TRAILER AND AIR DATE FOR KIT HARINGTON AND FRANCOIS CIVIL A TALE OF TWO CITIES DICKENSIAN TV SERIES ADAPTATION FROM BBC AND MGM+

  A TALE OF TWO CITIES 

KIT HARINGTON AND FRANCOIS CIVIL TRAILER

New series starts September 6th

BBC One and MGM + have issued first trailer for their TV series adaptation of Charles Dickens' A TALE OF TWO CITIES. The four parter will be set in London, 1782. Tensions run high in the war between France andBritain. A young woman, Lucie Manette (Mirren Mack) has her life upended when she receives a message from Paris - her father, assumed dead for almost 20 years, may be alive. The messenger, idealistic French emigré, Charles Darnay (François Civil), is arrested and charged with treason. Lucie enlists the help of a brilliant but erratic young lawyer, Sydney Carton (Kit Harington), to free Darnay in the hope he will lead her to Paris to track down her father. Lucie’s collision with Darnay and Carton unleashes a powerful and complex love triangle. Both men fight to be worthy of her love, and Lucie is torn over which one to choose. Yet neither man - physically so alike, spiritually poles apart - can escape the other. Instead, they find themselves bound together in life and death, through triumphs, tragedies, marriage, and murder. The series will arrive September 6th on MGM+.

THEO CHRISTINE, VINCENT CASSEL, FRANCOIS CIVIL, OMAR SY TO LEAD EPIC MOVIE ON ALEXANDRE DUMAS' FATHER DUMAS: BLACK DEVIL, AN 18TH CENTURY BLACK FRENCH GENERAL

  DUMAS: BLACK DEVIL  

MOVIE ON 18TH CENTURY BLACK GENERAL

Coming from director Ladj Ly and Pathe, who scored huge success with movie versions of Alexandre Duma's Musketeers and Count of Monte Cristo, is a film on his father DUMAS: BLACK DEVIL which will also be an expensive, big budget historical epic. It has been announced today that Theo Christine, Vincent Cassel, Omar Sy and François Civil will lead the cast of 2027. movie. Thomas Alexandre Davy de la Pailleterie Dumas, was born a Caribbean slave in 1762 and beat the odds by rising through the ranks to become a revolutionary French general. The son of a nobleman, Marquis Alexandre Antoine Davy de la Pailleterie, and an African slave, Marie-Cessette Dumas, he became the first and highest ranking Black leader in the French military and served under Napoleon Bonaparte. But despite his many exploits, which earned him the nickname of “Black Devil,” his role in the French Revolution was underplayed and he was even denied a full pension and legion of honor by Bonaparte. Although he was not even 4 years old when his father died of stomach cancer, Alexandre Dumas cherished his legacy.

The first part is out April in cinemas

of the planned duology THE THREE MUSKE- TEERS: D'ARTAGNAN and then the second part -  THE THREE MUSKE- TEERS: MILADY will arrive in December this year, Pathe has meanwhile released the magnificent character posters to wet our appetites! Beside that, together with Disney Plus they are also making two spin off TV series MILADY: ORIGINS which will follow the beginnings of the elegant villainess and BLACK MUSKETEER which I announced a few years ago. To be shot in French, the series will build on the experience gathered making the $80 million worth historical adventure movie saga based on Alexandre Dumas' work. First film D'Artagnan is out April 5th, the second December 13th! The film hits Russia April 6th, and parts of South America and Europe from April 13th! Both films were shot back to back! The same team is also preparing Count Monte Cristo movie with Pierre Niney in the lead role.

 

  3 MUSKETEERS: D'ARTAGNAN
will follow D'Artagnan (Francois Civil), a spirited young Gascon, who is left for dead after trying to save a young woman from being kidnapped. When he arrives in Paris, he tries by all means to find his attackers. He is unaware that his quest will lead him to the heart of a real war where the future of France is at stake. Allied with Athos (Vincent Cassel), Porthos (Pio Marmai), and Aramis (Romain Duris), three musketeers of the King (Louis Garrel) with a dangerous temerity, D'Artagnan faces the dark machinations of the Cardinal of Richelieu (Eric Ruf). But it is when he falls madly in love with Constance Bonacieux (Lyna Khoudri), the Queen's (ghastly dull Vicky Krieps) confidante, that d'Artagnan truly puts himself in danger. For it is this passion that leads him into the wake of the one who becomes his mortal enemy: Milady de Winter (bizarrely grotesque Eva Green). Jacob Fortune-Lloyd stars as Duke of Buckingham! This new adaptation of Alexandre Dumas' 1844 novel will introduce a new character, Hannibal, based on the true story of Louis Anniaba, the first Black musketeer in French history. He is played by Ralph Amoussou!

  MR. MALCOLM'S LIST  

FIRST LAVISH MOVIE PHOTOS

If you are, on the other hand, in the mood for something woke, a chokywoky delight with a large pinch of historical revision awaits you in the first photos from MR. MALCOLM'S LIST period set costume drama movie! This Regency era drama, directed by Emma Holly Jones, sees Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù portraying the titular hero. In the film, which you can get an exclusive first look today in the photos from Vanity Fair, Dìrísù plays the dashing Mr. Malcolm, a wealthy and elegant suitor looking for a bride who meets all the qualifications he has on his list. Freida Pinto plays Selina Dalton, a woman who helps her friend Julia Thistlewaite (Zawe Ashton) get revenge on Mr. Malcolm after he rejects her for falling short of his lofty criteria. The film, which arrives to theatres July 12st this summer, is based on the book of the same name by Suzanne Allain and the cast is rounded out by Oliver Jackson-Cohen as the sociable Lord Cassidy; Ashley Park as the bubbly Gertie Covington, and Theo James as the debonair Captain Henry Ossory! The book previously had a short movie adaptation with more or less the same actors. Stay tuned for the first trailer which should come soon, methinks.
