'ANNA KARENINA'
HITS SMALL SCREENS AGAIN?
There were a lot of Karenina film adaptations recently
Good news, people, as Deadline reports, a new small screen version of famous Russian classic ANNA KARENINA is in works, the bad news, it will be done by Gwyneth Hughes, who massacred Thackeray's Vanity Fair recently over at ITV turning it into one of the most dull series we've seen in recent times. Fingers crossed she does not rape and kill Tolstoy's novel the same way. It is a complex story which follows dozens of major characters similar to his War and Peace. It mainly follows Russian noble woman Anna Karenina who has an affair with a dashing cavalry officer that scandalizes Saint Petersburg social circles. The pair initially flee to Italy before returning to Russia, where their lives further unravel. I'm guessing it will also be at ITV as Hughes is doing a Keeley Hawes thriller for them currently.

Hotshot Air Force pilot, Rick Janssen (Sam Worthington), is chosen
for a military experiment that will create a human being capable of
surviving the harsh environments of Saturn's moon, TITAN. The experiment
is successful, turning Rick into a super human, but it also creates
deadly side effects which threatens the life of Rick, his wife and
family, and possibly humanity itself.
Did you know that this is Sam Worthington's third film with Titan in its title after Clash of the Titans and Wrath of the Titans! And all three were shot in the Canary Islands!

whose youngest daughter is kidnapped during a family holiday. Evidence

apparently from God (OctaviaSpencer), inviting him to go back to the ruined building. He
accepts, against his better judgement, and what he finds there changes
his life forever. The long awaited movie isn't coming out any time soon, since it is scheduled for March next spring.

Scamander who, back in 1926, has just completed a global excursion to

in New York for a brief stopover, he might have come and gone without
incident... were it not for a No-Maj (American for Muggle) named Jacob, a
misplaced magical case, and the escape of some of Newt's fantastic
beasts, which could spell trouble for both the wizarding and No-Maj
worlds. Samantha Morton, John Voight, Ron Perlman and Colin Farrell also
star.
