'THE OTTOMAN LIEUTENANT'
MICHIEL HUISMAN, JOSH HARTNETT AND BEN KINGSLEY
I'm bringing you first photos from some of the upcoming period set movies, today, people! A movie we are definitely awaiting with great anticipation is THE OTTOMAN LIEUTENANT an epic drama set in the World War I! It will have a limited pre Oscar release and a general cinema distribution in February next year!
WW1 EPIC ROMANCE
Directed by Joseph Ruben THE OTTOMAN LIEUTENANT follows a strong willed woman (Hera Hilmar), who, frustrated by ongoing injustice at home, leaves the United States after meeting Jude, an American doctor (Josh Hartnett) who runs a remote medical mission within the Ottoman Empire, a world both exotic and dangerous, and on the brink of what is about to become the first World War. There, she finds her loyalty tested to both Jude and the mission’s founder (Ben Kingsley) when she falls in love with their perceived enemy, a lieutenant in the Ottoman Imperial Army (Michiel Huisman). With invading army forces at their doorstep, and the world about to plunge into all-out war she must make a decision.

1ST 'TOMMY'S HONOUR'
PHOTOS WITH JACK LOWDEN
And one that already has some clips to show, and arrives into theatres next March - TOMMY'S HONOUR! Set against the early days of the sport, it centres on the fractured relationship between Scotland’s golf royalty, Tom and Tommy Morris, the dynamic father son team who ushered in the modern game. Matching his father’s success by winning his first of four Opens at the age of 17, Tommy’s (Jack Lowden) flamboyance and fame outshined Tom’s (Peter Mullan) stellar playing record and respect as founder of the first Open Championship and local caddie master, greenskeeper and club and ball maker. Tom’s jealousy of his son’s success taints their personal relationship, but together their professional relationship is front-page news. The movie is based on Kevin Cook's bestselling book. Sean's son Jason Connery is directing.
All of these look fascinating to me. I am most intrigued by the first two- but really it looks like great things are coming out. :)

we do adore all these smaller period set movies and prefer them to what Hollywood is throwing at us
DeleteI agree, Dezzy. These period piece are much more intriguing than yet another yawn fest super hero film they seem to be cranking out every season.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why but I do not really enjoy period films :(
Deleteyes, period movies are the loveliest out there. Most studies show they are watched by educated people with refined taste :)
DeleteIt's ok Zainab. Jason doesn't like them either, so I catch up on them when I am home alone. They really aren't for everyone, and I admit, there are some that I really don't like, but overall, they really are my cup of tea.
Deletefunny that Jason does not like them, given how we are similar in most other ways
DeleteHe's not much for any kind of television or movie watching. He's more of a doer. Always wanting to be moving. When he does have screen time, he's on his iPad watching YouTube tutorials learning new things. I think it's just hard for him to shut his mind down and just enjoy a little telly every now and again.
Deletethat sounds delightful, I bet it is nice having a handy/dandy man in the house
DeleteSo happy to see Gemma Arterton and Josh Hartnett back!
ReplyDeleteand Michiel too, we love him a lot
DeleteI haven't seen Josh Hartnett in awhile.
ReplyDeletehe stars in that PENNY DREADFUL horror period set series and usually does smaller movies, I've recently watched his movie SINGULARITY it was really lovely
Deletethis is good, but share some insider info on Brangelina break up Ooops!
ReplyDeletehonestly, I could not care less for that ebil manipulating witch :) She spreads much more evil than goodness around the world with her biassed and pompous and self/important ways
DeleteI can see that golf movie being a big hit. When was the last time there was a movie about golf? Can't think of a single one.
ReplyDeletenot that most people would watch a film about golf LOL
DeleteI'm a huge fan of period! I love the settings and the costumes so much.
ReplyDeleteHope you will enjoy all of these when they come out
