JOSEPH FIENNES IN 'NOSTRADAMUS' HISTORICAL TV SERIES! SANDRA BULLOCK IN TUPPERWARE MOVIE! JUNE DIANE RAPHALE JOINS JANE FONDA, LILY TOMLIN, MARTIN SHEEN IN 'GRACE AND FRANKIE' SITCOM

SANDRA BULLOCK

IS THE QUEEN OF TUPPER- WARE MARKETING IN A NEW MOVIE

If you're wondering what's Sandra Bullock been up to, she is heading towards kitchen: she will star in the big screen adaptation of Bob Kealing's book TUPPERWARE UNSEALED as the expert who launched Tupperware through famous parties that made the storage product a household name and into the multibillion company it still is today. 'Deadline' reports that Tate Taylor (The Help, Get On Up) will adapt, produce and direct this fun story about a divorcee from Detroit who convinced a plastics inventor to let her go crazy marketing a good product which, up until then, was getting little attention from consumers. The story will focus on her start and the clashes that she had with the company founder Tupper that led to her leaving the company (she left when he sold the company for $15 million, offering her only $35,000 as compensation).

TELEVISION HEADLINES

JOSEPH FIENNES TOPLINES 'NOSTRADAMUS' EPIC TV SERIES
And in TV news today it seems that Joseph Fiennes will again go psychic after miserably failing with his neurotic depiction of Merlin in CAMELOT. He will play the lead role in new television series on famous NOSTRADAMUS! Carnival Films, who are behind DOWNTON ABBEY, are making the historical series about the seer in 16th century France who became world renowned for his self professed ability to predict the future. With story set against the world of the French Royal Court, NOSTRADAMUS will be a complex, brooding character with immense appetites, a charismatic and self destructive man who is plagued with dangerous and disturbing visions and who seeks vengeance for the murder of his family. As you know you can also see the famous clairvoyant in CW's REIGN historical show.

JUNE DIANE RAPHAEL JOINS JANE FONDA & LILY TOMLIN IN 'GRACE & FRANKIE' SITCOM
Over at Netflix, June Diane Raphael has joined the cast of hilarious new sitcom GRACE AND FRANKIE which will see Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin playing long-time rivals who form a bond when their husbands declare their love for each other. In the Marta Kauffman (FRIENDS) created comedy series Martin Sheen and Sam Waterston will play the newly gay husbands, while Raphael has been cast as the daughter of Grace (Fonda) and Robert (Sheen), who has always rebelled against Grace's insistence on keeping up appearances, but finds that her own bluntness serves her well when she takes over her mother's beauty line.

FAMILY MONDAY: DELIGHTFUL NEW 'DOLPHIN TALE 2' AND 'THE GOOD DINOSAUR' POSTERS! DISNEY'S 'MOANA' ANIMATED ADVENTURE MOVIE ON A POLYNESIAN PRINCESS

DOLPHIN TALE 2

LOVELY NEW POSTERS ARE HERE

We're having a family Monday today at HOLLYWOOD SPY with new pics and posters from upcoming family movies, starting with the charming new posters for the DOLPHIN TALE 2 sequel which will swim into theatres this October! It has been several years since young Sawyer Nelson and the dedicated team at the Clearwater Marine Hospital, headed by Dr. Clay Haskett (Harry Connick Jr), rescued Winter. With the help of Dr. Cameron McCarthy (Morgan Freeman), who developed a unique prosthetic tail for the injured dolphin, they were able to save her life. Yet their fight is not over. Winter's surrogate mother, the very elderly dolphin Panama, has passed away, leaving Winter without the only poolmate she has ever known. However, the loss of Panama may have even greater repercussions for Winter, who, according to USDA regulations, cannot be housed alone, as dolphins' social behaviour requires them to be paired with other dolphins. Time is running out to find a companion for her before the team at Clearwater loses their beloved Winter to another aquarium. Ashley Judd is also in the cast.

THE GOOD DINOSAUR

1ST POSTER FOR PIXAR'S MOVIE
Another thing to check out today is the first poster for Pixar's THE GOOD DINOSAUR which is expected in cinemas in December 2015 following animated adventures of Arlo, a 70-foot-tall teenage Apatosaurus, who befriends a young human boy named Spot. Neil Patrick Harris, John Lithgow and Judy Greer are in the cast!

POLYNESIAN MOANA IS DISNEY'S

NEW CLASSIC PRINCESS

After the huge successes of FROZEN, TANGLED and BRAVE, all eyes are turned over at Disney in anticipation of their new animated movies in the hope that we could get another classic set of animated characters and another memorable fairy tale on the big screen. Planned to appear in cinemas in March 2018 is MOANA, an exotic Polynesian story, set 2000 years ago, of Moana Waialiki, a sea voyaging enthusiast, and the only daughter of a chief in a long line of navigators. When her family needs her help, she sets off on an epic journey. The film will also include demi-gods and spirits taken from real mythology.

DID YOU KNOW?  
Ron Clements, who helmed THE LITTLE MERMAID, ALADDIN, HERCULES and THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG is directing together with John Musker who co-directed all those movies together with him. Mark Mancina (THE LION KING, TARZAN, PLANES) is composing the music. MOANA will be Disney's first Polynesian princess! And since Disney's previous movies had adjectival titles, the are rumours that MOANA could be changed into SPIRITED! Before this Disney will release GIANTS classic animated movie based on JACK AND THE BEANSTALK, and after it comes KING OF THE ELVES in 2019 about a band of elves living in modern day Mississippi delta.
