'WHITE PRINCESS' EPIC SERIES

 LAVISH CAST PHOTOS ARE HERE!

Tons of costume drama delight today, my spylings, as we have first photos and teasers for upcoming new period set TV shows! A few weeks ago I showed you the first teaser for THE WHITE PRINCESS series, a sequel to The White Queen but this time produced only by Starz without a help from BBC, and today you can feast your eyes on the lavish new cast photo shoot photos from the eight episode saga which will start its rule this April! As the photos show it will obviously have much better costumes than the first season which was largely criticised for historical inaccuracies and lack of any splendour.

YORKS VS TUDORS  
The story begins in the aftermath of the 1485 battle of Bosworth, the final conflict in England's War of the Roses, where Henry Tudor (Jacob Collins Levy) unexpectedly defeated King Richard III to become King Henry VII. Elizabeth of York (Jodie Comer), the niece and former lover of Richard, is forced to marry Henry to unite their warring families, but the two can barely contain their disdain for one another. Newly crowned Queen of England, Elizabeth finds herself torn between loyalty to her blood relatives, placating her husband and his icy mother (Michelle Fairley) and establishing herself as a key player within the court's intricate politics.

PREDOMINANTLY FEMALE CAST

Other stars in the cast include Essie Davis as Elizabeth's mother, previous queen Elizabeth, Joanne Whalley will be Duchesss of Burgundy her aunt, and sister to dead kings Richard III and Edward IV of England, with Michelle Fairley as Margaret Beaufort, the king's mother and the calculating mastermind behind Henry's ascent to the Throne, and Suki Waterhouse as Cecily of York, jealous younger sister to Princess Elizabeth! Amy Manson is going to portray Lady Catherine Gordon, cousin to King James IV of Scotland and the love interest of “The Boy” who claims to be Prince Richard of York, rightful heir to the throne and Elizabeth’s long lost brother played by Patrick Gibson! Andrew Whipp will play Richard Pole, supporter and former soldier of Henry VII, whose marriage to Elizabeth’s cousin Margaret Plantagenet (Rebecca Benson) reinforces the alliance between the Houses of York and Lancaster under Tudor rule. Kenneth Cranham is Bishop Morton and Vincent Regan is Jasper Tudor.

'REIGN' EPIC SERIES

'FALLEN' EPIC MOVIE ADAPTATION TRAILER WITH JEREMY IRVINE! ED SKREIN IS VILLAIN IN 'ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL' SF EPIC? MAX LLOYD JONES IS SIR FRANCIS DRAKE IN 'REIGN' SEASON 4

ED SKREIN IS VILLAIN IN 

'ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL'?

I've gotta admit we've kinda lost interest for James Cameron and Robert Rodriguez' adaptation of ALITA: BATTLE ANGELS ever since the rather blah casting begun, but the latest addition of Ed Skrein as the villain is at least some good news. Rosa Salazar is leading the cast which also has Christoph Waltz and Jackie Earl Haley.

Set in the 26th century, ALITA tells of a female cyborg that is discovered in a scrapyard by a scientist. With no memory of her previous life except her deadly martial arts training, the woman becomes a bounty hunter, tracking down criminals. As 'Hollywood Reporter' writes, Ed Skrein will play a character named Zapan, a villainous cyborg who is in possession of a weapon called the Damascus blade.

'REIGN' SEASON 4 CASTS 

MAX LLOYD JONES AS CAPTAIN SIR FRANCIS DRAKE

In the whole army of handsome hunks that have already joined the fourth season of CW's epic series REIGN, here's a new blue eyed one: Max Lloyd Jones is to play Sir Francis Drake one of Queen Elizabeth's (Rachel Skarsten) admirals and knights. Not that everybody saw him as a knight: although he lead many expeditions around the world, he also inaugurated an era of piracy in Americas and was one of those who defeated the Spanish Armada in 1588.

As I told you before, Will Kemp is joining the season as Queen Mary of Scots' (Adelaide Kane) second husband Lord Darnley,  Adam Croasdell is to play Bothwell, Mary's third husband, Steven Lund will be Lord Luc, Lord Narcisse's (Craig Parker) dashing son.

'FALLEN' TRAILER

 JEREMY IRVINE IS AN ANGEL

For all ya teens, the first trailer has been revealed for the big screen adaptation of FALLEN series following Luce Price (Addison Timlin who seems as lifeless and bland as that zombie chick from Twilight was), a seventeen year old living a seemingly ordinary life until she is accused of a crime she didn't commit. Sent off to the imposing Sword & Cross reform school, Luce finds herself being courted by two young men (Jeremy Irvine and Harrison Gilbertson) to whom she feels oddly connected. Isolated and haunted by strange visions, Luce begins to unravel the secrets of her past and discovers the two men are fallen angels, competing for her love for centuries. Luce must choose where her feelings lie, pitting Heaven against Hell in an epic battle over true love. Joely Richardson also stars in November 17th flick.

