FALK HENTSCHEL IS
DC'S TELEVISION 'HAWKMAN'
In TV news, DC has found their actor for the character of Hawkman who will first appear in CW's shows THE FLASH and ARROW before becoming a regular superhero in their new series LEGENDS OF TOMORROW in the winter midseason. Gorgeous Falk Hentschel (who starred in STREET DANCE, AGENTS OF SHIELD and worked as Mariah Carey's dancer) will play the winged hero, a reincarnation of an Egyptian emperor, who has lived on for centuries alongside his ladylove Kendra Saunders (Ciara Renée). Hawkman is capable of sprouting wings by tapping into the power of the ancient hawk god Horus. As I reported before LEGENDS OF TOMORROW will unite a number of superheroes from the other two shows and some new ones who will together battle common enemies. Wentworth Miller, Brandon Routh and Dominic Purcel also star.
'DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS'
RETURNING TO THE BIG SCREENS
After WARCRAFT, which is arriving into theatres next summer, it seems another hugely popular fantasy world game will be turned into a movie. Hasbro and Warner Bros. will turn DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS into a huge epic movie. With the script already written by RED RIDING HOOD and WRATH OF THE TITANS' David Leslie Johnson (can't believe he is still working after those two writing atrocities), the movie is slated for 2019 release! Some fifteen years ago New Line made an unsuccessful movie out of it which spawned tons of DVD sequels. That one was set in the empire of Izmer populated by mages, magic users, empresses, dragons, dwarves and elves.

NEW 'DRESSMAKER' TRAILER
WITH KATE WINSLET, LIAM HEMSWORTH, HUGO WEAVING
Second, delightful international trailer has been released for lovely Australian movie THE DRESSMAKER with Kate Winslet, Judi Davis, Liam Hemsworth and Hugo Weaving. Based on Rosalie Ham bestselling novel of the same name, the movie will see Kate Winslet playing the 1950s Australian fashion designer Tilly Dunnage who goes back to her rural hometown to care for her sick mother, but rumours of her involvement in the death of a young boy threaten to ruin her return. With her sewing machine and haute couture style, she transforms the women and exacts sweet revenge on those who did her wrong. The movie is first out in Australian cinemas this October!
Will The Dressmaker be coming to the good ol' USA? It looks great!
ReplyDeleteProbably will, I reckon somewhere in the awards season.
DeleteI would kill for a decent Dungeons & Dragons movie, but so far all we've been offered is crap written by people who clearly have no love for the world. There's so much potential there . . .
ReplyDeleteThey could turn both that and WARCRAFT into new LORD OF THE RINGS saga
DeleteD&D is notable for being one of the earliest known "nerdy" things to do. I see that made 3 movies already with the first being the most notable and being a flop.
ReplyDeleteyep, it's officially older than you and me as well :)
DeleteWinslet and Hemsworth....wow.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tweet, Dez.
every tailor needs a customer that hunky :)
DeleteHopefully this dungeons and dragons will be a whole lot better than the original movie.
ReplyDeleteI think I liked the first one too, I mean not taking it too seriously, except that I hated the choice of Tora Birch as Empress... I mean she is the total opposite of an empress.....
DeleteFabulous trailer! We love love seeing Hemsworth shirtless as often as possible around here ;)
ReplyDeletetwas a shirtless day today, it seems, that German hunk is hot as hell too :)
DeleteThe Dressmaker is one I'd love to see. Looks like it's going to be quite interesting.
ReplyDeleteno one makes such films with big heart better than Australians!
DeleteDungeons & Dragons was popular when *I* was a kid! I knew a lot of kids who were into it. Hollywood knows gamers and comic book fans are HUGE moviegoers...they finally found a way to capitalize on that, looks like. (Besides having bonehead actors star in movies called Demolition Man and Terminator!)
ReplyDeletethese days it seems Hollywood caters only for comicbook fans and teens....
DeleteWell, HELLO, Hawkman lol. Where's the sexy pic of my Liam???? Lol
ReplyDeleteHe can falk us anytime he wants :) Liam is there naked under the video, duh..... :)
DeleteMan... boobs.
ReplyDeleteand those above would be a specially tasty specimen... nibble nibble nibble
