Swedish actor tipped for international stardom takes lead role in BBC1 series The White Queen
She has been cast as the "most beautiful woman in the island of Britain" but although she is apparently a distant relative of Sarah Ferguson, Rebecca Ferguson is in fact Swedish.
The actor will this week be introduced to BBC viewers in the lead role of The White Queen, the lavish adaptation of Philippa Gregory's Wars of the Roses novels, her first UK TV drama role.
BBC controller of drama commissioning. Ben Stephenson, is confident the 29 year-old's starring role in the series, which starts on Sunday, will be a stepping stone to a more high-profile international acting career. Since landing the BBC role Ferguson has been cast in another historical TV drama, Ridley Scott's The Vatican, and the movie Hercules: The Thracian Wars, alongside Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and John Hurt.

Romeo & Juliet Trailer Starring Hailee Stienfeld & Douglas Booth
14 April 2013 11:30 AM, PDT | Filmofilia | See recent Filmofilia news »
Here’s the first trailer for the writer Julian Fellowes (Downton Abbey) adaptation of the Shakespeare tragedy of star-crossed lovers Romeo and Juliet, starring Hailee Steinfeld (True Grit) and Douglas Booth (The Pillars of the Earth). Everyone knows lovers whose love is denied due to the feud between their two families, the Montagues and Capulets, so it’s tough to be excited by a new adaptation unless its told in an original or interesting fashion. Directed by Italian filmmaker Carlo Carlei, the film’s supporting cast includes Paul Giamatti, Stellan Skarsgard, and Homeland’s Damian Lewis along with Ed Westwick, Kodi Smit-McPhee (Let Me In) and Natascha McElhone.

At A Glance, The First Trailer For The New ‘Romeo and Juliet’ Looks Pointless, But Look Closer…
12 April 2013 11:03 PM, PDT | LatinoReview | See recent LatinoReview news »
A trailer is out for the new Romeo and Juliet movie. This adaptation is directed by Carlo Carlei (Flight of the Innocent) and stars Douglas Booth (The Pillars of the Earth) as Romeo and Hailee Steinfeld (True Grit) as Juliet.
My initial reaction while watching the trailer for this honest adaptation of Romeo and Juliet was why bother?
At this stage in the Romeo and Juliet game, if you’re not going to do something wildly creative or unique like Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo + Juliet (1996) then why bother?
Then, I saw Paul Giamatti as the Friar and realized that Hailee Steinfeld (who was great in True Grit) plays Juliet. Dammit. I can’t write this one off just yet.
Also, the new Romeo is in Darren Aronofsky’s upcoming Noah. Aronofsky (Pi, The Wrestler, Black Swan) is an elite director and if he picked up Booth for his Noah project, »

Check out the first trailer for Julian Fellowes' 'Romeo and Juliet' -- Video

The first trailer for the newest adaptation of Romeo and Juliet is now online, and there’s plenty of ancient grudges, unclean civil hands, and death-marked love on display in this peek at the film.
While the other buzzy Shakespeare adaptation of 2013 — Joss Whedon’s Much Ado About Nothing — went the route of a fresh, modern interpretation, this Romeo and Juliet is going back to the play’s Elizabethan roots, with period costumes, a shoot in Verona and other Italy locations, and a young pair of actors playing the leads. The film’s Juliet, Hailee Steinfeld (True Grit), who shot »

First Trailer for 'Romeo & Juliet' with Hailee Steinfeld & Douglas Booth
12 April 2013 11:56 AM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
Everyone knows the Shakespeare tragedy of star-crossed lovers Romeo & Juliet, but this time it's "Downton Abbey" writer Julian Fellowes bringing the story to life. However, it doesn't seem like he's done much to make the material more engaging, as the first trailer for the adaptation starring Hailee Steinfeld (True Grit) and Douglas Booth ("The Pillars of the Earth") looks to be pretty dry and boring. Maybe the presence of Paul Giamatti, Ed Westwick, Kodi Smit-McPhee and Damian Lewis will make it better, but as of now, it doesn't look like it can shake a stick at Baz Lurhmann's contemporary adaptation. Watch! Here's the first trailer for Carlo Carlei's Romeo & Juliet from Digital Spy (via The Playlist): Italian filmmaker Carlo Carlei directs this adaptation of William Shakespeare's classic Romeo & Juliet, adapted by "Downton Abbey" writer Julian Fellowes.

