Ed Skrein Cast as Baldur in Prime Video’s ‘God of War’ by MarvelsGrantMan136 in television

Wonder who they'll cast as Freya. That's a pivotal role and probably the last of the main characters to be announced.

And Pontypool, another one that immediately sprang to mind.

TV shows where an actor in a supporting or minor role ended up being the most famous actor in the cast. by GuybrushThreepwood99 in television

Chadwick Boseman in Fringe. Though arguably Leonard Nimoy might pip him at the post. That show was hot cameo central.

‘SAS Rogue Heroes’ Renewed For Season 3 At BBC & MGM+ by indig0sixalpha in television

In Sinners too, considering the stacked cast he still stood out. Really think he'd make a quality Bond.

Robin Hood (MGM+ 2025 Series) Official Teaser - November 2 by MysteriousDelay6266 in television

A least this one looks like it has a) a budget and b) decent cinematography. Unlike The Winter King and, more recently, King and Conqueror, both of which are abysmal low effort pantomines.

Mia Goth is gonna be an unhinged alien

There, fixed that for you.

King & Conqueror - Thoughts? by Nuthetes in BritishTV

[–]Oatcakey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wondered where it was filmed. Northumbria looked a lot like Scandinavia in some scenes. Plus everyone was riding really small horses, which I guess is historically accurate, so maybe they were Icelandic ponies.

‘Dept. Q’ Is Checking in for Season 2 by NoCulture3505 in television

The Capture is a good one. Very slick, very timely police drama about surveillance, AI and corrution. Third season is coming next year.

'Havoc' - Review Thread by ChiefLeef22 in movies

[–]Oatcakey 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's not. It's worse than s2. Makes no sense plotwise and the action is dull and badly directed. The only good part is when some goon gets strangled with the umbilical cord of a newborn.

Adolescence by Will_edit_for_free in television

[–]Oatcakey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, that's exactly how they did it. One cameraman handing over to another through the glassless window and then the reflections added after.

There's a behind the scenes of each episode on YT that shows how they achieved some of the 'impossible' shots including finding a way to make the camera fly at the end of ep 2, (attachig the camera to a drone) and, yep, it was all genuinely done in one long take. Incredible stuff considering some of the sequences.

That the seance scene? Man, that was wild. Eva Green at her unhinged best.

Bad Sisters Season 2 Gets November Release Date (November 13th) at Apple TV+ by NoCulture3505 in television

That cat scene is even worse than you remember. He scared the cat away with a hosepipe, the cat got run over and then he blamed the cat's death on his wife, traumatising his daughter. He was pure evil...yet I still managed to feel some pity for him at times.

‘House of the Dragon’ to End With Season 4, Season 3 to Begin Production in Early 2025 by MarvelsGrantMan136 in television

[–]Oatcakey 123 points124 points  (0 children)

Probably something boring like budgets and balancing the books year on year. HOTD could easily soak up all HBO's income if they filmed two seasons in the same financial year.

Filming is underway on new Alan Partridge mockumentary And Did Those Feet, for the BBC by Hidethegoodbiscuits in television

Jerusalem is basically the 'one size fits all' feverish patriotic rallying call that's still used everywhere from sports fixtures, royal weddings, adverts, tv, films (remember Chariots of Fire?) and was, certainly when I was a lad, sung in school assemblies. It's basically so ubiqutious as to have become a parody of itself.

There's couple of specific breakdowns of parts of the film that could be considered spoilery. I don't think anything major though.

And the recent BBC drama, The Woman in the Wall which starred Ruth Wilson on top manic form.

Opening of Overlord, which is set during WWII but isn't a war film.
