9 February, 2009 » The Devil’s Whore Part 3 Screen Captures
I finally added screen captures from part three of Channel Four’s English Civil War drama, The Devil’s Whore, which aired a few months ago. The four-part series starred Andrea Riseborough and John Simm.
Variety posted a very in-depth review and analysis of the upcoming film The Young Victoria. You can watch the first clip released of the film on Youtube.
Anyone who complains they don’t make love stories like they used to will get a kick out of “The Young Victoria,” a biopic of the early years of Blighty’s longest-reigning queen and, in particular, her courtship with the love of her life, Prince Albert. Tip-top casting and playing, led by young thesps Emily Blunt and Rupert Friend as the royal lovebirds, a succulently crisp script by Julian Fellowes (“Gosford Park”) and trim helming by French-Canadian Jean-Marc Vallee (“C.R.A.Z.Y.”) combine in well-groomed, upscale, three-hankie entertainment for the “Masterpiece Theater” crowd. Pic bows in the U.K. March 6.
While I have yet to find an official source, it seems Mark Strong, who will play Guy of Gisbourne in Nottingham, has hinted that Cate Blanchett has agreed to play Marion.
Mark Strong has hinted that Cate Blanchett will star as Maid Marian in Ridley Scott’s Nottingham.
Strong, who has signed up to play Sir Guy of Gisbourne in the production, revealed the casting news at the London Film Critics’ Circle Awards.
“I think Cate Blanchett is set to take the Maid Marian part,” he told The Telegraph. “She is a wonderful actress and it would make it a much classier film if she was in it.”
There is a new promotional ad for The Tudors showing on Showtime. It’s called “God Save the Queen” and briefly shows all the queens that have appeared on the show so far. It also uses the famous rhyme for the fates of Henry VIII’s wives: “Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived.”
