JOSEPH FIENNES TO LEAD
'THE LAST RACE' CHARIOTS OF FIRE FOLLOW UP MOVIE
As 'Deadline' reports Joseph Fiennes will lead the cast in CHARIOTS OF FIRE follow up movie THE LAST RACE which will follow Scottish runner Eric Liddell after his win at the 1924 Paris Olympics, looking at his life in China, where he worked as a missionary and died in 1945 in a Japanese internment camp.
He was originally born in China in 1902 to Christian missionaries.
His faith was of profound importance to him. He won gold in the 400m
race in the 1924 Olympics but refused to take part in the 100m as it
took place on the Sabbath. After returning to China, he was eventually
sent to a Japanese internment camp in 1943 following Japan’s invasion of
China six years earlier. He would die there of a brain tumour.
SEE DOUBLE TOM HARDY
IN 'LEGEND' ACTION PACKED TRAILER WITH EMILY BROWNING
The only trailer I have for you today is for Tom Hardy's and Emily Browning's new movie LEGEND! From Oscar winner Brian Helgeland (L.A. Confidential, Mystic River) comes the true story of the 
rise and fall of London’s most notorious gangsters, Reggie and Ron Kray, both portrayed by Tom Hardy in a double performance. It's a classic crime thriller taking us into the secret history of the 1960s and the extraordinary events that secured the infamy of the Kray twins.

oh wow, Joseph Fiennes still looks as hot as he did in Shakespeare. :) Can't wait to see the follow up film to Chariots of Fire.
ReplyDeletenot sure it's a fresh photo :)
DeleteI think the only movie I've seen with him in it was The Dark Knight Rises
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't watch that one even if my life depended on it... it supports mindless violence and evil and inspires murderers and maniacs.
DeleteI much preferred Hardy before he was popular, back when he was starring in British dramas... now he just does aggressive and violent roles.... scares me a bit...
Legend sounds like something Jason will insist on seeing. He loves those old gangster type films.
ReplyDeletewe shall go to the cinema and watch something light while he is dealing with the gangsters :)
DeleteYes, we shall. Though, I don't think there is much playing right now that catches my attention. Cinderella is now at our $1 theater, but sadly that one didn't live up to my expectations.
DeleteI haven't seen it yet.... I haven't god much time for movies catching up on my weekly series, especially now that my sf summer shows have started and during weekdays I'm sweating with POLDARK reaping wheat shirtless in his field :)
DeleteI first learned of the Kray twins via Monty Python's sketch on "Doug and Dinsdale Piranha." The movie looks good!
ReplyDeletesounds like a nasty piranha!
DeleteSome nice-looking men here.
ReplyDeleteYou've put Legend on my radar. I would love to see it.
we did have a hunky Friday :)
DeleteMen in tights... Well, at least he isn't wearing skinny jeans.
ReplyDeleteNibble, nibble, nibble :)
DeleteHere we go again....
DeleteI never stop.... nibble nibble nibble.....
DeleteSay it ain't so.
Deleteit ain't so... but it is....
