I really just thought it would be some plastic looking CGI thing. I think the original movie was actually really not that great, nowhere near as good as Labyrinth, but it had some beautifully designed creatures and haunting ideas. I'm sure there is scope to create something really good here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The movie was disappointing in comparison for sure, but the novelization had photos from the movie that overbuilt my expectations.

Zorral Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Has anyone encountered more news, more recent than 2017, about the Poldark creators' proposed production of a series from Dorothy Dunnett's Lymond Chronicles? or any of her other works that supposedly have been optioned?

Ran Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Nothing to speak of. I feel like they probably gave up on it. I don't mind if that's the case. No adaptation could capture Dunnett's joyous erudition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No adaptation could capture Dunnett's joyous erudition. I'm not sure about that. Such a quality shows up brilliantly in Paul Giamatti's Chuck Rhoades in Billions. It takes writers though, who know the time the characters inhabit, and what they would know well -- and know it well themselves. But the thing is, when it comes to period and action films, the spectacle and action eventually push out the psychology, character, plot and history, because, oddly enough, the spectacle and action are easier to do -- duh, it is moving pictures after all. It even happens in visualization of books by Jane Austen. More ball rooms! less story! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astromech Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 I am eagerly waiting for The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. Looking forward to Jett as well. Cinemax usually has fun shows and I love Carla Gugino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On twitter you can find some tweets from 2018 that seem to indicate a pilot script was written and BBC asked for some changes and in the meantime the screenwriter was committed to other projects and couldn't work on it right away but that its still on the pipeline. Most of these tweets are from mid 2018 so nothing more recent than that. *fingers crossed* that it eventually happens. ETA: Appears it is Gwyneth Hughes who is the screenwriter. Her agent has it listed on her bio and Mammoth Screen tagged her in a tweet when they said they were working on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AncalagonTheBlack Posted May 30, 2019 Author Share Posted May 30, 2019 ‘Gomorrah’ Producer Cattleya Producing Latin-Language Drama ‘Romulus’ Quote Gomorrah producer Cattleya is making a TV drama about Romulus, the founder and first king of Rome, in archaic Latin for Sky Italia. ITV Studios Global Entertainment will handle international sales. The ITV-owned producer is producing Romulus, created by Matteo Rovere, who directed The First King feature. It marks Rovere’s television debut. The ten-part series is co-produced by Rovere’s Groenlandia and will start filming in Rome in early June. It will star Andrea Arcangeli (Trust), Marianna Fontana (Indivisible) and Francesco Di Napoli (Piranhas) with Rovere directing alongside Michele Alhaique and Enrico Maria Artale. It is written by Rovere, Filippo Gravino (The First King) and Guido Iuculano (A Quiet Life). The series is set in eighth century B.C., in a primitive and brutal world in which man’s fate is decided by the merciless power of nature and the gods. It is the story of Romulus and his twin brother Remus, as seen through the eyes of three people marked by death, loneliness and violence: Iemos, Wiros and the young vestal Ilia. Rounding out the cast are Giovanni Buselli (My Brilliant Friend), Silvia Calderoni (Bloody Richard), Sergio Romano (Il Campione), Demetra Avincola (Lucky), Massimiliano Rossi (The First King), Ivana Lotito (Gomorrah), Gabriel Montesi (Made in Italy) and Vanessa Scalera (Lea).

This will be interesting, as Gomorrah, an excellent television series, did such a good job employing more than one language: local dialect, Italian, English, Spanish, etc. There has been speculation on what the next 'GOT' will be. This could be it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean that period of time was full of extra ordinary drama to the point where the Rome tv series couldn’t pack it all in.. but i agree. Interested in this tv show, especially as I’m currently reading SPQR by Mary Beard. I didn’t realise how disputed Rome’s founding story actually was.

Interested in this tv show, especially as I’m currently reading SPQR by Mary Beard. I didn’t realise how disputed Rome’s founding story actually was. I can totally see the lure given the players involved and documents backing it up but there are lots of other fascinating eras so good to see them get some attention. SPQR is a great read. Despite wanting to see other eras in TV i really can't get enough of reading different historians take on events from the gracchi brothers to Augustus. It does seem there are multiple versions particularly with the fate of the brothers and who they were raised by. I'm guessing the show is more likely to go with the idea that the she-wolf was also slang for prostitute as it'd be easier to film but it depends how grounded they want to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
