JAMES CAMERON SHOOTING A FILM ABOUT "CIRQUE DU SOLEIL". STUNNING 1ST TRAILER FOR EPIC SAGA "THE BORGIAS". TOM HARDY AND SHIA LABEOUF GOING TO "THE WETTEST COUNTY IN THE WORLD"

The show I've been mentioning a lot this year, THE BORGIAS, has finally got its first trailer. Coming next year to Showtime instead of THE TUDORS, from director Neil Jordan (CRYING GAME, INTERVIEW WITH A VAMPIRE) and producer Michael Hirst (THE TUDORS, ELIZABETH THE GOLDEN AGE),
the new historical saga will follow the inglorious Borgia family which was very powerful in Italy during the Renaissance. Jeremy Irons plays Rodrigo Borgia, the cunning, manipulative patriarch of the Borgia family who ascends to the highest circles of power using his cunning plots and unscrupulous intrigues. At the beginning of the series he becomes Pope, propelling himself, his two Machiavellian sons Cesare (François Arnaud) and Juan (David Oakes), and his scandalously beautiful daughter, Lucrezia (Holliday Grainger), to become the most powerful and influential family of the Italian Renaissance. The cast also includes acting legends Colm Feore and Derek Jacobi and the composer Trevor Morris.


And here's another cool cast in another unpromising film: according to "MovieWeb" Tom Hardy and Shia LaBeouf will star together in a prohibition-era dramatic thriller THE WETTEST COUNTY IN THE WORLD,  which will be an adaptation of Matt Bondurant's  novel about a family of Prohibition-era bootleggers, and crimes committed by and against them.

According to "Deadline" James Cameron will make a 3D family adventure set inside the world of the famous CIRQUE DU SOLEIL. The production will use  3D-captured performances from different CIRQUE DU SOLEIL shows in Las Vegas and insert them as the backdrop for a mysterious world that the main character is magically transported into. The project is apparently one third completed.
