 1242 GATEWAY TO THE WEST 
SEE FIRST EPIC MOVIE TRAILER
The gateway will open next May
You probably remember that back in 2022, your trusted spy informed you that Kevin Spacey was cast in this one but was later replaced by Ray Stevenson due to sexual assault charges that  were brought against him. A year after that Spacey was proclaimed innocent and in May 2023, Stevenson died during post-production which makes this his final film appearance. After all those problems epic historical movie adventure 1242: GATEWAY TO THE WEST, a co production between Hungary and Mongolia, is ready to hit cinemas in May next year and today I have the first posters, character photos and a trailer for you. The movie, which depicts Mongolian invasion into Europe stopped by a castle in Hungary, features an ensemble international cast that includes young Jeremy Neumark Jones, Neil Stuke, Bold Choimbol, Genevieve Chenneour, next  to the well knownaction movie stars from a few decades ago Michael Ironside, Eric Roberts, David Schofield, and Ray Stevenson!
 
WHAT IS THE STORY ABOUT? 
When the Kingdom of Hungary's army was annihilated by the Mongols at the battle of Mohi, only the castle of Esztergom now stood in the Mongolians' way of invading the rest of Europe. Khan Batu (Bold Choimbol), the grandson of Genghis Khan, reaches the walls of Esztergom with his invincible troops. The castle's defenders, led by Eusebius (Jeremy Neumark Jones), the Canon of Esztergom, and a Spanish mercenary, Captain Simon (Neil Stuke), are preparing for the final battle. The sudden arrival of Cardinal Cesareani (Ray Stevenson), the Papal Legate, coinciding with the Mongol Lunar New Year celebrations and the mystical practices of Eusebius, combine to offer the defenders a small glimmer of hope.

    1. Well, he wasn't overly young even in the 80s LOL so he must be around 70 these days or even more.

  3. I agree with Angie. Even with the proof of innocence on his side, his reputation has irretrievably been tarnished.

    1. Oh, yes, some festivals were eve boycotting his new movies even though he was proclaimed innocent. It is as if he raped someone, and he did not, he just likes the seducing game.

    2. I find with the backlash on men from the feminazis these days, chivalry is also dead. Men used to run to hold the door open for me, or would offer me their seat when none other were available. Now, it's rare. They are scared of being accused of unwanted flirting or contact. Kevin is a perfect example on how one bad seed can mess up a person's reputation. Men would rather be considered rude than get accused of rapey actions.

    3. Men are scared these days, I had my share of crazy people while working as a teacher, cannot even imagine what craziness one meets when one is a star. Cavill said he has not dated in a decade because he is afraid. Of course when he said that he was immediately attacked by the feminazis.
