Thank you for the update! Been following the production, excited that Frank Spotnitz is involved. Eager to learn when and where it will air in the USA.
ReplyDeleteCould be on Amazon Prime as his Medici series.
DeleteNot sure I would watch it but it looks interesting enough.
ReplyDeleteThe costumes will be great I think!
DeleteDid you get this poster from an official source? It's been out there on the internet for awhile but I never see a source. Not sure if it's fan-made.
ReplyDeleteFrom IMDB, hope it is not fanmade, it is too pretty.
DeleteOk thanks. Anyone can upload to IMDb so still don't know. I agree.. it is nice but with no production info on it, I feel like it's not real. Hopefully they will release official poster soon since France Television is already including it in coming soon trailer.
DeleteFingers crossed.
DeleteIve seen so many things about Leonardo that he’s becoming almost as played out as vampires. Although, If this one is historical and accurate, maybe I’d give it a try. :)
ReplyDeleteIt will give him gay aspect which is fine enough for me :)
DeleteOh and I think your spammer is contagious.. spent half my morning deleting comments!
ReplyDeleteIt is not just you and me, it is all around the blogosphere, the only way to stop them is to turn on captcha and pop up comments, or to moderate comments if you have time, I do all three :) For me it started when that Indonesian bloggers that follows you as well followed me and I returned the comment at his blog which has so many comments that I think the spammers come from there or hunt for victims there as that is when it started for me a few months ago.
DeleteI deleted it all already twice today! I’m going to turn on those moderations Monday when I have more time. I didn’t think I got enough viewers for anyone to care to spam me lol
DeleteIf you really have a lot of them (I had up to 50 a day or more) you have to turn on captcha and pop up comments because captcha only works with that form. Moderation will stop them from getting published but you will still be getting them in your inbox. If you have a lot of spam turn on captcha for two weeks or so. It is horrible, because pop up comments don't allow for reply, but when I want to answer your comments I turn on embedded comments for five minutes until I'm done. Blogger has been horrid this year, especially now that they've killed Legacy template forever and we are all forced to live with the shaky new version. You've noticed how ugly my posts have become, too much empty space around the photos, empty lines in the middle of the text and around titles - that is all this new Blogger which is filled with bugs. I've visited Blogger forum last night and everybody is mad and angry and Blogger still won't do anything about it or fix the issues. I will have to change my design a bit today if I can to adjust to all these bugs, but it is next to impossible.
DeleteThe poster is very pretty, indeed! I hope it is the official one! If not, they need to make it that.
ReplyDeleteThat is my opinion as well!
