EMILIA CLARKE JOINS
'HAN SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY'
I know that most of you weren't overly happy when Alden Ehrenreich was cast as the lead star in HAN SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY spin off movie, but you might be happy to hear that Me Before You and Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke has just been cast by Disney as the female lead in the movie which should fly into cinemas May 2018 on the Millennium Falcon.
As you know the movie will describe the young days of captain Han
Solo and his trusted fury friend Chewbacca following their early
adventures ten years before the story of the Star Wars movies started.
Donald Glover has previously been cast as young Lando Calrissian, one of
the smugglers from the galactic underworld who will later on become an
important politician! It has been revealed that Han and Chewy will meet a
dynamic cast of characters during their adventures! The Lego Movie's
Phil Lord and Chris Miller are directing the film!
NEIL PATRICK HARRIS TRAILER
FOR 'A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS' MINI SERIES
Meanwhile, Netflix has dropped the full trailer and poster for their A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS mini series which will be released around the world on January 13th! A small screen adaptation of
Lemony Snicket book's it brings the tragic tale of the Baudelaire
orphans, Violet, Klaus, and Sunny, whose evil guardian Count Olaf (Neil Patrick Harris)
will stop at nothing to get his hands on their inheritance. The
siblings must outsmart Olaf at every turn, foiling his many devious
plans and disguises, in order to discover clues to their parents’ mysterious death. The eight episode series also stars Patrick Warburton, Joan Cusack, Malina Weissman and Louis Hynes.
SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS looks good, although I think (from what I saw) Jim Carrey brought more menace to the character.
ReplyDeletelooks kinda he is playing Carrey to me :) but I don't know the character so maybe he is like that generally?
DeleteWendy!
Deleteshe's alive
DeleteHere's a clip with Jim Carrey. What do you think, Dezzmeister? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWB1HGnA3tA
ReplyDeleteI've seen the film with Carrey! This one has to be milder since it is a telly version, although that cold weapon exchange at the end of the trailer scandalized me
DeleteYes, good point. It does have to be of a milder version being as it's for TV :)
Deleteindeed
DeleteA Han Solo movie should be a good thing!
ReplyDeleteif they don't make it as boring as FORCE AWAKENS was
DeleteAmen to that, Dezzzmeister!
Deleteamen indeed may the force not be with you
DeleteAlden Ehrenreich? Alden Ehrenreich???! Say it ain't so! Dammit... those frigging Hollyheads.
ReplyDeletethey say he killed it at the audition.... but we've seen the terribly ridiculous casting in all Star Wars movies especially the recent ones! I don't know who is doing the casting for them but they obviously are the worst casting directors ever
DeleteI know what I'll be watching start January 13!
ReplyDelete-Kati
hope it won't be unfortunate :)
DeleteI have to say Neil Patrick Harris looks fantastic as Olaf. I am sure the series will be a hit. I read the first few in the series about 15 years ago and I know lots of kids that love them.
ReplyDeleteThe Star Wars movie sounds like it will be interesting if it is done right (which I hope it will be).

hopefully people will flock to Netflix to watch it!
DeleteHonestly, I thought the Jim Carey Olaf bored me. I don't think I even completed the movie when it came out. I will, however, be catching the Netflix version. I do think NPH adds a touch of pizzazz to every character he takes on, so he will probably be a better Olaf in my opinion.
ReplyDeletethat whole movie was unwatchable even with Meryl Streep in the cast!
DeleteI'm annoyed by the brunette lady clones but let's see how Rogue One goes. I liked Jim Carrey's Olaf way better but Neil isn't bad. Let's see how it all turns out in January.
ReplyDeletethey all do look alike, Felicity and Daisy and Natalie Unimportant... the last one a horrid actress too
