I swear!
ReplyDeleteIF 2013 is anything like 2012 then I will just expect Stephen Dillane and Stephen Graham to be in every UK series I think!
Not that is such a bad thing in any way since both actors are capable of transforming into their roles.....
I don´t know anything about this show. Is it suppose to be like Broen, the danish series? It sounds a lot like it.
ReplyDeleteYes it is the English/ French version of The Bridge/ Bron/ Broen.....
ReplyDeleteNot to be confused with the US/ Mexican version.... So odd to have 2 coming out the same year.
There is a US/Mexican version aswell?! This is all news to me. I hope they both turn out good. Did the casting for the US version start yet?
ReplyDeleteI know some of the casting, but I have not seen a nice full cast break down like this one Bunky did.
ReplyDeleteDiane Kruger and Ted Levine will be the 2 leads and Annabeth Gish was also cast. It will be on FX I know, but I honestly am not sure of the official title even. I think I read it could be called "The Border"..... I do not recall where I read that though.
The little bit I know does sound good though, Kruger, Levine and FX are three strong points!
Thanks, Darque. Sounds like good casting and Fx is an extra bonus.
ReplyDeleteTed Levine will be playing Kruger's boss (he actually looks quite a bit like the original actor too). Demian Bichir will be playing the second lead of the Mexican detective. Bichir was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor last year and was Nancy's drug kingpin boyfriend on "Weeds".
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info!
ReplyDeleteLike I said I had read bits and pieces bit nothing outside of those actors being cast, not their roles. So it's nice to get some clarification...
