DRAGONRIDERS OF PERN TO
FLY INTO BATTLE AT WARNER BROS!
I've announced this a few years ago but now it's back on track: Warner Bros. has bought the rights on all the novels in the DRAGONRIDERS OF PERN fantasy saga by Anne McCaffrey which could replace THE HOBBIT franchise which ends this winter. The series of 22 epic fantasy novels, first published back in 1968, revolve around a group of elite warriors and their dragons, with whom they share telepathic bonds, who take to the skies trying to save their exotic home planet of Pern from a deadly airborne threat, a rain of spores that hails from the orbit of the Red Star.

BBC'S WAR AND PEACE CASTS
LILY JAMES AND PAUL DANO
Sometime ago I've announced that BBC is preparing new mini series on Tolstoy's WAR AND PEACE historical saga and the latest update is that Lily James and Paul Dano are in negotiations for the roles. Lily would play Natasha Rostova who falls in love with Pierre Bezukhov, to be played by Dano, an illegitimate son who rises in society but leads a tumultuous life as he seeks to overcome his emotions. To be aired next year in six episodes, the mini series will be written by Andrew Davies known for MR. SELFRIDGE. The novel is set in 1805 Russia following five aristocratic families set against the backdrop of the reign of Alexander I, the lingering effects of his grandmother Catherine The Great’s rule and the events surrounding Napoleon’s invasion of Russia in 1812!

However, the best new addition to the REIGN cast in the second season will be our most beloved Craig Parker (we positively adored him in LORD OF THE RINGS, SPARTACUS and LEGEND OF THE SEEKER) who will play Narcisse, a brilliant, gorgeous, sexual, and fierce, a devout Catholic with a “death grip” on French Court. But every man has his Achilles heel, and in this case, Narcisse will meet his match in Catherine de Medici.
