shadowkat1. Mary Queen of Scots - film based on the 2004 biography The True Life of Mary Stuart by John Guy
Stage director Josie Rourke is directing the title, which is written by House Of Cards creator Beau Willimon and based on the 2004 biography by John Guy, The True Life Of Mary Stuart. Working Title’s Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner and Debra Hayward are producing. Pic is expected to begin shooting this summer.
Crowned the queen of Scotland before she was a year old, Mary added to that pedigree when her first husband became France’s king and she became queen consort in 1559. Despite that auspicious start, things didn’t go well form there. She later married her first cousin, Lord Darnley, a bad match that ended with his murder.
When she quickly married Bothwell, who was suspected of orchestrating the killing, an uprising against the couple resulted in her being imprisoned in Loch Leven Castle. Forced to abdicate her throne to her year-old son, she failed in an attempt to wrest back the throne and fled for the protection of her cousin, England’s Queen Elizabeth I. Mary had once claimed to be the rightful Queen of England, a view embraced by Catholics. Perceived as a threat by her cousin, she was confined and ultimately executed for complicity in a plot to assassinate Elizabeth.
Hmm.
2. From EW Magazine, some interesting fall flicks:
Professor Marston and the Wonder Women --basically a film about the psychologist, William Moulton Marston, who created Wonder Woman and his psychologist wife and their mutual romantic partner Olivia Byrne.
Goodbye Christopher Robin -- this isn't what I thought it was going to be about. Domhnall Gleeson portrays AA Milne who returns from WWI, damaged and downtrodden, and is struggling to adjust to life after war, he does so by reconnecting to his son, Christopher Robin. It also depicts what happens after Winnie the Pooh becomes a worldwide phenomenon and Christopher Robin the most famous kid in the world and the toll that takes on the family.
3. Hee Hee Hee... or rather omg, LMAOOOO!But you do have to be patient and get to the midway part, when they actually perform the musical in the middle of a California Intersection Cross Walk in LA.
