SERPENT QUEEN TRAILER
THE ROYAL VILLAINESS
After
those first photos that I showed you last week from THE SERPENT QUEEN
series, Starz has just sent us the first epic trailer for the historical
series about infamous Catherine de Medici revealing that the series
will launch September 11th, much sooner than we expected. Samantha
Morton leads the cast portraying the French queen and descendant of the
legendary Italian noble family who believed it's safer to be feared than
loved especially as life wasn't really kind to her forcing her to
become cunning, sly and above all ruthless.
FIRST MEDIEVAL
TRAILER FROM THE CZECH EPIC!
We finally have the first full trailer for new historical adventure MEDIEVAL which sees American actor Ben Foster playing Czech national
hero and warlord Jan Zizka who was
a powerful figure in the famous Hussite wars in the medieval times. With the massive budget of about $20 million, the new historical movie was shot on the sets near Prague and around Czech republic.

He is not the only athlete in the production as legendary Czech decathlon world recorder Roman Sebrle is also in the cast! International theatre release is now scheduled for September 9th when it will hit US cinemas as well with September 8th release in Czech republic.

WHAT'S THE MOVIE ABOUT?
MEDIEVAL will follow their 14th century national hero Jan Zizka of
Trocnov (Ben Foster), a revered military tactician who defeated armies
of the Teutonic Order and the Holy Roman Empire. He is known for his
innovative strategies and for quickly training peasants to face skilled
and armoured opponents who usually outnumbered his own troops. The historical adventure film
will also have another storyline which will revolve around his relationship with king's lover, a rich heiress Catherine (Sophie
Lowe), whom he is sent to save but unexpectedly falls in love with her, while another storyline will describe his fight
against a rival king.
Ben Foster takes the lead role in the film |
Our favourite William Moseley plays Jan's brother Jaroslav, legendary Michael Caine is Lord Boresh the right hand of Czech King Wenceslaus and German superstar Til Schweiger is Rosenberg, the richest lord in the kingdom. British thespian Matthew Goode will portray King Sigismund of Hungary and Croatia, the brother of Czech King Wenceslaus, and if my
eyes are not playing with me he will have a blondish hair in the movie!
Czech actor Karel Roden is playing King Wenceslaus himself!
The charming Michael Caine is getting old...
ReplyDeleteOld and cranky LOL
DeleteI just read that Madame S is coming to Starz September 11th I'm having a fit. And Netflix is bringing Sissi on the 29th. And I just read in Wikipedia that BBC is having Marie Antoinette on November. It's going to be A Fall of Queens!
ReplyDeleteAnd plus the queens of Elves and Numenor in Rings of Power! I might do a post of that kind Lol FALL OF QUEENS!
DeleteDo it, I plan to write individual reviews so they wont clash. It would be nice if they could bring Diane de Poitiers for good measure.
DeleteSince they will be selling Diane as a four episode series, I hope someone will buy it and that it will end up on Torrents, but I am not raising my hopes up as Germinal already broke our heart being so uncatchable even though it even won awards.
DeleteAgain, I didn'tread you had placed the date above. By the way, it looks like Cathy's Black Legend is in full swing. It's going to be fun
ReplyDeleteI did post the date and I also updated the central post on the series, the one you go to when clicking to the banner in our reel above. So many great lines in the trailer, should be fun, looks like that is what they are going for which is a huge change from the deadly dull Becoming Elizabeth.
DeleteI think back then it was a better tactic to be feared than loved, so I'd say she had a good game plan.
ReplyDeleteYou gotta teach your enemies their lesson, otherwise they will never learn.
DeleteLast week I purchased (2) book recommendations from your site. One of them is all about the serpent queen. I'll listen to the book before I watch any shows/movies about her.
ReplyDeleteHope you will enjoy them!
