TARSEM'S 'EMERALD CITY'
EPIC TV SERIES PHOTOS!
I'm sure you will agree with me, my spylings, that this year's television season hasn't brought many particularly good things to the small 
screens and that is why we are awaiting the midseason with great hunger, and with it the launch of new programmes. The one we are especially looking forward to is Tarsem Singh's EMERALD CITY which will bring some enchanting epic fantasy to Friday evenings from January 6th with its two hour special opening over at NBC! After you've seen amazing character posters earlier this summer, today you can check out equally amazing 
new character photos for the Wizard of Oz re imagining told in ten episodes with the cast lead by Adria Arjona, Oliver Jackson Cohen, Joely Richardson and Vincent D'Onofrio!

SAY GOODBYE TO KANSAS
Emerald City is described as a modern and dark reimagining of the classic tale of Oz. Swept up into the eye of a tornado, 20 year old Dorothy Gale and her K9 police dog are transported to another world
— a
mystical land in great peril, where an all powerful Wizard has outlawed
magic and rules over a mystical land of competing
kingdoms,
lethal warriors, dark magic and a bloody battle for supremacy!
This is the fabled Land of Oz in a way you’ve never seen before — where
lethal
warriors roam, wicked witches plot in the shadows and a young
girl from Kansas becomes the headstrong hero who holds the fate of their
world in her hands.

Florence Kasumba is a rather dramatic new Wicked Witch of the East with a rather glitzy fashion taste. Gorgeous Joely Richardson is the Good Witch Glinda, while Vincent D'Onofrio is the big Wizard

The Wicked Witch of the West is played by Ana Ularu,
she is a force of nature who has entered an unholy alliance with the
Wizard. Corrupt and languorously seductive, she is a creature of
perverse humour and
unsavoury appetites. She lives in a lavishly appointed brothel where
she is the madam of sorts. When confronted with the news of the First
Sign that foretells the coming of the Beast, she’s clearly deeply
affected by the portent’s significance…and what it means for her.

Mido Hamada is brave warrior Eamonn, Stefanie Martini is lovely Lady Ev, while Jordan Loughran is Tip, and Gerran Howell is Jack, brave, adventurous and perpetually positive!

Well, this does look very tempting.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading your post on The Strange, I pulled it up on Netflix. Now I'm hooked. I think the attraction is not only the terror of the unknown, but the off-beat cast. No beauties, all of them are just a bit odd in appearance and attitude. Liking Winona Ryder in this.
I haven't watched that one, but I know many people loved it, it is getting a second season
DeleteYaaassss! January can't come fast enough! It seems like we've been waiting FOREVER for Emerald City!
ReplyDeleteindeed, for about four years, methinks, they still haven't given us a trailer, and that one I posted earlier this spring has been taken down in the meantime, I don't know what are they waiting
DeleteHopefully soon the trailer will come since it will be airing in just a few short months.
Deleteyes, it is almost the end of the freaking year
Deletewow, nice costumes in Emerald City. Lush.
ReplyDeleteTarsem has always been a visual genius
DeleteOh well, if that doesn't look good!!
ReplyDelete-Kati
can't wait for the first trailer!
DeleteI agree that mid-Season line up holds some exciting new series for television. I'm also intrigued by the live action Riverdale series coming to the CW. Archie, Jughead, Betty, Veronica, Reggie... I want to see them all come to life. But this series with the Emerald City is definitely one to watch. The pictures are so dazzling.
ReplyDeleteyes, they are really visually enchanting us with the marketing for the series :) They should release the trailer already!
