AMAZING FIRST PICTURES FROM UPCOMING NEW HISTORICAL SHOWS "THE WHITE QUEEN" WITH REBECCA FERGUSON, DAVID OAKES, MAX IRONS AND "VIKINGS" WITH TRAVIS FIMMEL, CLIVE STANDEN, GABRIEL BYRNE

I have lovely treats for you, my little freaks, for the opening day of the new year. First pictures from some of the upcoming new epic shows. First, check out the lovely photos from historical series THE WHITE QUEEN a luxurious new show which will air at BBC and STARZ later this year. You can read more about it in HOLLYWOOD SPY's exclusive spotlight on the show, but, set in the period of the War of the Roses and based on Phillipa Gregory's bestselling novel series "The Cousin's War", the ten part series follows a group of women who find themselves caught up in the race for the throne. The women work behind the scenes, scheming ruthlessly to help their lovers, and their children, and will stop at nothing to gain - or keep - the throne. With the nation at war for the past nine years over the
rightful King of England, the two sides of the same family - The House of York and The House of Lancaster - are also facing their own battle. The cast is lead by gorgeous Rebecca Ferguson in the lead role, and 
with James Frain, godawful Max Irons as king Edward IV, David Oakes, Aneurin Bernard...

VIKINGS
The other batch of photos comes from another epic show which will hit small screens this Spring - VIKINGS, the first scripted series from History Channel. You can read more about the show in HOLLYWOOD
SPY's spotlight, but the story will follow Ragnar Lothbrok (Travis Fimmel) while he rises to become King of the Viking tribes. Ragnar Lothbrok is based upon the real-life Viking leader who literally exploded out of Scandanavia and onto the world stage in the 8th Century.
A young Norwegian farmer with a wife and family, Ragnar is deeply frustrated by the unadventurous policies of his local chieftan, Earl Haraldson, who continues to send his Vikings raiders east every
summer, to the Baltic states and Russia, whose populations are as materially poor as themselves. The cast will also include Clive Standen, Gustaf Skarsgard, Gabriel Byrne, George Blagden ...
HAPPY NEW 2013
PS I'm posting this one a bit earlier today to catch you before you all go to your crazy New Year's Eve parties and get wasted :) See you in the
New Year and wishing you all the best, let 2013 be better to everyone than 2012 and let the world enjoy some peace in the upcoming new year! Hollywood Spy loves you and there's nothing you can do about it!

HOLLYWOOD SPY SPOTLIGHT ON 2013 APOCALYPTIC FILMS PART II - "OBLIVION" WITH TOM CRUISE & BRAD PITT'S "WORLD WAR Z"

You have probably noticed, by now, my little freaks, that we have survived the Mayan apocalypse and that we are (most of us) still in our non-zombie shapes. But Hollywood is obviously still obsessed with the
impending doom and is preparing tones of apocalyptic movies for 2013, so let us do a spotlight on them. You saw the first part yesterday, and here's the second one:

OBLIVION
Another one of the apocalyptic movies dealing with a destroyed Earth is science fiction epic OBLIVION which will open up in theatres next April starring that
crazy man Tom Cruise, stunning Olga Kurylenko, GAME OF THRONES' Nikolai Coster Waldau and Morgan Freeman. Directed by TRON:LEGACY helmer Joseph Kosinski, the story is set in post-apocalyptic Earth, where civilization lives above the clouds and scavengers illegally collect artefacts from the polluted and destroyed surface below. When one young scavenger discovers a crashed spacecraft planetside - and a beautiful women within - he rejoices at the find. Little does he realize that his discovery will lead him to a journey filled with romance, adventure and unimaginable danger.
DID YOU KNOW?
Having in mind that Tom Cruise's latest film JACK REACHER has been a shocking flop at the box office the question is whether OBLIVION will manage to return it's costly budget of $140 million.
Before the lead female role went to gorgeous Olga, it was the focus of a competition between Olivia Wilde, Jessica Chastain, Kate Mara and many others. While Kate Beckinsale, Diane Kruger and Hayley Atwell all auditioned for the second female role which later on went to an uknown actress.

