STUNNING POSTER FOR HELEN MIRREN'S "THE TEMPEST". NEW SF SHOW "THE LOTUS CAVES". JAMIE BELL JOINS THANDIE NEWTON AND CILLIAN MURPHY IN "THE RETREAT"

The first treat for today is the first ultra cool and extra exclusive poster for "The Tempest". I mentioned this movie last week, and got quite a nice feedback from you, so check out the great poster for this adaptation of the famous Shakespeare's play about weird sorceress living on an isolated island where she plays her magical games with visitors and unsuspecting ship-wreckers. Coming to cinemas this December, "The Tempest" will have an amazing cast including Helen Mirren, Alfred Molina, Alan Cumming, Djimon Hounsou, Russell Brand, Ben Whishaw, David Strathairn... The only thing we now have to wait for is the first trailer or at least some nice teaser. The movie will have only a limited release in the USA.

Bryan Fuller, the creator of that crazy show "Pushing Daisies" will work with Syfy channel on the adaptation of "The Lotus Caves". The show will be based on the novel by John Christopher which talked about the rebellious lunar colonists as they dare to look beyond their borders and discover a bunch of brainiac aliens living in the caves from the title. A new sf show? We need more of those.

The suspense thriller "The Retreat", which I mentioned a few weeks ago, in which lovely Thandie Newton and Cillian Murphy will play a couple who go on a remote island to relax but there they meet a strange man (David Tennant) who tells them that everyone on the mainland had been killed by an airborne virus, has got a new cast member: they will be joined by young Jamie Bell as well.
