GERARD BUTLER
TO TURN 'A DARKER SHADE OF MAGIC' INTO MINI SERIES
It's kinda of a Gerard Butler day today here at HOLLYWOOD SPY, not that you will mind, right? His production house has just acquired rights on V. E. Schwab's fantasy novel A DARKER SHADE OF MAGIC which they are looking to develop into mini TV series. As 'Deadline' writes, The book is set in four parallel worlds, with four parallel Londons ruled by different magical powers and monarchies. Grey London, where the people have been told that magic is a myth; Red London, where magic is embraced and thrives; White London, where magic is used by the rulers against it’s people; and Black London, where magic has overpowered the people and corrupted the world beyond repair.

With the survival of mankind hanging in the balance, an unexpected
hero takes a thrilling journey to save the world and rescue his true
love. Set (Gerard Butler), the merciless god of darkness, has
usurped Egypt’s throne, plunging the once peaceful and prosperous empire
into chaos and conflict. With only a handful of heroic rebels opposing
Set’s savage rule, Bek (Brenton Thwaites), a bold and defiant mortal, enlists the aid of powerful god Horus (Nikolaj Coster Waldau)
in an unlikely alliance against the evil overlord. As their
breathtaking battle against Set and his henchmen take them into
the
afterlife and across the heavens, both god and mortal must pass tests of
courage and sacrifice if they hope to prevail in the spectacular final
confrontation. Geoffrey Rush also stars as Ra, while Elodie Yung is Hathor, Goddess of Love!

'ME BEFORE YOU' TRAILER
SAM CLAFLIN & EMILIA CLARKE
because of Traynor's anger and despondence, but Louisa's effervescence eventually breaks through and romance blossoms.
"A Darker Shade of Magic" has an interesting narrative premise. I might put the book on my "to read" list.
ReplyDeletecould be really interesting, although it takes a few readings to get that plot :)
DeleteGods of Egypt looks really interesting - lots of technology. You before Me breaks my heart, already, but I'd loved to see it.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dezz!
two movies from the list of my most anticipated ones this year!
DeleteA DARKER SHADE OF MAGIC looks like it has potential. I'm not sure about GoE. It looks like it might be more about the special effects than about the story or characters. I could be wrong. Hope I am.
ReplyDeleteI think the point of a movie such as GODS OF EGYPT is about special effects and visual splendour :)
DeleteOMGosh Me Before You looks wonderful.
ReplyDeletetotally, I like the visual aspect of it too, it looks very old school, clean and simple
DeleteI'm sorry, but I don't have a good feeling about Gods of Egypt. I could be wrong, though.
ReplyDeletebut you could go for ME BEFORE YOU, right?
DeleteWoohoo! Yo made me so happy today. I read the book, Me Before You and loved it so much. I have been waiting for the trailer for a long time and this is such a wonderful surprise.
ReplyDeleteI always waited anxiously for the trailer, glad it is so lovely!
DeleteGods of Egypt looks so good. Now we can only hope it's more successful than some of the more recent tales like it.
ReplyDeleteit will most probably flop, but will do good at the DVD market later on as always!
DeleteSmall town girl, please she's Daenerys Stormborn of the House Targaryen, the First of Her Name, the Unburnt, Queen of Meereen, Queen of the Andals and the Rhoynar and the First Men, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, Breaker of Chains, and Mother of Dragons.
ReplyDelete;)
I have a strange feeling you watch GOT, Adam
DeleteMe Before You *sigh* I love it already and know that I'll need to keep the tissues handy. I normally like books much better than the movies, but I think this is one I will like equally.
ReplyDeleteit will be our AGE OF ADALINE of 2016 :) I love me Claflin so much! Glad that he and wify Laura Haddock got a baby daughter a few weeks ago!
DeleteSaw the Me before You trailer on Youtube and it was very touching. Butler day indeed.
ReplyDeleteindeed
DeleteGods of Egypt looks interesting!
ReplyDeletemega fun, Ray
DeleteThe Darker side of magic has the potential to be very cool!
ReplyDeleteI wonder which of those Londons would Queen Lizzie prefer?
DeleteI'm so looking forward to Me Before You. That will be a great chick flick.
ReplyDeleteabsolutely, Debs
DeleteGerard looks so yummy in Gods of Egypt. Very much like in 300, the greatest movie in history. He's got that deep, gravelly voice thing going as well.
ReplyDeleteOooh I'm watching The Last Kingdom and it's fabulous. Poor Uhtred just can't get a break. That Alfred keeps breaking his promises and leaving Uhtred having to overcome yet something else. I absolutely hat that dreadful Aelswith and I hope Odda the Younger gets his comeuppance.
Gerard was born as a god, this way or another :) I don't know if there is an actor who played kings and rulers more than him from Athila, to Set to king of Spartans....
DeleteDahlink, I hate to break it to you but Arseling will never catch a break :) Alfred will remain like that because of that fat bitch of his wife :) And Odda will die a very fun death :) I think Aelswith will be Uhtred's sidekick in the second season.
I kind of figured that Alfred would never be good to him. But what can one expect from a piece of shite Royal?
ReplyDeleteI shall watch Lady Chatterley's Lover next.
But I do adore David Dawson who plays Alfred, we watched him in BANISHED too, remember? He was the officer in charge of the registry.
DeleteI didn't like CHATTERLEY much, it was kinda to quick, but it is worth watching for two of my dearest boys ever Richard Madden and James Norton!
Okay- Me Before You made me teary just watching the trailer, so I know I will need to see it. Apparently I will need to bring a large quantity of tissues too.
ReplyDelete~Jess
it will be a movie to own on a DVD too!
DeleteI look forward to Me Before You. It had better be good. Yes, I know You've Got Mail by heart, as well as Love Actually and Serendipity. What's your point?
ReplyDeleteI prefer NO RESERVATIONS with Zeta Jones.
DeleteNot bad. I didn't like the guy. I lovvvve her.
DeleteAaron really isn't a romcom type of actor, but betta him than Douglas
