 'BEOWULF: RETURN TO THE SHIELDLANDS' EPIC TV SERIES

Continuing our period set projects  weekend, check out the first teaser trailer for ITV's new epic fantasy series BEOWULF: RETURN TO THE SHIELD- LANDS which should air some time early next year in thirteen episodes starring DA VINCI'S DEMONS' Kieran Bew in the lead role!

With the story set in the mythical Shieldlands, a place of spectacle and danger populated by both humans and fantastical creatures, Kieran Bew plays one of literature’s greatest and most enduring heroes, Beowulf. Ed Speleers (ERAGON, DOWNTON ABBEY) plays Slean and Laura Donnelly takes is Elvina.
KIERAN BEW & ED SPELEERS
BEOWULF is a series about courage, greed, betrayal, revenge, loyalty, power, man versus wilderness and, of course love. It is a series that explores the notion of good and evil, heroes and villains. However, beyond these wider political undercurrents and inner personal turmoils are the excitement, danger and sense of adventure that any great Western has. Epic fights, thrilling chases, raids, celebrations and battles are an essential part of the promise. The cast also includes William Hurt, Joanne Whalley, David Harewood, Elliott Cowan, Joe Sims, David Bradley, Emmett Scanlan and others.

EPIC TV SERIES CAST PHOTOS

Sorry for not posting last night, people, there was a sabotage on our power lines in the spy's headquarters! Not that you missed much, the last two days were rather bland in movie news business. But I have first photos from ITV's upcoming new epic show JEKYLL AND HYDE in which Tom Bateman plays Robert Jekyll, Richard E Grant is Bulstrode who heads the secret government department MI0 known as ‘The Invisible Men’ and Natalie Gumede is Bella who forms part of a love triangle with Robert.

Jekyll transforms into superhero Hyde in moments of extreme anger, stress and when his or the lives of others are threatened.

SECOND 'PAN' EPIC TRAILER

WITH HUGH JACKMAN!

The second trailer has been released for long delayed fantasy adventure PAN which is to finally hit theatres this October following Peter (Levi Miller) is a mischievous 12-year-old boy with an irrepressible rebellious streak, but in the bleak London orphanage where he has lived his whole life those qualities do not exactly fly. Then one incredible night, Peter is whisked away from the orphanage and spirited off to a fantastical world of pirates, warriors and fairies called Neverland. There, he finds amazing adventures and fights life-or-death battles while trying to uncover the secret of his mother, who left him at the orphanage so long ago, and his rightful place in this magical land. Teamed with the warrior Tiger Lily (Rooney Mara) and a new friend named James Hook (Garrett Hedlund), Peter must defeat the ruthless pirate Blackbeard (Hugh Jackman) to save Neverland and discover his true destiny - to become the hero who will forever be known as Peter Pan.

TOM BATEMAN, RICHARD E. GRANT LEAD 'JEKYLL & HYDE' EPIC TV DRAMA! BIZARRE 'VOICES' TRAILER WITH RYAN REYNOLDS! MATT BOMER IN 'MONTGOMERY CLIFT' HBO BIOPIC

'JEKYLL & HYDE' TV SERIES

TOM BATEMAN AND RICHARD E. GRANT LEADING THE CAST

A few months ago I've told you that British ITV is planning a new JEKYLL AND HYDE TV series and now the cast has been officially announced: the ten episode adventure drama will star Tom Bateman (Da Vinci's Demons), Richard E. Grant and Natalie Gumede. In the series set in 1930s London and focusing on the grandson of the doctor featured in the classic story, Bateman will portray the role of Robert Jekyll, Grant will play Sir Roger Bulstrode who heads the secret government department M10, and Gumede will star as Bella who is in a love triangle with them. Dr Jekyll is a young, sensitive and naïve man of intellect and morality, well meaning and somewhat repressed. He transforms into Hyde in moments of extreme anger, stress and when his or the lives of others are threatened. And Hyde is a totally different person: a superhero with super powers, great strength, speed and invulnerability. He is confident, and risk-taking.

MATT BOMER TO LEAD

'MONTY CLIFT' HBO TV BIOPIC
In other television news, 'Deadline' reports that Matt Bomer will headline HBO's new biopic on MONTGOMERY CLIFT reteaming with the channel after receiving Emmy and Globe nomination for the role in THE NORMAL HEART. At his prime, Clift rivalled Marlon Brando and James Dean as Hollywood’s biggest male stars! Clift also was the first Hollywood actor to refuse to sign a studio contract, choosing independence instead. His matinee idol good looks were destroyed by a devastating car accident that left him with a broken nose and partially paralysed face. Though he continued to make movies, the accident haunted him until his death, even though he received an Oscar nomination, his fourth, for one of his last performances in 'Judgment At Nuremberg'. He also struggled with his sexual orientation and resorted to alcohol and drug addition following the accident.

As the new guy at work, Jerry is asked to help plan the company picnic, and he meets Fiona, an attractive English girl from accounting. Jerry immediately takes a liking to Fiona and excitedly goes home to tell his pets about her. And surprisingly, they answer. But all this is just the beginning of an insanely bizarre and twisted tale.
