'THE THIRD DAY' TRAILER
FOR NEW JUDE LAW TV SERIES
Sky has released the first trailer for their new series THE THIRD DAY starring Jude Law and Naomie Harris in a story told over six episodes and in two distinct halves. The first – ‘Summer’, sees Sam (Law), a man drawn to a
mysterious island off the British coast where he encounters a group of
islanders set on preserving their traditions at any cost. The second – ‘Winter’, follows Helen (Harris), a strong-willed outsider who comes to the island seeking answers, but whose arrival precipitates a fractious battle to decide its fate. Summer and Winter work together as a complete series, but there will
also be a theatre movie in the middle and the three parts will together describe a larger narrative, creating a unique experience for those who seek it. Emily Watson also stars in the series that premiers May 12th and will also air on HBO.

I like BBC works:)
ReplyDeleteHope it will be better than most of their recent work.
DeleteSeems like a lot of work to get the full story. As a viewer, I don't think I want to invest that much time into this.
ReplyDeleteBut they say it can all be watched separately too.
DeleteI'm sure they can be watched as stand alones, but I'm one that if I invest in one, I'm going to have to invest in all 3 stories. Kind of like those sagas you just finished translating. If I start one, no matter how much I like or dislike it, I have to finish or it will bother the hell out of me until I do (unless it is just so awful, like those Twilight or 50 Shades stories, then I can walk away without a second thought).
DeleteSagas are tricky indeed.
DeleteJude Law picks interesting vehicles for his talent.
ReplyDeleteHe has moved over to the small screens in recent years but I haven't watched any of his new dramas, I must admit.
DeleteThe Third Day looks great! I'm a big Jude Law fan for his talent, even though I'm not sure I like him as a person. We recently watched a movie with a younger version of Jude Law. I never realized how good looking he was in his youth!
ReplyDeleteI much prefer Jude to his wife if that is what you are alluding to :) I don't like his kids, though, both Raferty and the oldest daughter seem like a spoilt brats. Jude was incredibly stunning as a youngsters, and still is. I've always thought he possesses the magnetic capturing screen presence that makes him the male counterpart to Cate Blanchett.
