'LEADING LADY' TRAILER
KATHY MCGRATH & GIL BELLOWS
Check out the delightful romantic trailer for new comedy movie LEADING LADY in which Katie McGrath plays an idealistic British drama school teacher, Jodi Rutherford, who persuades a cynical South African farmer to prepare her for a role in a major film as an Afrikaans war heroine. In return Jodi undertakes to direct the annual concert on the Willemse farm. Jodi's interaction with the quirky small town citizens and the stubborn Kobus, teaches her that: "there is more to life than lights... camera... and action!" Bok Van Blerk and Gil Bellows also star. 
I'll be waiting for Leading Lady. :D
ReplyDeleteshould be one of those fun little movies!
DeleteLeading Lady looks like a cute rom-com. Let It Snow looks like it could be fun. I might have the book in my collection.
ReplyDeleteit's possible that you do, it's a rather old book
DeleteLooking forward to "The Night Manager" of course!
ReplyDeleteI wonder why... wink, wink
DeleteLet it Snow sounds exciting Dezzy! I would like to read it first so it will definitely be in my to read list.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to translating it, especially since I adore festive atmosphere!
DeleteI love a holiday romance so I will be waiting to see Let it Snow. I have never heard of the book. I must read it first!
ReplyDeleteit's been around for a while, I first mentioned it back in 2011, so imagine my surprise when my publisher told me she bought it for me to translate :)
DeleteMe is so happy that you have a book to translate dahlink. I clicked on the link from four years ago and discovered that it was a time before me. Oh how dreadful that there was a time before I was with you on blogger. Fran was there, which made me sad as we miss him so.
ReplyDeleteNow onto Tom on the small screen Woooopeeeee!!!! So that's six episodes which equals six Tom's. Now if only this was to be more than a single series, we'd have more Tom's.
Yes, dear, Fran was the first of the wargamers to connect with me... actually, methinks I was the one who connected the wargamers with the rest of the bloggers :) and also all the writer bloggers with the rest of them too. I fancy me had a kinda of a messianic role amongst them LOL
DeleteI have three books waiting, dear. RED QUEEN, LET IT SNOW and I'm currently working on ALL THE BRIGHT PLACES which is, funny enough, set in Indiana :) and two teens are wandering around the state visiting all the Hoosier miracles :) It is quite possible that at some point of the story they might visit your place or Theresa's below :)
If there are bright places in Indiana, it's a secret. I think the only Hoosier miracle there is, is that these morons can walk and talk at the same time. Still don't know what the hell a Hoosier is.
DeleteHhe he .. dahlink, you won't believe it, but just an hour ago with my publisher I proposed for the book to be translated as TAKE ME TO THE SECRET PLACES :)
DeleteYou know Mariah will be all over Let It Snow. She does love John Green stories!
ReplyDeletedid she read ALL THE BRIGHT PLACES from Jennifer Niven? I'm hundred pages into translating that one and it is set in your Indiana :) Read the comment for Anne above :)
DeleteI just loved that book! It really made me want to look into some of Indiana's hidden gems. The shoe tree sounded pretty neat. I think it was Muncie where they went to the religious place that I thought would be cool to tour as well. They didn't make it here to South Bend, in the book. I think it would have been cool for them to hit up The Grotto at Notre Dame at least.
DeleteMariah hasn't read it yet. She's loaded down this summer with assigned books for her advanced placement English class, so it will be some time before she has time to read on her own for the fun of it.
ah, those sweet summers of school when you could read all you want for two months.... I used to devour Russian classics over summer breaks... the more tomes the better....
DeleteDo you reckon sitting like that is his way of diverting our attention away from his massive ears?
ReplyDeletehe has the cutest ears evah :)
DeleteReally?
Deleteabsolutely! Nibble nibble nibble...
DeleteDamn, Dezzz.
Deletewell you can go and find some titties to nibble on... of you go.....
DeleteThat isn't really my thing, strangely enough.
DeleteI'm shocked, shocked I say! Then go nibble on some sweet bum.... of you go....
DeleteThis way too cute for me - ears or no.
ReplyDeleteyep, he's absolutely adorable!
DeleteWhat, you too?
Deletebig cute ears are in
