IT IS NOT EASY LIVING IN 18TH CENTURY ENGLAND IN DISNEY PLUS PERIOD SET SERIES RENEGADE NELL! SEE FIRST IMAGES AND AIR DATE

  FIRST RENEGADE NELL  
PICS FROM DISNEY PLUS SERIES
We have announced this one years ago and now Disney Plus has finally sent us the first images from their new eight part historical adventure series RENEGADE NELL from Happy Valley creator and scribe Sally Wainwright which should start streaming sometime in spring next year. So stay tuned, my spylings, as I will give you the first trailer for this new series as soon as we get one from Disney, probably early next year.
  IN THIS NEW EPIC ADVENTURE
Louisa Harland plays the title role of Nell, a quick-witted and courageous young woman who finds herself framed for murder and unexpectedly becomes the most notorious highwaywoman in 18th Century England. But when a magical spirit called Billy Blind (Nick Mohammed) appears, Nell realises her destiny is bigger than she ever imagined. Frank Dillane plays Nell’s fickle friend and sometime adversary Charles Devereux, a charming rogue with a dangerous, villainous alter ego. Adrian Lester plays the Earl of Poynton, a master political schemer and manipulator who joins forces against Nell with Sofia Wilmot (Alice Kremelberg), a young widow who wants power and independence at any cost. Joely Richardson plays eccentric newspaper magnate Lady Eularia Moggerhanger, whilst Pip Torrens appears as Lord Blancheford – the father of Sofia and her feckless, bullying brother Thomas (Jake Dunn). Meanwhile, Ényì Okoronkwo also stars as Rasselas, a spirited stable boy who joins Nell and her sisters on the run in his own bid for freedom, with newcomers Bo Bragason and Florence Keen as Nell’s two younger sisters Roxy and George, and Craig Parkinson as Nell’s kind-hearted father Sam.

When spirited young Frank, an evacuee from the London Blitz, is dumped into her irritable care, his innocence and wonder awaken Alice’s deeply buried emotions. Bravely embracing life’s miraculous unpredictability, Alice learns that wounds may be healed, hope and second chances do exist, and any woman must defiantly be two things: who and what she wants.

EMILIA CLARKE TO LEAD 'THE BEAUTY INSIDE' ROMANTIC MOVIE! 'THE PASSAGE' SF NOVEL SAGA TO BECOME TV SERIES! 'HATTON GARDEN JOB' TRAILER WITH MATTHEW GOODE, STEPHEN MOYER, JOELY RICHARDSON

 EMILIA CLARKE
TO LEAD 'THE BEAUTY INSIDE'
After one of last year's most beautiful movies Me Before You, it looks like Emilia Clarke will stay in the romantic genre since, as 'Deadline' reports, she has just accepted a role in THE BEAUTY INSIDE a remake of a Korean romantic movie. Fox has paid a multimillion price for the movie pitch which will be used for the script (to be written by The Fault in Our Stars scribes) with the story following a man who wakes up in a different body each day and has to stay connected to the woman he loves. As you know, Emilia has also joined Alden Ehrenreich in the new Han Solo Star Wars spinoff movie.

 'THE PASSAGE' SF SAGA
TO BECOME NEW TV SERIES
If you like post apocalyptic shows, here's one for you: Fox has ordered a pilot for a TV series based on Justin Cronin's fantasy saga THE PASSAGE which has three books out so far following a young girl named Amy who must save the human race! The story begins in the near future and details an apocalyptic and, later, post apocalyptic world that is overrun by vampire like beings who are infected by a highly contagious virus. What begins as a project to develop a new immunity boosting drug based on a virus carried by an unnamed species of bat in South America eventually becomes the virus that transforms the world. The novel begins in 2016 and spans more than ninety years, as colonies of humans attempt to live in a world filled with superhuman creatures who are continually on the hunt for fresh blood.

 'HATTON GARDEN JOB' TRAILER

You can also check out the first trailer for this April's British action comedy movie THE HATTON GARDEN JOB with Matthew Goode and Stephen Moyer, Joely Richardson in the cast.

PREMIUM SPOTLIGHT WITH STUNNING CHARACTER PICS FOR TARSEM'S 'EMERALD CITY' EPIC TV SERIES WITH ADRIA ARJONA, OLIVER JACKSON COHEN, JOELY RICHARDSON, VINCENT D'ONOFRIO

 TARSEM'S 'EMERALD CITY
EPIC TV SERIES PHOTOS!
I'm sure you will agree with me, my spylings, that this year's television season hasn't brought many particularly good things to the small screens and that is why we are awaiting the midseason with great hunger, and with it the launch of new programmes. The one we are especially looking forward to is Tarsem Singh's EMERALD CITY which will bring some enchanting epic fantasy to Friday evenings from January 6th with its two hour special opening over at NBC! After you've seen amazing character posters earlier this summer, today you can check out equally amazing new character photos for the Wizard of Oz re imagining told in ten episodes with the cast lead by Adria Arjona, Oliver Jackson Cohen, Joely Richardson and Vincent D'Onofrio!

 SAY GOODBYE TO KANSAS
Emerald City is described as a modern and dark reimagining of the classic tale of Oz. Swept up into the eye of a tornado, 20 year old Dorothy Gale and her K9 police dog are transported to another world — a mystical land in great peril, where an all powerful Wizard has outlawed magic and rules over a mystical land of competing kingdoms, lethal warriors, dark magic and a bloody battle for supremacy! This is the fabled Land of Oz in a way you’ve never seen before — where lethal warriors roam, wicked witches plot in the shadows and a young girl from Kansas becomes the headstrong hero who holds the fate of their world in her hands.

TARSEM'S STELLAR CAST
Created by Matthew Arnold, the series sees young Adria Arjona playing the grown up Dorothy  Gale, Oliver Jackson Cohen is Lucas, the Scarecrow and also her love interest, he is handsome, mysterious and quick witted. Dorothy finds him, beaten, bloodied, and moaning on a post outside the ruins of his village. The sole survivor of what appears to gave been a mass crucifixion, he remembers nothing of his past, not even his name. He joins Dorothy on her journey to the EMERALD CITY, and as they survive challenge after challenge, he proves his loyalty to the brave but bewildered newcomer.
Florence Kasumba is a rather dramatic new Wicked Witch of the East with a rather glitzy fashion taste. Gorgeous Joely Richardson is the Good Witch Glinda, while Vincent D'Onofrio is the big Wizard himself, the enigmatic leader of Emerald City. A man of science in a world of magic, he rules through inspiration, fear and a tenuous accord with the grand witches!
The Wicked Witch of the West is played by Ana Ularu, she is a force of nature who has entered an unholy alliance with the Wizard. Corrupt and languorously seductive, she is a creature of perverse humour and unsavoury appetites. She lives in a lavishly appointed brothel where she is the madam of sorts. When confronted with the news of the First Sign that foretells the coming of the Beast, she’s clearly deeply affected by the portent’s significance…and what it means for her.
Mido Hamada is brave warrior Eamonn, Stefanie Martini is lovely Lady Ev, while Jordan Loughran is Tip, and Gerran Howell is Jack, brave, adventurous and perpetually positive!
And in a dream come true for your spy, our most beloved Trevor Morris, the genius who created heavenly music for epic series such as The Tudors, The Borgias,  Vikings, Reign and Dracula, is composing the music for EMERALD CITY as well!
