Sean Bean is set to pilot Jason Bourque's action-thriller film Drone.
Myriad Pictures will handle worldwide sales, excluding Canada, for the film that will co-star Patrick Sabongui (300, Godzilla).
Written by Bourque (Black Fly) and Paul Birkett, Drone is a ripped-from-the-headlines story about Neil (Bean), a high-level private drone contractor who spends his workdays flying covert missions then returns to a family life of suburban mediocrity, where not even Neil’s wife or his son know about his secret life. But Neil's juggling act of husband, father and armchair warrior comes to a crashing halt when a whistleblowing site exposes him to a deadly threat. Believing Neil is responsible for the deaths of his wife and child, an enigmatic Pakistani businessman (Sabongui) has tracked him down. A harrowing confrontation takes place in Neil's house, which proves to be far more complex than a simple act of revenge.
Myriad Pictures is introducing Drone to buyers this week in Cannes. Deals have already been closed with Signature Entertainment in the U.K., Minerva in Italy, Eagle Films in the Middle East and Dexin Films in the former Yugoslavia.
The film starts shooting this week in India and then moves to Vancouver.

The second lives of ‘Game of Thrones’ killed-off actors
NEW YORK TIMES
By Robert RorkeApril 17, 2015 | 11:47am

After Catelyn’s untimely demise during the Red Wedding, Fairley picked up two series, almost back-to-back: “24: Live Another Day,” where she played assassin Margot Al-Harazi, and “Resurrection,” where she played Margaret Langston, a spooky woman who returned from the dead in a town where such rebounds have become commonplace. Next up for the Irish actress: a role in Ron Howard’s “Moby Dick” drama “In the Heart of the Sea.”
Bean was one of the first Starks to go to the other side, but he has not been forgotten, neither on the series nor in real life. He is currently starring on the TNT series “Legends” as Martin Odum, an FBI agent who is something of a shape-shifter. He is also filming a movie, “Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt,” based on the Anne Rice (“Interview With the Vampire”) novel about the early life of Jesus Christ.

Death never takes a holiday on HBO’s “Game of Thrones.” Karma is real and the Grim Reaper can jet from Meereen to King’s Landing and Braavos and back again — laying waste to lives and dynasties. Luckily, the actors who have departed so hastily from the series, now in its fifth season, have bounced back in other TV shows and movies that are filmed around the world. Here’s where you can see them next.

Anthony Hopkins, Ian McKellen team for Starz movie 'The Dresser'
ENTERTAINMENT
By Natalie Abrams on Jan 9, 2015 at 7:06PM @NatalieAbrams

Anthony Hopkins and Ian McKellen will team together for the first time in Starz’s adaptation of Ronald Harwood’s classic play The Dresser, the network announced at the Television Critics Association’s winter TV previews.
Based on Harwood’s own experiences as a dresser for the distinguished British actor Sir Donald Wolfit, the movie is set against the backdrop of World War II. Hopkins (Silence of the Lambs, Thor) will portray Sir, while McKellen (Lord of the Rings, X-Men) will play his dresser, Norman.
“The Dresser is a timeless and poignant story about the relationship between artists, and to have this classic play brought to life on-screen by such acting giants as Anthony Hopkins and Ian McKellen is thrilling,” says Starz Managing Director Carmi Zlotnik. “We are glad to be working in partnership again with the BBC and Colin Callender on this very special project, and to be establishing a relationship with acclaimed theater producer Sonia Friedman.”

