And to finish in epic style, check out the first poster and trailer for Vin Diesel's fantasy adventure THE LAST WITCH HUNTER which brings the hunt into theatres this October just around Halloween!

Michael Caine, Elijah Wood and Ólafur Darri Ólafsson co-star in this fantasy thriller from director Breck Eisner (The Crazies).
Tut could be interesting. I was pretty bummed we missed the Kind Tut exhibit at the Chicago museum a few years back. I was hoping they'd come back around again, but no such luck.
ReplyDeleteI just hope Avan's acting in the series is better than in the trailer, because it seems horrid and artificial :( But I do look forward to the series!
DeleteAnd also to BEOWULF. Kieran is such a nice man, he even tweeted us thanks last time we wrote about it.
PS did I tell you that Antonio Banderas faved our post last week too :)
Say what!? You surely are getting noticed by the heavy hitters in Hollywood! Go Dezzy, Go Dezzy, Go!
Deletethat was just this week :) We usually get tweeted by celebs at least once or two times a month :) sometimes even more often
DeleteTut is a rut? I hope he wasn't a nut...
ReplyDeleteWhat's a rut, Blue?
DeleteWow. Good stuff coming up. How are you, Dez dear?
ReplyDeleteevery day is a good day when we have epic news!
DeleteI am in for the VD witch film... I know I am the only one.
ReplyDeleteI'm in too!
DeleteTUT?...uhmm, sounds good!
ReplyDeleteYes, I don't get the nickname either :)
DeleteAncient Egypt fascinates me. I'm also interested in watching Beowulf and seeing how that epic transfers to film or TV.
ReplyDeleteI think BEOWULF could be great. Kieran is brilliant and I've seen the sets and there is something huge brewing there :)
DeleteThe Last Witch Hunter has an interesting premise. Hope you have a great Friday!
ReplyDeleteworking one for me as usual.... this office never closes....
DeleteWhat a powerful trailer for Tut. Looks promising. Who doesn't like Vin.
ReplyDeleteeverybody lurvs Vinnie :)
DeleteI have a hard time loving Vinnie. I remember when his head got too big after the success of Fast and the Furious started and he turned into a real diva. Glad he got knocked back down a few pegs! He does have a super sexy voice and can read to me any time!
DeleteI always thought he is very much down to Earth. When did he behave like a diva? What did he do? I do find some of the stars off putting for being arrogant... Mark Wahlberg for example, Matt Damon and Affleck....
DeleteWhat a powerful trailer for Tut. Looks promising. Who doesn't like Vin.
ReplyDeleteyes, hope TUT does not disappoint!
DeleteAll three look pretty good :) Have a good weekend Dezzy.
ReplyDeleteGlad you agree!
DeleteYou know I love all the leather armor and swords. Ha! Will probably watch Beowulf just for the fashion tips. :P
ReplyDeleteI really like what they did with the costume, although I wish they kept Kieran's hair short.
DeleteI like the King Tut poster. It's artistic.
ReplyDeletedefinitely
DeleteWell HELLO Beowolf. :) He might make long hair have a come back. Yum!
ReplyDeleteall the way from the middle ages....
DeleteI've seen the other 2 movie adaptations of Beowulf, both of which were good in some regards and crappy in others. I hope this 3rd rendition hits a home run!
ReplyDeleteyep, the Angelina Jolie one was pure shit, but Gerard Butler's one was mildly fine
