Something that will truly keep you captivated and mesmerized is almost mind blowingly stunning trailer for the magnificent Chinese epic fantasy fairy tale movie ZHOG KUI: SNOW GIRL AND THE DARK CRYSTAL which is currently earning big money in Chinese cinemas around their New Year's Holidays bringing some of the most luxurious and creative visuals, costumes and sets we've ever seen on the big screens!

'DEADLINE GALLIPOLI' TRAILER
1ST CASUALTY OF WAR IS TRUTH
A week or two ago I introduced you to new Australian historical TV series GALLIPOLI on the famous World War One battle, but there is also another project being prepared on the same subject. DEADLINE GALLIPOLI has a much more star studded cast lead by Sam Worthington, Hugh Dancy, Charles Dance, Rachel Griffitths and Bryan Brown! To air Down Under this April in four episodes the four-part series explores the Gallipoli Campaign legend from the point of view of war correspondents who lived through the campaign and bore witness to the extraordinary events that unfolded on the shores of Gallipoli in 1915. These were the first truly embedded war correspondents whose defiance ignited a change in the campaign’s course and whose commitment to the stories of the men turned the war from a strategic failure into a triumph of the human spirit.

'SUPER CLYDE' SITCOM PILOT

Not much to tell you today, people, it's been a very slow beginning of the week in the movie news business, so only some TV news to pass the time: CBS has found the lead for their new sitcom SUPER CLYDE in Charlie McDermott! He will play the title character, a meek, unassuming fast-food worker who finds his calling.The project was done as a pilot in 2013 too with Rupert Grint and Stephen Fry but didn't get through since CBS opted for the godawful THE MILLERS.

Over at BBC, popular writer Nick Hornby will pen their five episode half hour series LOVE, NINA an adaptation of Nina Stibbe’s bestselling book about a 19-year-old girl, who leaves Leicester to work as a nanny in London.



'GALLIPOLI' EPIC SERIES
 NEW CHARACTER POSTERS
And here's something coming all the way from Down Under: first character posters and trailer for new historical television series GALLIPOLI which started airing a few weeks ago its seven episodes on the Australian Nine Network marking the 100th anniversary of the GALLIPOLI Campaign. The series  is adapted from the best-selling book 'Gallipoli' by Les Carlyon.
 THE LEGEND OF ANZAC
 The series centres on 17-year-old Thomas "Tolly" Johnson (Kodi Smit McPhee) who puts his age up so he can enlist with his brother Bevan (Harry Greenwood) and ends up fighting at GALLIPOLI in the campaign that helped create the Anzac legend. The story depicts the ten month campaign in Turkey, highlighting the landing on 25 April 1915 by ANZAC troops who go into battle on the GALLIPOLI Peninsula. Landing in the dark, Tolly, Bevan and their fellow soldiers endeavour to establish a defensible foothold beneath the treacherous slopes of the peninsula. The series follows both the battle and its aftermath. The soldiers spend eight months learning combat skills while trying to survive in the most difficult of circumstances. By the time of their final evacuation they have learnt much about themselves and their mates. James Callis and Grant Bowler also star.
