Where are the former leading ladies now? With all the recent chatter and Raymond deTerville comparisons to Guy of Gisborne, took a peek at Lucy Griffiths twitter timeline and saw this recent photo. Lady Marian is looking lovely..
The particular velvety growl you seek can be heard in last few seconds. "To follow is to love" Really? ;D
First of all, thank you to the www.richardarmitagenet.com website for following pic. Second, had a great chuckle upon seeing this behind the scenes Spooks 9 photo for the first time today. Hardiest chuckle was to see my favorite Game of Thrones character Sir Jorah(Iain Glen) patiently waiting in the background to be momentarily stabbed in the leg by Lucas North, and also to notice USMC(United States Marine Corps) on a crew members tshirt. Or might it be an abbreviation for UK Spooks Muncipal Crewmember?;)..although the color of the tshirt is khaki which would be appropriate for the US Marines. Maybe the tshirt wearer was on-set security? He does look very focused on surroundings. The photo..
Interview with Into The Storm(fka:Black Sky) writer John Swetnam:EXCERPT:
How did your childhood as an “air force kid” influence you?
I moved around every two or three years and lived all around the world. I was born in South Carolina and lived in Japan, England, Korea and all over the states, Northern Maine, Southern Maine, Tennessee, Florida and Southern California. I think moving every two or three year is why I like movies so much.
Because of Evidence, Todd Garner, a big time producer who has produced 100’s of movies, emailed my agent saying he had read and liked some of the found footage I had done. It was a three word email and it said, “Inspirational, tornado and POV.” I had lived in Nashville and my friends lost everything in a tornado and as soon as I saw those three words, I knew exactly how to tell this story in a very different way.That one’s already done, we’ve just screened it last weekend and it will be probably be coming out next year. It’s a studio picture from New Line Cinema/Warner Brothers. It will be my first, big, big, big movie. Have you seen Twister? It’s like Twister, but with a fresh twist. When I saw it with the audience, it was unbelievable and so big and the special effects are absolutely amazing. The director used to work for James Cameron for 20 years and he’s this genius of framing and effects and I was just blown away. That will be the big one and then..The thing with directing is that even though I never wanted to be a director, I do want to direct, because I’ve gotten to work with some really great directors and I learned so much from Olatunde and Stephen Quale from Into the Storm (fka Black Sky)..http://www.allstephenmoyer.com/exclusive-interview-with-evidence-writer-john-swetnam/
New Series REIGN --EXCERPT: THE FIRST IMPRESSION |Well knock me over with a feather. Upon watching the cutdown for this unlikely CW offering at the Upfronts, I instantly penciled it in for a short run. I perhaps didn’t “get it,” or, more likely, my eyes had glazed over from the trailers for the network’smyriadnew sci-fi shows. But in viewing this pilot in full,Reignjust might emerge a sleeper hit (by CW standards). It could be that its stark differences (era, setting) fromVampire Diaries, Arrow, Hart of Dixieand the like will make it “pop,” or that its super-sudsy themes (love! lust! betrayal! infidelity! voyeurism! self-pleasure! wait, what?) will reel in the abandonedGossip Girlcrowd. (For good measure, thereisa whiff of supernatural hullabaloo thrown in.) The cast is uniformly fine — Kane gives Mary a root-for quality, but Regbo reads a bit ripe — with everyone amusingly doing some variation on a British-y accent that is neither French nor Scottish. C’est la vie!
Dracula (starring Jonathan Rhys Meyers) aka Henry VIII;) is a forthcoming British-American limited seriestelevision drama that is expected to air on NBC and Sky Living produced by Carnival Films. Dracula will premiere on October 25, 2013, and will air on Fridays 10/9c
Really wish all those who insist on acting like primadonnas - by negatively criticizing tiny inaccuracies such as rainpipes and zippers - would remember it's very easy to be a naysayer. It's difficult enough to find well done historic sagas without having to listen to nonsensical picayunishness about trifles, when a good one has actually been produced.

Enjoying the beautifully designed sets for new series The White Queen..
Richard III and Anne Neville - tune in Sat for ep 2, Starz,The White Queen..
In Ghent filming took place in the Castle of the Counts (Gravensteen), Saint Peter's Abbey (Sint-Pietersabdij), Saint Bavo's Abbey (Sint-Baafsabdij), Cloth hall (Lakenhalle), Castle of Gerald the Devil (Geeraard de Duivelsteen), Saint Bavo Cathedral (Sint-Baafskathedraal), and Agustijnklooster (Academiestraat).