I've told you before that Steve Lund will play Lord Narcisse's handsome son, and that Will Kemp will play her second husband Lord Darnley! Breezily confident, charming and warm, he was born with a blood claim of his own to the English throne and a wildly ambitious mother whose love hinges entirely on his ability to secure a crown.

 'LES MISERABLES' 

TO BECOME NEW BBC SERIES

Well, after the great successes of WAR AND PEACE and DICKENSIAN, it was only to be expected that BBC will venture even deeper into the world of literary classics for their new series: according to latest news, Andrew Davies (the same scribe that turned the tragic and deeply moving depth of Tolstoy's classic into an Austenian flimsy affair) will now pen a six episode mini series based on Victor Hugo's LES MISERABLES! But here's the catch = this time it will be without singing! It will, of course, follow Jean Valjean a former convict unable to escape the shadow of his past life while being pursued by his enemy, police officer Javert.

I've told you that one of the new male roles will be the role of lord Narcisse's (Craig Parker) son and it just went to Steven Lund. He will be Luc, a sexy, highborn rogue who is also a plain speaking realist. He’s a good guy who happens to have a morally compromised and very powerful father: Lord Stephan Narcisse. But he is his own man, eyeing his own future, even as his father pressures him to make lasting and permanent inroads with the French royal family. Specifically, Narcisse wants his son at Princess Claude’s (Rose Williams) side. His arrival will complicate Claude’s life in ways she could never have imagined!

WILL KEMP JOINS 'REIGN' SEASON 4 AS LORD DARNLEY! EVA LONGORIA, JACK WHITEHALL TO LEAD BBC'S 'DECLINE AND FALL' ADAPTATION! 'SECRED GARDEN' GETS NEW MOVIE VERSION

 WILL KEMP IS LORD DARNLEY

IN 'REIGN' EPIC SEASON 4

As you know, CW's historical saga on Mary Queen of Scots (Adelaide Kane) REIGN, which ends its 3rd season in a few weeks, is getting the 4th run and now the first newcomer to the cast has been revealed: one of our fave Australian stars Will Kemp (VAN HELSING) will star in three episodes with a potential for a regular role.

He will play LORD DARNLEY, Mary's second husband. Breezily confident, charming and warm, he was born with a blood-claim of his own to the English throne and a wildly ambitious mother whose love hinges entirely on his ability to secure a crown. Mary fell in love with him while mourning the death of her first husband Francis (actor Toby Regbo is no longer in the show and so is Torrance Coombs who played king's brother). Their relationship quickly deteriorated as Darnley grew more and more arrogant. He was subsequently murdered, with suspicion falling on Mary! Beside him, there will be two other new male characters in the series: Bothwell, a warm hearted bad boy who is deeply in love with Mary,  and Lord Narcisse’s (Craig Parker) son Gabriel, a sexy and highborn rogue who is also a plain speaking realist and will fall for Princess Claude and attempt to marry her, despite her obvious affections for another.

 'THE SECRET GARDEN'

GETS NEW FILM ADAPTATION

Meanwhile, 'Deadline' reports that one of our favourite stories will get a new movie adaptation by Studio Canal! THE SECRET GARDEN will be a movie version of Frances Hodgson Burnett’s beloved story about Mary Lennox, a troubled, sickly, orphaned 10-year-old girl sent to live with an uncle after her parents have died in a cholera outbreak in India. Initially sour and rude, Mary begins to explore the grounds of her uncle’s estate and befriends a robin. Mary hears of a locked away, hidden garden. Together with the robin, she finds the key and enters the garden only to discover it is more magical than she could have ever imagined.

BBC'S 'DECLINE & FALL'

JACK WHITEHALL AND EVA LONGORIA JOIN MINI SERIES

Speaking of period set projects, from BBC Two comes a word that their three episode adaptation of Evelyn Waugh's DECLINE AND FALL will have Eva Longoria in the cast!  Set in 1920s Wales, it is a bitingly funny satire that follows the life and times of hapless Paul Pennyfeather (Jack Whitehall) who is sent down from Oxford after a wild, drunken party and finds himself qualifying for the position of schoolmaster at a boys’ private school in Wales. There he meets the delectable Margot Beste Chetwynde (Eva Longoria), the wealthy, powerful, and beautiful South American woman, who becomes the object of his affections.

