SEE JUDE LAW AND ALICIA VIKANDER AS HENRY VIII AND HIS LAST WIFE IN FIREBRAND HISTORICAL MOVIE TRAILER

   FIREBRAND TRAILER  
WITH JUDE LAW AND ALICIA VIKANDER
Well, this one is finally coming to the cinemas June 14th so we have received the first trailer for FIREBRAND historical movie drama with Jude Law as King Henry VIII and Alicia Vikander as his last wife Katherine Parr. The film that also stars Amr Waked, Eddie Marsan, Simon Russell Beale, Sam Riley and Patsy Ferran, did not receive well criticism after it's festival run, but we will judge for ourselves. Check out the trailer below and tell us what you think, is it lacking in fire and spark like the critics say? The film did have a rather long way to theatres from changing the lead actress to changing the title.
 
IN BLOOD SOAKED TUDOR ENGLAND
twice married, accomplished, and educated Katherine Parr (Vikander), reluctantly agrees to become the sixth wife of the tyrannical King Henry VIII (Law). Her consent to marry him carries great personal risk, given that her predecessors are either vanquished, beheaded, or dead. When Henry appoints her as Regent, the nation’s ruler during his absence when he departs to fight overseas, he lays a dangerous path for her. Henry’s courtiers, suspecting she’s sympathetic to radical Protestant beliefs that have taken root in the kingdom and are a threat to their power, scheme against her and cast doubts upon her fidelity to the increasingly ailing and paranoid King. Once Henry returns to England, his courtiers convince him to turn his fury on the nation’s radicals, including Katherine’s childhood friend Anne Askew, who becomes one of the scores of people convicted of treason and burned at the stake. Horrified and privately grieving, Katherine finds herself under ever-increasing scrutiny and suspicion. Knowing that even a whisper of scandal might lead to her downfall, Katherine must unleash her own scheme to fight for survival.

FELICITY JONES TO LEAD 'SWAN LAKE' FAIRY TALE MOVIE ADAPTATION! NEW 'GEOSTORM' TRAILER WITH GERARD BUTLER, JIM STURGESS, DANIEL WU, ED HARRIS

FELICITY JONES TO LEAD
'SWAN LAKE' MOVIE ADAPTATION
Here's a fairy tale for you at the end of the week: 'Variety' reports that Luca Guadagnino (A Bigger Splash) will turn famous SWAN LAKE
Felicity Jones will turn into a swan
tale, upon which the famous classic ballet was based, into a big screen movie! And he already found his lead: apparently Felicity Jones is already attached to star, moving from Star Wars to a more refined setting.
A bidding war has, allegedly, started among several major studios a few days ago when the project was brought onto the market. The story of SWAN LAKE follows Odette, a princess that is turned into a swan by an evil sorcerer’s curse and that plot is the basis of a movie which is viewed as a possible tentpole project and which won't, actually, have any ballet in itself.

NEW 'GEOSTORM' TRAILER
WILL COOL YOU DOWN!
Meanwhile, a crazy new trailer has been released for Gerard Butler's action movie GEOSTORM which hits cinemas this October directed by Dean Devlin! The cast also includes Abbie Cornish, Daniel Wu, Jim Sturgess, Ed Harris, Amr Waked and Andy Garcia.
When the network of satellites designed to control the global climate start to attack Earth, it's a race against the clock to uncover the real threat before a worldwide GEOSTORM wipes out everything and everyone.
