Kenneth Branagh – OMG Check It Out ! https://omgcheckitout.com Tue, 27 Nov 2018 14:19:16 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.3 Disney Unveils the First Teaser For Upcoming Adaptation of “Artemis Fowl” https://omgcheckitout.com/artemis-fowl-first-teaser-trailer/ Wed, 28 Nov 2018 07:12:11 +0000 https://omgcheckitout.com/?p=27732 Fans of the Artemis Fowl novels spent years hoping their favorite book series will get to live its second life on the big screen. Their prayers have finally been answered when Disney dropped an epic new teaser trailer based on the first novel.

Described by its author Eoin Colfer as “Die Hard with fairies,” this series tells the story of 12-year old criminal mastermind Artemis Fowl who bites more than he can chew after kidnaping a powerful fairy, in the hope her magic will save his family.

Kenneth Branagh, who enjoyed huge success with the live-action remake of Cinderella, will be in charge of directing Disney’s latest. The Oscar-nominated filmmaker revealed that The Godfather served as the main influence for him as both projects feature protagonists experiencing loss of innocence after learning more about their complex family history.

Around 1,200 boys auditioned for the role of the titular character, but newcomer Ferdia Shaw was the one who proved he’s up for the challenge. This big screen-adaptation will premiere on August 9, 2019, and it also stars Lara McDonnell, Josh Gad, and Judi Dench.

Gal Gadot Lands Key Role in “Death on the Nile” https://omgcheckitout.com/gal-gadot-death-on-the-nile/ Mon, 01 Oct 2018 06:32:07 +0000 https://omgcheckitout.com/?p=26104 Murder on the Orient Express sequel is coming to theaters near you next year, and its cast is already shaping up to be amazing. Gal Gadot just landed one of the key roles in the upcoming adaptation of the classic novel Death on the Nile.

This exciting project is based on another of Agatha Christie’s murder mysteries, solved by the legendary detective Hercule Poirot. The action takes place in Egypt this time around and centers on the murder of a young heiress.

Gadot will portray rich socialite Linnet Doyle, tangled up in a complicated romance which leads to tragedy, leaving detective Poirot to solve the mystery. Just like the rest of Christie’s stories, Death on the Nile comes with a colorful collection of supporting characters, who all happen to be suspects in the case.

Kenneth Branagh directed and starred in the previous installment in this growing franchise, but it’s still unclear if he’ll return for the sequel. Death on the Nile will be released in theaters on December 20, 2019, and the rest of the cast is yet to be announced.
