Northern America and UK, but today you can watch the trailer for historical drama THE KING with Timothee Chalamet as King Henry V! In the film, he first appears as Hal, wayward prince and reluctant heir to the English throne, who has turned his back on royal life and is living among the people. But when his tyrannical father (Ben Mendelsohn) dies, Hal is crowned King Henry V and is forced to embrace the life he had previously tried to escape. Now the young king must navigate the palace politics, chaos and war his father left behind, and the emotional strings of his past life, including his relationship with his closest friend and mentor, the ageing alcoholic knight, John Falstaff (Joel

Edgerton). The cast also includes Robert Pattinson as the dauphin of France. It definitely isn't a very promising cast and the acting looks as bland as Chalamet, Edgerton, Pattinson usually get in their constant lack of any acting expressiveness, but you can judge it for yourself below:
Andrew Lincoln will be the father of the Bloom family
ANDREW LINCOLN
JOINS PENGUIN BLOOM!
I remember that I announced this one some four or five years ago, but it seems PENGUIN BLOOM is finally moving on with production with Andrew Lincoln being cast next to already announced Naomi Watts who is producing the heart warming story based on the bestseller by Bradley Trevor Greive and Cameron Bloom.
PENGUIN BLOOM
is a true story of a unique little bird that saves a family. Cameron and
Sam Bloom and their three boys were an everyday family until a shocking,
near fatal accident left Sam paralysed. She fell from a balcony while
on holiday in Thailand, and was left paralysed from the chest down. As
the family struggled to adjust to her new situation, an unlikely ally
entered their lives in the form of an injured Magpie chick which the
Bloom clan called Penguin. The wild bird became a mascot for the family.

White Queen will rule Arrakis.. or so it seems. According to 'Variety' Rebecca Ferguson will join Timothee Chalamet in big screen adaptation of Frank Herbert's cult sf classic DUNE to be helmed by Denis Villeneuve for Legendary.
DUNE, set in the distant future, follows Paul Atreides, whose family
assumes control of the desert planet Arrakis. As the only producer of a
highly valuable resource, jurisdiction over Arrakis is contested among
competing noble families. After Paul and his family are betrayed, the
story explores themes of politics, religion, and man’s relationship with
nature, as Paul leads a rebellion to restore his family’s reign.

ADS MEMBERS TO THE TIMOTHEE CHALAMET'S ROYAL COURT
Robert Pattinson will be the French Prince!
I must admit this cast has zero charisma to me, but maybe you won't agree. After adding Timothee Chalamet and Joel Edgerton as leads in THE KING movie, Netflix has rounded up the cast with Ben Mendelsohn, Robert Pattinson, Sean Harris and Lily Rose Depp.
David Michôd directs the movie based on Shakespeare plays Henry IV and Henry V which follow a young disgraced prince Hal (Timothee
Chalamet) who inherits the crown at a particularly turbulent time in
English history and must learn what it means to be a king, guided by his
one true friend, Falstaff (Joel Edgerton). The story is set at the time
when England waged the Hundred Year war against France which
culminated with the famous 1415 Battle Of Agincourt!

His Hobbits, Kongs and other movies outside Lord of the Rings weren't exactly great, but Peter Jackson is returning to fantasy world again, as I reported before, with MORTAL ENGINES adaptation and now he has found his lead too in Robbie Sheehan and a supporting actor in Ronan Raftery.
MORTAL ENGINES, to be released in December next year, are set in a
world many thousands of years in the future. Earth's cities now roam the
globe on huge wheels, devouring each other in a struggle for ever
diminishing resources. On one of these massive Traction Cities, Tom
Natsworthy has an unexpected encounter with a mysterious young woman
from the Outlands who will change the course of his life forever.

'THE LOST CITY OF Z'
NEW TRAILER AND POSTER!
New trailer and poster have been released for big screen adaptation of THE LOST CITY OF Z which, out this April, tells the true story of British explorer Percy Fawcett (Charlie Hunnam), who journeys into the Amazon at the dawn of the 20th century and discovers evidence of a previously unknown, advanced civilization that may have once inhabited the region. Despite being ridiculed by the scientific establishment who regard indigenous populations as "savages," the determined Fawcett, supported by his devoted wife (Sienna Miller), son (Tom Holland) and aide de camp (Robert Pattinson), returns time and again to his beloved jungle in an attempt to prove his case, culminating in his mysterious disappearance in 1925.
Two adventure trailers for you today, beginning with the second one for Steven Spielberg's BFG or BIG FRIENDLY GIANTwhich will stomp into theatres July 1st!
FRIENDLY GIANT The movie tells Roald Dahl's imaginative story of a young orphan girl and the Giant (Mark Rylance) who introduces her to the wonders and perils of Giant Country. The BFG
brings Sophie to Dream Country where he collects dreams and sends them
to children, teaching her all about the magic and mystery of dreams.
Having both been on their own in the world up until now, their affection
for one another quickly grows, but Sophie's presence in Giant Country
has attracted the unwanted attention of the other giants, who have
become increasingly more bothersome. Sophie and the BFG soon depart for London to see the Queen (Penelope Wilton) and warn her of the precarious giant situation, but they must first convince the Queen and her maid, Mary (Rebecca Hall), that giants do indeed exist. Rafe Spall also stars!
'LOST CITY OF Z' TRAILER
CHARLIE HUNNAM, ROBERT PATTINSON, SIENNA MILLER AND TOM HOLLAND
The first quite meh trailer has also been, rather quietly, released for the adaptation of DavidGrann's book THE LOST CITY OF Z which describes real events, about British explorer Percy Fawcett (Charlie Hunnam) who made several attempts to find an ancient lost city in the Amazon and finally disappeared in 1925 along with his son in the search for the city. Beside Charlie Hunnam as Colonel Fawcett, the movie also stars Robert Pattinson as his fellow explorer Henry Costin and Sienna Miller as his wife Nina Fawcett! Angus MacFadyen and Tom Holland are also in the cast in the Brad Pitt produced movie which will probably hit cinemas some time in Autumn.
