'EMERALD CITY' EPIC SERIES
TARSEM DIRECTS, OLIVER JACKSON COHEN JOINS THE CAST
Well, I really can't give you a more superb news than this: our favourite director, visual genius Tarsem (THE CELL, THE FALL, IMMORTALS, MIRROR MIRROR) will helm all ten episodes of NBC's new fantasy series EMERALD CITY and what's even better our dearest Oliver Jackson Cohen (DRACULA, WORLD WITHOUT END, GREAT FIRE) has just joined Adria Arjona who is playing a 20-year-old Dorothy Gale and her K9 police dog are transported via tornado to another world, one far removed from our own — a mystical land of competing kingdoms, lethal warriors, dark magic and a battle for supremacy.
'THE BEAUTIFUL FANTASTIC'

Here's a wonderfully sounding story and an equally wonderful cast: Jeremy Irvine, Tom Wilkinson, Jessica Brown Findlay and Andrew Scott have all joined Simon Aboud's THE BEAUTIFUL FANTASTIC a contemporary fairy tale revolving around the unlikely friendship between a reclusive young woman with dreams of being a children’s book author and a cantankerous widower, set against the backdrop of a beautiful garden in the heart of London.

'BASTARD EXECUTIONER' SERIES
FIRST EPIC TRAILER IS HERE!
First trailer has been released for FX's upcoming 14th century set historical TV series THE BASTARD EXECUTIONER which arrives to the small screens this Autumn with dashing Lee Jones in the lead role. He plays a warrior knight in King Edward I's charge who is broken by the ravages of war and vows to lay down his sword. But when that violence finds him again he is forced to pick up the bloodiest sword of all. Stephen Moyer and Matthew Rhys also star in Kurt Sutter (SONS OF ANARCHY) series.
Emerald City certainly sounds interesting. It might be too action-y for my tastes, but I love the premise!
ReplyDeletewith Tarsem behind the helm it should be the prettiest series ever seen on the telly! He is visual mastermind
