'TRANSFORMERS: LAST KNIGHT'
CASTS MERLIN & KING ARTHUR?
Now here's a surprising twist: rumour has it that Santiago Cabrera and Liam Garrigan are set to go medieval again after just being cast in
TRANSFORMERS 5: THE LAST KNIGHT. Cabrera who played Lancelot in BBC's Merlin series and Aramis in their Musketeers is allegedly set to play Merlin here, while Garrigan who already played King Arthur in Once Upon a Time ABC show is set to take the crown again! They join previously announced Laura Haddock, who herself isn't a stranger to costume drama since she starred in Da Vinci's Demons, alongside Josh Duhamel, Anthony Hopkins, Tyrese Gibson and Mark Wahlberg. It isn't much known about the plot of the movie which is already filming, but it is expected that it will be set both in modern times and the times of
Camelot, with Optimus Prime coming back to Earth trying to find some valuable artefact, obviously connected with King Arthur and his wizard Merlin! Michael Bay's movie should be released next June!

EMMA THOMPSON TO
LEAD 'THE CHILDREN ACT'
Deadline reports today that British thespian Emma Thompson is in
negotiations to star in Richard Eyre's THE CHILDREN ACT as judge Fiona
Maye who is so involved with her cases that she hears that it often
strains her marriage. But one case is of particular difficultly — that
of a 17 year old boy who is suffering from leukemia and does not want to
be forced to have possible life saving blood transfusions because it
goes against his religion. The case causes internal turmoil for the wise
and compassionate judge who must choose between the bright boy’s right
to choose and the possibility of a future. It will be an adaptation of Ian McEwan's book!

'PANFILOV'S 28' TRAILER
RUSSIA'S HEROIC WW2 SOLDIERS
And a marvellous trailer comes today from a movie which tells of Russia's glorious heroic past! PANFILOV'S 28, set to open in Russian cinemas this November, follows Panifilov's 28, a group of twenty eight 
soldiers of the Red Army's 316th Rifle Division, under the command of General Ivan Panfilov, that stopped the advance on Moscow of a column of 54 Nazi tanks of the 11th Panzer Division for several days.
Though armed only with standard issue infantry rifles and machine guns, all useless against tanks, and with wholly inadequate anti-tank 
grenades and anti-tank rifles, they fight tirelessly and defiantly, with uncommon bravery and unwavering dedication, to protect Moscow and their Motherland.

Interesting ... time traveling Transformers. I hope it's better than the last movie.
ReplyDeletethough we can't really imagine Optimus in medieval ages... maybe as an armoured vehicle?
DeleteCanadian courts face that dilemma in "The Children's Act" all the time of Jehovah's Witness parents/kids who refuse blood transfusions. If the kid is too young to make the decision, the court usually orders the transfusion. If the kid is a mature teen, the court will let the kid decide.
ReplyDeleteI really despise religious fanaticism
DeleteI just recently saw him as King Arthur in Once Upon a Time. I didn't like him too much, especially as he was evil in that version.
ReplyDeletethey do like to mess with historical figures in that borefest
DeleteI think 17 would be plenty old enough to decide if you want the treatment or not. Now, younger kids who rely on their parents to keep them safe and healthy, I am glad that the courts step in to help. I agree though. Nothing pisses me off more than religious fanaticism.
ReplyDeleteI think people are stupid till the age of 30 at least, and most of them for life...
DeleteSadly, that's a pretty accurate statement.
DeleteI've seen people older than 50 who are so painfully stupid that I wanted to bang my head against the wall... and I don't mean just that decrepit goblin Hilary or that vile rat Madlen Albright.... some of my previous employers come to mind...
DeleteWorking in retail you find all ages and classes of people to be extremely frackin' stupid! Poor Mariah is a cashier at a grocery store and every day she gets in the car and we say "Tell us about the stupid people you had to wait on today." Even on a short shift, she always has a story.
DeleteI bet she does, I can imagine... 'tis one of the worst jobs, indeed
DeleteI haven't seen Emma Thompson in anything in awhile.
ReplyDeleteI haven't either
DeleteThere's no heroism in war, just victims.
ReplyDeleteso, millions of people who die defending their city instead of fleeing it isn't heroism? Soldiers who defend their country with their bare chests against Nazi tanks isn't heroism? A small country like mine, for example, standing against the Nazis, even though all other countries around us had joined them, isn't heroism?
DeleteWar tends to be subjective. It's like being in a roomful of people and asking them "Who is a bad person?" Yes, we all hate war and yet people will never learn.
Deletesome things are never subjective, making everything relative erases the efforts of those who try to fight against evil
