Winter is coming..

A new retelling of one of the most famous heroes of all times, Robin Hood (2018). The movie is to be released in the last week of November and Taron Egerton is playing the lead.

Now, the things I am not too sure of, the COSTUMES, and, the fact the Taron might end up overplaying the role.

Watch the trailer and tell us, what do you think!

Pompeii (2014)

Trailer : Pompeii (2014)

Releasing this February this period drama is about a gladiator fighting against time to save her lady love. Sounds a bit dramatic with the background of Pompeii but watch it for the love of period movies and fight sequences and Kit Harington ;). I am sure girls would.

Releasing on 21 February. 

The Monuments Men (2014)

Trailer: The Monuments Men (2014)

It is a World War II movie with a twist, it is not the people they are going to save from the Nazis but art masterpieces! As for the cast of this movie, you won't be disappointed. 

The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014)

Trailer: The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014)

How did you like it? Well it is definitely one of those movies I would be eagerly waiting for this year. The trailer is amazing and I think so would be the movie The Grand Budapest Hotel. Cannot expect a better or more diversified cast and I don't remember when was the last time I watched Ralph Fiennes look so funny, besides, you rarely get to see a comic period movie.

Releasing on 7th March.

Period Dramas - Double Treat with Leonardo DiCaprio

Leonardi DiCaprio in two period dramas on 25th December this year! 

Leonardo DiCaprio will be starring in two period movies, and guess what, both these movies are expected to release on the same day! It will be THE GREAT GATSBY up against DJANGO UNCHAINED!


In Great Gatsby, Leonardo will be playing the lead character of Jay Gatsby which has already been portrayed by Robert Redford in 1974 movie of the same name. Comparisons will be drawn but I think he'll equal Robert Redford, might even outshine him.

The second movie is, Django Unchained, where Leonardo plays a ruthless and francophile plantation owner, Calvin Candie, so, that's a negative shade.

Both of these period dramas are expected to release on the 25th of this December, which one are you going to watch first?

Coming Soon

Robert Pattinson in another Period Drama

Robert Pattinson in Bel Ami (2012)

All the members of Team Edward, this is to bring to your kind attention that Robert Pattinson will be seen in yet another Period Drama, BEL AMI, directed by Declan Donnellan and Nick Ormerod, and starring Christina Ricci and Uma Thurman in the lead.

The movie is about a young man in Paris who rises to power by manipulating the city's most influential women. It will be released in March in the coming year.

I have always been of the opinion that Robert Pattinson being English must do more of such roles although I like him as Edward (Twilight). May be someday, say, after ten years or so he'll have a career like that of Colin Firth, well may be.

The Great Gatsby - 2012

I couldn't stop myself from posting this video on the HOME page. I am all thrilled for this movie, with great story and starcast, who knows, it could be one of the best period movies of all times.

I'll keep you updated on this, till then , ENJOY!

Period Movies Box - Dimensions - Curtain Raiser

Dimensions - a line, a loop, a tangle of threads

This is a very special post since I have been asked to write and let you all know about this upcoming movie, Dimensions -a line, a loop, a tangle of threads by debutante couple Ant Neely and Sloane U’Re. 


The movie stars Camilla Rutherford (Gosford Park, Rome, The Darjeeling Limited), Henry Lloyd-Hughes (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Inbetweeners, Annoymous) and Patrick Godfrey (The Remains of the Day, The Duchess, A Room with a View).


I just watched the teaser of the movie and I'm sure I'll watch the movie when it comes to theaters. Allow me to tell you the plot of the movie, in the words of the movie makers, "Stephen is a brilliant young boy who lives in Cambridge, England, in what appears to be the 1920s 
– but nothing in Stephen’s life is quite as it seems.  His world is turned upside down upon meeting a 
charismatic and inspirational professor at a garden party who demonstrates to Stephen and his friends 
what life would be like if they themselves were merely one, or two, dimensional beings.  He then 
proceeds to explain that by manipulating other dimensions, time travel may actually be possible.
As Stephen’s life unfolds, events lead him to dedicate himself to turning the Professor’s theories of time 
travel into reality.  Jealousy, love, obsession, temptation and greed surround him, influencing his fragile 
mind and the direction of his work."

Period Movies - TINKER, TAILOR, SOLDIER, SPY - Upcoming Movie

TINKER, TAILOR, SOLDIER, SPY

The spy thriller features a stellar cast including Gary Oldman, Kathy Burke, Benedict Cumberbatch, Colin Firth, Tom Hardy, Ciarán Hinds, John Hurt, Toby Jones, Konstantin Khabensky, Svetlana Khodchenkova, Roger Lloyd Pack, and Mark Strong. Directed by Tomas Alfredson (“Let The Right One In”) it is a Working Title production for STUDIOCANAL.

Set in the period of 1970s, TINKER, TAILOR, SOLDIER, SPY finds George Smiley (Gary Oldman), a recently retired MI6 agent, doing his best to adjust to a life outside the secret service. However, when a disgraced agent reappears with information concerning a mole at the heart of the Circus, Smiley is drawn back into the murky field of espionage. Tasked with investigating which of his trusted former colleagues has chosen to betray him and their country, Smiley narrows his search to four suspects – all experienced, urbane, successful agents – but past histories, rivalries and friendships make it far from easy to pinpoint the man who is eating away at the heart of the British establishment.

