'WILD MOUNTAIN THYME'
PUTS JAMIE DORNAN AND EMILY BLUNT IN LOVE
Earlier last spring I told you that John Patrick Shanley is preparing to turn his Broadway stage play Outside Mullingar into a romantic movie titled WILD MOUNTAIN THYME and that Jamie Dornan and Holliday
Grainger will play the lovebirds in it, but she is now being replaced by Emily Blunt with John Hamm and Christopher Walken also joining the cast in the story set in the enchanting landscapes of rural Ireland. Dornan and Blunt will play obstinate star crossed lovers, whose families are caught up in a feud over a hotly contested patch of land that separates their two farms!
Emily Blunt takes over the lead female role |
Anthony (Jamie Dornan) always seems to be out in the fields working,
worn down by his father’s (Christopher Walken) constant belittling. But
what really stings is his father’s threat to bequeath the family farm to
his American cousin Adam (John Hamm). Rosemary (Emily Blunt) at first
seems to hold a grudge for having been shamed by Anthony in
childhood,
but the sparks between them would keep a bonfire blazing through the
night. Her mother Aoife (Dearbhla Molloy) strives to unite the families
before it is too late.
Jamie Dornan will shoot the film in his Irish homeland |
Dornan, Blunt, and Ireland. That's all I need to know before committing to watching this film. It's going to be beautiful all around!
ReplyDeleteHope he does not talk too much, unlike her, he is a rather terrible actor, just gorgeous and not much else, poor sod.
DeleteEmily Blunt is one of my all time favorite actresses. I absolutely adore her. Christopher Walken is great, but I can’t picture him as a borderline abusive father! This one I want to see.
ReplyDeleteI can picture him as an abusive father, but I can't picture him speaking Irish LOL
DeleteHahaha good point! That either.
DeleteShould be fun!
DeleteI can totally see Walken as an abusive father. I remember I first became aware of him in Sarah Plain and Tall. He was the romantic lead, and I loved his character. He's taken some roles since with some really psycho people. It's hard to see him as anything romantic anymore.
ReplyDeleteI only ever see him as a psycho LOL He is one of those actors that cannot portray anything except freaky villains.
