FIRST KATE WINSLET PHOTO
FROM THE PALACE TV SERIES
HBO has given us a first look at Kate Winslet in their new mini series THE PALACE which tells the story of one year within the walls of the palace of an authoritarian regime as it begins to unravel. Shooting currently in Europe, it has a cast that also includes Matthias Schoenaerts, Guillaume Gallienne, controversial Oscar cheat Andrea Riseborough, Martha Plimpton and Hugh Grant.
I like Kate Winslet and Matthias Schoenaerts is cool too.
ReplyDeleteHe is at his peak right now with Django coming up later this month.
DeleteAlthough the horror flick sound wokish, I embrace a chance to see my sweet Nick again
ReplyDeleteYeah, I don't do horrors either, but it is 1350s, so there is that.
DeleteWasn't there already a musical about Romeo and Juliet. I am thinking correctly with Claire Danes and Leo Dicaprio?
ReplyDeleteYes. this one will have a much better cast, how can Danes be Juliet and Leo Romeo? Buzz always had terrible casting sense.
DeleteI'll wait for the reviews to decide if it will be worth a watch or not. I'm not inclined towards musicals, but sometimes they draw me in.
DeleteWe shall see with the first trailer.
