Coming Soon to a Small Screen – Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story

Since premiering at the 2017 Tribeca Film Festival, Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story is continuing to make its rounds at public screenings nationwide ahead of its television and streaming premiere as part of the American Masters series on PBS station this upcoming May.

I guess since we are all enjoying the fruits of the subject’s “tinkering” – whether it be the GPS in our vehicles, or the Bluetooth and WiFi that allows me to type this post and immediately save all my edits to a server in a far away location, it is about damn time we give the full credit where it is due.

Check out this BEAUTIFUL poster for the forthcoming feature, Farewell, My Queen, a story about the last days of the French monarchy.

Shot on location at the Palace Versailles, just outside of Paris, this is a lush, visually stunning film that if you are into period dramas, palace intrigue/scandal, beautiful backdrops or magnificent costuming, it is not to be missed.

Farewell My Queen opens in limited release from the 13th of July (this Friday).

Photo Stills from “The Host”

Check out these still from the upcoming (in 2013) film The Host (photo credit: Alan Markfield).

Based on the Stephenie Meyer (Twilight series) novel of the same name, the film stars Saoirse Ronan, Jake Abel, William Hurt, Diane Kruger and Frances Fisher.

For those (like me) unfamiliar with the story, here is a synopsis (courtesy of Open Road Films):

Our world has been invaded by an unseen enemy. Humans become hosts for these invaders, their minds taken over while their bodies remain intact. Most of humanity has succumbed. When Melanie (Saoirse Ronan), one of the few remaining “wild” humans, is captured, she is certain it is her end. Wanderer, the invading “soul” who has been given Melanie’s body, was warned about the challenges of living inside a human: the overwhelming emotions, the glut of senses, the too-vivid memories.

But there was one difficulty Wanderer didn’t expect: the former tenant of her body refusing to relinquish possession of her mind.

When outside forces make Wanderer and Melanie unwilling allies, they set off on a dangerous and uncertain search for the man they both love.

Hope that does not give too much away …

The Host is directed by Andrew Niccol (Gattaca) and is scheduled for release on March 29th, 2013.
