'THE HALCYON' HOTEL
WW2 SET DRAMA AT ITV
Do you wonder how will ITV replace DOWNTON ABBEY which ends this Christmas? They plan to open the doors of THE HALCYON Hotel, an eight part series which will reveal London life against the backdrop of 
WW2 and the impact it has on families, politics, relationships and work across every social strata. The story will unspool through the eyes of journalist Joe O’Hara visiting the bustling and glamorous five-star hotel!

I like Aaron Johnson, smiles ~ It would be interesting to see who they decide in the end ~

I bet it won't be any of these, but someone else.... although I could totally see Joshua Sasse as Han. he has that spirit in him
DeleteHalcyon Hotel might have some potential. Never watched Downton Abbey because my sister said it was nowhere near as good as Upstairs, Downstairs from the old days.
ReplyDeletenot just from the old UPSTAIRS, DOWNSTAIRS, but not from the newer version either, which I liked. I watched the first ABBEY season and thought it was monotonous and uninspired like most of Julian's works
Delete2,500!!!!! That's a bit excessive isn't it?
ReplyDeleteyou mean you haven't auditioned, Fran? :)
DeleteWhy won't they learn? Nobody wanted a young Darth Vader, and look how that turned out. Harrison Ford is Han Solo. Period. He makes the role. Nobody wants him recast, and nobody wants to see his younger years.
ReplyDeleteI personally don't wanna see his older years either, but ain't nobody asking me :)
DeleteWow, only 2,500 actors auditioned so far... I would've expected more ;)
ReplyDeleteI remember it was tens of thousands around the world when the first of the new STAR WARS was being prepared last decade.
DeleteI'd love to see Chandler Riggs get the role as young Han.
ReplyDeletenya, he's too young, Donnzie, only 16.
DeleteHarrison Ford IS Han Solo. I pity the poor actor who tries to take on that younger role.
ReplyDeleteI think some of them could wear his shoes... Chris Pratt for example
DeleteMy God, I would hate to have to sit through that many auditions! I bet the one who gets picked will feel like he won the lottery!
ReplyDeletehate? What's to hate with all them young hunks? I'd pay them to let me be the fly on that wall
DeleteCan you imagine hearing the same lines over and over 2500 times? I don't care how hot they are, that would be so annoying!
Deletewhat hearing? I'd be staring deaf into all them hunkilicious hunks... and slightly drooling....
DeleteThat's a lovely collection of some delicious men! :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely
DeleteThank you Spielberg for giving Ageism a good kick in the teeth. Harrison Ford is perfectly fine for the next IJ movie. Of course there is a spin off with younger...I don't care. Well at least they started with a mini series. No one wants to be the grand series accused of replacing Downtown Abbey. From what i have picked up fans are quite unhappy (pissed) that it has ended.
ReplyDeleteit already lasted too long if you ask me :) ITV has a lot of good shows ready to air next year, won't be too hard to replace it.
DeleteThey asked me but I declined the offer. I refuse to be ungrammatical. Blue Yoda... The nerve!
ReplyDeletehow much did they offer?
