In today's TV news (beside the info that Bryan Fuller will be the showrunner for CBS's new STAR TREK series set for next January) TNT has just added Colm Meaney and Mattias
Inwood to Shekhar Kapur's WILL epic series about young William Shakespeare’s (Laurie Davidson) arrival onto the punk rock theatre scene that was 16th century London – the seductive, violent world where his raw talent faced rioting audiences, religious fanatics and raucous side-shows. It’s described as the hot, contemporary, dangerous version of Shakespeare’s life, played to a modern soundtrack, exposing all his recklessness, lustful temptations and brilliance. Meaney will play the carpenter who built the first theatre in London after Roman Times. Dashing Mattias Inwood (whom you are watching in SHANNARA CHRONICLES) will play his son who together with WILL forms the greatest actor-writer partnership the world has ever seen.

Will certainly sounds interesting. Who knew Shakespeare was reckless and lustful?
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see it, I adore everything Shekhar does, and the show was written by MOULIN ROUGE scribe!
DeleteMy eyes!!!
ReplyDeletehave been blessed by today's sights, right?
DeleteThe horror!
DeleteI'd be voluntarily scared by it 24\7
DeleteOoooo, "High Rise" looks SO good, can hardly wait. And "happy Tom's birthday suit" to you, Dezzy, you wag!
ReplyDeletethanks, we're celebrating like there's no tomorrow!
DeleteIsn't Tom a handsome boy!
ReplyDeletehe is devilishly flawless
DeleteOh, okay. Thanks for the heads up.
ReplyDeletebe welcome
DeleteThere's that sweaty butt chair again lol. Dumb Prince might be funny. Will will definitely be getting a spot on the Tivo!
ReplyDeleteWILL should be a really huge hit, with all them stunning youngsters and music and that production team! And that Mattias hunk is so lovely, he retweeted us last night. Darling boy he is.
Deletetoo many naked men in this group for me.
ReplyDeleteone is too many? :)
DeleteNot enough for me ;)
Deleteindeed
DeleteMy eyes!
Deleteare blue?
DeleteWell...I like Amy Poehler, but that comedy sounds a little convoluted! They always say if you can't describe the plot in one sentence, it's probably not a winner.
ReplyDeleteI kinda liked the slightly crazy description they gave us, I just don't know if it is a sitcom or an hour long comedy.
DeleteNow if Tom would only drop that towel...that's one high rise I'd really like to see :)
ReplyDeleteThe young Shakespeare should be good. It's interesting how now the plays are only seen by the rich when he wrote for the rowdy masses.
Dahlink, he is impossibly gorgeous. It just ain't right the burden he puts on us!
DeleteThat lucky little towel!!!! Hahaha
ReplyDeletelucky bastard indeed
DeleteI have no need to see hip Shakespeare, pass. Dumb prince sounds....yeah. Hi Tom!
ReplyDeleteI think you'll regret it since it will be amahzing like Moulin Rouge was
