'THE BASTARD EXECUTIONER'
CAST PHOTOS RELEASED!
One of the first of the new shows to arrive to the small screens in the new Autumn season is Kurt Sutter's epic series THE BASTARD EXECUTIONER which will swing its sword at FX next Tuesday, September 15th! Today, you can check out cast photos from the series set in the early 14th century, about a knight in King Edward I’s army who is broken by the horrors of war and vows to lay down his weapon. But when violence finds him again, he is forced to pick up the bloodiest sword of all: an executioner's sword. With the cast lead by newcomer Lee Jones, the guest stars will include Matthew Rhys and Ed Sheeran. There were 
rumours last week that FX is looking to buy the bankrupt Wales studio so that the series can continue shooting at the Welsh sets in possible new seasons too.

ReplyDeletefingers crossed, it doesn't disappoint :)
DeleteAnd huge thanks for all the +1's, Fran, you have such a huge following that every time you do that swarms of your fans pop over here for a visit too :)
Swords... I hate swords. Oh hi Dezzy! Hey, Dezz, I was wondering... what happened to Lauren?
ReplyDeleteWho?
DeleteAh.
DeleteOh?
DeleteEh!
Deletemeh?
DeleteI can't wait to see this one, though I am on the fence if Jason will like it. Like Blue, he just doesn't do swords.
ReplyDeleteI will give it a try next week, but if it turns out to be just violence they will lose me quicker than you can say BASTARD!
DeleteIt does seem a lot of these types of shows get off on just violence or sex. I hope it has a meaty story line to keep us engaged!
Deletefingers crossed!
DeleteI hope Kurt Sutter does not disappoint with this series. I loved him as a creative - if brutal - writer/director.
ReplyDeleteOh, noes, he is brutal? There's an off putting word for me
DeleteCould be very, very nice...Could be...
ReplyDeletecould be, could be not :) we shall see next week
DeleteEd Sheeran is getting into acting? Well, the guy has a lot of talent, so he'd probably be good at it.
ReplyDeletetalent? Could not agree with you less :) He is playing a small role here, I wrote about it a month ago
DeleteThis one has me written all over it. I liked that trailer, the background information was great and I like the way it's filmed. Those were bad times to live in and I think in the process of surviving one would have to make difficult moral decisions.
ReplyDeletenot much different from today, only with some different moral choices. But pretty much same amount of evil and corruption and ruthless politicians
