I remember watching the original mini-series in 1980. it was re-aired in '90 IIRC. I then went and got the book and finished it in 2 weeks. that was my first novel that I read that wasn't from the kids/YA section.
Cosmo Jarvis is playing Blackthorne. he looks like a landlubber. Last edited by Fishpicker; 11-06-2023 at 09:08 PM.. |

Oh yeah, I'll be all over this! I read the book and it was awesome then the mini series came out and it didn't disappoint. This should be fire with all they can do now. February can't come fast enough.

I will deficiently watch this. Looks good. Not sure of that main leaders real name but he always plays roles where he is not the lead but I have always liked him in other movies. Believe he was in The Last Samauri and 47 Ronin just to name a couple. Looks like maybe he will be the lead here.

in Shogun, he plays Toranaga. His historical counterpart is Tokugawa. Cosmo Jarvis is most likely the lead, Blackthorne. |

Looks good for sure, but always skeptical of FX. Their shows are usually hit or miss.

I need to read it first, I've always wanted to but every time I start I get distracted.
Have any of you ever read Aztec by Gary Jennings? It's similar historical fiction, but takes place right before Cortez lands on the Yucatan, it follows the story of an Aztec man. It's a huge book but it spends a ton of time exploring Aztec culture. I don't think they could make a show about it though. |
