Streamer Disney+ has revealed a power packed British cast who will join the previously announced David Tennant, Alex Hassell, Aidan Turner and Danny Dyer on the series adaptation of Jilly Cooper’s steamy novel “Rivals.”

Joining the eight-part saga are Annabel Scholey (“The Split”), Maggie Steed (“Ten Percent”), David Calder (“Motherland”), Antony Byrne (‘”The Witcher”), Denise Black (“Queer as Folk”), Bryony Hannah (“Call The Midwife”), Olivia Poulet (“Back”) and Brendan Patricks (“Downton Abbey”).

Living is a drama film starring Bill Nighy and directed by Oliver Hermanus.

An excellent remake with a brilliant performance by Bill Nighy. A great movie. However, it might not be the kind of film you feel like watching. Nonetheless, if you give it a chance, you’ll be glad you did.

Storyline

William is an elderly man who receives a devastating medical diagnosis: he has six months to live.

About the Film

Brilliant in every way, from the cinematography to the superb direction by Oliver Hermanus, who manages to transfer Kurosawa’s original film to an English setting – a challenge for any director.

It draws on and adopts from the original and is totally faithful to it, in addition to providing – and, above all, counting on – an exceptional actor in what is probably the role of his life. Billy Nighty is magnificent in a film that, once seen, could not exist without him.

"Small wonder I didn't notice what I was becoming." Sony Pictures Classics has revealed the final official US trailer for Living, the English-language remake of the beloved Akira Kurosawa film Ikiru from 1952. It's still one of the best films of the year (read my review). We already posted the US teaser trailer and a full UK trailer a few months ago. The US release is in December just before the end of the year. Set in London in the 1950s, Bill Nighy stars in the lead role as Williams, a grumpy, curmudgeonly government office worker who has an awakening when he's diagnosed with terminal cancer. He realizes he hasn't really be "living" and goes about trying to change that. Also starring Alex Sharp, Adrian Rawlins, Hubert Burton, Oliver Chris, Michael Cochrane, and Aimee Lou Wood in a breakout role as Margaret Harris.

"It does seem to me that he's changed…" "Yes." Lionsgate UK has revealed their own official UK trailer for the acclaimed film Living, the English-language remake of the beloved Akira Kurosawa film Ikiru made in 1952. We already posted the US teaser trailer a few weeks ago and with the Venice Film Festival premiere this week, marketing is finally kicking in. The US opening is set for December. Set in London in the 1950s, Bill Nighy stars in the lead role as Williams, a grumpy, curmudgeonly government office worker who has an awakening when he's diagnosed with terminal cancer. He realizes he hasn't really be "living" and goes about trying to change that.

I saw this at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year and loved it, easily one of this year's best.
