 A STORY SPANNING CENTURIES

Hailed as probably most expensive French movie of the year, it has the story set in the 15th century, following Prince Vladimir who blasphemes and denies God after the death of his beloved wife. He becomes a vampire, condemned to wander the centuries. When, 400 years later, he meets a young woman who bears an uncanny resemblance to his dead wife, he's ready to do anything to win her over. The story spans centuries exploring the curse of immortality. 

 

NICHOLAS HOULT IS DRACULA'S CRAZY HENCHMAN RENFIELD IN UNIVERSAL'S NEW MOVIE! CHEVALIER DE SAINT GEORGES PERIOD SET DRAMA FINDS ITS MARIE ANTOINETTE IN LUCY BOYNTON

   NICHOLAS HOULT TO PLAY  

DRACULA'S HELPER RENFIELD

Nicholas Hoult will be Renfield!

It will be Universal's new epic movie on Dracula's favourite henchman RENFIELD with Chris McKay directing and Nicholas Hoult taking the lead role. In the original Dracula novel, R.M. Renfield was an inmate at a lunatic asylum who was thought to be suffering from delusions but actually is a servant of Dracula. The sad news is that it seems the story will be set in the present times, so it won't be a costume drama. Beside this one, Universal studio also has Wolfman with Ryan Gosling and Van Helsing movies in preparation within their Monster Universe movie series which hasn't been overly successful so far.

 

CHEVALIER DE SAINT GEORGES

FINDS ITS MARIE ANTOINETTE

Lucy Boynton will play the French queen

After casting Samara Weaving as a female opera singer last month, new period set movie CHEVALIER DE SAINT GEORGES has cast the queen of France Marie Antoinette who will be played by Lucy Boynton. The lead role goes to Kelvin Harrison Jr. who will play the title character:  Born in 1745 in the French Caribbean, de Saint Georges was the illegitimate son of an African slave and a French plantation owner. He rose to improbable heights in French society, dazzling as both a violinist and composer and a champion fencer. An ill-fated love affair with a French noblewoman and a falling out with Marie Antoinette and her court led to his untimely downfall. Stephen Williams is directing the costume drama movie.

Strange events befall the doomed crew as they attempt to survive the ocean voyage, stalked each night by a merciless presence onboard the ship. When the Demeter finally arrives off the shores of England, it is a charred, derelict wreck. There is no trace of the crew.

  FIRE: NO ESCAPES MOVIE 

SUPER THRILLING TRAILER

Fire is available around the world from this week

You can also check out a very thrilling trailer for Russian disaster movie FIRE aka NO ESCAPES aka OGON, which played in Russian cinemas last Christmas, but is available everywhere around the world from this week. Konstantin Khabenskiy, Roman Kurtsyn, Andrey Smolyakov and Irina Gorbacheva are leading the cast. It is a heroic story about firefighters and rescuers. What we call an act of bravery is just a usual routine for them, if only one can get used to mortal danger and extreme risk. When people in distress seem to have nobody who may help them, rescuers come to fight against merciless forces of nature.

The film was directed by Alexey Nuzhny

Given it aired during covid pandemics, the film has earned a rather nice sum of almost $15 million in cinemas around the world. Check out the exciting action packed trailer for the disaster movie below and tell us what you think:
