His Dark Materials – OMG Check It Out ! https://omgcheckitout.com Wed, 27 Feb 2019 07:52:40 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.3 BBC Drops First Trailer For New Adaptation of “His Dark Materials” https://omgcheckitout.com/bbc-drops-first-trailer-for-new-adaptation-of-his-dark-materials/ Thu, 28 Feb 2019 06:27:43 +0000 https://omgcheckitout.com/?p=30128 His Dark Materials is one of the most anticipated new shows of the year, and we’ve just got a first glimpse into this magical world. BBC dropped a short, but glorious teaser for the highly-anticipated adaptation of Philip Pullman’s beloved trilogy.

His Dark Materials is set between many parallel worlds, and it follows two children embarking on a magical adventure through these alternative universes. It’s the second attempt to adapt this popular sci-fi series, following The Golden Compass from 2007 which failed to capture the spirit of the first novel.

The two episodes of the upcoming adaptation will be directed by Oscar winner Tom Hooper. Jack Thorne was in charge of writing the screenplay and did everything in his power not to disappoint the fans of the original trilogy.

“You realize that you’ve got a responsibility not to let them down, but you’re really excited about being given the opportunity to play in that amazing, amazing world. The most important thing is being loyal to the books, and trying to tell those books as well as we possibly can,” explained Thorne.

The first season of this promising project will premiere later this year on BBC. Its star-studded cast features the likes of Dafne Keen, Ruth Wilson, James McAvoy and Lin-Manuel Miranda.

5 Upcoming TV Shows You Shouldn’t Miss in 2019 https://omgcheckitout.com/5-upcoming-tv-shows-you-shouldnt-miss-in-2019/ Fri, 04 Jan 2019 06:18:24 +0000 https://omgcheckitout.com/?p=28712 We’ll have to wave goodbye to many of our favorite series in 2019, but when one door closes… another one opens! Here’s five highly-anticipated TV shows we’ll obsessing about in the next 12 months.

The Twilight Zone

Remakes of beloved classics are usually a no-no, but we’re counting on Jordan Peele to get this one right since he gave us one of the best modern horrors with Get Out.

Watchmen

HBO is waving goodbye to Game of Thrones in 2019, but it seems it’s got another big hit on their hands. This epic story is set in the world where society treats superheroes as outlaws.

Good Omens

A hilarious satire about a demon and an angel forming an unlikely friendship and trying to prevent the apocalypse, based on a novel by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman? Sign us up!

His Dark Materials

The Golden Compass from 2007 might have been a disappointment, but we’re finally getting the adaptation of Philip Pullman’s book series we deserve in 2019.

Euphoria

Zendaya is one of those actresses who are always a delight to watch, and we can’t wait to see her in this HBO show about a group of teens grappling with complex issues.
