'ANDORRA' THRILLER CASTS
TONI COLLETTE & CLIVE OWEN
Cast is shaping up for the movie adaptation of Peter Cameron's novel ANDORRA with Toni Collette, Gillian Anderson and Joanna Lumley joining Clive Owen! He plays Alexander Fox, a bookseller who leaves the U.S. after a personal tragedy to begin a new life in the tiny country of ANDORRA.
He quickly becomes entangled with the ever present locals. Toni Collette is Mrs Dent, an Australian with a large dog and a volatile secret. Joanna Lumley is Mrs Quay, the kayaking matriarch of an Andorran dynasty who seems to recall Fox from long ago. He finds comfort in the company of her daughter, Miss Quay (Gillian Anderson), as the mystery of his origin deepens.
When a woman’s body is found soon after Fox’s arrival, the local lieutenant becomes strangely convinced that he is responsible. With his past threatening to envelop his newfound paradise, Fox finds himself in a crisis of conscience and identity, in a foreign country from which he may never escape.

'THE SON' TRAILER FOR
PIERCE BROSNAN MINI SERIES
In the trailer section the first one has been revealed, together with the first photos, for new period set series THE SON which will air at AMC next year with Pierce Brosnan playing the 'first son of Texas'!
THE FIRST SON OF TEXAS
The ten episode series is a multi generational saga that weaves between two time periods: the story of young Eli and his life with the Comanches in 1849, and Eli 60 years later as he works to maintain his family’s cattle empire against the backdrop of the Bandit Wars of South Texas. Henry Garrett plays Eli’s son Pete who’s struggling to make his father proud, while Sydney Lucas plays his granddaughter Jeannie, a tomboy unwilling to accept an existence of childbearing and marrying well.

YAY! I've been waiting to see My Queen, Christina Hendricks, in something ever since Mad Men ended!
ReplyDeleteshe had a couple of weird projects after that
DeleteI love Toni Collette.
ReplyDeleteshe is in our top ten fave actresses of all times
DeleteToni Collette is one of the classiest and talented actors of her generation.
ReplyDeleteabsolutely, Blanchett, Winslet, Collette, that is our list
DeleteThese look great. I'll especially watch anything with Clive Owen.
ReplyDeletehe will be happy to hear it :)
DeleteWhile The Son sounds good I'm tired of television trying to show independent females by making it look like having children or getting married makes a woman weak somehow. I've done neither but respect the decision. Which I wouldn't be around if my parents had done neither. Anyway, Andorra has my attention. I like the plot.
ReplyDeleteyes, that is the thing in feminism, when they think being female (in a usual meaning) is wrong and ladies need to become men.
DeleteOh, how I'd love to escape to a tiny country and live out my life in peace and quiet. Minus the dead bodies, of course ;)ANDORRA sounds good.
ReplyDeleteI'd probably choose Lichtenstein or Luxembourg myself ... I have to see if grand duke Guillaume of Luxembourg is hiring butlers
DeleteCrooked house... Now that's one to watch.
ReplyDeleteChristie has become quite trendy these days
DeletePierce Brosnan! Woow...It's been ages I haven't seen him on any movies. Good to have him back..
ReplyDeletehe has a lot of those bad ones :)
