A few months ago director Francis Lee found himself in a sort of a pickle when the family of famous fossil hunter Mary Anning refused to give any support to his film Ammonite in which she is played by Kate Winslet as the film portrays her as a lesbian and there are no real records or evidence that she ever was lesbian. Something similar is happening now to another biopic - TOLKIEN on the famous author of legendary Lord of the Rings saga. His family has also decided not to endorse the movie and hasn't been a part of

its production in any way. But then again, they did not give support to Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings and Hobbit movies either, but they did back the upcoming Amazon's TV series on the famous saga (for which they did get about $250 million for the rights - deservedly if I might say so). It seems that Fox movie studios did not even try to involve the family in the movie which depicts the early years in the extra ordinary life of J.R.R. Tolkien which influenced his later writing. His son Christopher Tolkien said that the commercialization of his father's work has reduced the aesthetic and philosophical impact of the creation to nothing! With or without the family's support, Dome Karukoski's movie in which Nicholas Hoult

THE STORY OF TOLKIEN explores the formative years of the orphaned author as he
finds friendship, love and artistic inspiration among a group of fellow
outcasts at school. This takes him into the outbreak of World War I,
which threatens to tear the "fellowship" apart. All of these experiences
would inspire Tolkien to write his famous Middle-Earth novels.The movie
also sees Lily Collins playing his wife, with Derek Jacobi, Patrick
Gibson, Colm Meaney, Anthony Boyle also in the cast.
Comedy Wednesday today, people! After Sex and the City, Darren Star is preparing new half hour dramedy for the small screens and has just cast Lily Collins (who absolutely amazed us this winter in BBC's Les Miserables with her deeply haunting portrayal of Fantine) as the lead lady in EMILY IN PARIS
Paramount Network's new comedy series will see her playing Emily, a
driven twenty something American woman from the Midwest, who moves to
Paris for an unexpected job opportunity, tasked with bringing an
American point of view to a venerable French marketing firm. Cultures
clash as she adjusts to the challenges of life in a foreign city, while
juggling her career, new friendships and love life. Paramount's Kevin
Costner series Yellowstone was last year's most watched cable series so
they're looking to score success with this one as well.
'FRIENDS IN LAW' SITCOM
Zach Cregger will be Jake in Friends in Law
TO BE TOPLINED BY ZACH CREGGER AND MICHAEL URIE
Meanwhile, NBC has rounded up the cast for their new multicam sitcom FRIENDS IN LAW and it is rather superfun! Our beloved Wrecked and Guys with Kids star Zach Cregger will lead the cast with always lovely Michael Urie, Vella Lovell and Gil Ozeri. The story centres on Brian (Urie) and Jake (Cregger), polar opposites who must quickly figure out how to coexist when their respective best friends Margaret (Lovell) and Randy (Ozeri) decide to get married. Urie’s Brian fears that his best friend Margaret’s potential marriage to Randy will leave him left out. He forms an unlikely partnership with Randy’s best friend, Jake, to disrupt their union.

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.

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.
