MEDICI MASTERS OF FLORENCE
BILLY CAMPBELL JOINS RICHARD MADDEN & DUSTIN HOFFMAN
TV news for you today, starting with the latest addition to the cast of new historical series MEDICI: MASTERS OF FLORENCE! Billy Campbell has
joined Richard Madden and Dustin Hoffman in the 8 part series on the rise of the Medici family and the Italian Renaissance, following the family’s ascent from simple merchants to power brokers who sparked an economic and cultural revolution, in the process creating a long list of powerful enemies. Campbell will play Bernardo Guadagni, Gonfaloniere of the Signoria – the ‘speaker of the house’. He is a loyal supporter of the Medici and friend to Cosimo. He understands the vision the Medici has for the future of Florence, and although committed to their cause, has to navigate his way carefully through the other members of the house and those who oppose the Medici.

CHRIS EVANS' 'SNOWPIERCER'
TO BECOME TV SERIES
Now, I don't know if you remember, but your spy was one of the first ones to love and write
about Chris Evans' sf movie SNOWPIERCER which
also starred Tilda Swinton, Jamie Bell, Octavia Spencer, John Hurt and
Edd Harris. Now 'The Hollywood Reporter' reveals that it will be turned
into a TV series by the studio known for Tim Allen's LAST MAN STANDING,
with AVATAR 2's Josh Friedman penning the script. The story is set years
after a global Ice Age decimated the planet, with the survivors living
in a constantly moving train known as Snowpiercer which has its wagons
divided into social classes. Some privileged, some sorely unprivileged.

As surprised as I am by the adaptation, Snowpiercer could have definite potential as a series.
ReplyDeletesure could if they don't ruin it with the bad casting
DeleteI enjoyed the movie (Snowpiercer), it should make a good series!
ReplyDeleteshould be uber fun! They could develop all kinds of twists but they ain't gonna be better than the movie
DeleteChung and Greenberg are married in real life, apparently on Halloween of this year
ReplyDeleteReally? I didn't know! Now, there's a cute couple!
DeleteAwe, they do make a pretty on-screen and off-screen couple!
Deleteimagine their kids... I do love me such combos.. like Goselaar and Vanessa Lachey IN TRUTH BE TOLD... the sitcom ain't overly good, but, boy, the two of them make such a stunning couple and they have an Asian kid in the comedy too! Adorable
DeleteI used to have a girlfriend whose father was Chinese. She was a double fox. Nom nom. Of course, she broke my heart, pissed on it and set it on fire.
DeleteI know..
so you enjoyed some water sports?
DeleteAs if I had a choice...
Deletebut Angelina did cure it....
DeleteNope, she didn't.
Deletedamn, she needs to try harder
DeleteI always liked Greenberg in October Road. I am sure I will like Already Tomorrow in Hong Kong.
ReplyDeleteI've always lurved him too... wish I had a tomorrow with him in Hong Kong :)
DeleteHaven't watched these two yet!
ReplyDelete-Kati
they're not out yet :)
DeleteBilly Campbell? That's a name I didn't think we'd be hearing again...except maybe as a guest star on CSI. I'm sure he's still been working all along. I always look up people like that and find they've done ten roles a year...just not in anything I've ever heard of.
ReplyDeleteyes, kinda like Stephen Moyer, who is currently starring in BASTARD EXECUTIONER... they're becoming useful, both those early middle aged ones and the senior actors, since the younglings have no talent whatsoevah ... he did lead HELIX series last two years
DeleteWho?
DeleteStephanie... now, that's a name I do know.
Who badaboo?
DeleteWhat? Are you okay?
Deleteonly when I'm not awake
DeleteNo kidding. That can't be right.
Deletethough it could be left.... and occasionally zigzag
DeleteEveryone has a beard. People are sheep... ha!
ReplyDeleteyou never had one? Mine is semi/blond semi/ dark so I'm afraid to grow it :)
DeleteNever!
Deletemaybe you should try it for a day
DeleteNever!
Deleteit is tiresome sometimes to shave... especially when you have to shave your head too... and who knows what else too....
DeleteI know what!
DeleteI meant nose and ears :)
DeleteSure you did.
Deletetruly I did
