I think we will know if we haven't heard anything by March/April.

**Always & Forever** · 02-11-2017, 05:39 PM

It's been almost a year since the show ended!

destroyer of worlds · 02-12-2017, 09:05 AM

Too long.

**Always & Forever** · 02-13-2017, 02:51 PM

And not enough news during that time period.

**Always & Forever** · 02-16-2017, 03:39 PM

Thought I'd bring this over from the Hayley thread!

Hayley Atwell to Star in Howards End Adaptation for Starz, BBC

A British literature classic is getting an update, thanks to Starz and the BBC.

Hayley Atwell (Agent Carter, Conviction) will headline a miniseries adaptation of Howards End, based on the E.M. Forster novel, to be co-produced by Starz and BBC One. Set in circa-1900 England, Howards End explores the social and class divisions of the time through three families; Atwell will star as well-read idealist Margaret Schlegel.

Joining Atwell in the cast are Matthew Macfadyen (Ripper Street), who’ll play Henry Wilcox, and Tracey Ullman, who’ll play Aunt Juley Mund. Oscar-nominated writer Kenneth Lonergan (Manchester by the Sea) will pen the script for the four-part miniseries, which will air on Starz in the U.S. and BBC One in the UK; Doctor Who alum Hettie Macdonald will direct.

Howards End was previously made into an acclaimed 1992 Merchant-Ivory film, starring Emma Thompson, Anthony Hopkins and Helena Bonham Carter. In fact, Thompson won the Oscar for Best Actress for playing Margaret — the same role Atwell will be playing.

No where near enough

**Always & Forever** · 02-18-2017, 06:12 PM

At least we just got a little something about Hayley.

**stlavin95** · 02-24-2017, 11:05 PM

That's good

destroyer of worlds · 02-25-2017, 10:38 AM

Thanks for bringing that over, Jess.

An old article which was written just before the Season 2 finale

that I just found:

Quote:

Why did you choose to incorporate the Doctor Strange zero matter/darkforce mythology into this season?

Fazekas: We knew that we had wanted to get into a little bit more of the Marvel universe as far as having superpowers. The cool thing about darkforce when you look into it is, in the comic book universe, it's this very versatile thing. It can be a gas, a solid, a liquid. It gives people superpowers, it makes people villains. It can kill you. We liked all of that and how we could mold it into the story we wanted to tell. We knew that we wanted Jason Wilkes to be afflicted by it and by the end of the second episode, both he and Whitney Frost are exposed to it. It's going to have very different results for both of them. It accomplished a lot of things with one cool, simple element. It's also fun because, because we're in 1947, people don't know what they've come upon. That's why they named it zero matter. They don't know what it is or where it comes from. You're seeing the very beginnings of people trying to figure out what this is.

Seeing as how both Jason and Whitney were affected by the zero matter, is that going to change them both physically and psychologically moving forward?

Butters: It's going to be both. It's impossible to go through such a physical alteration and not have that affect you mentally. It definitely does take its toll.

Fazekas: You see at the end of the second episode how it affects Whitney. She has this little crack on her forehead. The way we designed that is it should look like a crack in porcelain. It's not how skin would normally react. There's already something weird about that. We'll get to see moving forward how it affects Whitney and with Jason, a bit of a spoiler, we will see him again. Although he will be quite different when we do.

How will those changes affect his blossoming relationship with Peggy?

Butters: It definitely makes it more interesting.

Fazekas: It's a bit of a barrier. (Laughs). In many ways.

Introducing Jason to the show gave Peggy the chance to comment on racism in that time period, just like she also speaks her mind on sexism. Are we going to see her continue to do that throughout the whole season?

Fazekas: In the first season, we dealt with a lot of sexism during that time period. When we introduce a character who is African-American, we didn't want to do it and just pretend there's no racism in 1947 and everything's pretty. We wanted to be careful about addressing that and addressing this interracial relationship. He's an African-American man who is a scientist and the way they connect in addition to having a nice chemistry, and he's very handsome and charismatic, he's used to people looking at him and making judgments about him based on what he looks like. And so is Peggy. They connect on that level. And that gives Peggy the chance to confront racism, and she deals with it the way you would expect her to deal with it. It becomes a part of the story and the decisions he makes down the line, it's all informed in part by that.

Butters: We didn't want to just have an African-American character and not talk about that. That would have been very inauthentic.

Sousa is planning on proposing to his new girlfriend, but it's clear that he still loves Peggy. Complicating matters even more is the fact that his girlfriend and Peggy are actually becoming friends. How is that messy love triangle is going to play out over the course of the season?

Fazekas: Sousa has tried to move on with this new relationship. And we didn't want to do the old trope where the two girls don't like each other. And honestly, we felt the same way about Ana Jarvis. We didn't want to fall into that trap of, oh they're two women, so they're obviously not going to like each other. We're huge Moonlighting fans, and when they introduced Mark Harmon as a love interest, the fans of the show automatically thought they would hate this guy. He was getting in between the two characters we were shipping. But he was a really good guy. You can't help but like him. Even Bruce Willis' character liked him. So we took a page from that.

Butters: We made her a good person and somebody who, of course Sousa would fall for her. She's cool. Sarah Bolger who plays her is just adorable. It makes it messier and more complicated. If you hated her, it would be easy and lame. I like that she's likeable. I like that Peggy likes her. You can't fault Sousa for falling for her.

The Hydra lapel pin has been spotted twice so far, first when Dottie (Bridget Regan) was trying to steal it from the SSR and then second when Peggy finds one in the car of the men who were chasing her –

Butters: That's actually not Hydra.

Fazekas: It's a pin, but it's not Hydra.

Interesting. It looked like the same symbol from Agents of SHIELD this season coinciding with the Hydra/NASA program.

Butters: It's actually an "A."

Fazekas: We will unpack what that means but it's not Hydra.

Butters: It's actually from the Marvel Universe. You'll find out that there's this thing called the Secret Empire. In the Marvel comic book universe, it's the Council of Nine, or sometimes the Council of 12. It's basically a group of rich white guys who control everything. (Laughs.) But it's not Hydra.

Are we going to see Dottie again now that she's in FBI custody?

Fazekas: Yes, in a really fun way. We all love writing for her. And Bridget Regan loves being on this show. There's a dance number coming up with some of the dancers from Dancing With the Stars. It's a dream sequence. I will say Bridget Regan was a professional ballroom dancer. When she found out we were doing a dance number, she was calling and tweeting everyone, "Please let me be in this!"

Butters: She was like, "I'll even do it for free!" (Laughs.)

Fazekas: That's going to be really fun. We're very proud of this season as a whole. It was nice to have 10 episodes to really explore these characters and have fun doing it. Bringing the show to Old Hollywood also was a great way to refresh the show. It looks beautiful. And while Hayley looks good in everything, boy does LA look really nice on her.

Thanks for sharing that, Sarah!

It's even nice to see some old news sometimes.

destroyer of worlds · 02-27-2017, 08:43 AM

Yup, it makes me a bit happy to see new (old) articles.

**Always & Forever** · 02-27-2017, 04:10 PM

Old news is better than no news, I guess.

**Always & Forever** · 03-09-2017, 03:39 PM

I'm gonna start the new thread b/c I had a title in my mind & I want to get it down before I forget.
