Instead of Kevin Spacey who was originally meant to lead the film, Hungarian, British and Mongolian historical epic 1242: GATEWAY TO THE WEST will now have Ray Stevenson who is already shooting in Budapest. Eric Roberts, Michael Ironside, Neil Stuke, David Schofield, Jeremy Neumark-Jones, and Genevieve Florence also star. The movie follows a profoundly spiritual man (Neumark-Jones) of Hungarian Castle Esztergom who must confront and halt the Great Mongolian Army led by Batu Khan, grandson of Ghengis Khan (Mongolian actor Bold Choimbol) from invading Europe in 1242. The story focuses on their unlikely meeting
Jeremy Neumark Jones and Genevieve Florence
during the Mongolian Lunar New Year when hostilities are paused. Stevenson will portray Papal Legate Cesareani, a secret Mongol ally who plays a key role as go-between.

I grabbed the book out of one of our free little libraries then ended up putting it back since I think this is one I'd rather watch than read simply because of the musical vibe. You just can't read about music and get the same experience as listening to it. This is one of the few times I'd rather watch the film than read the book.

ReplyDeleteThey are publishing an album too with original songs for this imaginary band, could be a hit if they do nice songs.
DeleteFingers crossed it’s a good one!
DeleteHoping for at least one hit, but not a fan of Riley Kelogh.
DeleteWould love to watch the DAISY JONES AND THE SIX!! He looks like Mick Jagger, who I never like.
ReplyDeleteCannot stand Jagger either, but I do have special kind of hots for Samwise Claflin!
