Although I found Wolf Hall series a dreary borefest I am sure some of you will rejoice hearing that is getting a second and final season from BBC based on Hilary Mantel's THE MIRROR AND THE LIGHT novel. Mark Rylance will reprise his role as Thomas Cromwell, while Damian Lewis will again reign as King Henry VIII, with Jonathan Pryce as Cardinal Wolsey, in the story about the final four years of Cromwell’s life, completing his journey from self-made man to the most feared, influential figure of his time. The story picks up exactly where Wolf Hall ended, with the execution of Henry VIII’s second wife, Anne Boleyn, who was played rather unsuccessfully by the wooden Claire Foy. The series will air on PBS Masterpiece.
Beta has released first look at Claes Bang as the famous Swiss historical hero WILLIAM TELL in the new epic movie which also stars Connor Swindells, Ben Kingsley, Jonah Hauer King, Rafe Spall, Ellie Bamber, Emily Beecham, Solly McLeod and Jonathan Pryce. Quite a cast for a 14th century story set in the final days of the Holy Roman Empire where Europe’s nations vie for supremacy and the ambitious Austrians, desiring more land, set their sights on Switzerland, a serene and pastoral nation.
William Tell, a formerly peaceful hunter, finds himself forced to take action as his family and homeland come under threat from the oppressive Austrian King and his ruthless warlords.
Toronto Film Festival has unveiled a line up of films that will be presented there this year and getting a world premiere in Toronto is ONE LIFE which tells the true story of Sir Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton, a young London banker (Johnny Flynn) who, on the eve of World War II, saved 669 children from the Nazis – more than the number of children who survived the Holocaust in Czechoslovakia. With war fast approaching, Winton visited a recently annexed Prague and witnessed first-hand Jewish refugee families with little to no shelter and food. He immediately realized it was a race against time to see how many children he and his friends could rescue before time ran out. Fifty years later, in 1988, Winton (Anthony Hopkins) is haunted by the fate of the children he wasn’t able to bring to safety in England. It’s not until a live television show “That’s Life” surprises him with the surviving children – now adults – seated all around him that he can finally make peace with the loss he had carried for five decades. Helena Bonham Carter plays Winton’s mother, with Jonathan Pryce, Lena Olin, Romola Garai and Alex Sharp also in the cast.

Amazon Studios is adapting the book
Beatryce, curled in a stall, wracked with fever, coated in dirt and blood, and holding fast to the ear of Answelica the goat. As the monk nurses Beatryce to health, he uncovers her dangerous secret, one that imperils them all, for the king of the land seeks just such a girl, and Brother Edik, who penned the prophecy himself, knows why.
And so it is that a girl with a head full of stories, powerful tales-within-the-tale of queens and kings, mermaids and wolves, ventures into a dark wood in search of the castle of one who wishes her dead. But Beatryce knows that, should she lose her way, those who love her, a wild-eyed monk, a man who had once been king, a boy with a terrible sword, and a goat with a head as hard as stone, will never give up searching for her, and to know this is to know everything.
