FIRST RUPERT PENRY JONES AND JILL HALFPENNY TRAILER FROM CHANNEL 5
Channel 5 has sent us first trailer for their new six part thriller mini TV series THE FEUD which will star airing Monday April 14th.
THE FEUD introduces Emma and John Barnett(Jill Halfpenny and Rupert Penry-Jones) who, along with their teenage daughter Beth (Megan Trower), appear to live an idyllic life on Shelbury Drive. They’re close friends with their
Rupert Penry Jones and Jill Halfpenny
neighbours, Sonia and Alan (Amy Nuttall and Ray Fearon) and despite their foibles, are also fond of older couple, Derek and Barbara (James Fleet and Tessa Peake-Jones).
The close friendships in this seemingly peaceful street prove to be
not quite as harmonious as they seem. When Emma and John decide to add a
kitchen extension to their house, things quickly start to spin
drastically out of control. As objections to the plans are raised,
unexpected skeletons and life-threatening
secrets begin to rise to the surface. Laced with menace, The Feud
reveals how Emma’s aspirational dream turns sharply into obsession,
paranoia, and fear. One decision sets in motion events that have
unforeseeable consequences for both her and the people living on her
street. Check out the short teaser trailer below and tell us what you think, would you watch?

mainly by two things: free food and spectacular entertainment, in the
form of chariot racing and gladiator fights. The races at Circus Maximus
are controlled by four Patrician-owned corporations, the Blue, Red,
White, and Green factions, and shares in the four factions are the most
valuable things in Rome. The large scale drama is set within the spectacular, complex and corrupt
world of gladiatorial sports in Ancient Rome introducing diverse
characters across the many layers of
Roman society where sports, politics and business intersect and
collide. Emperor Vespasian of Rome and head of the Flavian bloodline, is
battle tested, a rural upstart who claimed his throne after victory in a
bloody 10-year civil war. He is aging and is despised by the Patricians
jockeying for position in the Empire and looking to supplant his heirs
to the throne the first chance they get.

VINCENT CASSEL TO LEAD
SAINT EX MOVIE WITH LOUIS GARREL AND DIANE KRUGER
After our spotlight on the Musketeers yesterday, we are staying in France today as well since Vincent Cassel, Louis Garrel and Diane Kruger have been cast in StudioCanal's SAINT EX period set drama movie. Set in 1930 it centres around Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, an Airmail pilot in Argentina. When his best friend who happens to be Airmail’s best pilot Henri Guillaumet disappears in the Andes, Saint-Ex decides to set out in search of him, against all odds. This impossible quest forces him to push beyond his limits, turning his capacity to dream into his greatest strength.
RAVEL'S BIOPIC BOLERO
SETS MAIN MOVIE CAST
CineEuropa reports that Anne Fontaine has cast Raphael Personnaz, Vincent Perez and Jeanne Balibar in her biopic on Maurice Ravel titled BOLERO. Doria Tillier, Emmanuelle Devos, Suzanne Clement and Sophie Guillemin will also star. Netflix will stream the film that looks back at the origins of the Bolero, when it was nothing but a simple command made by choreographer Ida Rubinstein to Maurice Ravel. The latter obeys as if a kind of exercise. But as the composition advances the work takes on a wholly unexpected dimension, reminding the musician of his demons but also the wonders he has worked...
