'SHANNARA' EPIC TV SERIES
CASTS MARCUS VANCO, DANIEL MACPHERSON, BROOKE WILLIAMS
Our main television headline today is that MTV's small screen adaptation of fantasy saga SHANNARA has two new cast members who will join Austin Butler and Poppy Drayton in the lead roles alongside Ivana Baquero, Aaron Jakubenko, Manu Bennett and John Rhys Davies. According to 'Deadline' Brooke Williams ('Spartacus: Blood And Sand'), Daniel MacPherson ('Neighbours'), and Marcus Vanco ('Unbroken') have joined the cast of the 10-episode epic fantasy drama based on Terry Brooks’ massive fantasy book series set in our world, 
thousands of years after the destruction of our civilization.
ELVES AND ANCIENT MAGIC
The story follows the SHANNARA family, whose descendants are empowered with ancient magic and whose adventures continuously reshape the future of the world. Brooke Williams will play Catania, a witty and wise Elf who is not only Elven princess Amberle’s (Poppy Drayton) handmaiden, but her trusted best friend in the palace. Daniel MacPherson is Arion, the heir to the Elvin throne. Arion takes himself very seriously and is the opposite of his
wilder brother Ander (Aaron Jakubenko). Marcus Vanco plays Bandon. Feared by his family for his mysterious visions, Bandon is discovered by Elvin prince Wil (Austin Butler) and Amberle starving and chained to a wall. Druid Allanon (Manu Bennett) takes special interest in him, believing his abilities will be integral in saving the Four Lands. Cast also includes Ivana Baquero (Eretria, a human thief) and John Rhys-Davies (King Eventine, Amberle's grandfather, who has ruled the
Elvin kingdom of Arborlon for decades)!

'LEGEND OF ZELDA' TO BECOME
EPIC TV SERIES AT NETFLIX?
In other news from the epic series front today, after hitting success with MARCO POLO historical series, which is
getting its second season, Netflix is planning another adventure series:
they will adapt LEGEND OF ZELDA popular video game into epic series!
This light hearted swords and sorcery saga revolves around an ordinary
boy named Link who must save Princess Zelda and her fantasy world
Hyrule. Netflix will work closely with Nintendo on the possible
development of this project.
Netflix is surely expanding and those Nintendo fans will want to watch the Legend of Zelda on television.
ReplyDeleteHopefully they really do it... it's just a rumour so far
DeleteI still need to read these books. Or maybe I'll just wait for the series to hit the screen. Especially if it stars Mr. "Check Out My Abs" MacPherson. :)
ReplyDeletethat gorgeous hunk MacPherson was actually so kind to retweet our post yesterday at Twitter :) And I posted a full nude photo of him there yesterday :)
DeleteAfter seeing John Rhys Davies as a successful dwarf I cannot imagine him as an Elf.
ReplyDeleteI can imagine him as anything if he is set in an epic world :) You can't have an epic movie without him, from LOTR and INDIANA JONES to this one
DeleteJason and I were obsessed with playing Zelda when we were kids. I'd like to see it become a reality, only if they do it right though. This is one I could see us enjoying together.
ReplyDeleteor hating together. I can see this either being really good or really bad.
Deleteit might not happen at all :) It's in very early stages of talks and might fall apart before it gets into any stage of production
DeleteI've heard quite a bit of talk about it lately. If it's already causing some buzz like this, I bet it gets a green light.
Deleteyou never know
DeleteThat first pic...nice.
ReplyDeleteThe Legend of Zelda? I spent so many hours on that game until I finally won. It would be interesting to watch it on TV.
We have a very much nude pics of him at Twitter too :) He is ever so nom nom... and kind too... retweeted us yesterday
DeleteWow. We read the Shannara books but I don't recognize any of those characters or situations. Is this only going to loosely based on the world?
ReplyDeleteI've no idea, should be based on those books, not sure whether they start from the first or second one
DeleteI am not sure how I feel about Zelda. I think it's one of the movies I might get dragged to and then secretly end up enjoying.
ReplyDeleteit will be a series, not a movie :)
DeleteWhat am I doing here staring at man nipples again when I know I'm supposed to be prepping classes? Well?
ReplyDeleteI see no man nipples, just some hot abs :)
DeleteI love abs.
DeleteHis are fabs.
Am I ze fool,
B'cause I drool?
you can see him almost full naked at our Facebook and Twitter pages :)
DeleteAbs pfffffffffft.... you should see my sexy........... money. :p
Deleteshow us the money!
DeleteI knew it... no one gives an ass about my butt.
DeleteI'm kind of ready for some reality. Not the "follow everyone into the bathroom or kitchen" kind of reality, but something that doesn't have elves or elf relatives.
ReplyDeletebut we haven't had much of Elves outside LOTR movies and Hobbit :(
DeleteHOORAY ZELDA!!!
ReplyDeletethat is all....;-)
enough said!
DeleteVery concise!
