'WILD NIGHTS WITH EMILY' 

DICKINSON WAS A LESBIAN!

Wild Nights with Emily hits cinemas next month

Speaking of period set projects, check out the terrible, but also fun, looking uber cheap trailer for WILD NIGHTS WITH EMILY a costume comedy drama in which Molly Shannon plays famous poet Emily Dickinson in the lesbifriendly version of her life because the movie  is a dramatisation of the little known side of the writer Emily Dickinson's life, in particular her relationship with another woman. As the trailer says, she was one step ahead of her time, but men refused to follow her. This delightful silliness will be touring movie festivals throughout spring and summer around Europe and the states, with the limited Northern American release in April.

DEV PATEL JOINS MEDIAEVAL EPIC ADVENTURE ON ARTHURIAN LEGEND OF SIR GAWAIN AND THE GREEN KNIGHT! ALEX SAWYER JOINS HARLOTS 18TH CENTURY SERIES SEASON 3! NEW TOLKIEN TRAILER WITH NICHOLAS HOULT, LILY COLLINS, DEREK JACOBI

DEV PATEL JOINS

GREEN KNIGHT EPIC MOVIE

It is not known whom will Dev exactly play

I'm sure it's the last place you'd expect to see him, but period set projects are exactly where they've been putting him lately. After starring in the latest movie adaptation of David Copperfield, Dev Patel has now been cast in mediaeval epic movie GREEN KNIGHT based on the legend of Sir Gawain and the said Green Knight. David Lowery is directing one of the most famous tales from early English literature. The story follows chivalrous and loyal Sir Gawain, a knight of King Arthur’s Round Table, who accepts the challenge of beheading the Green Knight and must wait a year and a day to receive a blow in return. In the end, his quest turns into a test of loyalty to his king.

CASTS ALEX SAWYER AS A BOXER

We don't exactly know what will happen in the third season of Hulu's period set saga HARLOTS after one of the lead characters has been shipped off to

Alex Sawyer is joining the third season of Harlots

America and the other one to the loony house, but we know that Alex Sawyer has just been cast in the series set in the18th century Georgian London and following the fortunes of two clans of whores who lead their brothels. Sawyer will be Jack Lively, the star of North’s boxing-tour. He was a dolly-boy in a rich man’s house until he was thirteen, acting as a playmate for a white family’s children. Ever since, Jack’s gone from job to job, that is until North (Danny Sapani) spotted his fighting potential. Jack has a deep understanding of society types, and of how they treat people like him as an outsider. He is highly educated and politically motivated, more likely to respond to racism with an erudite come-back than to resort to his prize winning fists. Jack Lively becomes a steadfast ally to North, embracing his coaching, and all that London has to offer. It is expected that Jessica Brown Findlay and Lyv Tyler will return to the series.