The screenplay is by Peter Straughan and Bridget O’Connor and the film, which was shot in London, Budapest and Istanbul is produced by Working Title’s co-chairmen Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner and Robyn Slovo. The executive producers are Debra Hayward, Liza Chasin, Douglas Urbanski, Peter Morgan, Olivier Courson, Ron Halpern and John le Carré.

TINKER, TAILOR, SOLDIER, SPY will be released in UK & Ireland on
16 September 2011 through Optimum Releasing.

Period Movies - Snow White VS Snow White - Upcoming Movies

Visionary filmmaker Tarsem Singh heads into fairy-tale territory with an adaptation of the tale of -Snow White in this Relativity Media production. Julia Roberts co-stars as the Evil Queen, with Lily Collins starring as Snow White and The Social Network's Armie Hammer taking on the role of Prince Andrew Alcott.
--StarPulse

There will be an immensely interesting competition between the two Snow White movies, with Kristen Stewart starring as Snow White in The Snow White and the Huntsman. Personally, I have my own reasons to watch both these movies, the previous because it stars Julia Roberts and my eyes would be after Armie Hammer(of course); the second one because Kristen Stewart would be braking away from her Twilight-image(hopefully).

Period Movies - The Hobbit - Upcoming Movie

The Hobbit - new video released

Despite being one of the most eagerly awaited movies in recent years Peter Jackson decided not to preview ‘The Hobbit’ at this year’s Comic-Con. But he did release a superb preview poster.

On Wednesday the 49-year old triple-Oscar winner told fans on his Facebook page he didn’t feel the movie was ready to even be presented in preview.

“New Line and Warner Bros. were very happy to support a presentation, but I declined, simply because I felt it was too early,” he writes. “There’s so much more of the films still to shoot. I just wanted to get that out there…Hate to disappoint anyone. But something tells me we will be there in force next year.”

And fans are on his side – the post has over 1,200 ‘likes’ and still growing.

Period Movies - Titanic 3D re-release scheduled for April 2012, 100 years after the ship set sail -Upcoming Movie

Titanic 3D re-release

Before James Cameron was all about 3D he did a few features you may have heard of, including some indie project calledTitanic that happens to be the second highest grossing movie of all time. Now, that flick is going to return to theaters and of course, it's in 3D. He's been working on the conversion for several years and says it "will be Titanic as you've never seen it before, digitally re-mastered at 4K and painstakingly converted to 3D." This is certainly no Clash of the Titans rush job, but as much as viewers loved Leo & Kate the first time around, whether or not they fill up movie houses again on April 6, 2012 (and for the Star Wars 3D re-releases) will either lift or crush the potential for conversions and 3D movies in general.

Period Movies - Great Expectations (2012) -Upcoming Movie

Great Expectations (2012)

Director Mike Newell will follow up last year's action-adventure Prince of Persia with a new film adaptation of Charles Dickens' Great Expectations.

Plans to release the film in 2012 are part of a year-long celebration of the 200th anniversary of the novelist's birth, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

On February 7, the British Film Institute announced "the largest-ever retrospective of film and television adaptations of Dickens's work," set to tour the globe in 2012, including visits to the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Cinémathèque grançaise in Paris.

The bicentenary, called "Dickens 2012," will be coordinated by the Charles Dickens Museum, Film London and an international group of institutions to deliver a program of events on February 7, 2012.

Of the various films based on the tale, one of the truest versions of Great Expectations is David Lean's 1946 version starring Jean Simmons and Alec Guinness. Also, Anthony Hopkins starred in a 1989 rendition in which Jean Simmons appeared, and a 1974 version featured Michael York and Sarah Miles.

Alfonso Cuarón (Y Tu Mamá También, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban) did a modernized telling of the tale starring Ethan Hawke, Gwyneth Paltrow and Robert DeNiro in 1998.

Great Expectations tells the tale of Pip, an orphan in 1800s England who attains wealth through the gift of an unknown benefactor.

PERIOD MOVIES-Kristen Stewart in THE SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN - Upcoming Movie

Stewart in New Bold Shows : a Period Movie

The Snow White and the Huntsman panel just ended at the San Diego Comic Con, and we’ve got things to show you. The movie stars Kristen Stewart as Snow White, but it’s not Snow White as you’ve ever envisioned her. Think Snow White in battle armor. Actually, don’t just think it, check out the first ever pic of Stewart as Snow White in Hunstman below. Click the image to see it in high-res:




Yep, that’s Snow White. You can see where they’re going with this thing. Think about what Tim Burton did with Alice in Wonderland, for instance, where Alice ended up in similarly badass armor by the movie’s end.

Here’s your first look at the rest of the Snow White and the Huntsman characters including Charlize Theron as the wicked Queen, Sam Clafin as the Prince, and Chris Hemsworth as the Huntsman. Click on each image to embiggen.      








At last the existence of two simultaneous Snow White projects in Hollywood is starting to make sense. The two films are so different, that it now seems almost ridiculous to consider them in the same category. Tarsem Singh’s movie is taking a more traditional approach as true and typical Snow White.
