NEW FIREBRAND IMAGES
WITH JUDE LAW AND ALICIA VIKANDER IN HISTORICAL DRAMA
Not that you will recognise them, especially Jude Law (that is him in the first photo) who changed fully in order to play Henry VIII in FIREBRAND historical drama which got standing ovations last night at Cannes, but
everything gets ovations there, some other first review describe the film as empty and lacking in fire. Beside looking not as handsome as he normally 
does, Jude revealed that during the filming he also wore a specially-made perfume, to get into character, made out of 'blood, fecal matter and sweat'! 
Poor Alicia Vikander, who plays his last wife Catherine Parr in it.. Patsy Ferran portrays princess Mary and Junia Rees portrays Elizabeth. Erin 
Doherty portrays radical preacher Anne Askew, who was labelled a heretic by Henry and his supporters, while Sam Riley and Eddie Marsan play brothers Thomas and Edward Seymour, who were senior courtiers.

Catherine Parr, the final wife of Henry VIII, a feminist force to be
reckoned with who outlived the notorious king; the fate of his previous
wives being 
either divorced, dead or beheaded. She is named regent with
the king warring abroad, and she’s done everything she can to push for a
new future based on her radical Protestant beliefs. Law plays a royal
on his way out, having 
returned from fighting with a dire medical
condition. Palace intrigue abounds entailing Henry squaring off with the
Seymours brothers, one of them having their eye on Catherine, and the
king ultimately fading.

Couldn't recognise Jude Law at all..a perfume smelling like 'blood, fecal matter and sweat' doesn't sound too appealing to me LOL
ReplyDeleteThey have totally changed him for this one, not just the body but the face and hair too. Alicia also looks different in most of the photos. I bet Jude's perfume still smells better than Gwyneth's that smells as she says like her kagina LOL What a nasty creature she is.
DeleteJude Law and Alicia Vikander are decent actors but there has been something of a surfeit of Tudor dramas in recent years.
ReplyDeleteI have read somewhere that when a writer comes to a studio or a producer with a script about some monarch that has not been used so much in the films, they will tell them "Oh, that is all nice and lovely, but do you have something on Tudors?"
DeleteBeautiful costumes!
ReplyDeleteTudors had a knack for good fashion!
DeleteOoof, I would not want to have to act across from that perfume stench! I like it when an actor changes looks for a role. Keeps them fresh, imo. But not Jude's perfume fresh LOL.
ReplyDeleteWe have heard the movie changes history a lot and pushes feminist agenda in hilarious ways.