WORLD WAR Z
Now this one will bring another of Hollywood's favourite looks upon the doomsday -  a zombie invasion, but if you thought you've seen all about zombie invasion in popular TV show THE WALKING DEAD, you ain't seen nothing, because WORLD WAR Z promises swarms and hordes of zombies attacking worldwide like mad ants! With the aim to
be one of summer 2013 blockbusters this zombie adventure has a dynamic story which revolves around United Nations employee Gerry Lane (Brad Pitt), who traverses the world in a race against time to stop the Zombie pandemic that is toppling armies and governments and threatening to decimate humanity itself. The cast of the epic film also
includes Matthew Fox, David Morse and James Badge Dale as Captain Speke, an American soldier who tries to warn the government that the threat of zombies is real, and the director is dashing Michael Forster from QUANTUM OF SOLACE.
DID YOU KNOW?
The whole film is based on the popular book by Max Brooks which became a worldwide bestseller. As you probably remember, the shooting
of the film underwent lots of problems - from all the weapons used in the scenes being seized by the Hungarian police, to Brad Pitt shooting some of the scenes in a Viagra factory and to tones of American cars and trucks being shipped over to UK sets to give the authentic look.

HOLLYWOOD SPY SPOTLIGHT ON 2013 APOCALYPTIC FILMS PART I - "AFTER EARTH" WITH WILL SMITH & "PACIFIC RIM" WITH IDRIS ELBA AND CHARLIE HUNNAM

You have probably noticed, by now, my little freaks, that we have survived the Mayan apocalypse and that we are (most of us) still in our non-zombie shapes. But Hollywood is obviously still obsessed with the impending doom
 and is preparing tones of apocalyptic movies for 2013, so let us do a spotlight on them. Today the first part, tomorrow the second one.

AFTER EARTH
Now, I most probably won't watch this one, since I cannot stand Will Smith's nepotism, but I'm guessing not everybody is sensitive to this issue as I am, so some of you might enjoy science fiction action AFTER EARTH which features both Will Smith and his son Jaden and I am guessing we should be happy that he didn't put that screeching daughter of his in it too. Ready to open up in cinemas June 2013, the story of the movie will be set one thousand
  years after cataclysmic events forced humanity's escape from Earth with Nova Prime which has become mankind's new home. Legendary General Cypher Raige returns from an extended tour of duty to his estranged family, ready to be a father to his 13-year-old son, Kitai.
When an asteroid storm damages Cypher and Kitai's craft, they crash-land on a now unfamiliar and dangerous Earth. As his father lies dying in the cockpit, Kitai must trek across the hostile terrain to recover their rescue beacon. His whole life, Kitai has wanted nothing more than to be a soldier like his father. Today, he gets his chance!

DID YOU KNOW? 
Now I must confess that I do like the visuals of the film, both the sets and the costumes seem rather enchanting in a futuristic kind of way as you can see in the trailer below.  The film is directed by M. Night Shyamalan and this is his first movie after the 2010 flop with THE LAST AIRBENDER. After this one, Will Smith has three sequels to do - for HANCOCK, BAD BOYS and I, ROBOT, and he will also star in fantasy movie WINTER'S TALE with Russell Crowe, Matt Bomer, Colin Farrell and William Hurt. The funny thing is that he was also supposed to shoot the sequel to INDEPENDENCE DAY, since he obviously loves doomsday flicks, but, thankfully, that one was cancelled due to budget issues.

PACIFIC RIM
One of the many movies next year which will face us with apocalypse in which mankind will use humongous machinery in order to defend itself is science fiction
 action epic PACIFIC RIM coming from Guillermo del Toro. The film, which will premiere next July, follows legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, who started rising from the sea, and a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity’s resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenceless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the
forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes -a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi)- who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind’s last hope against the mounting apocalypse.The cast also includes Idris Elba, Ron Perlman, Robert Kazinsky.
DID YOU KNOW? 
As HOLLYWOOD SPY reported before, Charlie Hunnam is leading the cast of History Channel's first scripted television series VIKINGS which is to air sometime next year. Meanwhile, Idris Elba will again play Heimdall in THOR: THE DARK WORLD sequel! Del Toro is working on future THE INCREDIBLE HULK TV series as the producer.

Torn between his desire for freedom and his love for an Indian maiden, Jewitt must choose one or the other.The lead role has been given to young hunk Kevin Zegers, while the cast also includes Ray Liotta and Native American actress Q'orianka Kilcher whom you remember from THE NEW WORLD and PRINCESS KAIULANI. Famous Native American star Wes Studi will also play in the film, and he was also seen in THE NEW WORLD, as well as in AVATAR, HELLL ON WHEELS and THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS

IRONCLAD BATTLE FOR BLOOD
You can also check out the first picture from the upcoming historical action IRONCLAD: BATTLE FOR BLOOD. The sequel to 2011 medieval adventure IRONCLAD which starred James Purefoy and Paul Giamatti, is
currently being shot in Serbia using Serbia's medieval fortresses as the sets. The story of the sequel, which should hit cinemas sometime next year, will revolve around a survivor of the Great Siege of Rochester Castle who fights to save his clan from from Celtic raiders. The first picture shows Serbian actor Predrag Bjelac (you remember him as Lord Donnon from CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: PRINCE CASPIAN, and as Igor Karkaroff from HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE) as Celtic leader Maddog who is seeking revenge against the English invaders who killed his son Ewan. Directed by Jonathan English, who also helmed the first film, the cast will also star delightful Tom Austen from MISFITS and THE BORGIAS.

CW TO MAKE "SHERWOOD" EPIC SHOW! FANTASY SAGA "THE FALSE PRINCE" FILM ADAPTATION! NEW TRAILER FOR "SPARTACUS: WAR OF THE DAMNED" FINAL SEASON

Woohoo, people, good news - we shall have yet another historical show coming up to the small screens in the future. According to "The Hollywood Reporter" CW is developing Robin Hood show SHERWOOD but instead of Robin, the focus of the show will be on a female vigilante who teams up with the fictitious outlaw and his Merry Men. One hour long series, to be written by CASHMERE MAFIA's Tze Chun, will be set in 1072 in England and will depict the adventures of a noblewoman who attempts to free her wrongly-jailed boyfriend from Norman occupiers with the help of Robin of Locksley and his gang. Seeing help from the vanished Robin of Locksley, she inadvertently reunites and joins the fabled Robin Hood and his Merry Men, inspiring new hope for the oppressed people of Nottingham. This is not the only epic show CW is developing since they are also working on AMAZON series which will centre on Wonder Woman and her origins.

HOLLYWOOD SPY HEADLINES
The same site also reports on Paramount preparing the movie adaptation of THE FALSE PRINCE novel by Jennifer A. Nielsen, which was published this April and is a part of the ASCENDANCE fantasy trilogy.
Bryan Cogman, who is the story editor for GAME OF THRONES, will adapt this one which has story similarities with the HBO show: In a distant land, and with king, queen and crown prince murdered, a nobleman devises a plan to find someone to impersonate the king’s long-lost son and act as a puppet. An orphan finds himself chosen with three other boys in the running. But this is no mere competition - with court intrigue and political conspiracies make it a contest to the death. I wonder why are so many YA female writers writing books about kids who have to fight to the death??? Deeply bizarre, disgusting and dangerous.

