Joseph Fiennes and Eva Green will travel back to Camelot, the Starz series that re-tells the story of King Arthur. Fiennes is Merlin, while Green will be Morgana. Solid casting with both, though I’m not certain that I’ll ever be able to look at an Arthurian film or TV series without having to leap the hurdle of some of Excalibur’s actors. Nicol Williamson and Helen Mirren are pretty difficult to top as Merlin and Morgana. In this Camelot Jamie Campbell Bower is Arthur, and Tamsin Egerton is Guinevere.After the break, the great Amy Ryan goes back to HBO and Madonna’s possibly interesting new film finds its last major player.
Amy Ryan will appear opposite Gabriel Byrne on the next season of HBO’s In Treatment. She’ll play the therapist to Byrne’s Dr. Paul Weston, also a therapist. Essentially, Ryan’s character steps into the narrative position vacated by the departing Dianne Wiest. Great news for the show — you can’t ask for someone much more capable than Ryan, and she should be ideal in this role.
