural force within the mountain.
HBO'S 'MAMMA DALLAS' CASTS
AUGUSTUS PREW, NICO TORTORELLA, MARY GARRISON
In television news today, here's something that sounds possibly fun: HBO has gathered up cast for their new comedy series MAMMA DALLAS! The half
hour comedy follows a couple, Carrie Cox (Mary Catherine Garrison)
and Hugh Cox (Paul Fitzgerald), who unwittingly hire a hard-living drag
queen as their live-in nanny. Liberty (Augustus Prew) appears to be an
attractive woman with a flirty side — but she’s really a drag queen with
an upbeat personality. On a path that leads to jail or prostitution or
both, Liberty (also known as Albert) sees a future that will destroy his
basically optimistic spirit and re-invents himself to get a job as a
nanny to three children of a conservative Texan family. With her
decorating business
taking off, perfectionistic Carrie needs a nanny to
help with the kids, and it doesn’t occur to Carrie that she’s having a
long talk about childrearing with a drag queen. Hugh is an earnest,
successful man with political aspirations who is deathly afraid of any
hint of scandal. Nico Tortorella will play Liberty’s lowlife boyfriend
Jesse, who runs a chop shop and steals high-priced sports cars with
Liberty’s help. He’s horrified that his macho friends will find out he’s
dating a guy.

'MR HOLMES' 1ST CLIP WITH
OUTSTANDING IAN MCKELLEN
The first clip has been released for Ian McKellen's MR. HOLMES directed by Bill Condon! It’s 1947, and upon returning from Japan having witnessed the atomic devastation, the world’s greatest 
detective has settled into his remote farmhouse. The 93-year-old Holmes has only the company of his housekeeper (Laura Linney) and her young son (Milo Parker). Grappling with diminishing mental 
powers, Holmes relies on the boy as he revisits the circumstances of the unsolved case that forced him into retirement and searches for answers to the mysteries of life and love – before it’s too late.

I'm looking forward to "Mr Holmes" so much! I love both Ian McKellen and Sherlock Holmes, so how can the combo not be fabulous? Aging and the diminishment it brings interest me as well, in a kind of anxiety-ridden, dreading way.
ReplyDeleteIan McKellen is such a true legend! I really hope you haven't missed his VICIOUS! I have a feeling you'd appreciate that one like me :)
DeleteI ADORE "Vicious!" I'm eagerly awaiting Season 2. Unfortunately PBS did not carry their Christmas special so I missed that.
DeleteOh, Christmas special was such delight :) I peed in my pants ten times during it!
DeleteOh damn, now I want to see it EVEN MORE!
DeleteI can find you a torrent link if you wanna download :) I actually have the whole series in my computer
DeleteMama Dallas sounds like an updated Mrs. Doubtfire. Might be funny, but we'll wait to see what others say first.
ReplyDeleteI just hope they won't make it weird and overly rude, given that she goes stealing cars with Nico.... that kinda made me less optimistic
DeleteProbably will be. It seems a lot of tv shows are going for raunchy and rude instead of wholesome and funny :(
Deleteit's either rude and crude humour, or extreme bloodthirsty violence... that is the way America rolls these days :( Sometimes I feel they are preparing for WW3 by first making the nation totally insensitive
DeleteSay it's NOT a reboot.
Deleteit's not
DeleteMr. Holmes could be an interesting movie - hard to go wrong with Sir Ian.
ReplyDeletehe truly never goes wrong!
DeleteI like all three features you have today. Such diverse stories... thank you, Dezzy.
ReplyDeletesome days really bring mixed up news :)
DeleteI remember when you told us about MR. HOLMES the first time. I've wondered when it would come out.
ReplyDeleteAmanda Seyfried better not have that dress on in BLACK LUNGS, can you imagine getting coal dust out of that!
yep, definitely ain't a dress for a mining town! We have a mining town in my country in which people can't even dry their laundry outside!
DeleteOne a great idea, Mr. Holmes... and of course Sir Ian, brilliant. Amanda is just stares at me, which is very okay!
ReplyDeleteglad to hear it's okay, otherwise we would be scared and frightened
DeleteI love Amanda, but you made a typo with AMANDA SEYFRIEND
ReplyDeleteoh, it's only in the title, I will fix it
DeleteDon't fix it! I don't care what she's called. Those eyes.... THOSE EYES!
Deletefixed already
DeleteMR. HOLMES looks wonderful
ReplyDeleteindeed
DeleteThese all look quite good, Dez :)
ReplyDeleteagreed, Marcy
DeleteBlack Lungs look really interesting.
ReplyDeletecould be intriguing
DeleteOh, I love Ian McKellan! And that trailer makes me want to see this for sure. Black Lungs sounds intriguing too.
ReplyDeleteIan is the second celebrity we bow too whenever we hear his name... after Judi Dench (all bow)!
DeleteMr. Holmes, what a great idea.
ReplyDeleteHope you're well, Dezzy!
More or less, usually less than more :) Hope it's different with you!
DeleteAmanda Seyfried... Amanda Seyfried.... her very name makes me blush.
ReplyDeleteSay it again.
does make you go purple? I mean red plus blue....
DeleteGood point. Everything goes purple when I see her.
Deletepurple it is
DeleteGandalf becomes Holmes! Ian is a great actor, so I'm looking forward to this movie!
ReplyDeleteGreetings