SPARTACUS WAR OF THE DAMNED TRAILER
And to finish in an epic way, since Hollywood Spy is web's leading source on everything epic, fantastic and historical, here's the new trailer for SPARTACUS: WAR OF THE DAMNED! The final ending season will air on Starz from January 25th starring Liam McIntyre, Manu Benett, Dan Feuerriegel, Dustin Clare,  Pana Hema 
Taylor and Tod Lassance as Caesar! Gaius Claudius Glaber is dead. Many months have passed since his defeat, and the rebel army, led by Spartacus and his generals Crixus, Gannicus and Agron, continue to amass victories over Rome. With the rebel numbers swelling to
thousands of freed slaves, it has become a force that has started to challenge even the mighty armies of Rome. Spartacus is more determined than ever to bring down the entire Roman Republic. Following the death of Ashur, Naevia and Crixus fight as one with newfound strength and determination. And Gannicus, always seeking to
embrace life to the fullest, shares his bed with the beautiful and dangerous Saxa. Together, the rebels engage in one bloody skirmish after another and prepare for the inevitable: a full out war with Rome. The Roman Senate turns to its wealthiest citizen, Marcus Crassus, for aid. A powerful, strategic politician, he respects his opponent and
refuses to make the same mistakes Glaber and his predecessors have. With a young and fiercely competitive Julius Caesar as an ally, Crassus is determined to crush Spartacus and his rebellion. The epic conclusion of a legendary journey, SPARTACUS WAR OF THE DAMNED will unleash a battle unlike anything ever seen before.

DAN STEVENS JOINS BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH IN "THE MAN WHO SOLD THE WORLD"! FIRST PICTURES FROM CILLIAN MURPHY'S "PEAKY BLINDERS" SERIES! DREAMWORKS TO ADAPT "LIGHT BETWEEN OCEANS"

It's a very slow holiday week in the movie news business, people, so bare with me. The casting info I have for you is for WikiLeaks movie which will probably be titled THE MAN WHO SOLD THE WORLD. I've informed you before that SHERLOCK's Benedict Cumber- batch will portray Julian Assange, the hero of the freedom loving world and the founder of Wiki Leaks who is currently the target of US world wide tyranny, and the new name in the cast is DOWNTON ABBEY's delightful star Dan Stevens. Dan, who is not returning to the fourth season of the British show, will play a hacker close to Daniel Domscheit-Berg, one of the company's most prominent spokesmen. Domscheit-Berg will be played by Daniel Bruhl, and Alicia Vikander is also in the cast.

HOLLYWOOD SPY HEADLINES
Yet another period set project will come from Dream Works. According to "The Hollywood Reporter" the studio has bought movie rights on LIGHT BETWEEN OCEANS, debut novel from M.L. Stedman. To be produced by HARRY PLOPPER producers, the story  is set on an island off the coast of Western Australia after World War I. A lighthouse keeper and his wife find a 2-month-old girl and a dead body in a rowboat and decide to raise the baby as their own. But what seems like a blessing soon turns tragic, as morality and love are tested. It is a story of human choices and their consequences, the story of marital and parental love.

PEAKY BLINDERS
Today, you can check out the first pictures from Cillian Murphy's upcoming television series PEAKY BLINDERS. The period set series will see Irish actor Cillian Murphy (THE WIND THAT SHAKES THE BARLEY, BREAKFAST ON PLUTO, IN TIME) in the lead role in BBC's  six-part gangster drama which follows ruthless mobster Tommy, whose family control the "lawless post-war slum neighbourhoods" of Birmingham in 1919. Tommy's family are known as the 'Peaky Blinders' due to their practice of sewing razor blades into the peaks of their caps. The plot unwinds when Murphy’s Tommy finds his leadership challenged when a Belfast police chief
comes to clean up the city, and a beautiful, mysterious woman arrives with a dangerous secret. PEAKY BLINDERS series is created by Steven Knight, who wrote David Cronenberg’s "Eastern Promises" and was Oscar nominated for Stephen Frears’ "Dirty Pretty Things"!

IS VIN DIESEL'S EPIC SAGA "HANNIBAL THE CONQUEROR" FINALLY GETTING PRODUCED? ZACHARY LEVI & JIM STURGESS FOR STARLORD ROLE IN "GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY"! "EMPIRE" STAR TREK COVERS!

