CHRIS PINE IS 'OUTLAW KING'
ROBERT THE BRUCE EPIC
is to wear the Scottish kilt! Netflix is to shoot OUTLAW KING epic period drama that will tell a different version than Braveheart did on Robert The Bruce, the king who led his country to freedom from the oppressive rule of England in Scotland. Ben Foster (who proved to be a very bad choice for epic roles with his under whelming performance in Warcraft) is apparently in talks to play James Douglas, the Scottish knight who became the king’s chief adviser. Beside depicting his efforts to gather the forces against Edward II, the movie will have a love story as well between him and his queen Elizabeth de Burgh who gave him strength to push out the English army.
'THE BLACK COMPANY'
EPIC FANTASY TV SERIES
If you wondered what is David Goyer up to after Da Vinci's Demons, he is to executive produce a TV series out of epic fantasy 
novel saga THE BLACK COMPANY from Glen Cook with Eliza Dushku expected to play the dark sorceress The Lady, as 'Deadline' reports.
novel saga THE BLACK COMPANY from Glen Cook with Eliza Dushku expected to play the dark sorceress The Lady, as 'Deadline' reports.
The ten book saga follows THE BLACK COMPANY, an elite mercenary unit
that carries out the often nefarious deeds of the highest bidder across a
Tolkienesque landscape. When these hard bitten men discover the
prophecy that the embodiment of good has been reborn, they must
re-examine their loyalties. The Lady, who rules over the Northern
Empire, uses the Black Company to further her domination of a power
structure rife with usurpers.

Chris Pine was so good in Hell or High Water!

the same director is directing this one as well, actually
DeleteIs the "Outlaw King" the Robert the Bruce project for which Our Tom was originally tapped to play the lead role? Or is that another, separate project?
ReplyDeleteI've no idea, I forgot that Tom was mentioned for it!
DeleteChris Pine in a kilt? Knock me over with a feather ♥
ReplyDeleteshould be quite fun even if he has predominantly American look
DeleteLots of 'epic' goodness going on here today Dezzy.
ReplyDeleteit was a day of epic delights
DeleteOutlaw King sounds intriguing. The Black Company could make some nice tv watching if done right.
ReplyDeleteI hope they don't do it the Shannara MTV style, but given its with Dushku I ain't raising my hopes up.
DeleteWow, can´t wait for "The Exception". I simply love Plummer´s acting :)
ReplyDeletehe is always great!
DeleteIn the new Wonder Woman movie Pine looks like a boy and she looks like a woman.
ReplyDeleteI do love the style they gave him in WW, that prewar style, both clothes and hairdos for men, was the best evah!
DeleteYou know, I'm just not a big Pine fan in general but maybe he'll change my mind when I see him on the show. We'll see. Right now, I just see child. But I shall go in with an open mind.
DeleteI did not like his Kirk in Star Trek, he portrayed it as some kind of reckless jock. But I haven't watched the original series so maybe Kirk really is like that?
DeleteI enjoy the real Star Trek. Didn't think of Kirk as a reckless jock and would be annoyed at Pine if I had to sit through that.
Deletehe really gets on Spock's nerves in it, and that says a lot knowing Vulcan nerves
DeleteI will try to see all three of these. I will definitely see Outlaw King. Robert the Bruce, Edward II, and Elizabeth de Burgh are in my family tree. As with Braveheart, it's hard to pick a side to root for when both sides are family. Well, actually I'll be rooting for Scottish...
ReplyDeleteare you saying you're Scottish royalty, Pat :)
DeleteHA! I'm far from royalty, but they are all in my family tree. Pretty weird, right?
Deletetotally
DeleteRobert the Bruce is the father-in-law of the great-grandfather of the husband of the wife of my 18th great-uncle.
ReplyDeleteEdward II is the father-in-law of my 21st great-grandfather.
Elizabeth De Burgh is the wife of 2nd great-grandfather of husband of wife of my 18th great-uncle.
Or something like that! It's confusing. And it doesn't really mean anything at all...
he he he that is a really complicated line indeed
