NICHOLAS GALITZINE JOINS
JULIANNE MOORE IN MARY & GEORGE COSTUME DRAMA
After announcing
Julianne Moore as the lead star of their new costume series
MARY AND GEORGE,
Sky and
AMC have cast
Nicholas Galitzine as her son George. In the eight part series she will play Mary Villiers, Countess of Buckingham, who in 17th century England molded her beautiful son,
George (Galitzine), to seduce King James I and become his all-powerful lover. Through outrageous scheming, the pair rose from humble beginnings to become one of the richest, most titled and influential mother and sons England had ever seen.
HOTEL PORTOFINO
SECOND SEASON TRAILER!
|
The second season returns this February
|
Well, it comes sooner than I expected, but Australian
Foxtel has released today a trailer for the second season of
HOTEL PORTOFINO period set drama which hits the streamer February 12th and will air on
ITV February 3rd
and later this year on
PBS in USA. Set on the Italian Riviera in the 1920s,
HOTEL PORTOFINO tells the story of the Ainsworth family that has relocated to Italy to set up a quintessentially British hotel in the beautiful town of Portofino. Amidst the rise of Fascism in Mussolini’s Italy, season two will see Ainsworth family relations reach breaking point and the future of the hotel threatened.
Embracing themes of
sexual and social liberation, season two will see
Natascha McElhone reprise her role as owner of Hotel Portofino and family matriarch, Bella Ainsworth.
Mark Umbers plays her charming but dangerous aristocratic husband, Cecil,
Oliver Dench is their handsome son Lucian,
Daniele Pecci as the dashing count Albani, and
Lily Fraser will return as the hotel’s most famous guest singer-turned-movie star, Claudine Pascal.
Roby Schinasi has joined the cast as the handsome Victor Michel.
Do we get to see the beautiful Portofino town or just inside the hotel?
ReplyDeleteWe do see the beautiful seaside and town, but it was shot in Croatia, so it is Croatian beauty, not Italian. I think the first season is available on Sky Germany for you.
DeleteI haven't yet seen Prince Golytzin acting. This sounds like a good role to get to see his charms.
ReplyDeleteIf he has any LOL He would certainly not be my choice for this role, but he did look handsome in the period set costume in that flop Cindarella with the godawful Camilla Kabeljo. Let us hope they won't cast someone we cannot stand as the king! How old was the king here?
DeleteKing James was in his late 4os and George was 25 when they met in 1614.
DeleteWell, that opens space for a very hot combo indeed! Hope they cast someone hot as the king.
DeleteDid the Middleton’s take a page out of Mary and George’s book? Kate Middleton’s mom always seems pleased as punch about her new status ever since her daughter married a future king.
ReplyDeleteYou wouldn't be? LOL
DeleteI'm not an attention whore, so probably not. I prefer to blend into the background when possible. I wouldn't want the media attention.
DeleteBut when you see all the perks you probably wouldn't mind it. Their business went up after the marriage, hers especially.
