Hollywood is kinda sleeping today, people, so I shall entertain you today with two low budgeted but still interesting period set movies. The first one is
actually based on a true person!
MARY ANNING AND THE DINOSAUR HUNTERS should arrive into cinemas sometime this year!
The film reveals the life, plight and loves of the eminent Mary
Anning (
Katharine Hamilton), an 1800's fossil hunter - navigating her
career and research in a male dominated society at a time when women's
research was largely unrecognised. Predominantly unknown despite her
spectacular finds, including Icthyiousauri, a Pterodactyl and

Plesiosaurus, and notwithstanding the fact that Darwins' 'Origin of
Species' was largely influenced by her work. She is at last becoming the
most celebrated paleontologist of all time.
'WUTHERING HEIGHTS'
THE LATEST MOVIE ADAPTATION
Now, I must admit that the casting for this one looks terrible or hilarious (admittedly the budget is just 100,000 pounds) to say the least, but who

WUTHERING HEIGHTS scheduled for opening in UK cinemas this November.

20 years of her
haunting his every waking and sleeping hour. A tale of love, hate,
horror, haunting, but most of all a story about human nature. Emily
Bronte wrote the greatest , most terrifying love story of all time.
It's about time Mary Anning got her due! Another great woman overlooked and dismissed.
ReplyDeletenot sure anyone will really hear about this one, though :)
DeleteOh yes they will, check out Mary Anning & the Dinosaur Hunters FB page, it has an update. With Jenny Agutter in the most viewed TV programme worldwide, this important film about a brilliant woman will make a huge impact! It's due out 2020
DeleteWhat? It's still not out two years after?
DeleteThey both look deliciously intriguing!
ReplyDeleteglad you think so
DeleteI sometimes wonder what other inventions or discoveries could have been made if women and minorities weren't so oppressed back then. It's nice to see that she's finally getting the recognition she rightfully deserves.
ReplyDeleteyou usually know only about the discoveries made by the people from the West when in truth, at least half of them if not more were made in Russia, Eastern Europe, Asia and also in the Muslim World.
Delete"Wuthering Heights' - great novel and movie adaptations!
ReplyDeleteThe gypsy element is always relevant as the world gets more and more mixed ethnically and struggles for the acceptance of the 'different'.
The only difference being that over in UK Gypsies are not the Romani people that we have in our part of the world. For them the Gypsies are not so much a race as a way of travelling living which is why they often call them Travellers as they don't really like to live in houses but in trailers.