‘Game of Thrones’ Alumnus Sean Bean to Lead ‘Frankenstein Chronicles’
VARIETY
Leo Barraclough
Leo Barraclough
November 17, 2014
Actor Sean Bean, whose credits include “Game of Thrones” and “Lord of the Rings,” will star in “The Frankenstein Chronicles,” a re-imagining of Mary Shelley’s monster tale as a six-part period crime drama.
Executive producers are Rainmark Films’ Tracey Scoffield and Frank Doelger, whose credits include “Game of Thrones,” “Rome” and “John Adams.”
The series has been created by director and writer Benjamin Ross, who was nominated for a Primetime Emmy for “RKO 281,” and writer Barry Langford (“Torte Bluma”). Ross will direct the series.
Rainmark is producing for U.K. broadcaster ITV. Endemol Worldwide Distribution will be responsible for international sales outside U.K./Ireland.
The series is set in London in 1827 with Bean playing Inspector John Marlott. It opens with the discovery of the corpse of a child that turns out to be a crude assembly of body parts. Marlott accepts the challenge to track the perpetrator of this crime.
“Marlott’s investigation takes him into the dark corners of Regency London,” Ross said. “He discovers an underworld of prostitution, drug smuggling, bodysnatching, and murder for profit. The rational evidence points first one-way and then another as he contemplates a frightening alternate scenario.”
ITV’s director of drama, Steve November, and controller of drama, Victoria Fea, have commissioned the series for ITV Encore.
The series will be produced by David Tanner for Rainmark and Carol Moorhead.
Filming will begin in Northern Ireland, with funding from Northern Ireland Screen, in January 2015, and further casting will be announced in due course.

Fifth bride lucky for ladies man Sean Bean?
EXPRESS

To be fair to Sean Bean, he didn’t quite use the words “Never again”.
But he came pretty close, speaking not long after his last divorce three years ago, when he told a magazine interviewer: “Of course I believe in love.
"There is nobody who doesn’t believe in love.
"But marriage – that fits some people but obviously not me.”
Instead of worrying about his love life, he added, he would rather spend his time gardening.
But this weekend it’s a fair bet the autumn leaves are piling up unswept at his Italian-style house in a cobbled mews in North London’s exclusive Belsize Park.
That’s because he has marriage on his mind once more.
The 55-year-old actor, whose profile has soared with his roles in the blockbusting film trilogy The Lord of the Rings and the small-screen fantasy series Game of Thrones, has just popped the question to his 29-year-old girlfriend Ashley Moore and she has agreed to become the fifth Mrs Bean.
While that doesn’t quite put her four-times-divorced fiancé in the same league as serial knot-tiers Elizabeth Taylor and Zsa-Zsa Gabor, he’s getting pretty close to the tally of Henry VIII (by whom, incidentally, his character was once executed in a 2003 mini-series).
Born in Sheffield, where his father owned a steel firm, Shaun (as his name was spelled in those days) was 21 when he married his school sweetheart, hairdresser Debra James, in 1981.
On paper they lasted seven years but in reality the marriage was over as soon as it started.

Having taken a drama class at Rotherham College of Art & Technology, he moved to London to take up a place at Rada shortly after they wed.
They visited each other at weekends but it fizzled very soon.
“I’m very happy for him now,” Debra has said.
“I’m delighted he found something he really wanted to do and has made a real success of it.
"We were just two kids who fell in love.
"But it never worked out.”

Sean Bean joins Matt Damon in the cast of Ridley Scott's film of The Martian...
DEN OF GEEK
Simon Brew 10/21/2014 at 10:04AM

The human movie spoiler returns. Sean Bean, next to be seen on the big screen in The Wachowskis' delayed Jupiter Ascending, has landed a role in Ridley Scott's upcoming adaptation of Andy Weir's book, The Martian.
Bean joins a cast that includes Matt Damon, Jeff Daniels, Kate Mara, Michael Pena, Kristen Wiig, and Jessica Chastain. And he'll be taking on the role of NASA's flight director in the movie. Having read the book over the past week, unless there's a significant detour taking with the screenplay, this role is going to offer something radically different for Bean: survival chances.

Sean Bean: (spoilers) LEGENDS: "CHEMISTRY" REVIEW
IGN
AUGUST 20, 2014 Warning: Full spoilers for the episode follow...

While still maintaining a fair amount of rough, rudimentary elements ("No more of that cowboy s***!" Larter's Agent McGuire scolds), "Chemistry" improved upon the pilot episode by not only keeping Sean Bean's Martin Odum mostly out of the undercover game, but also by focusing more intently on the larger conspiracy arc started last week with the murders of Bobby and the homeless man.
In fact, a whole new character - in Morris Chestnut's Agent Rice - was introduced to the series specifically to deal with the conspiracy side of the story. He's not even a part of Odum's usual team and exists, now, just to follow up on Odum's initial side investigation. Which, at this point, only serves to make Odum suspicious in Rice's eyes.
Also, by having the "case of the week" get drawn out over (who looks like) two episodes, it helps blend the show together into a much more serialized affair. And it also helped make Odum's undercover work seem more vital and important. Because hearing that he's the best undercover agent over and over gets tiring very quickly. And so "Chemistry" worked to show us just how important the decision is for Odum to go back into the field, calling upon one of his established identities, so quickly after the "Founding Father" events of the premiere. The show is making sure that the psychological dangers are evident and ever-pressing.

