MICHAEL CAINE JOINS
BEN FOSTER IN 'MEDIEVAL'
A week ago I informed you that Ben Foster will lead Czech historical epic MEDIEVAL and now he is joined by no other but Michael Caine. In the
English language film that will follow their 14th century hero Jan Zizka, Caine will be Lord Boresh, the right hand of the Czech King Wenceslaus IV.

MEDIEVAL will revolve around their national hero Jan Zizka of
Trocnov, a revered military tactician who defeated armies of the
Teutonic Order and the Holy Roman Empire. He is known for his innovative
strategies and for quickly training peasants to face skilled and
armoured opponents who usually outnumbered his own troops. The film will
also depict his relationship with a local heiress and his fight against
a rival king.

Whom would you like to play Black Sam? |
I understand that "Medieval" is a czech production; so, I dislike it that a national hero like general Jan Zizka is played by a foreign actor (Ben Foster). I'll be surprised if the Czech people will ignore that.
ReplyDeleteThey cast foreign actors to bring international attention to the film. Richard Burton once played our great leader Tito in a WW2 film. The problem here is that Ben Foster is not really a good actor, that is the offensive part :( Sometimes they do go too far, like when they've put a black actor to play Greek prince Achiles and also Zeus in a BBC series.
DeleteA good pirate, eh? Gotta love a bad boy with a good heart.
ReplyDeleteisn't it a refreshing change? Strange how we don't have Robin Hoods in our times...
DeleteMaybe we do, they just aren't getting the recognition they deserve just yet.
Deleteyes, freakin' media won't report on it as they're paid by the ebil companies and rich peoples.
DeleteBlack Sam sounds great.
ReplyDeletehope they do some interesting casting
DeleteMichael Caine just keeps going and going and going, like the Energizer Bunny!
ReplyDeleteand yet, he just can't buy himself a new pair of glasses, I think he had these since before my time.
