SISI EPIC TV SERIES
SEASON 2 STARTS SHOOTING
After it scored a huge success in most of the European countries when it aired last Christmas, RTL's costume drama SISI has started shooting a
second season over at the Baltic with Dominique Devenport and Jannik Schümann back as empress Sisi and emperor Franz.
Dominique Devenport is back as Sisi |
Although, the birth of their son and heir to the throne should bring
them happiness, that happy moment is ruined by power struggles in Europe
and it starts numerous private challenges for the couple. Otto von
Bismarck threatens to drive Austria into a new war. Sisi tries with all
her might to be there for her husband and her people. Although she loves
Franz from the bottom of her heart and repeatedly proves her diplomatic
flair, the empress does not seem to be granted personal happiness.
Sisi's life remains that of a bird in a golden cage. When she has to
travel to Hungary on a political mission, she encounters the untamed
expanses of the
Panonnian steppe, the simple life of the people and a
very handsome man: Count Andrássy. Torn between her husband and the
rebel leader, Sisi eventually faces a difficult decision.

Devenport and Janik Schümann, Désirée Nosbusch as Archduchess Sophie, Giovanni Funiati also returns as Count Gyula Andrássy. New
additions include Murathan Muslu as Hungarian rebel leader Ödön Körtek, Romy Schroeder as Marie, the daughter of Sisi's maid Fanny, Amanda Da Gloria as Countess Emanuelle Andrássy and Bernd Hölscher as Otto von Bismarck!

INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE
AMC RELEASES FIRST PHOTOS
AMC Plus has released first official photos from their mini TV series adaptation of Anne Rice's vampire saga INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE showing our dearest boy Sam Reid as Lestat de Lioncourt and Jacob Anderson as Louis. They are joined in the cast by Eric Bogosian as Daniel Molloy, and Bailey Bass as Claudia. As you know, the story follows an 18th century Lord, Louis, as he recounts his story and tumultuous relationship with his maker – Lestat – to an eager interviewer and biographer. After he was turned into a vampire by Lestat in 1790s in New Orleans, they developed alove-hate relationship over the centuries, eventually turning a young girl named Claudia (Bailey Bass) into a vampire and adding her to their brood. It is expected that the AMC Plus series will have seven episodes in the first season.
Unfortunately, these two ain't for me. I hope there are some interesting series this summer!
ReplyDeleteIt will be mostly Star Trek and Star Wars this spring and summer.
DeleteSecond season, and we still haven't seen the first.
ReplyDeleteIt is nervewrecking indeed. I cannot for the life of me understand why Germany has no Torrent uploaders and France neither.
DeleteWell if Netflix airs Interview With The Vampire I'll watch it.
ReplyDeleteIt is not on Netflix but on AMC +, the channel that airs Walking Dead.
DeleteThese aren't for me either today. Although, I do love the gowns from the first show.
ReplyDeleteI actually think you would have loved Sisi if you could see it, it is really lavish and enchanting.
DeleteYou just don't redo Interview With The Vampire. The original movie can't be topped. I get that this is a miniseries, but still. Let it be.
ReplyDeleteI don't like it either, but I will watch it for my husband Sam Reid, my pride and joy.