SEAN BEAN EVEN DIES WHEN HE CHECKS HIS EMAIL IN THIS FUNNY OR DIE VIDEO
FAST COMPANY

Sean Bean's most famous onscreen death is when Ned Stark meets the business end of an executioner's sword in the first season of Game Of Thrones, but it's far from the only time that he's met a grisly end on screen. As Boromir in Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, he goes down valiantly defending his little hobbit homies after not one, not two, but three Uruk-hai arrows make their way into his meaty parts. The "Sean Bean death reel" supercut collecting his various death scenes from 21 different films doesn't even contain them all.
The awareness of Sean Bean's tendency to die onscreen is a big part of the marketing campaign for TNT's new FBI drama Legends, in which Bean stars as an undercover agent who questions his own sanity after an encounter with a mysterious stranger. Building a campaign around a #DontKillSeanBean hashtag is perhaps a surprisingly meta and vaguely campy way to promote a heavy-sounding show that deals with dark themes, but it is considerate of the network to take into account that Bean's fans are conditioned to expect him to meet a gruesome end pretty much every time he shows up on their screen, and to mitigate those concerns.

7 Questions With … Sean Bean of TNT’s Legends
CHANNEL GUIDE
By Kellie Freeze
Thursday, August 7, 2014 3:07 pm

I had a phone number and I was afraid to dial it. That’s how I felt before I interviewed Sean Bean. He’s well known for playing tough and intimidating characters like Ned Stark in Game of Thrones and Boromir in The Lord of the Rings trilogy, and even as the bad guys in Patriot Games and GoldenEye, he’s as much known for his intensity as he is for his often spectacular death scenes. So when it came time to call him on the phone to talk about his new TNT series, Legends, I’ll admit I was a wee bit nervous. And excited.
When Sean answered his phone, instead of a growl, his greeting of “Hello Kellie,” was more like a purr. I was instantly smitten. There is something about his voice that is both powerful and terrifying and utterly, utterly sexy. And charming. I was amazed by how funny he is and how often Sean laughed during our interview. I’d like to think that it’s because I’m that delightful, but I suspect it’s because Sean isn’t as scary as he appears on screen. That’s probably why he’s a terrific actor, and if you think about the words I’ve used to describe him: tough, intimidating, intense, powerful, funny, sexy, you’ll know why he’s perfectly suited to play multiple characters in TNT’s thriller, Legends. Bean can play a variety of diverse characters because he’s a multi-faceted person.
I have seen the series’ first two episode and they’re even more riveting than the show’s trailers. I can’t wait for more episodes. The entire cast is fantastic, but Sean Bean is mesmerizing and it’s going to be a delicious and torturous treat to wait a week between episodes, as I’ve gotten a bit spoiled by binge TV watching. Sean hadn’t yet watched any of Legends’ completed episodes so he peppered me with questions about what made the final cut and what hadn’t.
Then I asked Sean our 7 Questions and found his answers the exact opposite of what I expected. Perhaps you’ll agree that you may know Sean Bean the actor, but you hardly know Sean Bean the man.
1. You’re at a magazine rack and can only pick three titles. Which ones do you choose?
I don’t read many magazines. I read Gardeners’ World Magazine. It’s a British magazine. It sounds rather mundane, but it’s my favorite. (Laughs) Oh God, there’s plenty. I suppose, Sheffield United — they’re my football team, I love their weekly magazine. I also read The Guardian.
2. If your TV carried just three shows or networks, what would they be?
I like Discovery and National Geographic. I love Pawn Stars, I’ve been watching a lot of television and I like Mountain Men on The History Channel. They’ve got a guy called Tom, an old guy, who’s a lovely chap.
3. What are three things that you have to have in your fridge or pantry?
Milk, eggs — that sounds a bit boring, doesn’t it? — And blueberries.

