NICHOLAS HOULT TO PLAY
DRACULA'S HELPER RENFIELD
 |
Nicholas Hoult will be Renfield!
|
It will be Universal's new epic movie on Dracula's favourite henchman
RENFIELD with
Chris McKay directing and
Nicholas Hoult taking the lead role. In the original Dracula novel, R.M. Renfield was an inmate at a lunatic asylum who was thought to be suffering from delusions but actually is a servant of Dracula. The sad news is that it seems the story will be set in the present times, so it won't be a costume drama. Beside this one, Universal studio also has
Wolfman with Ryan Gosling and
Van Helsing movies in preparation within their Monster Universe movie series which hasn't been overly successful so far.
CHEVALIER DE SAINT GEORGES
FINDS ITS MARIE ANTOINETTE

Lucy Boynton will play the French queen
|
After casting Samara Weaving as a female opera singer last month, new period set movie
CHEVALIER DE SAINT GEORGES has cast the queen of France Marie Antoinette who will be played by
Lucy Boynton. The lead role
goes to Kelvin Harrison Jr. who will play the title character: Born in 1745 in the French Caribbean, de Saint Georges was the illegitimate son of an African slave and a French plantation owner. He rose to improbable heights in French society, dazzling as both a violinist and composer and a champion fencer. An ill-fated love affair with a French noblewoman and a falling out with Marie Antoinette and her court led to his untimely downfall.
Stephen Williams is directing the costume drama movie.
I wonder if there will be some good music in the Chevalier De Saint Georges.
ReplyDeleteOf course there will, it is about a musician.
DeleteI'm all about Chevalier De Saint Georges. I'm still meh about Dracula.
ReplyDeleteDrac should go to eternal sleep.
DeleteLucy Boynton keeps getting big roles, good for her. Saw her in The Politician first. 😏
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've seen her in anything, but she looks very bland in the photos.
DeleteBland in the photo? I think Lucy Boynton looks really gorgeous here.
ReplyDeleteBland is not the same as pretty, deary, there is no personality there, looks like a cold bowl of soup, no radiance, no charisma. And she looks like that in all of her photoshoots. The dress is pretty, though.
DeleteMeh to Dracuala too, but Chevalier De Saint Georges is a definitely yes. I agree with Angie. I think Lucy has an understated beauty about her. Fresh faced, girl next door vibe. I like it.
ReplyDeleteHope Chevalier won't be too woke.
DeleteFingers crossed!
DeleteAnd toes against woke woes.
