SAM WORTHINGTON TO VISIT
OCTAVIA SPENCER IN 'THE SHACK'
Sometime ago I announced that one of world's bestselling books William Paul Young's THE SHACK is getting a movie adaptation 
and earlier last winter we announced that Octavia Spencer will play the God in it, and now 'Empire' reports that Australian hunk Sam Worthington has joined the movie in the lead role as a man whose youngest daughter is kidnapped during a family holiday. Evidence turns up in an abandoned shack to suggest she was murdered, which stymies the case. But then, four years later, he receives a note, apparently from God, inviting him to go back to the ruined building. He accepts, against his better judgement, and what he finds there changes his life forever.

'ALBION:RISE OF DANANN'
WITH DEBRA MESSING, LIAM MCINTYRE, STEPHEN DORFF AND JOHN CLEESE
Well, this is quite a strong cast for a film we've never heard of
before and it shoots this month! 'Deadline' reports that John Cleese
and Debra Messing have joined the cast of fantasy film ALBION: RISE OF
THE DANANN, in which Cleese will play the villian, a tyrannical leader
of Albion while Messing will portray the queen. SPARTACUS star Liam
McIntyre and Daniel Sharman also star in the film about a 12-year-old
girl (Avery Rath) who is carried away to a faraway land on a magical
horse. Stephen Dorff will portray her father, while Jennifer Morrison
appears as a psychologically fractured woman in the alternate universe.

There is also a photo of Adam Driver as Sith Lord Kylo Ren and Oscar Isaac as X-Wing fighter Poe 
Dameron posing for this exclusive and rather luxurious Annie Leibovitz photo shoot for 'Vanity Fair'!

Debra Messing is a good choice to play a Celtic Warrior Queen, with her long red hair and fierceness!
ReplyDeleteYou reckon she'll be Celtic?
DeleteJohn Cleese and Debra Messing? Now that could be interesting.
ReplyDeletewhat a strange combo, yes?
DeleteI have never seen Star Wars, but I did have that horrid Princess Leia hair for a high school dance one time.
ReplyDeletehe he ... wish you had a photo of it
DeleteOh Boy!! Oh Boy!! A new Star Wars movie. Yay!!!
ReplyDeleteand two spinoffs are coming too... one next year, the other one about Boba Fett in 2018
DeleteVery cool pics for Star Wars... and that trailer just reawakens the coolness because of the music. Happy happy!
ReplyDeletenow, there you go, your day has been fulfilled
DeleteI have high hopes for the new star wars movie. I do hope they won't be dashed like they were with the last three.
ReplyDeleteI wish they've chosen someone charismatic in the cast
DeleteI'm not a Star Wars fan, but even I admit that cover is pretty spiffy!
ReplyDeletewho wouldn't like to pose for a photo with aliens and monsters... and I don't mean posing with the family :)
DeleteLove that cover. It looks like Star Wars is finally getting back to its roots. It's about time!!!
ReplyDeleteit's a good sign when they don't have that godawful Natalie UnImportant in the cast
DeleteOooh Albion looks intriguing. I like both Messing and Cleese but would never have pictured them working together.
ReplyDeleteDid you see the pics Leibovitz took of the Queen? The Queen didn't like taking direction, but Leibovitz is a pro and she pulled off the shoot. God, I remember her work for Rolling Stone in the 60's and 70'.s I just adore her.
Guess what? I'm going with The Spawn tomorrow to look at wedding dresses. She's to be married in January 2016. I shall most likely cry when I see her try them on, so I'll be taking tissues with me.
Me neither, I don't think anyone of them has ever acted in an epic movie.
DeleteI did, too much fur around the queen for me at that photoshoot.
Enjoy the wedding shopping, it's one time in life :) Is she going for something unusual?
Knowing The Spawn I would expect her to want something different from the norm. I can't imagine finding anything exotic in this area though. I'm guessing we'll have to look in Indianapolis, which is a big city, or Muncie, which is in a really cool and fun University town.
ReplyDeleteHope she finds something special. Will it be a big wedding, are all the relatives flying in? Will it be at the freshly renovated Castle de O'Leary? What is the mother of the bride wearing?
DeleteI've read The Shack. It is an interesting book. I'm sure it will make for an interesting movie.
ReplyDeleteit was such a huge bestseller around the world
DeleteOctavia Spencer is popping up everywhere these days.
ReplyDeleteand she's playing the God here :)
DeleteGreat photos.
ReplyDeleteYou have me interested in The Shack. I want to read and watch it.
it was such a huge hit around the world when it came out
DeleteHow come that hairy ape doesn't have grey hair?
ReplyDeleteStar Wars = IV, V, VI. That's it. No?
I've no idea, I had bad marks in maths....
DeleteThat new Star Wars is a must see for me. I was a great fan of these movies from the very first one!
ReplyDeleteMay the force be with me, that I can wait that long!
Greetings
Peter
