ROBIN HOOD TV SERIES
CONNIE NIELSEN IS ELEANOR OF AQUITAINE
After casting Jack Patten as the lead hero and Sean Bean as Sheriff of Nottingham, and rounding up cast for their new ROBIN HOOD adventure series with Lauren McQueen, Lydia Peckham, Steve Waddington, Marcus Fraser, Angus
Castle-Doughty and Henry Rowley MGM+ has added Connie Nielsen in the role of legendary queen Eleanor of Aquitaine the mother of Richard the Lionheart and prince John. One of the most powerful women in history, Eleanor is a queen, a strategist, and a force of nature. A ruler who has outmaneuvered kings and led crusades, she sees the world for what it is — a battlefield! In the series that is shooting in Serbia, after the
Norman invasion of England, Rob, a Saxon forester’s son, and Marian, the
daughter of a Norman lord, fall in love and work together to fight for
justice and freedom. As Rob rises as the leader of a band of rebel
outlaws, Marian infiltrates the power at court, as both work together to
thwart royal corruption and bring peace to the land.

Connie should be a good pick for Queen Eleanor.
ReplyDeleteI think so, she was such an interesting historical figure. Sending you healing energy, dear.
DeleteI may watch the court intrigues. Love them. Sir Robin of Locksley was hardly a forester's son. In those days, a forester was someone who lived in the forest.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if they will be shooting in some of our old castles or if they built a castle for the series.
DeleteShe is quite pretty. I think she'll make for a good queen.
ReplyDeleteShe has that cold beauty that suits Eleanor.
