'CATHERINE THE GREAT'
LAVISH HISTORICAL TV SERIES
You know, Scandinavians have VIKINGS, Italians have BORGIAS, Brits have TUDORS, so why wouldn't dear mother Russia have her own epic show depicting a part of their glorious and heroic history! Russian Channel One is preparing a lavishly epic historical series CATHERINE THE GREAT with Yulia Snigir playing the legendary Russian tzarina! The first season of 12 episodes, to arrive to the small screens in December, will capture the period from 1744 to 1762. She arrived from Germany to Russia as a German princess who will become the wife of Peter Fedorovich, the successor of the Russian throne. After being taught how to rule by Russian empress Elizabeth, 17 years later during the 1762 palace  revolution Catherine's husband was dethroned and she ascended to the throne as the new Empress of Russia. From arriving to the foreign country as a young girl to becoming the ruler of world's biggest empire, decades of her life were filled with treacherous games of high society, conspiracies, intrigues, betrayals and infidelities! Russian moviemaker Igor Zaytsev is helming the series which was done in the luxurious style seen in TUDORS and ROME. The second and the third season are expected to cover the years of her rule after the revolution! 

SIX THOUSAND COSTUMES
As you can see from the pictures, the costumes in CATHERINE THE GREAT will be extremely lavish. More than one hundred gowns will be worn by Yulia Snigir in the show and none of the dresses is lighter than 20 pounds! Most of the gowns have been taken from the archives, while the coronation and wedding dress are exact replicas of the real historical ones! Some of the massive scenes include thousands of male and female costumes and five thousand military vestments!


'THE LAST PANTHERS' TV SHOW
SAMANTHA MORTON, JOHN HURT & TAHAR RAHIM IN HEIST SERIES
In other TV news, UK's Sky Atlantic has chosen Oscar nominees Samantha Morton and John Hurt, and Tahar Rahim to star in their new series THE LAST PANTHERS! Based on the true story of legendary Serbian bank robbers Pink Panthers who stole over $136 million worth jewellery, the six part series will open with a daring diamond heist before quickly delving into the heart of Europe where a shadowy alliance of gangsters and ‘banksters’ now rules. Morton will play a British loss adjuster charged with recovering the stolen diamonds whatever the cost, with Hurt as her nefarious boss. Rahim will chase the thieves as a French Algerian policeman! The show will be shot in UK, Serbia and France in their three languages.
RUTGER HAUER JOINS 'GALAVANT'
Meanwhile, ABC has cast Rutger Hauer in their musical historical comedy show GALAVANT in which Joshua Sasse plays a knight taking on the evil King Richard (Timothy Omundson) who stole the woman he loved. Hauer will play Kingsley, King Richard’s older, bigger and more badass brother who will threaten his little brother’s rule — and since he is a man so destined to be a great king that his parents named him Kingsley. GALAVANT's hilarious guest star cast also includes John Stamos as a dashing knight, Hugh Bonneville as landlocked pirate Peter the Pillager, Ricky Gervais as a medieval magician  Xanax, and Weird Al Yankovic as a singing monk.

EVA LONGORIA
ABC & NBC BOTH WANT HER TO TOPLINE THEIR SITCOMS
Two big networks are currently trying to lure Eva Longoria over to their side: both NBC and ABC want her to topline their new sitcoms. If she opts to star in NBC's TELENOVELA comedy, which she developed herself, she will play an ambitious telenovela star who struggles to stay on top in a world where the drama on-camera is nothing compared to the drama off-camera. If she chooses the untitled sitcom at ABC she will play a successful home renovator who can’t stop problem solving when she leaves the job site – especially when it comes to her boyfriend, her family, a random delivery guy, and basically everyone she comes into contact with. Eva Longoria's production company has already sold a number of different new TV series projects both to NBC and ABC for the upcoming developmental season. 


KIM STANLEY ROBINSON'S 'MARS'
TRILOGY FOR TV ADAPTATION!
Beside Ancient Egyptian series TUT with Ben Kingsley, Spike TV is preparing another epic series: 'Deadline' writes that they will turn Kim Stanley Robinson's science fiction Mars saga into RED MARS TV show! To be written by GAME OF THRONE's producer Vince Gerardis, the story will chronicle the settlement and terraforming of the planet Mars through the intensely personal and detailed viewpoints of a wide variety of characters spanning almost two centuries. More utopian than dystopian, the story focuses on egalitarian, sociological, and scientific advances made on Mars, while Earth suffers from overpopulation and ecological disaster.

AARON PAUL JOINS JAMIE DORNAN
 In today's casting updates from Tinseltown, 'Variety' reports that Aaron Paul will join Irish superhunk Jamie Dornan in THE 9TH LIFE OF LOUIS DRAX a big screen adaptation of Liz Jensen's bestselling novel!

