2014 novel You Should Have Known by Jean Hanff Korelitz. The first reviews of the series that will air during November, seem to agree that the show could've benefited from a different casting as neither Nicole Kidman nor Hugh Grant bring nothing new to their acting style, playing the same role they've played last twenty years.
     THE UNDOING follows Grace Fraser, who is living the only life she ever wanted for herself. She's a successful therapist on the brink of publishing her first book, has a devoted husband and a young son who attends an elite private school in New York City. Weeks before her book is published, a chasm opens in her life; a violent death, a missing

ON SERBIAN WW1 HEROINE!
Flora Sandes has a street named after her in Serbia
In the light of recent armistice centennial here's a very poignant project: Mad As Birds Films will turn FLORA SANDES story into a film following the only British woman to enlist as a soldier and fight on the frontline in the First World War. It is based on Louise Miller’s book A FINE BROTHER which tells how she fought alongside the heroic Serbian Army for the Allies after moving from Victorian England to the trenches of Serbia!
FLORA SANDES joined the ambulance unit and with a group of 36 women set off for Serbia to try to aid brave Serbs who were dying in hundreds of thousands under Austro Hungarian guns and also from typhus outbreak. After that she joined the Serbian army as a private thanks to her impressive riding and shooting skills. She rose through the Serbian ranks as the only female officer in Serbian Army and was seriously wounded by a grenade in hand to hand combat. Her injuries put an end to her combat in the war but she remained near the front line to run a hospital. Later on she also wanted to fight for Serbia in WW2 but was interned by Germans. She received many medals from Serbia and is still fondly remembered there as a national heroine and a street in Belgrade is named after her.

PREMIUM SPOTLIGHT ON 'FLORENCE FOSTER JENKINS' WITH MERYL STREEP, HUGH GRANT WITH NEW CHARACTER POSTERS!

'FLORENCE FOSTER JENKINS
CHARACTER POSTERS ARE HERE!
Now, here's something we really want to see this year and the premiere is really close since it opens up in British cinemas this May (August in USA, summer in most of Europe)! FLORENCE FOSTER JENKINS in which Meryl Streep plays the worst opera singer in history who wasn't aware of her utter lack of talent.

 WORLD'S WORST SINGER 
Directed by Stephen Frears (THE QUEEN, PHILOMENA) this true life story follows FLORENCE FOSTER JENKINS, a wealthy woman from the beginning of the 20th century New York high society who used her relationships and her fortune to become an opera singer. But the problem was that she had the worst voice ever. The voice she heard in her head was beautiful, but to everyone else it was hilariously awful. Hugh Grant plays St Clair Bayfield, an aristocratic English actor and  her trusted manager and best friend who was determined to protect his beloved Florence from the truth, and Rebecca Ferguson is his long suffering wife. BING BANG THEORY's Simon Helberg is Florence's pianist. The movie tells her story through to her 1944 Carnegie Hall concert which sold some 3,000 tickets, but she died a month later. Jenkins handled distribution of the popular tickets herself, in order to exclude professional critics from attending her performances. She also designed all of her wonderfully campy and gorgeously outrageous costumes!