 'REIGN' EPIC TV SERIES

TIGERS AND QUEENS IN THE FIRST SEASON THREE TRAILER

And I stand corrected since it isn't two but four queens today, having in mind that there are three of them in the third season of CW's historical series REIGN with Queen Elizabeth (Rachel Skarsten) getting into some wicked shenanigans with Queen Mary of Scots and France (Adelaide Kane) and queen Catherine de Medici (Megan Follows), for which you can see the first teaser trailer today! CW has moved the show to Fridays and has ordered only 18 episodes this season. They're obviously trying to spice up the story since the audience was left disappointed with the implausible  behaviour of the main characters in the previous run. While his mother is trying to dethrone his wife Mary conspiring secretly with Elizabeth, French King Francis (Toby Regbo) will keep trying to help his cheating, treacherous spouse.

OTHER NEW CAST MEMBERS
I've already reported that Tom Everett Scott will join the cast as Elizabeth's counsellor.

I've also already reported that Spencer MacPherson will play French prince Charles, and that Sameer Usmani, Nick Lee and Ben Geurens have also joined the cast.

Two trailers for you today, starting with the beautiful first one for our beloved Chris Evan's directorial debut BEFORE WE GO which hits theatres this September.  The film follows the journey of two strangers (Chris Evans and Alice Eve) stuck in New York City for the night.

STUNING NEW 'LAST WITCH HUNTER' POSTERS WITH VIN DIESEL! SPENCER MACPHERSON IS PRINCE CHARLES IN 'REIGN' EPIC SERIES SEASON 3!

 'REIGN' SEASON 3

SPENCER MACPHERSON JOINS EPIC SHOW AS PRINCE CHARLES

In the news from the epic TV front today, the latest report is that 18 year old Spencer MacPherson has joined the 3rd season of CW's historical drama REIGN. He will play French prince Charles, a boy on the edge of puberty who has begun to realize that he may be the next King of France sooner than he’d imagined. This harsh realization causes him to swing back and forth between fulfilling the needs of a teenage boy and a drive to be the best ruler he can be. As you know the new season will probably see Queen Mary (Adelaide Kane) moving to Scotland after her husband King Francis (Toby Regbo) dies, where she will fight with Queen Elizabeth (Rachel Skarsten). The third run starts October 9th but with reduced number of episodes than usual probably due to the fact that the 2nd season's implausible character development has left the show without the core of its audience.

 'LAST WITCH HUNTER' POSTERS

VIN DIESEL TAKES THE THRONE

In the moments right before her death, the Queen curses Kaulder with her own immortality, forever separating him from his beloved wife and daughter in the afterlife. Today Kaulder is the only one of his kind remaining, and has spent centuries hunting down rogue witches, all the while yearning for his long-lost loved ones. However, unbeknownst to Kaulder, the Queen Witch is resurrected and seeks revenge on her killer causing an epic battle that will determine the survival of the human race.

  LAVISH ROYAL CORONATION

IN THE NEW EPISODE OF 'REIGN'

Now, we've seen Mary and Francis taking over the rule over France at the start of the second season of CW's popular historical series REIGN, but we haven't yet seen the official coronation! The crowning will happen in the fourth episode in which, with France in a state of famine, as well as religious and political unrest, Mary (Adelaide Kane) looks for a way to feed the people, risking the wrath of a vengeful Lord Narcisse (Craig Parker). Francis (Toby Regbo) is preoccupied by the harrowing suspicion that his dead father’s spirit can possess the living and is haunting Francis as revenge for his murder. As Catherine (Megan Follows) makes excessive and lavish preparations for a coronation ceremony to give the impression of stability to the realm, Bash (Torrance Coombs) confronts the reality of a country plagued by fear, bankruptcy, and murder.

THE LAVISH GOWNS
The royal coronation episode will show us a sumptuous wardrobe of rich fabrics, over-the-top crowns, exquisite jewelry, and fashion forward clothing! As EW reports, Mary's coronation gown made from gold embroidered burgundy brocade with a very long train took 12 yards of fabric, six seamstresses and designers and two weeks to finish! Francis is wearing a vest from the same brocade. Mary will also wear an ornate golden crown and extravagant oxidized, gold-plated Swarovski crystal chandelier earrings! The old queen Catherine will wear Oscar de la Renta ruby necklace! It is interesting that most of the costumes and jewellery seen in the show are taken from the collections of contemporary designers.
