FIREBRAND EPIC THRILLER
JUDE LAW IS HENRY VIII
I've already told you that Michelle Williams will play Catherine Parr in FIREBRAND historical thriller and now Jude Law has been crowned as Henry VIII! By the time young Catherine Parr married the deteriorating,
increasingly despotic King Henry VIII, she had no assurances of a happy marriage; in fact, she had no assurances of surviving this marriage at all. Of her predecessors, two were thrown out, one died in childbirth and two were beheaded. While Catherine tried to keep her head about her to navigate the politics of her position, she brought a secret agenda. She was Protestant, believed it her duty to marry Henry, for it would be the only position in which she could convert him, and the kingdom, from his pro Catholic position. That faith was tested when the church resisted granting his divorce from his first wife so he could marry Anne Boleyn, who would later be beheaded. With arrests, torture, and executions of Protestants on the rise, Catherine invited a dangerous game that
would leave one of them dead before long. The thriller is told through Catherine’s singular point-of-view of the psychological horror of living with a monster and the remarkable will to not only survive, but thrive.

My first thought was "Is he wearing some weird sort of American flag ensemble?" and then my second thought was "..but it totally works on him!". LOL Say Jude Law and I'm in!
ReplyDeleteEverything works on him!
DeleteAs a Tudormaniac. I'm bound to watch it. I like Catherine Parr, and I guess they'll be more partial to her than they'll be in Becoming Elizabeth
ReplyDeleteI liked Joely Richardson as Catherine in The Tudors. Unusual that they picked Jude so hot, as Henry was at that age fugly as hell and sick as a drunk seal.
DeleteI think I'd probably like Home.
ReplyDeleteShould be tense and nice.
DeleteI love Kathy Bates, but Home looked a bit too slow for me.
ReplyDeleteAnd we love us some Jude Law and anything having to do with Royalty, so I am all in for Firebrand.
I like McLaughlin, there is something very nice in him. But I was never a fan of Franka Potente.
DeleteDefinitely no Jude Law...can't stand him at all. Home seems a good one.
ReplyDeleteI adore Jude Law, Law is the law. He and Ewan will be bards of British scene when they get old like Ian and Derek are now.
DeleteHome looks nice i liked its trailer!
ReplyDeleteGlad you did.
