Because you asked for it... THE QUEEN sequel in the works!!!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I kid in the headline, but it is true. Peter Morgan is going ahead with a sequel to THE QUEEN. It's actually more the third in a "Tony Blair Trilogy." The first being THE DEAL which he did for BBC4.
Michael Sheen is expected to come back as Mr. Blair and the flick will focus on the time in which Blair's like-minded ally Bill Clinton left office and he had to work with Dubya who was completely on the other end of the political spectrum. Stephen Frears won't return to direct, but Tom Hooper has stepped in to helm.
Thought ya' might want to know.

Awsome!
-
Both The Deal and The Queen were excellent. I think this could be a fascinating follow up. To call it a sequel might be a little demeaning. I wouldn't call The Queen a sequel to The Deal. Just a wider exploration of these historic figures and subject matter. If Dench and Sheen and Freares return then this could be great.
-
....is it about the Queen or is it about Tony Blair?
-
Well I'm still interested. How about that?
-
Really, he nailed that guy and THE QUEEN was an excellent movie. It's not a film I was interested in in the slightest, but when I caught it almost by accident, it took me completely by surprise.
Fantastic cast (esp. Mirren & Sheen, but also James Cromwell), stunnig score by Alexander Desplat and clever direction by Frears.
If they can keep up the quality on that level, I say keep 'em coming! -
...really swiftly, and yet the news that not only is a Solomon Kane movie officially on the way, but the director has been set (Deathwatch's Michael J. Bassett) and the lead has been cast with Rome's James Purefoy taking on the role of the iconic puritan avenger. Yet this hasn't warranted even a passing mention, despite the news being around for a couple days now. What, R. E. Howard's pulp heroes aren't cool anymore, and nobody told me? Damn.Personally there's so much damn potential for a cool Solomon Kane film, and Purefoy was superb as Mark Antony in Rome, so he certainly has the chops for the role, even though I always kind of picture Kane as a more gaunt looking and dead eyed presence, kinda like Lance Henriksen back in his genre glory days. Still, a project I'll definitely be keeping an eye on and hoping for the best from, that's for sure.

More4 not BBC4
-
It was Dame Helen 'Funbags' Mirren.
-
I'm thinking a hilarious cartoon chimp. It'll be so funny when Blair tries to explain the tortuous history of British intervention in the Middle East while George is humping his leg.
-
was awesome. Where he lost it and went defensive about the monarchy which was hilarious since the film pretty much proved they are completly pointless human beings.
-
Bigger, faster, driftier.
-
Fuck you.
-
Fuck me.
-
Fuck him.
-
Fuck her.
-
Fuck them.
-
That sucks. like someone else said he is the 'arty' Gore Verbenski, done everything. I loved The Queen but I prefer to see Superheroes and giant robots.

Call it 'Blair'!Wonder if Her Madge is playing Halo3 at the moment?''Phillip! grab a controller and help one defeat the Flood, it's frightfully Forking tricky! Oh and get Geeves to bring me another platter of toasted teacakes and a pot of Earl Grey''
-
Plus why on earth do they keep "the flood" in Halo, worse part of playing the campaign is the flood. well that and the shitty story.

Sasha Mitchell and Helen Mirren gonna fuck Tong Po up.

Sasha Mitchel, Michael Dudikoff and Helen Mirren vs Bebop and Rocksteady.

Sasha Mitchell, Tong Po, Helen Mirren and Hal Jordan are chosen to lead new recruits in the Kickboxing Corps.
-
Sasha Mitchell, Tong Po, Jane Fonda, Helen Mirren, Hal Jordan and Nick Fury after a long night of cheap hookers and expensive scotch lead a covert team of polar bears to take over Jean Claude Van Damme who has figured out the Anti-Life Equation.
-
You know I'm right.
-
Sinestro comes back from the Anti-Matter Universe where he was Queen to take over Helen Mirren as Queen of the positive matter universe. To make matters worse Parallax has infected Prince Phillip now known as Phillax. Sasha Mitchell, Tong Po, Hal Jordan, Jane Fonda, Chi McBride and Jimmy Hoffa stage a last minute defense against the sentient city of Buenos Aires who has launched a full scale attack on Mogo the Green Lantern Planet. But Shia LeBeouf says his will is just as strong as the other guy so he will lead a calvary comprised of Vin Diesel, Steven Seagal, Mark Twain, Batman, McGuyver, Detective Stabler, Forge, Charles Bronson and Tom Cruise just in time to fuck these motherfucker up.
-
Fuck all.
-
Could be worse though. George Bush could be our head of state, Messi. And you guys actually voted for him. An un-elected head of state beats the horrible politics of an elected head of state. The Monarch is only a constitutonal monarch. They know their job is to look good on money, and wave graciously and open parliament. They know whats happens if they get too big for there boots - we cut there heads off :)
-
...Directed by Stallone!
-
Michael Sheen makes a better Tony Blair than Blair himself does.

DO A REMAKE!

They should do a countdown weekly series to this movie. Paul Dini should write.

You know, actually understanding why she should stop being an unsympathetic cunt that her people can't relate to as a real person? Probably not, it'll be based on a true story again . . .

Trust me, as a fan, it makes sense.
-
On his return from Iraq, William walks the earth gaining enlightment,fucks Theresa Russell, and meets Somerset Maugham.
-
I'm sure this will still be interesting since the scripts and Sheen were excellent for the previous two projects. But not attempting to cover the run-up to the Iraq war seems less of a brave decision and more like chickening out. They were willing to speculate before, why not now? An opportunity missed. And was The Deal first shown on More4? I thought its first airing was on Channel4, but I could be wrong.

It was late. I don't know what I was thinking. Sometimes Judi Dench just pops into my head and she won't go away. MMMMM. There she is again.

I look forward to a British take on Dubya. In the Eighties, the seminal satirical puppet show Spitting Image had a strand about Reagan called "The President's Brain is Missing." I suggest the director of this new film considers a similar approach to the Texan Tyrant.
