MOVIE ADAPTATION FOR

 DO THE BIRDS STILL SING IN HELL? INCREDIBLE WW2 STORY

Monarch Media and Jayson Rothwell will turn Horace Greasley's biography DO THE BIRDS STILL SING IN HELL? novel into a movie musical. This incredibly moving love story will be a biopic on cocky

Some historians have tried to debunk the story

British WWII soldier Horace Jim Greasley who has sacrificed himself over 200 times by escaping from a German POW camp to both be with the woman he loved –the camp Commander’s personal translator– and to return to camp with food and supplies for fellow prisoners in order to keep them alive.

     Horace was 20 years old in the spring of 1939 when Adolf Hitler invaded Czechoslovakia and Poland. After seven weeks of training, he found himself facing the might of the German army in a muddy field in Northern France, with just 30 rounds of ammunition in his weapon pouch. Horace's war didn't last long. He was taken prisoner on May 25th, 1940 andforced to endure a 10 week march across France and Belgium en route to

Holland. Horace survived, barely, but many of his comrades were not so fortunate. Falling by the side of the road through exhaustion and malnourishment meant a bullet through the back of the head and the corpse left to rot. After a three day train journey without food and water, Horace found himself incarcerated in a prison camp in Poland. It was there he embarked on an incredible love affair with a German girl interpreting for his captors. He experienced the sweet taste of freedom each time he escaped to see her, yet incredibly he made his way back into the camp each time - sometimes two or three times a week. He broke out of the camp more than 200 times, often bringing food back to his fellow prisoners to supplement their meagre rations, and toward the end of the war even managed to bring radio parts back in, allowing the BBC news to be delivered daily to more than 3,000 prisoners.

Phoebe Dynevor plays the female lead

how silly and ridiculous it looks. The eight episode Regency Era set drama will arrive to Netflix December 25th! Narrated by Julie Andrews, it follows the lives of the eight Bridgerton siblings, a wealthy family living in Regency England. Based largely on Quinn's first novel in the series, The Duke and I, the first season is tracking the story of Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor), as she embarks on a fake courtship with Simon, the Duke of Hastings (Regé Jean Page). Beset by influence from Queen Charlotte (Golda Rosheuvel) and societal pressures, Daphne and Simon turn to each other to try to beat the ton at their own game. But things get complicated when their fauxmance starts to feel all too real.

 

BRIDGERTON is set in the sexy, lavish and competitive world of Regency London high society. From the glittering ballrooms of Mayfair to the aristocratic palaces of Park Lane and beyond, the series unveils a seductive, sumptuous world replete with intricate rules and dramatic power struggles,

Rege Jean Page takes the male lead

where no one is truly ever on steady ground. At the heart of the show is the powerful Bridgerton family. Comprised of eight close knit siblings (each of them has one of the eight novels set between 1813 and 1827 dedicated too them), this funny, witty, daring and clever group must navigate the upper ten thousand’s marriage mart in search of romance, adventure and love.

WHO ELSE IS IN THE CAST?

The rest of the Bridgerton clan includes Ruth Gemmell as matriarch Lady Violet; Jonathan Bailey as eldest child Anthony; Luke Thompson as sensitive Benedict; Luke Newton as charmer Colin; Claudia Jessie as independent Eloise; and Ruby Stokes as shy Francesca.
