FX Orders 8 Episodes Of X-Men Series 'Legion' Starring Dan Stevens!!!
FX Networks has more Marvel and X-Men news, this time it's an 8-episode order to 'Legion' starring Dan Stevens. Stevens is one of the most heart-stopping reasons to love 'Downton Abbey' and he's playing the titular male role in Disney's upcoming 'Beauty and the Beast'. 'Legion' is the first cable hosted series for Marvel, ABC hosts 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' and Netflix is home to four other comic-book shows.
Downton's Dan Stevens Cast As 'Legion' For FX Series!!!
FX is wading deeper in the Marvel world with the plan for 'Legion', an X-Men-universe series from 'Fargo' creator Noah Hawley who wrote the pilot and serves as executive producer. Marvel TV in cooperation with FX Prods will bring us the series based on the story of David Haller, the son of X-Men founder Charles Xavier and played by the dashing Dan Stevens ('Downton Abbey', 'Beauty and the Beast'). Stevens joins a cast that also features Aubrey Plaza, Jean Smart and Rachel Keller.
Interview with Dan Stevens, Adam Wingard, and Simon Barrett on 'The Guest'!!
We had the opportunity to sit down with actor Dan Stevens ('Downton Abbey'), and filmmakers Adam Wingard and Simon Barrett ('You're Next') and discuss their latest horror film 'The Guest'. We go over what sparked the idea for this amazing film, some of the casting, and even a remake of 'Ernest Goes to Jail'. It'a a lot of fun. Enjoy. And be sure to see their movie.
Disney's Beauty and the Beast (1991) is in the top 2 Disney animated movies of all-time. I'll only allow The Lion King, which has a live action version due in 2019 or 2020, to be ranked ahead of it. This isn't a debate. These are facts. Beauty and the Beast (animated) is a masterpiece from songs to characters, which is why I loved that this new live-action movie stayed so true to the animated version. It was an extremely enjoyable two hours with some really great moments and I look forward to seeing it again.
While Disney is busy making 'Marvel' movies and new 'Star Wars' films, they are finding it difficult to make original films these days, which is why they are taking their back catalogue of animated movies and remaking them in the live-action format. We've seen it with 'The Jungle Book', 'Cinderella', and the recent 'Snow White' films. Disney has no plans on stopping either, as with the release of 'Beauty and the Beast' and their upcoming 'Lion King' live action remake. After watching this new version of 'Beauty and the Beast', I don't have high hopes for future live action Disney films whatsoever.
Take A Peek At Marvel's 'Legion' Coming To FX In 2017!!!
Writer/Director Noah Hawley brings Marvel's 'Legion' comic to life for FX. We got our first peek at what this project looks like and it's freaking awesome! It stars Dan Stevens and Aubrey Plaza and debuts in 2017, but check out the trailer below and tell me what you think!
Be Our Guest for the Live Action 'Beauty and the Beast' Trailer!
That's right. We are getting a live-action 'Beauty and the Beast' film from Disney with an all-star cast that includes, Emma Watson, Dan Stevens, Luke Evans, Kevin Kline, Josh Gad, Ewan McGregor, Stanley Tucci, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Audra McDonald, Ian McKellen and Emma Thompson. Bill Condon (Twilight: Breaking Dawn) is directing and Tim Rice is still doing the score, which is awesome.
Ewan McGregor Is Latest Addition to 'Beauty and the Beast'!!!
As if I wasn't excited for Disney's live-action 'Beauty and the Beast' already, the latest casting news has put me over the top! Ewan McGregor is joining the cast as the romantic, debonair Lumiere!
'Beauty and the Beast' Brings Gugu Mbatha-Raw On Board!!!
Disney's live-action 'Beauty and the Beast' is chugging along, steadily filling out the cast with new announcements seemingly coming every day. We all know the story, a young Belle agrees to stay in a castle with a monstrous beast to ensure her father's freedom, but things aren't always what they appear to be on the surface.
Sir Ian McKellen Cast In Disney's 'Beauty and the Beast'!!!
Disney is right in the middle of their latest trend in film. Taking their own smash animated stories and flipping them around, re-working them into live-action films providing double the bank off a single story. If you're talking box office success, they're mega-hits, if you're looking at critically, they've missed the end zone more than they've scored. Next up for the family studio is 'Beauty and the Beast'.
Live-Action Musical 'Beauty and the Beast' Casts Mrs. Potts!!!
We've all heard the story, a tale as old as time…Our heroine Belle, sacrifices her freedom to trade places with her father living in an enchanted castle with a horridly monstrous beast that embodies the stuff nightmares are made of. She holds the key to his ultimate salvation and the others living in the castle nudge the pair together in hopes the end of their enchantment will be realized. I grew up on the Disney animated feature and it's remained one of my top 3 toon-movies even now.
Dent is in there with them! We have to save Dent! I have to save Dent!
