 NIBELUNGS:WAR OF KINGDOMS 

EPIC TV SERIES STARTS NEXT MONTH

I have to admit that the original film Hagen was almost unwatchable, but maybe the six part series based upon it will be more palatable? THE NIBELUNGS: WAR OF THE KINGDOMS is ready to hit 

New epic series starts this November

German RTL + November 6th with out dear Jannis Niewohner in the lead role. 

 

  BURGUNDIAN weapons master Hagen von Tronje (Gijs Naber) holds the crisis-ridden kingdom together with a sense of duty and iron determination. In doing so, he suppresses his secret love for the king's daughter Kriemhild (Lilja van der Zwaag) and represses his own dark past. When the famous dragon slayer Siegfried von Xanten (Jannis Niewöhner) appears in Worms and threatens the old structures with his unpredictability, Hagen increasingly becomes a tragic figure.The young King Gunter (Dominic Marcus Singer), still inexperienced due to the sudden death of his father, sees in Siegfried a chance to save the kingdom. He asks him for help in marrying the dangerous Valkyrie Brunhild (Rosalinde Mynster). When Kriemhild falls in love with Hagen's adversary Siegfried, he must choose between love and loyalty to the king. In the process, Hagen von Tronje will discover who he truly is.

The series arrives this November

DANGEROUS LIAISONS which willarrive November 6th starring Alice Englert, Nicholas Denton, Lesley Manville, and Tom Wlaschiha. New images reveal more of Lesley Manville and British singer Paloma Faith, who plays Florence de Regnier!

 

  THE NEW SERIES  

is a bold prelude of Laclos’ classic 18th century novel focusing on the origin story of how his iconic characters, the Marquise de Merteuil and the Vicomte de Valmont, met as passionate young lovers in Paris on the eve of the revolution. This modern take on a classic story takes audiences through wonder and terror, beauty and degradation, seduction and deception in pre-revolutionary Paris. Driven to right the wrongs of their past, the young couple’s survival depends on their skills of seduction and manipulation of not only the French nobility but of each other. Alice Englert and Nicholas Denton portray the notorious lovers: Camille who is taken in by the current Marquise de Merteuil (Lesley Manville) navigates her own path in a world of men, using the power of secrets to take back control, and Valmont who will stop at nothing to regain his title that was recently taken from him. Their on- again off-again love story is the heart of the series. It’s not love… it’s war. I must admit those two youngsters look terribly dull and miscast to me, no passion nor talent in them.