Variety reported earlier this week that we have new candidates for the lead role in Marvel's upcoming fantasy adventure GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY. As you might remember, the previous candidates for the role of Peter Quill the Starlord, were Eddie Redmayne, Lee Pace (who even auditioned for it), James Marsden and Sullivan
 Stapleton. Now the new candidates are Jim Sturgess and Zachary Levi. And it seems the choice is down only to the two of them. This is the role of a former NASA astronaut who comes to learn that his father is an alien, which leads him into outer space. Armed with a sentient ship and a suit that enhances his strength, Quill eventually transforms 
himself into the Star-Lord, an intergalactic policeman and the leader of the Guardians. The film is scheduled for August 2014! As you know, Zachary Levi is already working with Marvel on THOR: THE DARK WORLD in which he replaced Josh Dallas in the role of Fandral, and apparently the studio likes his work on the project.

HOLLYWOOD SPY HEADLINES
Today, you can also check out two new "Empire" magazine 2013 movie preview covers featuring Chris Pine as Captain Kirk and Benedict Cumberbatch  as the main villain in long awaited sequel STAR 
TREK INTO DARKNESS which is ready to hit cinemas next summer starring also Karl Urban, Zachary Quinto, John Cho and Zoe Saldana!

HANNIBAL THE CONQUEROR
Good news from the epic front, my people! Last week Vin Diesel has intrigued his fans by posting something interesting on his Facebook profile: he said that a studio head told him that he wants to produce all three parts of Vin's dream project - historical saga on HANNIBAL THE CONQUEROR! He didn't give any other details, but does this mean the project to which Vin has dedicated almost ten years of his life is finally going to happen? As HOLLY- WOOD SPY reported years ago, the epic project would tell the story of the famous Cartha- ginian general who led a humongous army (including his beloved war elephants) across the Alps in order to destroy Rome in the Second Punic war.Late Tony Scott was previously
mentioned as possible helmer with Denzel Washington being Vin's dream choice for the role of Hannibal's father Hamilcar Barca who lead the armies in the First Punic War.

HO HO HO! SANTA BABES & SANTA HUNKS ARE HERE TO BRING YOU HOLLYWOOD SPY'S ULTRA SPICY CHRISTMAS 2012 GREETINGS!

Well, hello, my elven munchkins, are you in the festive mood this holiday week? As expected from my Imperial Naughtiness, HOLLYWOOD SPY is here to wish you Merry Christmas in a
 highly inappropriate but absolutely expected mischievous way. Somebody has to keep you warm and excited in these cold winter nights, and I feel this is my profound mission and goal on this planet :)
This means that I have armies of unbearably hot and sinfully sexy Santa Babes and Santa Hunks ready here to salute you with
all their tight and young body parts :) scantily clad in their Christmas outfits in order to show you the beauty of holidays :)

 HOLLYWOOD SPY'S CHRISTMAS MESSAGE
First, after watching and drooling over all these lovely bodies here, I want you to turn around yourself and give some steamy luving to your
own Santa Babes and Santa Hunks (and thus make your HOLLYWOOD SPY proud with your bedroom action this Christmas) - lick the lollipops they have to give you :), nibble on the
milky or chocolate brown cakes they have to give you in pairs (both upper and bottom ones) and then sugarcoat their lips with honey, cinnamon and vanilla kisses to spice up the festive atmosphere.
Second, don't forget all the other people around you, both the known ones and the casual strangers, who might need a touch of your love this week or a friendly smile from your face - sometimes it doesn't take much
to make someone's holidays. Invite someone poor to dinner, take someone lonesome out for a coffee, when buying your kids Christmas presents buy one to a poor kid from your neighbourhood, even if it is just a chocolate bar.
So be naughty, be mischievous, be loving, be smiley, be generous, be kind, be friendly and enchant the people with the warmth of your hearts this Christmas.
HOLLYWOOD SPY loves you and there is nothing you can do about it!
The programme continues here on Wednesday!

HOLLYWOOD SPY EXCLUSIVE SPOTLIGHT ON THE HOBBIT BOYS PART TWO: LEE PACE, AIDAN TURNER, BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH

So, tell me, my little Hobbits and Elves, have you seen THE HOBBIT: THE UNEXPECTED JOURNEY? It has been breaking records with hundreds of millions of dollars already earned worldwide, so I am
guessing you have. In honour of the epic fantasy, we're spotlighting the boys from the cast. First part was yesterday (and it already has thousands and thousands of readings and we also got a personal thank you tweet from dear Luke Evans), and the second one is in front of you today!

