JACK O'CONNELL TO LEAD
ALEXANDER MCQUEEN BIOPIC
There definitely is a resemblance: as news come from Pathé production company, young Brit Jack O'Connell is set to take the lead role in their untitled biopic of scandalous fashion designer ALEXANDER MCQUEEN! Based on late designer's biography Blood Beneath the Skin by Andrew Wilson the movie will be directed by Andrew Haigh! Back in year 2009 McQueen organized one of his greatest shows which featured a reworking of his greatest designs from the past 15 years! It was dedicated to his mother whose death triggered his depression and suicide. The film explores McQueen’s creative process in the months leading up to the show providing an intimate portrait of the man behind the global brand – a moving celebration of a visionary genius whose designs transcended fashion to become art.
Never heard of the book but not getting a good feeling about it!
ReplyDeleteit apparently has five or four parts and has been a hit among the readers
DeleteThat's a shame about Mortal Engines.
ReplyDeleteyes, wish they would just produce and quite writing scripts, they haven't written a good one since LOTR
DeleteI haven't read Mortal Engines- but it sounds like things could turn out not so great (both in the future and the adaptation).
ReplyDelete~Jess
we shall keep fingers crossed that they do not
DeleteI haven't read Mortal Engines, but I probably won't be seeing the film either.
ReplyDeleteyes, you don't do epic fantasy :)
DeleteI could probably do some, but this one really doesn't look like my cuppa tea.
Deleteyou could watch Lord of the Rings, that one was lovely
DeleteI've never actually heard of Mortal Engines but the concept sounds awesome. I might need to steal that idea for a DnD game. haha
ReplyDeletethey've been working on a potential movie apparently from 2007.
DeleteOh, that's gonna be good!
ReplyDelete-Kati
Sure it will
DeleteI'm not a fan of most Peter Jackson movies, but you know, he just may surprise us, right? I hope?
ReplyDeleteHe did surprise us with his first ever movie BAD TASTE
DeleteAll of Peter Jackson's movies suck for one reason only: he just doesn't know when to stop. A good editor could easily turn his fetish for his own shots into more enjoyable movies. There. I said it.
ReplyDeletenot all, LOTR was good, at least the first two parts and so was HEAVENLY CREATURES!