First Trailer for Romeo & Juliet Starring Hailee Steinfeld, Douglas Booth, and Damian Lewis
12 April 2013 11:54 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
The first trailer for director Carlo Carlei’s adaptation of Romeo & Juliet has landed online. Written by Julian Fellowes (Downton Abbey, Gosford Park), the film stars Hailee Steinfeld (True Grit) as Juliet and Douglas Booth (The Pillars of the Earth) as Romeo, with a rather impressive supporting cast that includes Paul Giamatti, Stellan Skarsgard, and Homeland’s Damian Lewis. Carlei maintains the original setting of Shakespeare’s play and looks to be taking a rather classical approach to the storytelling. Following a rather awkward opening with "movie trailer guy" reciting Shakespeare, the clip sufficiently teases the romantic and intense aspects of Shakespeare’s source material. However, with a story that’s been told countless times, it’s tough to be excited by a new adaptation unless its told in an original or interesting fashion. Hit the jump to watch the trailer. The film also stars Ed Westwick, Kodi Smit-McPhee (Let Me In) and Natascha McElhone. »

Labyrinth is silly but enjoyable cobblers

Channel 4's new medieval romp is all about bums and historical misrepresentation
France, 1209, and the doughty fiefdom of Carcassonne is besieged by bastards. "They seek the secret of the Grail," gasps carbuncular nobleman Bertrand, as swarms of rhubarbing crusaders prepare to storm his ramparts. Daughter Alaïs (Jessica Brown Findlay) is confused. "The Holy Grail?" she whispers, slowly. "The cup that Christ drank from on the night of the Last Supper?" "Yes," replies Papa, Frenchly. "And we must defend it (thundering cellos; extreme close up of period-specific scowl) " … With Our Lives."
Inflate thy balloons and unsheathe thy mint Viscounts, for here is Labyrinth (Saturday, 9pm, Channel 4) to remind us of the unique joy of the shonkily realised international costume epic. A two-part German-South African co-production based on the bestselling Kate Mosse novel, it's a window-rattling potboiler bubbling with ancient religious conspiracies, comely medieval wenches, comely 21st-century academics, fogbanks of swirly past-times skulduggery, »

Return to Big Blockbuster Sound with Trevor Morris’ Action-Packed Score for ‘Olympus Has Fallen’
21 March 2013 1:00 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
A composer known for his otherworldly scores for films such as Immortals and period scores for television programs such as The Borgias, The Tudors, and The Pillars of the Earth may seem like an odd choice for a film about a very real place (the White House) falling victim to a fictional (albeit extreme) situation. However with a title like Olympus Has Fallen, composer Trevor Morris‘ past pedigree seems to make him the perfect fit to tell a story that is in fact as grand, and moving, as his past work. A fan of action movies himself, Morris worked closely with Olympus‘ director Antoine Fuqua to not only bring the story of the White House being taken over to life, but do so by getting audiences’ adrenaline and emotions racing. Olympus Has Fallen brings back that “big blockbuster movie” feel through its intense and commanding sound design. The film does not hold back and brings viewers right »

The latest Ken Follett adaptation is a glorious pageant of murder and medical abuse
I wouldn't want to be ill in any way in the England of 1327. Especially if Brother Joseph was the medic on call. Brother Joseph basically has three remedies – blood-letting, a dung poultice fresh from the privy, and amputation by meat cleaver – which he prescribes for everything, often in combination. And when his methods fail, as they invariably do, he resorts to prayer. Which also fails, and the patient – bleeding, stumpy and stinking – dies in agony. How am I feeling, Brother Joseph? Yeah, tip-top as it happens, never better ... [backs away, exits stage left, at speed, preferably on horseback]
Not that life had a lot of value back then, or so it would seem from World Without End (Channel 4, Saturday), which takes up the reins from the last Ken Follett medieval saga adaptation, The Pillars of the Earth. Edward II has been defeated and imprisoned by his French wife Isabella, »
