DAISY RIDLEY TO LEAD
'CHAOS WALKING' ADAPTATION
Star Wars star Daisy Ridley has another new science fiction role in her sleeve: according to latest news coming from 'Variety' she will take the lead role in Doug Liman directed big screen adaptation of Patrick Ness' dystopian trilogy CHAOS WALKING
Set in a world where there are no women and where all living
creatures can hear each other’s thoughts the story is centred on the
only boy in a town of men, who makes a startling discovery that forces
him to flee with only his dog in hand. With the townspeople in pursuit,
the duo stumbles upon a strange and silent girl Viola who is the only
other person beside him whose thoughts cannot be read. They set off on a
white knuckle journey in which the boy must unlearn everything he knows
in order to figure out who he truly is.
'DISJOINTED' SITCOM
TONE BELL JOINS KATHY BATES
And here's a fun duo: Tone Bell, whom ever so loved in Truth Be Told, is returning to multi camera sitcoms in Netflix and Chuck Lorre's DISJOINTED in which Kathy Bates stars as Ruth, a lifelong advocate for legalization of pot who’s finally living her dream as the owner of an L.A.-area cannabis dispensary. Joining her are three budtenders, her twenty something son and a deeply troubled security guard. All of them are more or less constantly high. In the 20, already ordered, episodes, Tone Bell will be one of her security guards!

'EMILY & TIM' TRAILER
A MARRIAGE IN SIX ACTS
And here's an interesting movie in which 12 different actors play a married couple EMILY & TIM following their marriage from the first kiss to the last breath with the story covering almost half a century. Alexis Bledel and Olympia Dukakis, alongside Phylicia Rashad are just some of the names in the ensemble cast.
Chaos Walking sounds like a little cracker of a story!
ReplyDeleteas weird as it gets
DeleteI adore Kathy Bates and I adore Olympia Dukakis, so two more great performances to look forward to!
ReplyDeleteshould be two interesting projects!
DeleteI liked her in the new star wars, I hope she does good things in future works
ReplyDeletefingers crossed, although I think she's lacking sadly in charisma
DeleteOh, Emily and Tim sounds marvellous!
ReplyDelete-Kati
It is such a unique concept!
DeleteBest of luck to Daisy in her new endeavor. Emily and Tim is definitely different. Just the kind of film making that needs viewer support. I'll make note so as not to forget about it among the louder fare.
ReplyDeleteit does have a very lovely and original idea, one of them films that make you feel good or at least profound
DeleteEmily and Tim sounds really lovely! And I am excited to see Kathy Bates on the small screen!
ReplyDeletehope she doesn't over do it with swearing, though :)
DeleteIf it's on Netflix, probably so, though I hope if they do give her profanity, it's not too much and fits with the flow of the scene.
Deleteand hope she doesn't go nude in it... one time was too much already
DeleteHere, Here!
DeleteDaisy Ridley somehow reminds me of Keira Knightley..
ReplyDeletesadly, yes
Deleteum...
ReplyDeletenot in my class, missy
