Zorral Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 O dear -- https://hollywood-spy.blogspot.com/2023/07/arthurian-fantasy-tv-series-pendragon.html Daily Wire's streaming service Daily Wire + is set to launch its biggest production ever from September in Europe turning Stephen R. Lawhead's fantasy Arthurian saga THE PENDRAGON CYCLE into a seven episode fantasy series under the helm of Jeremy Boreing! With an international cast, the filming will commence in Hungary and Italy which excludes them from the strike in USA. Based on the first two books of the series, it will be a retelling of the Arthurian legend, set not in the high Medieval age of knights in shining armor, but in the wake of a Roman occupied Britain, where the seeds of Christianity are beginning to take root. As barbarian invaders threaten to lay claim to the island, those with faith prevail. It will stream on Daily Wire + next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ran Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 (edited) There were a lot of post 9/11 films that included various footage related to the terrorist attack and deaths. There's an endless number of films that show repurposed footage of civil unrest where people were injured or even killed, and even outright footage from the midst of wars, to tell dystopian stories. Why is this particular thing triggering people? My guess: the fact that everyone who is reacting probably watched the on-line footage of the Beirut when it happened, possibly many times and from many perspectives, and so it feels more "real" than footage from more years ago which weren't as inundated with footage. I'd be bothered if the explosion was being used to represent something that wasn't mass death, and wasn't treated as something tragic, but in the trailer makes it plain it's been used to represent the AI-led nuclear attacks against humanity.

AncalagonTheBlack Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Game Of Throne’s Jack Gleeson Makes A Comeback Looking Unrecognizable In New ‘Famous Five’ Role Years After Quitting Acting https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2023/jul/26/jack-gleeson-game-of-thrones-return-screens-famous-five-bbc Quote After playing roles in independent theatre, as well as on the BBC miniseries Out of Her Mind, he will now appear as Wentworth in the much-anticipated adaptation of Enid Blyton’s children’s books. Adapted by Nicolas Winding Refn, whose films include Drive, Only God Forgives, the Pusher trilogy and The Neon Demon, the series follows five explorers as they encounter treacherous, action-packed adventures, mysteries and secrets. It is unclear which of Blyton’s 21 books will form the basis for the three 90-minute episodes. Gleeson will also appear in the upcoming Irish thriller film In the Land of Saints and Sinners, which stars Liam Neeson and Kerry Condon.

SpaceChampion Posted August 16 Author Share Posted August 16 (edited) I don't know if the fan campaign helped, but apparently Warrior Nuns is continuing as a trilogy of movies. And now it'll be a franchise with spin-offs? The series was ok, not terribly deep, so whatever. It's got it's LGBTQ fan base to float that ship.

Martell Spy Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Jonathan Bailey and Matt Bomer-Led 'Fellow Travelers' Sets Fall Release Date The limited series is based on Thomas Mallon's novel of the same name. https://collider.com/fellow-travelers-series-release-date/ Quote Their romantic involvement coincides with the era of Joseph McCarthy and Roy Cohn, who wage a campaign against those deemed "subversives and sexual deviants." This marks one of the darkest periods in 20th-century American history. The series spans four decades, tracing the paths of the main characters - Hawkins, Tim, Marcus, Lucy, and Frankie - as they navigate through events like the Vietnam War protests, the hedonism of the disco era, and the AIDS crisis. Amid these historical events, they also confront personal challenges and growth. The first of Fellow Travelers' 8-episode run will premiere on October 27 on Paramount+ with Showtime before debuting on Showtime on October 29 Mindwalker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceChampion Posted August 19 Author Share Posted August 19 (edited) The Peripheral cancelled / unrenewed. Quote EXCLUSIVE: Prime Video will not be going forward with the previously ordered second season of its sci-fi drama series The Peripheral, starring Chloë Grace Moretz, Deadline has learned. I hear The Peripheral is not the only Amazon scripted series whose renewal has been rescinded and there is at least one other series that won’t go to a second season. According to sources, the cancellation stems from the length of the work stoppage due to the ongoing WGA strike, now in its 109th day, and the SAG-AFTRA strike, in Day 36, which have delayed production, creating large gaps between seasons and making shows miss their target release dates. While this is the first known case of a renewal reversal amid the current strike, as Deadline reported earlier this week, there may be more series whose renewals could be rescinded or pending pickups not happen if the work stoppage stretches past Labor Day, with freshman series going into Season 2 the most vulnerable. There was a similar string of unrenewals during the pandemic. There's at least one other Prime show unrenewed for season 2 prior to filming. I guess something like Citadel.
