'BRITANNIA' EPIC SERIES
AVE! FIRST PHOTOS ARE HERE!
Years have passed since I've first announced that we will be getting a new Roman period epic series and now, after centuries of wait, we've got the first pictures from BRITANNIA epic series that will air at British Sky One and Amazon in the United States sometime later this year! Kelly Reilly, Stanley Weber and David Morrissey lead the cast of this ten part series which was shot in Wales and Czech Republic. I truly hope we get some kind of trailer soon!
BRITANNIA is set in 43 A.D. and charts the Roman invasion of what
would become Great Britain. The determined, yet terrified, Roman
Imperial Army returns to crush the Celtic heart of Britannia, a
mysterious land ruled by wild warrior women and powerful druids who can
channel the forces of the underworld.
Kelly Reilly and Zoe Wanamaker play arch-rivals Kerra and Antedia who
must set aside their differences to combat the invasion, led by the
towering figure of Aulus Plautius (Morrissey). Hugo Speer, Nikolaj Lie
Kaas, Stanley Weber, Eleanor Worthington Cox and Ian McDiarmid also
star! Our dear Trevor Morris is writing the music!
CHRISTINA RICCI IN
TRAILER FOR 'Z: THE BEGINNING OF EVERYTHING' TV SERIES
Another period set series with ten episodes has unleashed first trailer and poster today: arriving with all episodes at Amazon January 27th is Z: THE BEGINNING OF EVERYTHING in which Christina Ricci plays F. Scott Fitzgerald's crazy wife Zelda!
Young actor David Hoflin plays The Great Gatsby author in the series
that follows the pair from their first meeting in Montgomery, Alabama,
in 1918 and through their passionate, turbulent love affair and their
marriage made in heaven, lived out in hell as the celebrity couple of
their time. The series travels through the wild parties, the wicked
jazz, the dissolute artists of the era, as well as the alcoholism,
adultery and struggle with dashed dreams and mental illness that
characterizes their later years.
You gotta love historic films!
ReplyDelete-Kati
both are series not films :) but we do adore them!
DeleteBritannia is looking very nice...and what a period to relive...
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm very excited about it, can't wait for a trailer!
DeleteRats! I misread your post and thought "Z" was going to be on Netflix. I don't have Amazon, boo hoo.
ReplyDeleteI don't have any of those... I don't have a telly at all....
DeleteI liked the trailer and love Christina Ricci.
ReplyDeleteit was quite a fun trailer, even though I hate Zelda Fitzgerald, she was such a biatch,excuse my French :)
DeleteInteresting. Christina sure has grown up.
ReplyDeleteshe's getting old now :)
DeleteI haven't seen Christina is a long time. Did I ever tell you that my little brother SWORE that I was in The Addams Family when he was about 8. We even corrected him but he wouldn't believe it. I guess he thinks I am a ringer for Christina (or a gothic looking Wednesday Addams lol)
ReplyDeletewell, you do love the Adams gang. I'd rather put myself among the Muppets....
DeleteI do like Kelly Reilly!
ReplyDeletefits the series quite well, methinks unlike Zoe, can't imagine her in an epic series and getting her seriously
DeleteBritannia looks like it's going to be good. Looking forward to seeing the trailer when it comes out.
ReplyDeleteyou will adore the music since it is being written by our beloved Trevor Morris!
DeleteUm...
