MAJESTY EPIC DRAMA
FROM ITV ON QUEEN ELIZABETH I
Although the previous effort was godawful (the unwatchable Becoming Elizabeth from Starz with atrociously bad lead actress, dreary visuals and no story) we will see old Bess again on the small screens, or, to be more precise, not old but young as Grey’s Anatomy showrunners Joan Rater, Tony Phelan and William Harper are creating a six episode
historical series MAJESTY for ITV. It will present a reimagination of the life of a young Elizabeth I and her place in the court of King Henry VIII, based on conspiracy theories which surrounded her as a young woman. Was the Virgin Queen hiding a profound secret? And how did this overlooked, embattled princess become the most powerful ruler England has ever known? James Strong will be helming the drama next year with Studiocanal handling the international distribution.

I was about to say, didn't they had enough with "Becoming Elizabeth"? Queen Bess and her father are like Jane Austen, a staple of tv series and films, but they are gentting to be indigestible
ReplyDeleteIt just never ends, they will be raping them Tudors until Bess and Henry get out of their graves and start annihilating us with their zombie armies. And let us not forget Starz is also doing possibly a Serpent Reina spin off on Elizabeth, hopefully not with the godawful and vile Minnie Driver.
DeleteAnd did I tell you Majesty will be alternate history, which means lies and agendas?
DeleteIt still sounds unwatchable for me :-//
ReplyDeleteIt probably will be given that it will be alternate history which is the worst kind of any history.
DeleteYawn. Can we find someone new to focus on for a change? Surely there were plenty more noteworthy individuals throughout history that we make up stories about?
ReplyDeleteIt seems not and Bess wasn't even interesting.
