THE CATALPA EXPEDITION
PERIOD SET SERIES IN WORKS
Stratton Leopold and Dax Phelan are, as Deadline reports, preparing an untitled mini series based on an infamous 19th-century prison escape known as The Catalpa Expedition.
Set in Ireland, the United States, and Australia during the 1860s and 1870s, the series will follow the real-life
plan members of the Irish Republican Brotherhood, a 19th-century group made to free six political prisoners from a British penal colony in Western Australia while aboard the whaleship, The Catalpa. The writer, poet, and journalist John Boyle O’Reilly was among the political prisoners sent to a British penal colony in Australia.

FOR NEW 17TH CENTURY DRAMA
Your trailer for today comes all the way from Brazil for their historical movie drama 1618 which will stream on Apple TV in USA from April 7th! The visitation of the Inquisition to the city of Oporto, Portugal in 1618. At the time
the entire population was exhorted to denounce heresies under pain of excommunication. In a city where a large part of the population had Jewish ancestry, over one hundred New Christians, among others, were imprisoned, causing terror in the New Christian community, mass emigration and the near total destruction of the city’s economy. Friction between Porto’s judicial authorities, which had always been on good terms with the New Christians, and the inquisitorial visitation reached such a point that guards on horseback surrounded the ecclesiastical court, preventing the “heretics” in custody from being transported to Coimbra. The Visitor even travelled to Spain to give Philip II an account of the events transpired.

Sounds interesting!
ReplyDeleteHope the cast will be amazing.
DeletePrison break in 19th-century..sounds like a really boring one LOL...seriously, are you gonna watch it?
ReplyDeleteI totally will if they set a fun cast. Admittedly, some of the previous or recent historical ship series, like Terror and Northern Way or Light, were boring as hell, but that is because the writing was terrible. The actors were amazing in both. It could be thrilling if done right as they were scaling the prison wall from the ship itself.
DeleteOh that one sounds good. I had read about it in Robert Hughes'The Fatal Shore, a seminal book about Australia as a penal colony
ReplyDeleteI loved Banished series with Russell Tovey and David Dawson, and was hoping for a second season.
DeleteI watched Banished in Hulu, but grew bored after the first episode. I think it has to do with my heart no longer in Australia I was a freak for everything from Down Under since I was a kid) but it comes in stages, just like I used to be an Irish History buff and a Western fan. But it could happen just like it’s happening to me with The English and 1883 that had me totally into the Old West again. A good Aussie series angled towards the Irish Experience could get me hooked again.
DeleteInstead of going back to Medieval times (although the Rus fascinates me, I’m looking forward to something on Emperor Paul, history has been unkind to him, but Yekaterina turned him into some sort of a hero. Ohh, they have Mars Media in YT, but so far, I’ve only found two series with English subs. Hope they bring more.
I adore Aussie series. Have you watched Lambs of God, that was one of the best mini series ever.
DeleteNo but I think it is in Roku. The last I've watched are A Place to Call Home, I reccomend it to you heartedly, and Anzac Girls. Both are top notch. I do want to see that Bazilian film
DeleteYou must watch it, it is extremely good.
DeleteI like the look and sound of all three of these!
ReplyDeleteTwas a good day in news business today :)
DeleteWell, I hope they cast some nice looking Irish and British gents for the second one. It does sound like a good one though, even if they have an ugly cast lol.
ReplyDeleteIt will probably be a lovely cast if they don't hire an American one, no offence intended.
DeleteNone taken. I'm more drawn to Irish, Aussie, and Brit men over American ones too. Not that we don't have some hidden gems among us, but sometimes I look around while I'm shopping and go, "Jesus. If an asteroid hit earth and all that was left was this supermarket, I'd be stuck trying to survive with a whole lot of overweight, hillbilly types."
DeleteIt is not, in this case, about the looks but talent, nobody acts better than the Brits and Australians, Americans are inferior in that respect. It is probably because they are schooled in theatre, doing the classics, so they learn their craft there.
