 TAKE MY HAND TRAILER 

WITH ADAM DEMOS AND RADHA MITCHELL

Take My Hand is out August 29th

I am treating you today with the first trailer coming from Australia for their true story drama TAKE MY HAND which lands in cinemas August 29th! John Raftopoulos’ directorial debut stars Radha Mitchell as an accomplished Australian woman living in London who is diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at the peak of her career. After the sudden death of her husband (our boo Bart Edwards) and losing her job, she returns to Australia with her three sons before a chance reunion with a childhood sweetheart (Adam Demos) changes her life. The story is inspired by the real-life journey of Raftopoulos’ wife Claire Jensz, who is the executive producer of the film. Jake Ryan also stars.

PREMIUM SPOTLIGHT ON THE WITCHER EPIC TV SERIES SEASON 3 WHICH ARRIVES TO NETFLIX THIS MONTH WITH HENRY CAVILL

  THE WITCHER SEASON 3  

TRAILER AND AIR DATES

The Witcher is back this June

The airing dates for this one are getting closer and closer, people! Why dates in plural? Because for the first time ever Netflix has decided to split THE WITCHER into two parts, so the first batch of season three's eight episodes will stream from June 29th (five episodes) and then the other part from July 27th! And, yes, this is the last season with Henry Cavill in the lead role of Geralt the Witcher, after that season four will have Liam Hemsworth in the lead role, if they do not cancel it of course in the meantime due to the backclash from the audience who are not happy with Henry leaving and with the producers turning the

This season will have eight episodes

adaptation into a garbage. 

 

  In the upcoming season three, Geralt takes Ciri into hiding, determined to protect his newly-reunited family against those who threaten to destroy it. Entrusted with Ciri’s magical training, Yennefer leads them to the protected fortress of Aretuza, where they hope to uncover more about the girl’s untapped powers! Instead, they discover they’ve landed in a battlefield of political corruption, dark magic, and treachery. They must fight back, put everything on the line — or risk losing each other forever.

 

THE THIRD SEASON  

is also loosely based on Andrzej Sapkowski's books although fans have been angry with the producers for changing too much and rumour has it that Cavill has left the project for the same reason and for the bad writing which really has been godawful so far. Cavill now has a Warhammer series to lead and he has also been announced as the new Highlander. So is expected to lead two new epic adventure series while Netflix is left to save what is there to save from the poorly written Witcher adaptation. Joey Batey, Bard Edwards, Mimi Ndiweni, Eamon Farren, MyAnna Buring, Wilson Mbomio and Tom Canton are also set to return in Season 3. New arrivals are Robbie Amell as Gallatin, a born fighter who leads an army of guerrilla Scoia’tael fighting on behalf of Nilfgaard, and Hugh Skinner as Prince Radovid, a royal playboy and younger brother to King Vizimir. With his good looks and often drunken charm, Radovid surprises with how incisive he can be in matters of politics, but it’s all games until someone gets hurt. 

 

GEORGE MACKAY, TILDA SWINTON, STEPHEN GRAHAM TO LEAD THE END APOCALYPTIC DRAMA MOVIE! ADAM DEMOS, BART EDWARDS, RADHA MITCHELL TO LEAD TAKE MY HAND ROMANTIC MOVIE!

 GEORGE MACKAY TO LEAD 

THE END WITH TILDA SWINTON

Joshua Oppenheimer's apocalyptic new movie will have George Mackay, Stephen Graham and Tilda Swinton in the cast.  In THE END, a wealthy family survives in a palatial bunker, two decades after the world has ended. There is a mother, father, and their twenty-year-old son – he was born in the bunker and has never seen the outside world. There is a maid, with whom the son has his only honest relationship. There is also a doctor, a butler – and finally a young woman who, having barely survived, manages to find her way in. The film is a musical, and the title is THE END. Before the young woman arrives, the family celebrates their survival as confirmation of their success and righteousness, but unspoken blame over leaving loved ones behind has come between the parents, hollowing out whatever intimacy they once shared. They struggle to repress the guilt they feel for this as well as a more diffuse regret for contributing to the world’s end (The Father was an oil tycoon.) They are afraid to face their guilt, and it is this fear, more than the inhospitable conditions outside, that prevents them from leaving. Were they to leave, they’d be confronted by the truth of what they did to the world – and the fate to which they abandoned their families.

  TAKE MY HAND CASTS  

BART EDWARDS, ADAM DEMOS AND RADHA MITCHELL

Well here's a hot cast if there ever was one: our sweetest Bart Edwards, hunky Adam Demos and Radha Mitchell will lead Australian romantic drama TAKE MY HAND. Xavier Molyneux and Meg Fraser also star in the story about a vibrant young Australian woman Laura, who forges a successful banking career in London and seemingly has the perfect marriage.

Demos will be Michael, Radha Laura, and Bart Edwards her first husband

Her world is turned upside down when she is diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and her husband starts to show his true colors. When a tragic accident leaves her a widowed mother with three sons, she returns home to Australia, and is reunited with Michael, a high school friend and a divorcee with one daughter, who has loved Laura since they were teenagers.

