JAMES NORTON TO LEAD
'MCMAFIA' NEW BBC DRAMA
Well, I certainly wanted him in a new historical series, but I guess we should be lucky to see him in anything new as long as he is on our
small screens on a weekly basis: British thespian James Norton will play a Russian man again after War and Peace, this time in new BBC series MCMAFIA.

The story delves into how, with the rise of globalization, the
corporate has become criminal and the criminal corporate and how, driven
by the global demand for cheap products, everyone is complicit in some
way.
Norton will play Alex Godman, the English raised son of Russian exiles
with a mafia past. Godman has spent his life trying to escape that
shadow, building his own legitimate business and forging a life with his
girlfriend. But when his family’s past murderously returns to threaten
them, Alex is drawn into the criminal world and forced to confront his
values to protect those he loves. He soon finds himself embroiled in an
underworld that stretches from London to Moscow, Dubai to Mumbai and
Africa to the Americas!
'FINDING ALTAMIRA' TRAILER
WITH ANTONIO BANDERAS
Sometime ago I've shown you the international one, but now you can check out the first, rather gorgeous, English trailer for Antonio 
Banderas movie FINDING ALTAMIRA! Also starring Rupert Everett it tells the true story of a little girl and her father Marcelino Sautuola who discovered the now famous pre-historic cave paintings at ALTAMIRA.
However, the find brought disgrace on the family and the wrath of the
Catholic church, who thought that the claim of ten thousand year-old art
was an attack on the ‘truth’ of the Bible. Looking for the truth, Sautuola spent the rest of his life fighting to prove that those paintings were real, trying to restore his innocence from the accusations of falsehood launched against him.

FINDING ALTAMIRA looks fascinating.

ReplyDeleteunlike his ex Melanie
DeleteOMG! You are telling me. She used to be so cute, but time has NOT been good to her!
Deletenot time, but botox.... You can age gracefully or you can botox yourself up into a melanie monster
DeleteAntonio never ages indeed. I'm a Christian but I never thought, hey a new theory has come so let's socially stone people for their discoveries and beliefs. Just seems a bit against the moral fiber of the Christian faith. But hey, what do I know.
ReplyDeleteSister, you do know that in the past Christians were as extreme and radical as some Muslims are today. Spain was always known as the country of religious prosecution and violence, and not just from its Muslim past but mostly from Spanish Christian church, remember how many millions of people were burnt, often massively and in groups, by the Catholic church and their fanatic groups throughout the centuries, in Spain, France, England...And remember all the big scientists and inventors from Galileo to Da Vinci and others... they were all condemned and tortured by Church
Delete"Finding Altamira" looks super! And lots of lessons in there for today's world too and those who use religion to stand against progress and understanding.
