FIRST RENEGADE NELL
PICS FROM DISNEY PLUS SERIES
We have announced this one years ago and now Disney Plus has finally sent us the first images from their new eight part historical adventure series RENEGADE NELL from Happy Valley creator and scribe Sally Wainwright which should start streaming sometime in spring next year. So stay tuned, my spylings, as I will give you the first trailer for this new series as soon as we get one from Disney, probably early next year.
IN THIS NEW EPIC ADVENTURE
Louisa Harland
plays the title role of Nell, a quick-witted and courageous young woman
who finds herself framed for murder and unexpectedly becomes the most
notorious highwaywoman in 18th Century England. But when a magical
spirit called Billy Blind (Nick Mohammed) appears, Nell realises her destiny is bigger than she ever imagined.
Frank Dillane plays Nell’s fickle friend and sometime adversary Charles Devereux, a charming rogue with a dangerous, villainous alter ego. Adrian Lester plays the Earl of Poynton, a master political schemer and manipulator who joins forces against Nell with Sofia Wilmot (Alice Kremelberg), a young widow who wants power and independence at any cost.
Joely Richardson plays eccentric newspaper magnate Lady Eularia Moggerhanger, whilst Pip Torrens appears as Lord Blancheford – the father of Sofia and her feckless, bullying brother Thomas (Jake Dunn). Meanwhile,
Ényì Okoronkwo also stars as Rasselas, a spirited stable boy who
joins Nell and her sisters on the run in his own bid for freedom, with
newcomers Bo Bragason and Florence Keen as Nell’s two younger sisters Roxy and George, and Craig Parkinson as Nell’s kind-hearted father Sam.
This type of tale reeks of presentism, especially since it is made in England. I think I'll pass.
ReplyDeleteLooks cold and fugly, I do not understand the casting, almost as if they were choosing the blandest of the bland. Even that little moron from Ted Lasso. I will give it a go only for Joely Richardson, but maybe even not, depends what we will have next spring.
DeleteCostumes look great. I love it. I think We need to renew our disney+ subscribe. Happy December to you dear Dezmond. Greetings.
ReplyDeleteTo you as well, hope it will not be too cold
DeleteDisney should get a lesson from Russia here. At least the visuals would have been much better than what's been presented to us thus far. Yikes.
ReplyDeleteI have never really understood Disney and I am glad their latest animation Wish has been a flop in the cinemas.
DeleteI hadn't even heard much about Wish.
DeleteThey are probably embarrassed about it LOL
DeleteOh, I've heard that one is really bad. I'm sure they are totes embarrassed about it!
DeleteHope they fire Disney director
