   A THOUSAND BLOWS  

FIRST IMAGES FROM THE SECOND SEASON

Although it feels like this one only just aired, Disney Plus did order it for two seasons originally so they are already ready to give us the second season from January 9th. A THOUSANDS BLOWS will stream on Hulu in USA like the last time with Malachi Kirby, Erin Doherty and Stephen Graham returning to the 1880s London! Ned Dennehy and Catherine McCormack join the cast as Bull Jeremy and Sophie Lyons, with Daniel Mays and Jason Tobin returning from the first season.

  WHAT TO EXPECT FROM SEASON 2? 

With the characters continuing their battle for survival in the brutal East End of London in the 1880s, season two picks up one year after the events of season one. Hezekiah (Kirby)’s a shadow of the man he once was whilst Sugar Goodson (Graham) is estranged from his family and drinking himself to death. Just as Wapping is about to sigh its last breath, Mary Carr (Doherty) bursts back into town with her loyal second, Alice Diamond, to reassemble her gang and reclaim her crown. As always, Mary has a plan; one which will involve all those she holds dearest. And this time it’s riskier than ever.

SEE FIRST IMAGES FROM HISTORICAL MOVIE 1812: HUNT ON THE EMPEROR SET DURING NAPOLEON'S UNSUCCESSFUL INVASION OF RUSSIA

 1812: HUNT ON THE EMPEROR 

FIRST HISTORICAL MOVIE IMAGES

Your trusted spy has been over to Russia to bring you first images from their new historical movie 1812: HUNT ON THE EMPEROR (1812. Охота на Императора) which is currently in production and should arrive sometime next year directed by Alexei Pimanov and starring Stanislav Bondarenko, Milana Bru, Ivan Shibanov and Pavel Krainov. 

 THE STORY OF THE FILM IS SET IN 1812.

 After the great Battle of Borodino, French troops enter Moscow. But... what's this?! The streets of Moscow are deserted. Yet Napoleon's army was accustomed to something quite different. Crowds of, if not enthusiastic, then at least curious citizens. This was the case in all the capitals of Europe. But in Moscow – no one! As one of Napoleon's adjutants later wrote, it was then that they began to realize they would lose the war to this people. Empty streets, cawing crows, smiles fading from the French faces. Napoleon's adjutant, Michel Clément, marches on Moscow with a personal goal: to avenge a distant Russian ancestor, whom Tsar Vasily III locked in the Kremlin Tower and starved to death. He hates Russians, considering them barbarians. In the Kremlin, he encounters the few remaining monks of the Chudov Monastery, who have decided to... kill the Antichrist, that is, Napoleon himself. They are joined by a young girl, Maria, who has infiltrated the Kremlin and is obsessed with vengeance for her dead brother. She falls in love with Michel Clément, who is unaware of her true intentions.
