DELIGHTFUL SWEET TOOTH TRAILER IS HERE FOR NETFLIX' NEW FANTASY TV SERIES! FLORENCE PUGH TO LEAD 19TH CENTURY IRELAND SET MOVIE DRAMA THE WONDER

Florence Pugh will shoot Wonder this August

In our favourite period set genre news today, after her critically acclaimed role in Lady Macbeth (which wasn't overly great if you ask me, though), Florence Pugh is returning to the big gowns and historical costumes in THE WONDER a big screen adaptation of Emma Donoghue's novel with director Sebastian Lelio behind the helm. To start shooting in Ireland this August, it will have the story set in Irish Midlands, 1859 and follows an English nurse, Lib Wright (Florence Pugh), who is summoned to a tiny village to observe what some are claiming as a medical anomaly or a miracle – a girl said to have survived without food for months. Tourists have flocked to the cabin of eleven year old and a journalist has come down to cover the sensation. The Wonder is a tale of two strangers who transform each other’s lives, a psychological thriller, and a story of love pitted against evil. Stay tuned for more casting news on the project.

 

Along with the sad news that The Last Kingdom will end with the currently shooting season 5, Netflix has also released the airing date and trailer for their charming new fantasy series SWEET TOOTH which will arrive to the streamer June 4th based on a DC comic book series.