LEE PACE
ELVEN KING THRANDUIL
He definitely brings the charm of old Hollywood actors to modern times with his relaxed elegance, his magnetic charisma and his warm boy-next-door smile.  You first fell in love with Lee Pace when he
 became television star in crazy show PUSHING DAISIES where he had the power to bring dead people back to life. But the role which brought him cinematic fame was the legendary one in Tarsem's THE FALL, one of visually most striking movies ever in which Lee got the chance to shine with his radiant warmth and expressive eyes next to adorable Catinca Untaru glorifying the power of imagination and creativity. I'm thinking this is exactly where Peter Jackson noticed Lee's amazing eyes and his outstanding talent (he admitted that much himself in an interview recently) and that is how Pace got the most coveted role of Elven king Thranduil in THE HOBBIT saga.
 Here he plays the ruler of Mirkwood elves, the father of Legolas, who will in his might and power lead his elven armies against Goblins in the Battle of Five Armies. People who watched THE HOBBIT were deeply enchanted by his appearance in it even though he only has a very short scene in it. You have watched Lee earlier this year in LINCOLN and that TWILIGHT crapfest too. 
Did you know that Lee Pace was nominated for Golden Globes two times for his television work. He is the same age as his HOBBIT co-star Luke Evans. It is interesting that during his studies at Juilliard he played a lot of Shakespeare and later on he became an award winning theatre actor. He spent a big part of his childhood in Saudi Arabia since his dad was an oilman.

AIDAN TURNER
KILI THE DWARF
Now, this charming Irishman stole the spotlight when he appeared in legendary BBC television series BEING HUMAN in which he played a romantic vampire who shares a flat with a werewolf and a ghost. The role brought him an army of lady fans and it also brought him first deals in Hollywood. Before BEING HUMAN he acted in British TV series such as THE TUDORS and THE CLINIC, but after the vampire role he hit it big by scoring the role of dwarf Kili in Peter Jackson's THE HOBBIT saga. Here he plays a young dwarf noble raised under the stern guardianship of his uncle, Thorin Oakensheild. He, and his brother Fili, as skilled fighters, set off on their
adventure armed with the invincible courage of youth, neither being able to imagine the fate which lies before them. He will die later on defending Thorin at the Battle of the Five Armies! Aidan Turner has already scored another big role - he will play Luke Garroway in the movie adaptation of bestselling fantasy saga THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS. Luke Garroway is the surrogate father to the protagonist Clary Fray (Lily Collins) a young woman who learns she comes from a long line of demon hunter! It is interesting that Aidan got this role after the director saw him in THE HOBBIT footage shown at Comic-Con!

BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH
SMAUG THE DRAGON
Benedict Cumberbatch is lending his voice to Smaug, one of the last great dragons of Middle-earth who attacked the Dwarf kingdom of Erebor driving out the Dwarves and taking all of the treasure within. Living there for two hundred years and guarding the treasure he also makes the people of the nearby Lake-town live in constant fear that one day the sleeping dragon might awake.He will also voice the Necromancer Ruler of the stronghold of Dol Guldur in southern Mirkwood. As you know, Benedict is mostly famous for his role in BBC's worldwide hit series SHERLOCK, but he is also appreciated for his roles in acclaimed mini series such as TO THE
ENDS OF THE EARTH, THE LAST ENEMY and PARADE'S END. It is very interesting that he often plays in historical movies and films so we have seen him in TO KILL A KING, AMAZING GRACE, THE OTHER BOLEYN GIRL, ATONEMENT, CREATION. You saw him in Steven Spielberg's WAR HORSE and in TINKER TAYLOR SOLDIER SPY. He has quite a lot of upcoming projects: beside THE HOBBIT saga he will also work in AUGUST OSAGE COUNTY next to Meryl Streep and Ewan McGregor, as villainous Khan in STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS, in another historical film TWELVE YEARS A SLAVE with Michael Fassbender and Brad Pitt, and in a JULIAN ASSANGE biopic.
