In blood-soaked Tudor England, twice married, accomplished, and educated Katherine Parr (Vikander), reluctantly agrees to become the sixth wife of the tyrannical King Henry VIII (Law). Her consent to marry him carries great personal risk, given that her predecessors are either vanquished, beheaded, or dead. When Henry appoints her as Regent, the nation’s ruler during his absence when he departs to fight overseas, he lays a dangerous path for her. Henry’s courtiers, suspecting she’s sympathetic to radical Protestant beliefs that have taken root in the kingdom and are a threat to their power, scheme against her and cast doubts upon her fidelity to the increasingly ailing and paranoid King. Once Henry returns to England, his courtiers convince him to turn his fury on the nation’s radicals, including Katherine’s childhood friend Anne Askew, who becomes one of the scores of people convicted of treason and burned at the stake. Horrified and privately grieving, Katherine finds herself under ever-increasing scrutiny and suspicion. Knowing that even a whisper of scandal might lead to her downfall, Katherine must unleash her own scheme to fight for survival.
Hello everyone!
First of all, I really want to thank all the visitors to keep supporting the site and enjoy all the stuff that I am posting here.
I really try my best to have this site update and try my best to get all the stuff possible to share with you all. But, some months ago…things changed with my personal life and now, it is hard for me to get the money to maintain this site so, I am asking for donations. I need the money to renew host, domain and also, get more stuff to share here (new and old).
So, please, if you like this site and want to help to keep this online and updated, feel free to go here to donate. Every single dollar will help and will be used to keep this site online (as I said, I need to renew domain and host). Every little bit will be more than appreciated.
If you need to know more or want to help, please, feel free to contact me.
Again, thanks everyone for all your support.
Big hugs
Nicky
Alicia Vikander has been set to star opposite Cate Blanchett in Rumours, a comedy from writer-directors Guy Maddin, Evan Johnson and Galen Johnson (The Green Fog), which Bleecker Street has snapped up for release in U.S. theaters this year.
The film follows the seven leaders of the world’s wealthiest liberal democracies at the annual G7 summit after they become lost in the woods and face increasing peril while attempting to draft a provisional statement regarding a global crisis.
Also featuring in a top role in the pic, which recently wrapped production in Hungary, is Genie Award winner Roy Dupuis (Shake Hands with the Devil). Additional cast includes Charles Dance (Game of Thrones), Denis Ménochet (Inglourious Basterds), Nikki Amuka-Bird (Knock at the Cabin), Rolando Ravello (Perfect Strangers), Takehiro Hira (Gran Turismo), and Zlatko Burić (Triangle of Sadness).
Hailing from Ari Aster and Lars Knudsen’s Square Peg, the production company behind such acclaimed films as Hereditary and Dream Scenario, the project is their second with Bleecker Street, on the heels of the Zellner Brothers’ recently announced Sasquatch Sunset, starring Riley Keough and Jesse Eisenberg, which is set to world premiere at this month’s Sundance Film Festival.
Rumours is a Canadian-German co-production, with financing from Telefilm Canada and Manitoba Film & Music, Orogen Entertainment Ltd. and Minnow Productions, in association with ZDF/ARTE. Producers are Liz Jarvis for Buffalo Gal Pictures, Philipp Kreuzer for Maze Pictures, and Knudsen for Square Peg. Exec producers include Andrew Karpen and Kent Sanderson for Bleecker Street, Aster for Square Peg, Jörg Schulze for Maze Pictures, and Phyllis Laing for Buffalo Gal Pictures. Executive producers for Orogen Entertainment are Blair Ward, Anders Erden, Lauren Case and Eric Harbert. Exec producers also include Gillian Hormel, Mary Aloe and Stefan Kapelari. Laokoon Film Group’s Judit Stalter is co-producer along with exec producers Gábor Sipos and Gábor Rajna. Elevation Pictures is distributing in Canada, and Plaion Pictures in Germany. Protagonist Pictures is handling international sales.

Roadside Attractions and Vertical have acquired U.S. rights to Firebrand, a historical thriller starring Alicia Vikander (Ex Machina) and Jude Law (The Talented Mr. Ripley) that world premiered at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. The film directed by Karim Aïnouz (Invisible Life) is slated for an exclusive theatrical release on June 21, 2024, when it will go up against Jeff Nichols’ The Bikeriders and an as-yet-undisclosed title from Universal.
Based on the bestselling historical novel Queen’s Gambit by Elizabeth Fremantle, the film follows legendary Queen of England, Katherine Parr (Vikander), and her quest to survive the perilous last months in the life of her ailing and abusive husband, Henry VIII (Law). Eddie Marsan (21 Grams), Sam Riley (Control), Simon Russell Beale (The Death of Stalin) and Erin Doherty (The Crown) co-star.
It’s in blood-soaked Tudor England that the twice married, accomplished and educated Parr reluctantly agrees to become the sixth wife of tyrannical King Henry VIII. Her consent to marry him carries great personal risk, given her predecessors are either vanquished, beheaded, or dead. Appointed as Regent when Henry departs to fight overseas, Katherine embraces the opportunity, doing everything she can to push for a new future based on her radical Protestant beliefs.
Henry’s courtiers perceive her as a threat to their power and scheme to cast doubts upon her fidelity and turn the increasingly ailing and paranoid King against her. Upon his return to England, the courtiers convince Henry to turn his fury on the nation’s radicals, including Katherine’s childhood friend Anne Askew (Doherty), who becomes one of the scores of people convicted of treason and burned at the stake.
Horrified and privately grieving, but forced to deny it, Katherine finds herself under ever-increasing scrutiny and suspicion. Everyone holds their breath — for the queen to slip up, for Henry to take her head like wives before. With the hope for a future free of tyranny at risk, will Katherine submit to the inevitable for the sake of King and country?
Script for Firebrand was written by Killing Eve‘s Henrietta Ashworth and Jessica Ashworth, with additional writing by Rosanne Flynn. The film is produced by Gabrielle Tana (Thirteen Lives, The Dig) and Carolyn Marks Blackwood (Cottontail, The Dig). Maria Logan, Anne Sheehan, Rosanne Flynn and Nicola Hart served as executive producers.
