Designer1 Posted December 9, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted December 9, 2022 28 minutes ago, hogso said: Mike Flanagan - Director and Writer of Hush, Haunting of Hill House, Haunting of Bly Manor, Midnight Mass, Midnight Club plus the movie versions of Gerald's Game and Doctor Sleep, amongst others - has spoken this week about his desire to get the Dark Tower TV show done on Amazon. His writing style takes heaps of influence from King, and his work on Doctor Sleep in particular was terrific I thought. In a way I'd prefer he be involved with versions of The Long Walk, The Institute, or even the more recently released Fairy Tale (absolute peak PG-13 King for me) which are all ripe for the small or big screen. The Dark Tower though...as a fully realised TV series spanning 5 series...with all of Amazon's money...don't do that. Don't give me hope. Especially when Amazon's record isn't exactly great with big budget adaptations of much loved fantasy and sci fi. Was just reading about this. I'm a big fan of Flanagan, and if anyone can so it justice its him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 (edited) Rewatching The English, yes, it's that good. What struck me this time was, I understand Spall and Blunt getting the accolades for two very different, but great performances, however, Chaske Spencer's performance also deserved praise for some beautifully understated acting. I certainly didn't think he had that in him judging him from his role in Banshee. Edited December 11, 2022 by sheepyvillian 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 That has to be the funniest line in The English when Toby Jones's character says to Eli, "well, I didn't know you then like I do know". He never disappoints Toby, even when he's only in something for 10 minutes, incidentally, I hear Detectorists is coming back, that will be fun.

bannedfromHandV Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Finished 1899 last night. I enjoyed it although similar to Dark (made by the same people), I’m left with more questions than answers and hoping that a second series will be commissioned. Me and the missus called it quite early on in terms of the big twist (won’t add as a spoiler) but it seems there’s definitely more to explore. My only gripe was the sound, on my surround sound system it was sometimes difficult to hear the dialogue as the sound effects and background music drowned it out occasionally. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We always watch pretty much everything with sub titles these days due to this on loads of programmes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately only for a Christmas special episode on Boxing Day rather than a full season. One of my favourite TV series! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
