| The series is hitting small screens this month |
year directed by Palme d'Or and Oscar winner Bille August who shot it in France, Italy and Malta where they actually used the very same castle that was
mentioned in Alexandre Dumas' book on which the series is based. Our dearest Sam Claflin has recently signed with a new agency in Hollywood, so
let us hope it means more of him on our screens, but next year we will also watch him in Harlan Coben's series Lazarus at Prime Video and possibly also in Barbaric epic TV series over at Netflix if it gets finished.
THIS EIGHT PART EPIC SERIES
sees
Sam Claflin playing Edmond Dantes, whose future looks bright: he has
just become a ship captain and is preparing to marry the love of his
life, the
beautiful Mercedes. However, he does not even suspect that he
has enemies who, out of envy, are going to plot against him. Edmond is
unfairly accused of 
Bonapartism and sent to the Chateau d'If prison
without trial. After ten years in prison, Edmond loses all hope of
salvation, but suddenly meets another
prisoner - Abbe Faria, who had
been digging an escape tunnel for many years, but mistakenly ended up in
Dantes' cell. The new comrade tells Edmond about 
the treasures that are
located outside the castle, but soon dies, and Dantes escapes alone.
Now he is the mysterious Count of Monte Cristo, who intends to take
revenge on those who destroyed his life.

ReplyDeleteI don't really see the resemblance.
DeleteAre you 100% sure about the BBC? I've not been able to find out anything about the UK release.
ReplyDeleteAbout a year or so ago they said BBC bought it, but we haven't heard anything about it after that, so fingers crossed that the deal is still on.
DeleteAh, okay, thanks.
DeleteFingers crossed for more Sam in the future! We haven’t seem him much the last 2 years or so, so let us hope this new agency brings him lots of good roles.
ReplyDeleteWe need him in big lead roles.
