POP CULTURE NEWS ONE HUNDRED and THIRTY
The rumor mill has been bustling for a while now about who might step into the role of James Bond. Daniel Craig left the role in 2021 after playing the role for five films across several years, which means there’s still a hole in this franchise. From Henry Cavill to Idris Elba, the names have been many, but the latest is Marvel star Aaron Taylor-Johnson.
Period drama news broke this past week that there’s an eight-part miniseries of The Count of Monte Cristo in the works. The series is in production now and will feature Sam Claflin (recently from Daisy Jones and the Six) as Edmond Dantes, though looking at the rest of the cast list seems to miss many of the key characters. It could just be an “under wraps” secret now, but names like Mercedes is absent from the cast list but Jeremy Irons is listed as playing Edmond’s prison guardian angel, Abbé Faria. There’s also a French language feature film adaptation set to release June of 2024, too. Does this make you excited? As someone who likes the 2000s flick (even though it’s likely very different than the Dumas novel), I’m curious about this miniseries!

While appearing on BBC Radio 2, the actress confirmed a final movie, and when the host, Zoe Ball said she hopes Staunton didn’t get in trouble for saying so, the actress replied, “I don’t care.” If these rumors are true, what do you want to see in a final film?
