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!
