CHRIS PINE TO PLAY ROBERT THE BRUCE IN 'OUTLAW KING' SCOTTISH EPIC! GLEN COOK'S 'THE BLACK COMPANY' SAGA TO BECOME EPIC FANTASY TV SERIES! 'THE EXCEPTION' TRAILER WITH JAI COURTNEY, CHRISTOPHER PLUMMER

CHRIS PINE IS 'OUTLAW KING'

ROBERT THE BRUCE EPIC

Now here's something wonderfully epic for you today: as 'Deadline' writes, a new Robert the Bruce epic movie is planned in Hollywood and Chris Pine is to wear the Scottish kilt! Netflix is to shoot OUTLAW KING epic period drama that will tell a different version than Braveheart did on Robert The Bruce, the king who led his country to freedom from the oppressive rule of England in Scotland. Ben Foster (who proved to be a very bad choice for epic roles with his under whelming performance in Warcraft) is apparently in talks to play James Douglas, the Scottish knight who became the king’s chief adviser. Beside depicting his efforts to gather the forces against Edward II, the movie will have a love story as well between him and his queen Elizabeth de Burgh who gave him strength to push out the English army.

'THE BLACK COMPANY' 

EPIC FANTASY TV SERIES

If you wondered what is David Goyer up to after Da Vinci's Demons, he is to executive produce a TV series out of epic fantasy novel saga THE BLACK COMPANY from Glen Cook with Eliza Dushku expected to play the dark sorceress The Lady, as 'Deadline' reports.

The ten book saga follows THE BLACK COMPANY, an elite mercenary unit that carries out the often nefarious deeds of the highest bidder across a Tolkienesque landscape. When these hard bitten men discover the prophecy that the embodiment of good has been reborn, they must re-examine their loyalties. The Lady, who rules over the Northern Empire, uses the Black Company to further her domination of a power structure rife with usurpers.

  'POLDARK' SEASON 3 CASTS

DEMELZA'S BROTHERS & COUSIN

While the second season of BBC's super popular period set series POLDARK is airing on Sunday evenings, the third season is already shooting in UK and they have new cast additions: Harry Richardson and Tom York will play Demelza's (Eleanor Tomlinson) brothers, while Ellise Chappel will be her cousin.

Her cousin Morwenna will work as a governess at George Warleggan's estate to help her sisters and her mother, but will find out that there may be more important things in life than a sense of duty. Harry Richardson, who was positively delightful this winter in Doctor Thorne, is her brother Drake, a good natured free-spirit who is searching for his own place in the world and is unwilling to settle for anything, especially when it comes to his romantic life. Tom York, whom we watched in SyFy's godawful crap of a show Olympus is Demelza's other brother Sam, who wants to follow in his father's footsteps and spread the word of the Methodists. Only, it may prove a little hard to stick by his convictions when his own brother falls so easily into the way of temptation.
