Liam Neeson Vs. Ralph Fiennes

28 March 2012 7:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »

It’s been a couple years since they battled on screen in what became a huge blockbuster, 2010's "Clash of the Titans." Now, real-life friends Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes are reprising their roles as Greek gods in "Wrath of the Titans." Neeson plays Zeus, king of the gods; Fiennes is Hades, his brother and god of the underworld.

These two acting giants first matched wits (and handsomeness) in "Schindler’s List," which scored them a ream of awards nominations and established both as leading men to be reckoned with.

Both were born citizens of the British Empire. Each has taken a different path in film stardom of late, with Neeson known for his recent man-on-a-mission roles and Fiennes renowned for his villainous turn as Lord Voldemort in the "Harry Potter" series.

You might think the 6'4" Neeson would come out on top in a matchup with the 6-foot Fiennes. »

BBC to screen Joyce Hatto biopic penned by Victoria Wood

20 February 2012 7:44 AM, PST | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »

British pianist had dozens of recordings by other artists passed off as her own by husband William Barrington-Coupe

BBC1 is to broadcast a Victoria Wood-scripted biopic of reclusive British pianist Joyce Hatto, whose husband was responsible for a notorious musical fraud, passing off dozens of recordings by other artists as his wife's work.

Loving Miss Hatto will star Francesca Annis as the late Hatto and Alfred Molina as her husband, William Barrington-Coupe.

"Loving Miss Hatto is a screenplay inspired by the true story of classical pianist Joyce Hatto and her husband Barrie," said Wood, whose TV writing credits include Housewife, 49 and Dinnerladies.

"It begins with their meeting in the grey shabby London of the early 50s and ends in the 21st century in a cul-de-sac in Royston, Hertfordshire. This is a story of two young people with high hopes who, like most of us, get bashed in the face by life. »
