DRAMA
DRAMA
Here's a lovely lady for you: earlier last year I informed you that Rachel Weisz and Sam Claflin will lead period set drama MY COUSIN RACHEL and now they're joined by latest Lady Chaterley Holliday Grainger! As 'Deadline' reports the film is an adaptation of the classic Daphne Du Maurier novel. The dark romance revolves around Philip, a young orphan, who believes his mysterious, beautiful cousin Rachel may have been responsible for the murder of his beloved guardian Ambrose, also a cousin of theirs. As Philip plots his revenge, he finds his feelings complicated as he falls under Rachel’s beguiling spell.

'FLORENCE FOSTER JENKINS'
TRAILER WITH MERYL STREEP
And an absolutely delightful first trailer has been released for the new comedy movie FLORENCE FOSTER JENKINS based on a true story in which Meryl Streep plays world's worst opera singer
who isn't really aware of her horrid voice. Hugh Grant plays her manager! Rebecca Ferguson also stars!

A mixed bag but we do have Hugh!
ReplyDeleteAnd Meryl as well
DeleteDoes him being in Time after time mean he isn't on Revenge anymore?
ReplyDeleteRevenge still exists?
DeleteEep!! It's off the air? The first season was great but then I got pregnant and couldn't stay up late enough to watch it. Haha
DeleteI've no idea, you know, never watched it, but I do know it had great hunks :)
DeleteOh my gosh, Streep's looks like all sorts of fun and I love DuMaurier.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear the horrid voice :)
DeleteWhew, I would want to rip off that Jack the Ripper's clothes!
ReplyDeleteAnd to only think he was Amy Winehouse's boyfriend years ago!
DeleteI'm betting that Meryl Streep is going to be amazing in Florence Foster Jenkins. Loved the trailer. Thanks Dez!
ReplyDeleteI smell another Oscar!
DeleteThe world's worst opera singer? That has to be pretty bad because I'm pretty sure most of us would be really bad at it!
ReplyDeletebut she is like really really bad :) Like cats in the rain, like metal screetching, don't you remember that I posted the video of Florence singing an aria two years ago when I announced the project? :) It was hilarious
DeleteTime After Time looks like it's a remake of the movie. I have mixed feelings about that.
ReplyDeletenot a remake, it continues where the movie story finishes :)
DeleteWho knew Jack the Ripper was so damn sexy?
ReplyDeleteall that chasing and running gave him muscles, I guess
DeleteAmazing Rachel Weisz on the first picture, so elegant! And, of course, a fantastic look for Meryl Streep...promising!
ReplyDeletethat ain't Rachel, Philie, but Holli Grainger :)
DeleteOMG Meryl Streep reminded me of hubby's stepmom. That is exactly the way she would have said that. I am very excited to see this movie! Have a great weekend Dez!
ReplyDeleteshe has a nasty singing voice too? :)
DeleteI am super excited about Florence. From the second I heard of it I knew I had to see it. Plus with Meryl being in it? Can't miss. My Cousin Rachel has me intrigued.
ReplyDeleteI don't think Meryl ever had an unwatchable movie!
DeleteRACHEL should be a real nice Victorian gem!
My Cousin Rachel does sound dark and also intriguing!
ReplyDeletethey will look sooo good in costumes!
