'GENIUS' TV SERIES
GEOFFREY RUSH IS EINSTEIN!
Just two pieces of TV news for you today, starting with the one coming from National Geographic Channel which has just hired Geoffrey Rush to lead the cast of their GENIUS anthology series playing Einstein! Johnny Flynn has been also cast to play Einstein in the years before he rose to international attention and acclaim.
RON HOWARD HELMS
Oscar winner Ron Howard is set to helm the first episode of the GENIUS series whose first season will follow famous physicist Albert Einstein! Ten episodes of the series will describe how an imaginative, rebellious patent clerk, who couldn’t get a teaching job or a doctorate, unlocked the mysteries of the atom and the universe. Each episode will explore Einstein’s extraordinary scientific achievements, along with his volatile, passionate and complex personal relationships.

Finishing the day in sf style, check out the first teaser for SyFy's new series AFTERMATH starting September 27th!

Julia Sarah Stone,
Taylor Hickson and
Levi Meaden play the kids.
Aftermath could be interesting. Looking forward to seeing Geoffrey Rush in something new.
ReplyDeleteI just hope Aftermath won't be trashy, we need a longer trailer to see!
DeleteGeoffrey Rush will be positively PERFECT playing Einstein! Another Aussie boy done good :)
ReplyDeleteyes, I can imagine him being charmingly crazy in the role
DeleteHello Wendy.
DeleteHello Blue/Randy :)

DeleteThese look interesting. I have my eye more on Einstein. I'm a bit tired of apocalyptic tales.
ReplyDeletebut one needs to prepare for the upcoming apocalypse :)
DeleteAftermath looks a little frightening. I may like it though;)
ReplyDeleteyou reckon you and Jason would find your way out of an apocalypse? :)
DeleteProbably not. I'm too much of a diva I can't even go camping. He'd leave my ass on the side of the road and wish me luck so he wouldn't have to deal with my complaining ;)
Deletebut it would be fun, though, to wield a fireblazer or a pickaxe or something when the zombies come-a-knocking :) hopefully in the shape of our nasty neighbours
DeleteOh, it would definitely be fun to weild a fireblazer. I do have a few neighbors I'd like to torch ;)
DeleteI had a fireblazer before :) granpa used it when they would butcher a pig at our farm to burn down the hairs :) but we didn't bring it with us when we moved and now I'm doomed in case of apocalypse. I wanted to stand on a barrel at my gates and blaze the zombies away if the poop hits the fan...
DeleteLooks like you'll have to find me on the side of the road where Jason leaves me so we can be royally screwed together then lol
DeleteIt's almost like these apoctolypic series are trying to prepare us for something!
ReplyDeleteyou really must learn and prepare while you still can
DeleteRon Howard is a genius!
ReplyDeletehe will be happy to hear it :)
DeleteI bet watching Einstein won't be rocket science.
ReplyDeleteI wonder who will play his Serbian wife, also a scientist, Mileva Maric, who allegedly came up with most of his early theories.
DeleteGeoffrey Rush has the perfect mug to play Einstein!
ReplyDeleteand that young actor looks totally like Geoffrey, by the way
DeleteAftermath looks pretty cool. I am not usually drawn into this sort of things but the demonic possession has me intrigued
ReplyDeleteit seems all kind of hell will be unleashed in that one :)
DeleteThe Einstein movie looks fascinating. I have been learning more about him lately- so I am curious about the movie.
ReplyDeleteAftermath looks a bit scary- but maybe it helps us to watch movies about these types of things so we can think about our reactions. ;)
Thanks for sharing!

Einstein will be a series, not a movie, dear :)
