WILL tells the wild story of young William Shakespeare's arrival onto
the punk rock theatre scene in 16th century London, the seductive,
violent world where his raw talent faced rioting audiences, religious
fanatics and raucous side shows. It's a contemporary version of
Shakespeare's life, played to a modern soundtrack that exposes all his
recklessness, lustful temptations and brilliance.
'PILGRIMAGE' TRAILER
WITH TOM HOLLAND, STANLEY WEBER, AND RICHARD ARMITAGE
Speaking of mediaeval shenanigans, first trailer has finally been released for historical adventure movie PILGRIMAGE which plays this weekend at Tribeca Film Festival starring Tom Holland, Jon Bernthal, Richard Armitage and Stanley Weber!
ON A PERILOUS JOURNEY
Coming to theatres in August, it is set on the Irish coast in A.D. 1209, where a group of monks and knights set out on a quest to bring a
legendary artefact with biblical origins to Rome, where they believe it
will be safe from those who seek to wield its power. Their journey 
quickly turns into a perilous one, with all manner of military men and
scoundrels attempting to snatch their cargo.

That's definitely going to be an interesting take on Shakespeare. I'm curious to see how it is.
ReplyDeleteI expect the music to be uber crazy since they will use modern punk and rock songs as the soundtrack.
DeleteHow do you feel about Sherlock, Dezzy? With the modern take on technology? I love it. And the actors. Might give Will a try if it hits Netflix. Possible.
ReplyDeletesadly, I find Cucumberpatch terribly annoying, so I avoid that series.
DeleteOhhh, man. Well, if you find him annoying then I can see why you stay away.
Deleteand there's a lot of him in cinemas too :)
Delete"Pilgrimage" looks intriguing, if only because I was wondering what Richard Armitage was up to after The Hobbit. Looks like more violence and killing in the name of christianity.
ReplyDeleteI think he has been staring in some TV series in recent year or two. Berlin something
DeleteI am excited to hear the music in Will. You know I do love me modern rock & punk ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm really hoping my dear Shekhar Kapur won't disappoint me like Tarsem did with that crappy Emerald Shitty
DeleteOh, no! Emerald City is shitty? I still haven't caught up on it.
DeleteI was disgusted with how bad it was, like really beyond band, offensively, smelly, reeky, vomitty bad :)
DeleteInteresting idea with Pilgrimage...to be followed!
ReplyDeleteand one would think God would protect the pilgrims :)
DeletePilgrimage seems great!
ReplyDeleteglad you think so
