LEADS 'SAINT MAZIE'
Speaking of Helena Bonham Carter she will star in SAINT MAZIE mini series based on Jami Attenberg novel about Mazie Gordon Phillips who spent her days selling tickets at a cinema which she eventually inherited, and in her spare time she walked the streets of New York, giving the homeless soap and sips of liquor from her flask. Far from the normal picture of a saint she was foul-mouthed, free-spirited and drank her way through Prohibition. But in her own very quiet way she became a local hero.

'13 REASONS WHY' SERIES
FINDS ITS MAIN CAST
Meanwhile, all you teens will be happy to hear that Netflix has started casting for their TV series adaptation of Jay Asher's bestseller 13 REASONS WHY! To be produced by Selena Gomez it will star Kate Walsh opposite Dylan Minnette, Derek Luke and Katherine Langford! The 13 episode series follows a boy named Clay (Dylan Minnette) through an emotional night when he receives a shoe box of cassette tapes from his late classmate and crush Hannah (Katherine Langford), after she recently committed suicide. On the tapes, which are mailed with instructions to pass along from one student to another, Hannah explains to 12 peers how they each played a role in her death, by giving 13 reasons explaining why she took her life. Walsh will be Hannah’s mom with Luke as Hannah’s guidance counsellor.
"13 Reasons Why" sounds like it could be a powerful mini-series about bullying, aimed at teens where hopefully it could do some good.
ReplyDeleteI also heard it is very dark, hope it has depth
DeleteI like the sound of the female Oceans 11.
ReplyDeleteyes, unlike female Ghostbusters, James Bond and whatnot
DeleteFemale James Bond is sacrilege.
DeleteThat godawful Gillian Anderson, who was so disgustingly bad in WAR AND PEACE wants to be the female OO7, the horror. What a ghastly idea it is, pish and tosh.
DeleteNow, see, that's the difference been being bored by a female Ghostbusters and excited about a female Oceans Eleven - the cast really does make the movie.
ReplyDeleteabsolutely! Hope they don't ruin the rest of the cast by casting some lady idiots
DeleteSaint Mazie sounds interesting. So does 13 Reasons Why (I have been curious about the book- but haven't had a chance to read it yet). Thanks for sharing. :)
ReplyDelete~Jess
yes, you like teen books, so I think you might like 13 REASONS!
DeleteThe new Oceans 11 may have potential. I love heist movies and if they have a great cast and do it well, I think it could work.
ReplyDeleteI is back again dahlink. The bloke who owns the local nursery has been giving me free rose bushes and I had to get them in the ground. Three climbers and a bush that is half yellow and half pink. So now I am building a new rose garden with them.
How is Summer going for you?
Methinks I will get the morbs, dahlink, if they cast Julia in it or some other undeserving wench....
DeleteHalf yellow and half pink as in one single rose? We have a very strange one which is white in the bud but beige peach when it blooms, and a climbing one which is pinkish when in bud and white when it opens, how very strange. We have a near black lily too, it is positively frightening, I must say, like some warlock bloom from a Midsummer's Night Dream or whatnot.... I've never heard of such a thing before I saw it with my own eyes in our garden... Lilies give me terrible allergies, dear, and mumsie keeps bringing them in... she's plotting to kill me, I swear.... she's just acting naive and sheepish
Helena Bonham Carter looks ravishing in that photo! Woow..female Ocean Eleven..can't wait to see all those great names!
ReplyDeleteit is probably the only photoshoot in which she looks... how can we say.... normal?
DeleteLooking forward to those 11 females! ;-)
ReplyDeleteGreetings
Peter
that is a lot of casting choices to be made :)
DeleteAll 3 sound so good! Jason and I absolutely loved Ocean's 11. I am thrilled that there will be a female team to watch now!
ReplyDeleteHelena looks very nice when she gets all scrubbed clean. I think Sait Maize will be an interesting watch.
Even though I despise Gomez, I do think I'll catch 13 Reasons Why. It could be one that my girls will like also.
there was one of our friends who adored 13 REASONS and I can't remember who, and they didn't appear to read the story :)
DeleteHow can you love something you know nothing about? I haven't read the story either, but I am intrigued how it is all going to play out.
Deleteno this story, the post :) I think it is Debs maybe, or Jax, can't remember
