'THE CROWN' EPIC SAGA
GETS NEW POSTER & TRAILER
In the trailer department, a long new one has been released for Netflix $100 million expensive ten part drama THE CROWN which will follow the life of the current Queen Elizabeth II from the moment she stepped on the throne. Arriving this November it will depict her marriage with Prince Phillip played by Matt Smith and her relationship with many politicians including Winston Churchill played by John Lithgow. Claire Foy plays the lead role in the first season set in the 1950's at the beginning of Elizabeth's rule. Oscar winner Stephen Daldry directs.
I'm sure you've already heard it by now since it's been the movie news of the day: Emma Stone will lead Disney's live action CRUELLA movie! She will play the legendary villain in the new story on the famous Cruella De Vil from 101 DALMATIANS who was previously played by Glenn Close which means this rendition would see her much younger, kinda like Angelina Jolie was in MALEFICENT which means it will be an origin story!
As I've informed you before, beside MALEFICENT, SNOWWHITE and
CINDERELLA which already have their new versions, JUNGLE BOOK, DUMBO, MULAN and TINKERBELL are also getting new live action versions. PETE'S DRAGON and BEAUTY AND THE BEAST are already done.
