Emily of New Moon 2.1 DVD Screen Captures

allMywonders — Sat, 21 Aug 2010 00:19:28 +0000

Another new show is in the gallery. I bought season 2 of Emily of New Moon today and started watching and capping it (the first season wasn’t available). The DVD quality isn’t all that great, but it will do since the show was only recently released on DVD despite being aired more than a decade ago! The show takes place in the late 1800s.

The Crimson Petal and the White BBC Drama

Romola Garai, Gillian Anderson, and Richard E. Granthave will star in the upcoming four-part miniseries, The Crimson Petal and the White, which will air early next year on the BBC. The Hollywood Reporter announced the cast a week ago.

Based on the novel from Michel Faber and produced by David Thompson’s Origin Pictures, the 4×60 serial sees Garai playing Sugar, a young prostitute who yearns for a better life away from the supervision of brothel-keeper Mrs. Castaway, played by Anderson.

Grant takes the role of creepy physician Doctor Curlew, whose invasive techniques leave his patients mutilated.

When Sugar becomes the mistress of wealthy businessman William Rackham, whose fragile wife Agnes is attended by Curlew, their lives begin to spiral out of control.

Origin Pictures’ producer Thompson said the drama promises to “shake up the audience’s perceptions of conventional period drama.”

The Tempest Stills and Poster

The poster for The Tempest, a film adaptation of Shakespeare’s play, has made it online. The movie stars Russell Brand, Alfred Molina, and Helen Mirren as Prospera, the main character whose gender was changed from the original Prospero. You can view the new stills and poster at IMDb and Daemon’s Movies.

In Shakespeare’s fantastical thriller the magician Prospero orchestrates spirits, monsters, a grief-stricken king, a wise old councillor, two treacherous brothers and a storm at sea into a fantastical conspiracy bringing banishment, sorcery and shipwreck into the lives of two hapless lovers to stir and seal their fate. Here Prospero takes female form as Prospera, giving her journey of vengeance and self-discovery a wholly new resonance. As Prospera breaks her magical staff against an entrancing volcanic landscape at the end of her heroic quest, this poignant story of love and forgiveness translates into a riveting and filmic mystical tale, for our own times.

Black Death Trailer

I don’t know how long this has been online, but I recently just came across the trailer for Black Death. Although it is often compared to the upcoming and delayed Season of the Witch, I think that they may be very different. You can view the trailer for Season of the Witch to compare for yourself here.

Merlin 1.1 DVD Screen Captures

allMywonders — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 06:23:07 +0000

A new show has been added to the gallery. Although it isn’t exactly historical, BBC’s Merlin is based on Arthurian legends and history and I thought it deserved a place here at Long Ago Captures. The first episode has been added to the gallery. It brought back fond memories of autumn 2008! The show is fun and appropriate for children, but it also has its darker moments.

Rome 1.1 DVD Screen Captures

I am slowly working towards completing the Rome screen capture gallery! Captures from Rome 1.1 have been added to the gallery. Hope you enjoy them.

TCA Press Tour Updates

Starz were busy promoting Camelot and their Spartacus: Blood and Sand prequel miniseries at the TCA Press Tour. A teaser trailer of Camelot was shown and the series is said to be “earthy” and very film-like. Check SpoilerTV for amazing shots of extras in costume and the first look at Joseph Fiennes as Merlin.

“Camelot” tells the story of King Arthur and the knights of the Round Table, filmed in Ireland and starring English Joseph Fiennes, Jamie Campbell Bower (“Sweeney Todd”) and Tamsin Egerton. Fiennes, who will play a “Machiavellian” version of the wizard Merlin, called Starz a “hybrid between film and television” that allows for stories with a wider scope without the “interruption” of advertising.

During the “Camelot” panel, showrunner Chris Chibnall confirmed that James Purefoy will also be joining the cast. “Camelot” is scheduled to air in the first half of 2011.

Only Roman gladiator drama “Spartacus: Gods of the Arena” is devoid of any British roots — the show’s executive producer and head writer, Steven S. Deknight, was born in New Jersey. “I feel like I should speak with an English accent now,” DeKnight joked at TCA.

“Gods of the Arena” is a prequel to the popular “Spartacus: Blood and Sand,” which debuted in January, also created by DeKnight. The decision for a prequel rather than a second season was made when series star Andy Whitfield was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

Camelot Set Photos

A few set photos from the Irish set of Starz’s Camelot have hit the internet. You can view hi-res candids of the lovely Eva Green as Morgana at EvaGreenWeb.com. There is also a small picture of Jamie Campbell-Bower (Arthur), Joseph Fiennes (Merlin), and Peter Mooney (Kay) at this website. The new series is expected to air in the first half of 2011. The article also lists the new actors involved, including Philip Winchester and James Purefoy.

The cast also includes Philip Winchester (“Crusoe”) as Leontes, Sebastian Koch (The Lives of Others) as King Uther and James Purefoy (“Rome”) as King Lot.

Red Riding Hood Set Pictures

Check out these two websites (here and here) for set photos from the upcoming Red Riding Hood film starring Amanda Seyfried. Judging by the photos, it looks like they are going for a more fairytale rather than historical atmosphere. Here is the synopsis from IMDb: “Set in a medieval village that is haunted by a werewolf, a young girl falls for an orphaned woodcutter, much to her family’s displeasure.” The movie is being filmed in Vancouver and is directed by Twilight‘s Catherine Hardwicke.
