THE GERMAN GIRL NOVEL
TO BECOME TV SERIES
The book by Armando Lucas Correa, which has been translated in more than 20 countries, THE GERMAN GIRL, will be turned into a TV series by
300's Gianni Nunnari. Initially set in Berlin just before the Second World War, the novel charts the life of young girl Hannah Rosenthal, who until recently lived a charmed upbringing. With the rise of the Nazis however, the streets are increasingly draped in ominous flags and Hannah is no longer welcome in the places she once considered home. A glimmer of hope appears in the shape of the St. Louis, the transatlantic liner promising Jews safe passage to Cuba. At first, the liner feels like a luxury, but as the Rosenthal family’s journey progresses and the circumstances of war change, the ship that was to be their salvation seems likely to become their doom. Many novels and films have covered the infamous Voyage of the Damned before.

THUNDER FORCE TRAILER
NEWLY SUPER. ALMOST HEROES
Your daily doze of laughter today (if you find Melissa McCarthy funny, that is) is the first trailer for comedy movie THUNDER FORCE in which
McCarthy and Octavia Spencer are not your ordinary superheroes. The official synopsis says: in a world where supervillains are commonplace, two estranged childhood best friends reunite after one devises a treatment that gives them powers to protect their city. Netflix will be thundering this one April 9th worldwide. Check out the trailer below and tell us will you be watching? It has also been revealed this week that McCarthy will play a fake Hela (the impostor of Cate Blanchett's character) in Thor: Love and Thunder. She is already shooting her role of Ursula in Disney's live action The Little Mermaid remake.

Thunder Force looks interesting.
ReplyDeleteA thundering laughter?
DeleteThe German Girl tv series will definitely be on my watch list.
ReplyDeleteThunder Force I'd probably skip, but I do love Octavia Spencer so I'll probably watch it on night where I just need to watch something that doesn't require me to think.
I will probably watch it when I'm in the mood for something commercial, which is not very often, I usually go for period set and fantasy pieces.
DeleteThe German girl seems quite interesting.
ReplyDeleteI remember the old movie with Faye Dunaway.
DeleteI love both Melissa & Octavia! 🖤 And even though there's been quite a few really dumb comedy films in the last few years (Melissa was in at least 2), I'll still give it a shot. 🙂
ReplyDeleteShe and her husband are a factory of super dumb movies LOL Pity, she did not continue the dramatic efforts after Can You Ever Forgive Me.
DeleteI've scrolled past this book a few times, but maybe this is the push I needed to read it. Hopefully we'll be able to watch the series here. The second one will be on my list of movies to watch the hubby. We both have a very juvenile sense of humor, so chances are, we'll laugh at the stupidity. I'm more intrigued on her being Ursula though.. I just don't see it. Queen Latifah did a fabulous job. I wonder why they didn't cast her.
ReplyDeleteHope you'll have a fun evening with the hubs in April :)
