New Pompeii Poster Sees Kit Harington Having A Romantic Eruption

By Leave a Comment

pompeii-poster1
If I were standing next to a volcano that was spew lava bomb, magma and pyroclastic flows, I don’t think I’d bother to take the time to have a kiss, but it seems Kit Harington and Emily Browning think differently in this new poster for Paul W.S. Anderson’s Pompeii.

The movie is set days before the historic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D. It centres on former slave Milo (Harington), who must race to save his true love Flavia (Emily Browning). Jessica Lucas is playing a slave who is a confidante to Flavia. Jared Harris, Kiefer Sutherland, and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje also star.

Janet Scott Batchler and Lee Batchler wrote the original screenplay, which was revised by Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes. Paul W.S. Anderson’s movie is out in February. It’s certainly looking pretty epic, although is this poster is anything to go by, it’ll also be a little over the top.

Early next year Pompeii will be getting destroyed once more, in 3D on cinema screens thanks to Paul WS Anderson’s movie. Now three new images have arrived, via USA Today, featuring an ashy Kit Harington and Emily Browning, as well and a very Roman Keifer Sutherland.

The movie is set days before the historic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D. It centres on former slave Milo (Harington), who must race to save his true love Flavia (Emily Browning). Jessica Lucas is playing a slave who is a confidante to Flavia. Jared Harris, Kiefer Sutherland, and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje also star.

Sutherland comments, “It’s been a long time since I did a movie this big in scope. There are amazing computer effects, but only a third of the set was green screen. The rest was huge props, big sets, elaborate costumes, which I love.”

Stephen Garrett of the film’s backers, Shine Pictures, commented, “We’ve set out to make a gripping, cinematic, contemporary spy thriller – one that builds on the history of the show and its legacy of questioning the world around us, but which also delivers as a standalone film for a new, global audience.” Harington will Harry Pearce’s protoge Will Crombie, who is investigating how a terrorist escaped from custody during a routine handover. As this is spook there’s also the threat of an imminent terror attack on London. Ehle will be head of MI5, Dame Geraldine Maltby.

Kit Harington, Jack O’Connell & Miles Teller Test For Fantastic Four

By Leave a Comment

kit-harington
It’s believed that Fox’s reboot of Fantastic Four is nearly at the point where it ready to shoot. While there have been casting rumours for months, it’s only now they’re properly started testing actors, starting with Reed Richards (Mr. Fantastic) and Sue Storm (The Invisible Girl).

Insiders told Variety that Kit Harington (Game of Thrones), Miles Teller (The Spectacular Now) and Jack O’Connell (300: Rise of an Empire) are in line to get test for the Reed Richards role, while Saoirse Ronan (The Host), Kate Mara (Transcendence) and Margot Robbie (About Time) will try out for Sue Storm.

The studio is looking to go much younger with this rebooted version, in hopes of drawing in a new audience to reinvigorate the franchise (although it should be noted Reed Richards was in his 20s in the original comic, so despite the image of his as slightly older, they haven’t completely ditched the character’s origins).

For several months Michael B. Jordan (Chronicle, Fruitvale Station) has been the favourite to play Johnny Storm (The Human Torch), although that may change. No actors have been mentioned in connection with either Ben Grimm (The Thing) or the villain yet.

Simon Kinberg was recently brought on to work on the script, providing a polish. Jeremy Slater, Michael Green, Seth Grahame-Smith and T.S. Nowlin have previously worked on the script. Josh Trank is directing the reboot, with shooting expected to begin in the next few months.

Kit Harington Is All Wet For Wonderland Magazine

By Leave a Comment

kit-harington-wonderlandThe pic above of Kit Harington may just be a close-up of Kit Harington’s face, but there’s nevertheless something rather sexy and almost naughty about it. Or perhaps it’s just me that sees sex.

Games Of Thrones star Harington went in front of the camera for Wonderland magazine, which didn’t just result in the image above, but also the video below. Kit simply hang around smouldering while the camera wanders all over his body.

I particularly like how surprised he seems when he looks down and realises that he’s all wet, despite having stood in a shower for the last 30 seconds (and getting into a bit of a one-man wet t-shirt competition in the process). Enjoy the vid.

As well as Game Of Thrones, Kit will be seen early next year playing the lead role in the action epic Pompeii. [Read more…]

Kit Harington Shows Off His Abs In A First Look At Pompeii

By Leave a Comment

pompeii-kit-harington
Kit Harington is going from TV’s Game Of Thrones from the movies with Pompeii, Paul WS Anderson’s film centred on the fateful volcanic eruption. Now the first image from the movie has arrived, via EW, showing Harington and his rather impressive abs.

“This is the first scene you see me in,” commented Harington. “It’s set in London, in fact, and it’s a scene where my character is a gladiator fighting in an arena. That’s his gladiator look. It’s a great little fight against three masked gladiators and sets up who he is and where he’s going. You see me display my skills quite early on. It’s a costume I don’t actually wear for the rest of the film, but it’s an establishing one.”

That last sentence is likely to upset some.

The movie is set days before the historic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D. It centres on former slave Milo (Harington), who must race to save his true love Flavia (Emily Browning). Jessica Lucas is playing a slave who is a confidante to Flavia. Jared Harris, Kiefer Sutherland, and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje also star.

Janet Scott Batchler and Lee Batchler wrote the original screenplay, which was recently revised by Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes. It’s due out early next year.

Jared Harris Heads For Pompeii With Kit Harington & Emily Browning

By Leave a Comment

jared-harrisJared Harris is always a great person to cast in any movie, and now he has joined Paul W.S. Anderson’s upcoming action-adventure film, Pompeii, according to THR. He joins Game of Thrones’ Kit Harington and Sucker Punch’s Emily Browning in the movie.

As you’d expect, the movie is set around the time Vesuvius erupted and buried the town of Pompeii. In the  late first century AD, Milo (Kit Harington) is a former slave turned gladiator. He is forced into a race against time to save his lover Flavia (Emily Browning) after discovering that she has been unwillingly promised to a corrupt Roman General – and of cource the volcano is rumbling.

Jared Harris will play Flavia’s father. The actor is best known for his role as Moriarty in Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, and has also been seen in the likes of Mad Men and Fringe.

Paul W.S. Anderson is directing from a script by Lee and Janet Scott Batchler, which was more recently reworked by Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes.
