Starz has released the first image of Liam McIntyre as the new lead in SPARTACUS: VENGEANCE the second season which will air in January. Amazingly written, stunningly shot and marvelously acted show comes back following the rebellion of Spartacus and other slaves who will be roaming around Greece killing Romans and seeking justice. Many of the actors from the first season (and the amazing prequel GODS OF ARENA) will be back, so we shall see again amazing Craig Parker as legatus Glaber, Viva Bianca as his naughty wife Ilithyia, Nick Tarabay as cunning Ashur, Manu Bennett as brave Crixus and Peter Mensah as Doctore. Even though we thought she got killed
in the final slaughter in the ludus, magnificent Lucretia is coming back in the marvelous performance of Lucy Lawless. She will, off course, be looking for her own vengeance for the death of her husband and son.

After Aidan Turner has joined THE HOBBIT it really was time for his super charming werewolf roomie from BBC's BEING HUMAN
show to go into films as well. As "Dark Horizonts" reports, Russell Tovey will star in British urban thriller TOWER BLOCK written by DR.WHO's and TORCHWOOD's James Moran. The intriguing story will follow the inhabitants of the titular Tower Block 31, who witness a murder, but are too scared to come forward. A year later, a sniper begins targeting them, and they’re forced into a battle for survival. Beside our favourite Russell Tovey, the cast will also include Jack O'Connell (HARRY BROWN, SKINS) and Sheridan Smith.
