TV SERIES ADAPTATION OF WILLIAM DALRYMPLE'S MUGHAL EMPIRE NOVEL THE ANARCHY FINDS A SCRIBE! SEE POSTERS FOR PERIOD SET MOVIES SULIS 1907 FROM NORWAY, SHANGHAI SOJOURNERS FROM CHINA

 DALRYMPLE'S THE ANARCHY 
FINDS WRITER FOR AN EPIC TV SERIES ADAPTATION
Just when we thought this project that I announced three years ago is no longer active, Wiip and Roy Kapur Films have revealed that The Last
Jeremy Brock will pen the adaptation
King of Scotland and Mrs. Brown scribe Jeremy Brock will pen the TV series adaptation of William Dalrymple's bestseller THE ANARCHY! The massive production to be shot in UK, USA and India will tell  the story of how one of the world’s most magnificent empires, the Mughal empire, disintegrated and came to be replaced by the British East India Company – a dangerously unregulated private company based thousands of miles away in a small London office just five windows wide. No news on the adaptation of Dalrymple's Koh-I-Noor book which was also announced three years ago.

 PERIOD SET MOVIE POSTERS 
FOR NORDIC SULIS 19O7
We are in the international waters today, spylings, as I have posters to present from two new period set movies. First up is SULIS 1907 from Norway, a historical drama scheduled for release October 6th. Directed by Nils Gaup and starring Otto Fahlgren, Simon J. Berger, Alexandra Gjerpen, Anders Dahlberg and Rune Temte, this period set movie starts in 1907, when the miners in Sulitjelma in Fauske in Nordland made a famous rebellion against greedy mine owners. 
 
CHINA'S SHANGHAI SOJOURNERS 
Shanghai Sojourners is in postproduction
is, meanwhile, currently in the process of post-production over in China under the helm of Leo Shi Young. It stars Xingtong Yao as a Chinese-American woman who falls in love with a Jewish exile in Japanese controlled Shanghai during World War II and must use every resource at her disposal to help him escape before the Nazis implement the Final Solution in China. Michael Koltes, Ketih Shillitoe and Thomas Dorn also star. Since it is a co-production with United States of America, the movie was shot in English.

  1. The Chinese production sounds very interesting. Would like to see what the Chinese angle is on the subject.

    1. That was my thought as well, and after Germinal it will be interesting to see how the Nordic people solved their mine issues.