'LIFE ON THE LINE' 
KATE BOSWORTH & JOHN TRAVOLTA HEAD FOR DISASTER
Now, we've seen movies on all possible disasters, from earthquakes and floods, to tsunamis, volcanoes and extreme blizzards, and we've seen INTO THE STORM being deservedly trashed for horrid acting and bad filming this summer, but we haven't seen a movie about electricians fighting a brewing storm! John Travolta, Kate Bosworth and Dewon Sava will star in LIFE ON THE LINE, which will follow a crew of electrical lineman, who work high above the ground to fix the electrical grid and struggle to maintain their relationships with the women they love. But they will face serious danger when a massive storm threatens the place they live in.

NEW TV COMEDIES
JOHN KRASINSKI TO PRODUCE TWO SITCOMS FOR NBC
In TV news three new sitcoms have been bought by major networks! Deadline reports that John Krasinski will produce two untitled comedy series for NBC!. The first one will centre on a disgraced law student who, out of options, is forced to turn to the exotic and lucrative world of NYC garbage collection. The second one will follow a middle aged ad executive who unexpectedly  loses his job and cobbles together a ragtag team to launch his own grassroots agency from his garage.
FOLLOW YOUR HEART AT ABC
ABC has, meanwhile, opted for a romantic sitcom FOLLOW YOUR HEART from Aaron Kaplan about a widow and single mother who, after having given up on love, finds herself drawn to the new guy in her building. That’s because, unbeknownst to her, he was the recipient of her husband’s heart.

JOHN WOO'S 'CROSSING' TRAILER
 TAKESHI KANESHIRO AND ZIYI ZHANG IN EPIC DRAMA
And I have something truly epic in the video department today for you: first trailer for John Woo's THE CROSSING which arrives into Chinese theatres this December. I told you a few years ago that the film will follow a true story of a steamer ship dubbed Taiping, which sunk  between China and Taiwan during the Chinese Revolution in 1949, claiming the lives of over 1,500 people who were fleeing to the island after the war. The movie consists of a number of intertwining love stories of people caught up in the sinking, and one of them involves a couple played by our most beloved Chinese superstars Ziyi Zhang and Takeshi Kaneshiro. It is interesting that the epic movie was shot in two parts with the sequel sailing into cinemas next May! It is Woo's first movie after legendary RED CLIFF!

TRAILERS FOR DELIGHTFUL 'ELSA AND FRED' ROMANTIC DRAMA WITH CHRISTOPHER PLUMMER AND SHIRLEY MACLAINE, AND DEEPLY MOVING FOR 'NOBLE' WITH DEIDRE O'KANE, LIAM CUNNINGHAM, BRENDAN COYLE

MOVING 'NOBLE' TRAILER
A DREAM THAT CHANGED A MILLION LIVES
Two trailers for you today, starting with a deeply moving one for inspiring Irish drama NOBLE which comes to British theatres next year. Starring Deidre O'Kane, Liam Cunningham and Brendan Coyle, the story is set in Vietnam,1989. Fourteen years after the end of the war. When Irish woman Christina Noble flies into Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon) she leaves behind an extraordinary life story. But the best is yet to come. Christina lands in a country "that she wouldn't be able to show you on a map". With a few dollars, a dream and her own hard-won courage, she  is about to change everything. For hundreds of thousands of people. Forever. NOBLE is the inspirational true story of a woman who believes that it only takes one person to make a difference. And of how she is proved right.


'ELSA AND FRED' TRAILER
 CHRISTOPHER PLUMMER & SHIRLEY MACLAINE - IT'S NEVER TOO LATE FOR A DREAM LOVE
Do I have a delightful trailer for you today, people: it's the first one for ELSA AND FRED romantic drama which arrives into cinemas November 6th! Christopher Plummer and Shirley MacLaine play the titular characters in the story of two people who at the end of the road, discover that it's never too late to love and make dreams come true. Elsa has lived for the past 60 years dreaming of a moment that Fellini had already envisaged: the scene in 'La Dolce Vita' at the Fontana di Trevi. The same scene without Anita Ekberg in it, but with Elsa instead. Without Marcello Mastroiani but with that love that took so long to arrive. Fred has always been a good man who did everything he was supposed to do. After losing his wife, he feels disturbed and confused and his daughter (Marcia Gay Harden) decides that it would be best if he moves into a smaller apartment where he ends meeting Elsa. From that moment on, everything changes. Elsa bursts into his life like a whirlwind, determined to teach him that the time he has left to live - be it more or less - is precious and that he should enjoy it as he pleases. Fred surrenders to Elsa's frenzy, to her youth, to her boldness, to her beautiful madness. George Segal, Scott Bakula and James Brolin also star!

