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.

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.

I'm guessing he has waited for this role all his life: as 'Deadline' reports Dwayne Johnson will play Hawaiian king Kamehameha in Robert Zemeckis directed epic adventure THE KING based on the script from Braveheart's Randall Wallace!

Kamehameha is the legendary king who was the first to unite the warring Hawaiian islands, which fulfilled the prophecy that surrounded his fabled life since birth. He took control of Hawaii’s destiny, and gave the islanders leverage in advancing the culture in trading with the foreign ships from Europe that began showing up on the shores of islands that must have seemed like paradise, albeit a sometimes dangerous one as explorers like Simon Metcalfe and Captain James Cook discovered before Kamehameha forcibly unified the islands.

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!

  'JERU- SALEM' WW2 SERIES
Although everybody's fave Momma Durrell Keeley Hawes is to play British Home Secretary in new BBC series Bodyguard with our dearest Richard Madden, it seems she will rule politics in JERUSALEM as well over at Channel 4! She has just joined their new period set World War 2 series in which Emma Appleton plays a young woman who joins British civil service in 1945 and agrees to spy on her own government for the Americans. Luke Treadaway, Matt Lauria, Brandon P. Bell and Stephen Campbell Moore also star in the WW2 drama in which Keeley Hawes will play her exacting boss at the civil service, who becomes an unlikely role model of what a woman can achieve in a man's world. This means Keeley will have a series within the same year on each of UK's three biggest channels.

'HARROW ALLEY' 17TH CENTURY HORROR SERIES AT HBO

Emma will also write the small screen adaptation

Meanwhile, another great British thespian Emma Thompson will produce a period set horror TV series based on a long lost script HARROW ALLEY over at HBO! The story is set during the black plague in the 17th century and follows an English town as it deteriorates. It revolves around the fortunes of two men, likeable but lawless rogue Ratsey and well meaning alderman Harry, who are both trying to survive the dangers of the time. The script was originally written by classic Hollywood writer Walter Newman and is often, as 'Deadline' reports, used in film classes becoming in certain way legendary.

EPIC FRIDAY: TIMOTHEE CHALAMET IS 'THE KING' HENRY V IN NETFLIX EPIC MOVIE! ANGUS MACFADYEN IS SCOTTISH KING 'ROBERT THE BRUCE' IN BRAVEHEART SEQUEL

  TIMOTHEE CHALAMET IS

'THE KING' HENRY V FOR NETFLIX

Timothee is nominated for an Oscar this year

While we are waiting to see Chris Pine as a Scottish hero Robert the Bruce in Outlaw King later this year, it seems Netflix is preparing another royal project. THE KING will star Oscar nominee Timothee Chalamet as king Henry V! Tom Hiddleston, Jude Law, Kenneth Branagh and Laurence Olivier were just some of the actors who portrayed the king famous for the battle at Agincourt.

THE KING, directed by David Michod, will see Chalamet playing the king  who, after his brother is killed in battle before his coronation, takes over the crown in the early 1400s. The reluctant ruler wears the crown at a time when England was near a war with France, and the empire is teetering. He rises to the occasion, admirably.

  'ROBERT THE BRUCE'

ANGUS MACFADYEN TO PLAY THE LEGENDARY SCOTTISH HERO

Angus will repeat his role from Braveheart!

Speaking of Robert the Bruce, there is another projects currently in plan about him! As 'Deadline' reports, Angus Macfadyen will lead epic drama ROBERT THE BRUCE playing the famous warrior who took the Scottish crown. Richard Gray is directing the cast that also has Terror star Jared Harris, Black Sails star Zach McGowan, Vikings star Diarmaid Murtagh, Shane Coffey, Kevin McNally and Patrick Fugit. The movie will follow a widow Moira (Anna Hutchison) and her child (Gabriel Bateman), niece (Talitha Bateman) and nephew who save the King of Scotland, Robert The Bruce. It is interesting that MacFadyen has already played the hero back in Braveheart and this film continues its story!