Additional filming took place at Rumbeke, in Damme, and at Ursel Airfield – 23 locations for the first three episodes. The rest of the set was constructed at a nearby Philips factory.[20]
Following is Jonia's newly discovered Spooks 9 photo..I prefer the original pic below, which includes Iain Glen playing Vaughn, because he has recently become my fav Game of Thrones2 character. As Daney's valiant protector - Ser Jorah - he's nudged Tyrion off that GoT pedestal. The husky-voiced, rugged(in a good way) Scottish laird attitude might have a great deal to do with it:) along w/the fact he's another superb actor..
After Thorin rides in his barrel to Laketown, look at the clever way he can convert it into a useful piece of furniture. Fortunate Thorin is a do-it-yourselfer/handyman, isn't it;) See Thorin in his barrel below..
VOTING STRATEGY for Success in The One Ring's March Madness Poll:
They allow 3 votes per person for different entries, however, if we cast one vote only - and of course make it for Thorin Oakenshield, we can pretty much assure he'll be included on the final list. By voting for 3 of them, we would actually be diluting the chances for Thorin's inclusion on that list.
Interesting news: The couple who discovered RA for the Thorin role, plus Kate Winslet, Orlando Bloom, etc will receive an award. Excerpt follows from the article:
>For the husband-and-wife team, there is nothing quite like the moment when they come across an unknown talent and realize that the actor is going to be a star, such as when they first met Winslet when she was 15 as they were casting Peter Jackson's "Heavenly Creatures."
So what do they look for?
"It's a mix of intelligence and strength, and a sense that there is something special," says John Hubbard.
"Alan Parker says it is a word called 'magic,' " adds Ros Hubbard. "You get excited by it, because you feel this guy or this girl is brilliant and they are going to make it."<
[Ricrar comment: We know exactly the feeling, don't we ladies :) Yes, we definitely did get excited about discovering the magic of someone special on screen. It's been an exhilarating journey, every step of the way for some of you (past 2.5 yrs for me) up to the moment when the Hubbards recognized Richard's unique talents as well - high fives all around *slapping each other on backs*] http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118032408?refcatid=19
Would appear someone, besides RA, sometimes uses the thumbs up signal...(director Jackson:)
If the upcoming start of filming for The Hobbit doesn’t get you excited that a new Tolkien movie is being made by the same people who brought us the LOTR trilogy; here’s something that may. One of the spies for TheOneRing.Net got extremely close to the sets at the Miramar studios and managed to snap some shots. While the sets are still being constructed, the general consensus is that the pillars are part of the Lonely Mountain set.
The LOTR trilogy used Alan Lee and John Howe’s previous paintings as a basis for its look. That’ll naturally continue with The Hobbit, and some people have pointed out how the top of the pillars look a lot like Alan Lee’s paintings...(see photos at the onering.net website)
Read an article describing this year's Oscar Ceremony's schedule to see if there's anything of interest and found that Cate Blanchett will introduce a clip from Lord of the Rings prior to her presentation of the Best Makeup and Costume oscars...other items of some note:
--Long-time superstar Tom Hanks will present early in the program - after that most others are either in 2010 films or upcoming movies for 2011.
--Nicole Kidman & Hugh Jackman will partner for the Best Original Score award
--An undisclosed guest host will introduce an excerpt from the first televised oscar program..it's black & white
--Robt Downey & Jude Law: Best Visual Effects oscar
--Gwyneth Paltrow sings a nominated song 'Coming Home' (couple yrs ago when asked which American actress would be the best co-star for RA, decided to see how they might look together on screen
--Jeff Bridges: last year's winner will present the Best Actor award
--Sandra Bullock: the 2010 Best Actress will do the honors for that oscar
--Steven Spielberg: Best Motion Picture
A few commenters at the oscar article website suggested it would really be interesting if Charlie Sheen was hosting the show this year. Those who've seen recent entertainment headlines get the joke :)
The audience for the past ten years is much smaller than it had been for many previous decades; although, for 2010 it was about 40 million viewers - that's just domestically
Well, I've just discovered a sad situation when it comes to our appreciation of RA fanvids. It seems the videographer who created the lovely one entitled 'Seduces Me' (song of the same title sung by Celine Dion) has chosen to make it private at youtube; thereby removing one of the most popular and enjoyable fan vids from his supporters enjoyment. It definitely presents a void that needs to be filled - perhaps by a good-hearted RA video creator? In the meantime, we can listen to the following and mute the sound while watching one of the above vids.