INSPIRING NEW SONGS: ANASTACIA'S 'STARING AT THE SUN', HEARTWARMING 'SUPERHEROES' FROM IRISH BAND THE SCRIPT, POWERFUL 'LULLABY' FROM PROFESSOR GREEN & TORY KELLY!

ANASTACIA IS
STARING AT THE SUN!
Continuing our tradition of spotlighting some fresh new music at the end of the week, today I'm playing some inspiring new pop tunes for you, starting with one of the best pop vocals in music history, magnificent Anastacia who returned to the music scene earlier this year with the new album RESURRECTION (this is what her name means in Greek) after battling two cancers in recent years. STARING AT THE SUN is her second single from the album with the video shot as a short artsy movie with Anastacia appearing only in glimpses (if I got it right she suffered hernia and couldn't be at the set).


THE SCRIPT
HOW SUPERHERO LEARNS TO FLY
My favourite band in the world (after One Republic), brilliant Irish trio The Script, have released the first single from their new album NO SOUND WITHOUT SILENCE, and as always the song, titled SUPERHEROES, has outstandingly inspiring lyrics:
When you've been fighting for it all your life
You've been struggling to make things right
That’s how a superhero learns to fly
Every day, every hour Turn the pain into power!
Unlike most of todays trashy videos with empty glitz, Danny O'Donoghue and the guys have shot the video in African slums celebrating everyday heroes who rise when it is the toughest.


PROFESSOR GREEN
SING ME THE LAST LULLABY
And the last song today comes from British musician Professor Green whom you know as the author of one of the most powerful pop songs in last few decades, the Olympic anthem READ ALL ABOUT IT which he did with Emeli Sande. His new song is called LULLABY and the chorus in it is sung by Tory Kelly. The song is taken from his upcoming album GROWING UP IN PUBLIC.
All the time I have layed in your love
When your love kept me safe through the night
All the time I was sure you were mine
And before time demands our goodbye
Can you sing me a last lullaby?

PRIZE WINNING 'MOMMY' TO
REPRESENT CANADA AT OSCARS

Young Xavier Dolan has won Jury Prize at this year's Cannes Film Festival directing the movie which stars Anne Dorval, Antoine Olivier Pilon and Suzanne Clément.

TIM BURTON'S 'BIG EYES' TRAILER WITH AMY ADAMS, CHRISTOPH WALTZ. ASTRID BERGES FRISBEY IS CHARLIE HUNNAM'S GUIENEVERE IN 'KING ARTHUR: KNIGHTS OF THE ROUND TABLE'! 1ST 'PARTNERS IN CRIME' BBC SERIES PIC WITH DAVID WALLIAMS

ASTRID BERGES FRISBEY 
 IS GUINEVERE IN 'KING ARTHUR KNIGHTS OF THE ROUND TABLE'
According to 'Deadline' Guy Ritchie has cast Astrid Berges Frisbey from the PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN (she was the mermaid) to portray medieval queen Guinevere in KING ARTHUR: KNIGHTS OF THE ROUND TABLE. She will join Charlie Hunnam, who plays the king, and Idris Elba, as his mentor who teaches him how to become a warrior. She will play the unfaithful and ungrateful queen after she won the role competing against Alicia Vikander, Felicity Jones and Elizabeth Olsen. Warner Bros. is planning this as possible six movies franchise, but I'm not sure it will happen with such a bland cast.

'PARTNERS IN CRIME'
DAVID WALLIAMS IN AGATHA CHRISTIE SERIES AT BBC ONE
Meanwhile, BBC has released the first image of David Walliams and Jessica Raine in their upcoming six part Agatha Christie series PARTNERS IN CRIME. To air in 2015 marking the 125th anniversary of Agatha's birth, the series will see them play a married couple of detectives solving cases in the 1950s!

'BIG EYES' TRAILER
AMY ADAMS AND CHRISTOPH WALTZ IN A TIM BURTON FILM
The first trailer has been released today for Tim Burton's new drama BIG EYES which is out this Christmas as a true story of Walter Keane (Christoph Waltz), one of the most successful painters of the 1950s. He earned staggering notoriety by revolutionizing the commercialization and accessibility of popular art with his enigmatic paintings of waifs with big eyes. The truth would eventually be discovered though: Keane's art was actually not created by him at all, but by his wife, Margaret (Amy Adams). The Keanes, it seemed, had been living a lie that had grown to gigantic proportions. BIG EYES centres on Margaret's awakening as an artist, the phenomenal success of her paintings, and her tumultuous relationship with her husband, who was catapulted to international fame while taking credit for her work.
