Lindsay Shapero is writing and producing
Entertainment festival in Spain - WINTER PALACE from Swiss Radio and Television and Lindsay Shapero. The Swiss Alps, 1899. André Morel, an ambitious Swiss hotelier, has a daring vision:
a five star hotel that will stay open throughout the winter season. It’s never been
done before. Can his risky idea survive extreme weather, untrained staff and
demanding guests? This eight part series, inspired by real events, depicts the
birth of White Winter holidays. It combines a lavish period drama with compelling,
character driven stories full of hidden desires, ambition and love, alongside ashes
of modern music for a contemporary twist. Shapero previously wrote Judi Dench's Red Joan.
PERSUASION TRAILER
FOR A NEW MOVIE ADAPTATION
Netflix has finally released a trailer for the latest movie adaptation of Jane Austen's PERSUASION which will arrive to the streamer July 15th with the cast led by Dakota Johnson, Cosmo Jarvis and Henry Golding. The family of nonconforming Anne Elliott (Dakota Johnson) is on the brink of bankruptcy. After seven years of separation, Anne meets captain Frederick Wentworth (Cosmo Jarvis), with whom she once broke her engagement. Now our protagonists have a chance to reconcile. The film will also star Henry Golding who plays the Elliot family's relative and Anne's father's (RichardE. Grant) heir, Sir Walter. Check out the colourwashed trailer below and tell us what you think, are you ready for a woke Jane Austen?
Done over at Showtime, it will be based on a novel by Thomas Mallon. FELLOW TRAVELERS will be an eight part love story and political thriller, chronicling the volatile romance of two very different men who meet in the shadow of McCarthy-era Washington. Bomer will play handsome, charismatic Hawkins Fuller, who maintains a financially rewarding, behind-the scenes career in politics. Hawkins avoids emotional entanglements, until he meets Tim Laughlin, a young man brimming with idealism and religious faith. They begin a romance just as Joseph McCarthy and Roy Cohn declare war on “subversives and sexual deviants,” initiating one of the darkest periods in 20th-century American history. Over the course of four decades, Hawk and Tim cross paths through the Vietnam War protests of the 1960s, the drug-fueled disco hedonism of the 1970s and the AIDS crisis of the 1980s, while facing obstacles in the world and in themselves.

Grant also in the cast.Living with her snobby family on the brink of bankruptcy, Anne Elliot is an unconforming woman with modern sensibilities. When Frederick Wentworth - the dashing one she let get away - crashes back into her life, Anne must choose between putting the past behind her or listening to her heart when it comes to second chances! PERSUASION was the last novel that Austen managed to finish before she kicked the bucket. If you remember, Sanditon, airing currently in its second season on PBS Masterpiece with not much success, is based on an Austen book which she did not managed to finish.
