PATHE TO MAKE EPIC SERIES
ON NAPOLEON,BLACK MUSKETEER
Most glorious of news, people! Our favourite movie studio Pathe is launching its TV branch and has already set ambitious first projects. To be headed by Aude Albano who gave us Versailles, their first series will mostly
include large scale period drama revolving around iconic French figures, as Variety reports. Jean François Richet is already preparing for them a series on NAPOLEON, the first episode has apparently already been written with the help of Thierry Lentz, who heads the Napoleon Foundation in Paris and has written several books about him. Meanwhile, Matthieu Delaporte and Alexandre de la Patelliere (who are also behind Pathé’ $73 million two part movie adaptation of Alexandre Dumas’ classic novel The Three Musketeers) are creating THE BLACK MUSKETEER series inspired by the epic true story of the first Black Musketeer in French history, Louis Aniaba. The show will follow the adventures of this lesser known, yet truly heroic character who will be also be portrayed in the two-part film adaptation with Vincent Cassel, Romain Duris and Eva Green. Next two years Pathe plans to produce several upscale series of high quality.

SETTLERS SF TRAILER
WITH JONNY LEE MILLER
First, rather dynamic trailer has been released for science fiction thriller SETTLERS out in theatres in video on demand from July 23rd
following mankind's earliest settlers on the Martian frontier who do what they must to survive the cosmic elements and one another. The story is set on a remote homestead on the Martian frontier, following a refugee family from Earth that clings to hope for a better life. When strangers appear in the surrounding hills and attempt to run them off, nine year old Remmy (Brooklynn Prince) is faced with the desperate reality her mother (Sofia Boutella) and father (Jonny Lee Miller) have tried so hard to keep from her. Wyatt Rockeller's first movie, shot in South Africa, also stars Ismael Cruz Córdova as the main villain. Check out the revealing trailer below and tell us what you think.

Settlers definitely sounds like my kind of movie.
ReplyDeleteIt is very intriguing, too bad they pretty much showed us the whole movie in the trailer LOL
DeleteTrailer of Settlers seems really good. Though I am not a fan of science fiction, I do enjoy thriller.
ReplyDeleteAnd Jonny Lee Miller :)
DeleteGoes to show humans can't shed their violent ways, even on another planet. We will be our own downfall.
ReplyDeleteAnd others' too.
DeleteEven without sound on my computer, I can tell that Settlers isn't for me. I'll wait for epic TV shows to fill my time instead. :)
ReplyDeleteIt is very scary.
