MARY AND GEORGE SERIES
SEE NEW ROYAL POSTERS
First teaser has been released for new historical mini series MARY AND GEORGE with Julianne Moore, Nicholas Galitzine and Tony Curran
in the lead roles a few months ago and today you can also feast your eyes on the first character posters with all three of them. Previously made for AMC,
the series has later on for some reason moved over to the popular home of historical dramas Starz,and will also air in Europe on Sky in a few months, so there is some fun and court shenanigans to await this spring! I mean who does not like horny kings and greedy aristocrats scheming against each other to the delight of plebs? Moore plays Mary Villiers who moulded her
beautiful and charismatic son, George, to seduce King James I and become
his all-powerful lover. Also in the cast of the seven episode series based on Benjamin Wolley's book The King's Assassin, are our most favourite boy Laurie Davidson as Robert Carr, 1st Earl of
Somerset, Nicola Walker as Lady Hatton, Niamh Algar as Sandie, Trine Dyrholm as Queen Anne, Sean Gilder as Sir Thomas Compton and Simon Russell Beale
as Sir George Villiers.

IN THE COSTUME SERIES
that begun shooting at the beginning of 2023, Moore plays Mary Villiers,
Countess
of Buckingham, who in 17th Century England moulded her beautiful son,
George, to seduce King James I and become his all-powerful lover.
Through outrageous scheming, the pair rose from humble beginnings
to become one of the richest, most titled, and influential mother and sons
England had ever seen. And with England’s place on the world stage under threat from a Spanish invasion and rioters taking to the streets to denounce the King, the stakes could not have been higher. Sky will air the series in Europe, while Starz will cover the rest of the world. I am hoping we will get a longer official trailer soon when Starz reveals the official start date of the new series which will be sometime this spring. But until then beside the new posters you can also check out below the above mentioned first teaser released earlier this winter which gives us a peak into the English court filled with delightful orgies and other royal escapades of the fun kind.

I love and adore Julianne Moore. She is one of the best actresses of the middle generation in world cinema. What's more, it's exceptionally beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how she will fit into this one given that she is very American, both the looks and accent.
DeleteShe managed a good accent in An Ideal Husband. I'm very much into the later Stuarts now (watching Charles II with Rufus Sewell) so I'm glad we get to know a little about King James. And Buckingham has been a favorite of mine since I read The Three Musketeers.
DeleteSounds like a fun bunch.
DeleteI agree that even though she's American, she's one of the few that has the range to pull it off. I quite like her and hope this one is successful.
ReplyDeleteWe shall see if she can, I am looking forward to seeing it, especially my boo Laurie in it.
