JUDE LAW TO BECOME
VATICAN'S FIRST 'YOUNG POPE'?
In today's television news at the beginning of the week, 'Deadline' reports that Jude Law is negotiating to become first young Pontiff! He might take the lead role in Italian mini series THE YOUNG POPE written by Oscar winner Paolo Sorrentino. Taking part in Vatican, USA and Africa, the story follows a fictional pope who is the first Italian American in history to hold the post, and examines his fears, conflicts, struggles, and the search for meaning and the need for love.
'OF KINGS AND PROPHETS' FINDS ITS PRINCESS
Earlier last week I announced Ray Winstone as the first cast member of ABC's new historical series OF KINGS AND PROPHETS in which he will play King Saul of Israel, and now Maisie Richardson Sellers has joined him as princess Michal, his youngest daughter! This epic biblical saga of faith, ambition and betrayal will be told through the eyes of a battle weary king (Ray Winstone), a powerful and resentful prophet and a resourceful young shepherd on a collision course with destiny.

NEW 'TOMMOROWLAND' TRAILER
REMEMBER TOMORROW!
With the new poster, a new trailer has also been released for sf movie TOMORROWLAND which arrives into theatres this May with George Clooney as Frank Walker, a former boy genius inventor who joins forces with teen Casey Newton (Britt Robertson) to head to a place somewhere in time and space that exists in their collective memory. Hugh Laurie is also in the cast.
Tomorrowland looks interesting, which is more than I can say for Clooney now that he's an old, boring married guy. LOL
ReplyDeleteand always such a bad bad bad actor... no matter the age
DeleteTomorrowland... looks like a good movie, I though have my reserves. and I say hello to...Maisie Richardson Sellers... Hello!
ReplyDeleteyep, judging from the trailer it seems chaotic
Delete*ahem* The new series should be BARDS and Prophets. :P
ReplyDeleteOoh, and I am liking the premise of Tomorrowland very much!! Fun clip. :)
no bards in those ancient times
DeleteJude Law as a pope... there's an actor!
ReplyDeleteIs it me or does anyone else find George Clooney boring?
boring and a horrid actor... and an ugly face if you ask me :)
DeleteI think he's ugly too, but no one likes me saying that!! Thanks, Dezz!
Deletewe like to shout it from the rooftops :)
Delete"Tomorrowland" looks pretty good, I think. I just love how girls are being cast these days in the "hero roles" that would traditionally have gone to boys in old movies.
ReplyDeletethat girl got noticed in that boring UNDER THE DOME show.
DeleteI like the concept of Tomorrow Land, but Clooney - really..hmm who would you pick for that part Dez?
ReplyDeletehe is horrid in any part!
DeleteHe is over-rated ...I wonder how long he will remain married? Just sayin'
Deleteas long as he can have Brad Pitt as his secret lover without Amal caring about it :)
DeleteI agree. George Clooney is soooo boring! I don't like movies that really focus on religion, but I can see maybe getting into The Young Pope. Especially with Jude Law as the lead!
ReplyDeleteit won't be a movie but a series in 8 episodes :)
DeleteThat's just a really long movie then ;)
Deletetoo true
DeleteI loved the Borgias which surprised me so I am definitely in for Jude Law's role as the Pope. Anything Sci Fi of course will be a definite watch!
ReplyDeleteI liked the European BORGIA series, but not the Showtimes'
DeleteI think the concept of Tomorrowland is interesting. Not sure about Clooney in it, though.
ReplyDeleteglad there is mutual agreement on Clooney today

ReplyDeleteTomorrowland looks thrilling. I haven't seen a Jude Law film in a while. I've enjoyed his previous films.
ReplyDeletehe is always a delight to watch
DeleteI need a time travel app.
