FINN JONES TO LEAD
'IRON FIST' MARVEL TV SERIES
Probably the main television news of the day is that young star Finn Jones, whom you mostly remember by that delight- fully gay role of his in GAME OF THRONES as Ser Loras the Knight of Flowers, will take the lead role in Netflix series adaptation of Marvel's IRON FIST! The expert of ancient martial arts, who, as 'EW' reports, at age of 9 travels with his family from New York to a lost mystical city called K’un-L’un. After some tragic twists of fate, he is adopted by the city’s ruler and taught advanced martial arts and the mystical power of the Iron Fist that gives him enhanced healing, telepathy, along with super strength and reflexes. As an adult, Rand returns to his native New York and begins a career as a superhero. DEXTER's Scott Buck will be the show runner. After Daredevil, Jessica Jones and Luke Cage, it will be fourth Marvel series at Netflix.

ReplyDeleteshould be a very inspiring one! We despise British oppression of India
DeleteThe Man Who Knew Infinity looks fabulous. It reminds me a bit of how Tesla was treated in America. This is one I'll have to see.
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm offline for a while dahlink. I shall have my hands in the dirt for a few days and begin feeling like a human being again.
Yes, our poor Tesla was so much bigger than his times and ours too.
DeleteHave fun with the garden!
Is The Man Who Knew Infinity based on a true story?
ReplyDeleteindeed it is
Delete"The Man Who Knew Infinity" looks terrific! Dev Patel is such a talented young actor. And of course, I adore Jeremy Irons (no matter what you think of him, Dezzy! I know you're not a fan.)
ReplyDeleteI don't hate him :) I just did not like his performance in BORGIAS. I think I find his son much more off putting :) That little talentless brat gets roles just because of daddy
DeleteI hadn't heard of The Man Who Knew Infinity- but it looks fantastic. Thanks for sharing. :)

DeleteI'm curious what will happen to his character on GOT. He's in jail after a former lover confessed after a bunch of religious nuts took over the capital city with King Tommen too afraid (weak) to stop them.
ReplyDeletepoor Sir Loras, we still remember his nekid bum scenes fondly
DeleteGreat post, this is public service Dez! :D Cheers!
ReplyDeleteWish I was paid as a public servant too :)
DeleteGreat trailer! I haven't heard of it either, but I am most intrigued now!
ReplyDeleteI mentioned it once years ago and then I also forgot about it :)
