A TALE OF TWO CITIES
KIT HARINGTON AND FRANCOIS CIVIL TRAILER
New series starts September 6th
BBC Oneand MGM + have issued first trailer for their TV series adaptation of Charles Dickens' A TALE OF TWO CITIES. The four parter will be set in London, 1782. Tensions run high in the war between France andBritain. A young woman, Lucie Manette (Mirren Mack)
has her life upended when she receives a message from Paris - her
father, assumed dead for almost 20 years, may be alive. The messenger,
idealistic French emigré, Charles Darnay (François Civil), is arrested and charged with treason. Lucie enlists the help of a brilliant but erratic young lawyer, Sydney Carton (Kit Harington),
to free Darnay in the hope he will lead her to Paris to track down her
father. Lucie’s collision with Darnay and Carton unleashes a powerful
and complex love triangle. Both men fight to be worthy of her love, and
Lucie is torn
over which one to choose. Yet neither man - physically so alike, spiritually poles apart - can escape the other. Instead, they find
themselves bound together in life and death, through triumphs,
tragedies, marriage, and murder. The series will arrive September 6th on MGM+.
Yes, it never would have even become a classic if Emily wasn't so good in Wuthering Heights. Such tiresome, dull, long dialogues. who even talks like that in reality?

I read the book a few decades ago...would be interested in watching this.
ReplyDeleteI read it recently, but not liking this cast at all, they are all wooden and lacking in radiance.
DeleteI also read the book decades ago. Thank you for sharing this, Dezmond. If this cast is not to your liking, then I wouldn't be interested in this.
ReplyDeleteThey are a bit bland, but I will personally give it a go as there are so few period set pieces on the telly these days.
DeleteDEZMOND, I'd like to see the film based on the Dickens' book.
ReplyDeleteIt will be the first new series of the Autumn, methinks.
DeleteUy deseo verla. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteGracias.
DeleteIt was the best of times, it was the worst of times, and still Jon Snow knows nothing
ReplyDeleteEspecially not how to act.
DeleteThe book was fine. The casting here is not. This will be a pass for me.
ReplyDeleteI did not even like the movie overly much. I am currently reading Jane Eyre for the first time ever and it is so dull and dreadfully pathetic.
DeleteYes, Jane Eyre is so slow! Not one I would ever care to read more than once.
DeleteYes, it never would have even become a classic if Emily wasn't so good in Wuthering Heights. Such tiresome, dull, long dialogues. who even talks like that in reality?