JESSICA BROWN FINDLAY, ANTHONY WELSH TO SHARE A BED IN PARAMOUNT + TV SERIES FLATSHARE WITH BART EDWARDS, JONAH HAUER KING

 FLATSHARE SERIES CASTS 

JESSICA BROWN FINDLAY, BART EDWARDS, ANTHONY WELSH

Well, this is a quite lovely ensemble: Paramount + is adapting Beth O'Leary's FLATSHARE into a six part series and they have cast Jessica Brown Findlay and Anthony Welsh to play Tiffany and Leon, two broke twentysomethings who share a bed, despite never having met: they time-share

The series, originally meant for BBC, will be shot in six episodes

a bed as Tiffany spends her days earning minimum wage for minimum appreciation at a clickbait news website and Leon works long night shifts in a hospital. Soon they are drawn into one another’s lives, and an attraction begins to build in reverse. Our dearest Bart Edwards (Ciri's dad from The Witcher) and Jonah Hauer King will also star.

WHAT ARE OUR FAVOURITE PERIOD SET GENRE STARS DOING NEXT: BART EDWARDS, MATTHEW MCNULTY, LEX SHRAPNEL, MARK ROWLEY, MAX BENNETT?

 PERIOD SET GENRE STARS

WITCHER'S BART EDWARDS

Today we're doing a little spotlight on some of the dashing faces you've been noticing in period set shows in recent years and will probably keep up seeing them in the future as well. Since we have a talent for discovering future stars,

Bart Edwards is returning soon in Domina

here are some of them. You've probably first noticed irresistibly charming Bart Edwards two years ago in THE WITCHER but you haven't seen his face there as he was a hedgehog prince Urcheon. But you definitely did enjoy his gorgeous charms and manly charisma in SINGAPORE GRIP in which he flawlessly wore the uniform as captain Ehrendorf. When it comes to future projects, he will, believe it or not, star in both of our two most anticipated epic projects: GLOW AND DARKNESS epic TV series which will follow some of the most famous medieval heroes such as Barbarossa, Saladin, Richard the Lionheart, Eleanor of Aquitaine! Bart will be legendary knight Raynald of Chatillon! In Ancient Rome set DOMINA at Sky he will also appear as Iullus.

MILL'S MATTHEW MCNULTY

Matthew will be an emperor in Domina

We've first noticed this charming Brit in BBC's legendary series THE MILL in which he gave a deeply touching performance of a 19th century cotton mill engineer, and before that as one of the stars of JAMAICA INN 19th century mini series. After that he played Lucien Grimaud in BBC's THE MUSKETEERS series and will then return to the French court in VERSAILLES epic series as well! He also played a lieutenant in  the 19th century Arctic set THE TERROR. In the future he will join Bart Edwards in DOMINA epic saga which will follow the rise of empress Livia Drusilla. In it he will be the future emperor of Rome Gaius! Which means we will enjoy McNulty in a Roman toga! 

MEDICI'S LEX SHRAPNEL

You've seen another of our absolute fave period set genre series stars Lex Shrapnel (who is, did you know, the grandson of legendary Hollywood diva

We still fondly remember Lex from Harlots

Deborah Kerr) in SONS OF LIBERTY where he played William Dawes, and then as Biblical Jonathan in A.D. THE BIBLE CONTINUES mini series. But he definitely stole our hearts as wonderfully scheming and ultimately magnetic villain Rinaldo Albizzi in Italy's best ever historical saga MEDICI: MASTERS OF FLORENCE. After that he gave us the wonderfully good Lord James Croft, who had a soft heart (and hard something else) for male whores in Hulu's epic series HARLOTS. Believe it or not, our Lexy dearest will also appear in DOMINA in which he will be Crassus. Where are our smelling salts?

LAST KINGDOM'S MARK ROWLEY

Mark Rowley is everyone favourite Finan!

And how could we forget our favourite medieval jester and warrior Mark Rowley from THE LAST KINGDOM in which he plays Uhtred's right hand and best friend, brave and charming Finan? Before that you actually saw him in many other period set shows: in ITV's WW2 set HOME FIRES, then in MACBETH as the titular character, and then last year as Alexander from the house of Stuart in THE SPANISH PRINCESS series over at Starz where he visited the Tudor court of Henry VIII. This year we should see him next to Collin Farrell in BBC's period set series THE NORTH WATER about a 19th century whaling expedition to the Arctic.

POLDARK'S MAX BENNETT

Max will be evil Cesare Borgia in Leonardo

Although you probably remember this magnetic Londoner mostly from POLDARK in which he played the villainous Monk Adderley, Max Bennett also starred in THE DUTCHESS movie as Lord Walter, in ANNA KARENINA as Petritsky, in HOLLOW CROWN historical saga as John Talbot, then in WILL 16th century series on young Shakespeare in which he was Robert  Southwell. If you are currently missing him on the small screens, do not despair as he is returning in LEONARDO medieval drama. In  the series in which Aidan Turner plays Leonardo da Vinci, Max will be no one else but Cesare Borgia the most dangerous of all the evil Borgias!