Save Sean Bean goes viral…
BRITISH WEEKLY
August 2, 2014 9:50 am·

Sean Bean has appeared in blockbuster films and TV shows as well as small independent movies, but he rarely comes out of them unscathed. Having been run off a cliff by rampaging cows, shot in the neck with a grappling hook, beheaded and quartered by horses in his 31-year acting career, the Sheffield-born actor hasn’t had much luck cheating death.
Bean himself has acknowledged his fictional mortality, saying: “I’ve died a lot of different deaths. Maybe it’s the quality of my death people are fascinated by. I liked Lord of the Rings. Big death.”
Now, after a tongue-in-cheek plea by fans, the producers of Bean’s latest TV series, titled Legends, have launched #DontKillSeanBean on social media in order to try to keep Bean alive in his new show. The campaign has already gone viral after launching over the weekend, with T-shirts supporting the hashtag appearing at San Diego Comic-Con.
Tricia Melton, a marketing executive at TNT, the cable channel set to air the show, said: “Sean laughed out loud when we first talked to him about it and is 100 per cent behind not getting killed in Legends. He’s got a great sense of humour and is enjoying the fun the fans are having.”

Sean Bean: ‘Legends’ Premieres At ATX Television Festival; Get The Scoop On TNT's New Psychological Thriller
INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS TIMES
By Megan Schaefer@ItsMegSchaefer
on June 06 2014 4:38 PM

If you thought your day was jam-packed with drama from tiring commutes to hectic works days – you may reconsider after watching the series premiere of TNT’s upcoming series, “Legends.”
And luckily for action-seeking fans, we've got the whole scoop and nothing but the scoop of what viewers can expect before the show makes it’s nail-biting debut on Wednesday, August 13 at 9/8c – straight from the Executive Producer’s mouth!
During the third season of the ATX Festival, held in Austin, Texas, Brad Turner explained that the summer series (based on Robert Littell’s book “Legends: A Novel of Dissimulation”) will radiate a “24”-esque vibe throughout the series. That’s probably because the “Legends” EP was one of the directors responsible for the shenanigans Jack Bauer found himself in during the serialized drama. So, if you love clock-ticking, heart-stopping drama, then “Legends” is the show for you!
What can viewers expect to go down during the premiere of “Legends”? Well, the episode will open up with a nail-biting scene that will surround everyone’s favorite “Game of Thrones” character Ned Stark. Yep, that’s right! Sean Bean will be starring in the upcoming drama as Martin Odum. And according to Turner, the former “GoT” actor will be keeping his head. Phew! That’s a relief.
“He was excited to play a role he didn’t have to die in,” the EP quipped. But just because Bean’s noggin is safe – for now – doesn’t mean he won’t be close to losing it throughout “Legends.” Bean’s character will encounter his fair share of life or death drama as the series unfolds.

Sean Bean is in talks to star opposite Sally Hawkins in the romance “Maudie,” which set to start shooting in Newfoundland in July.
Bean will play a reclusive local fish peddler who hires Maud Dowley — a tiny disabled woman – to be his housekeeper for his small home. The story, set in the 1950s and 1960s, follows their romance as she becomes a well-known folk artist whose paintings hang in The White House.
Mongrel Intl., the new acquisition division of Canadian shingle Mongrel Media, is handling worldwide sales rights to the period romancer at this year’s Cannes Film Market. “Maudie,” a Canadian-Irish co-production, marks the first pickup for Mongrel Intl.

Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams says on-screen dad Sean Bean is a big softy

“I get a bit freaked out,” she said. “It hits you and I think, what would it be like if I didn’t do this? But it’s such a fantastic opportunity and I’m so grateful.
“I always had this weird thing in my head that I would have a talk show and I’d be like Graham Norton. That fascinates me because I know what it’s like being interviewed.
“I’m very desperate for people to know what Maisie’s like because they constantly see Arya, which is fine, she’s fantastic, but I’m not her, and we’re not the same person.”
As Arya, Maisie has worked closely with her on-screen father Sean Bean, who played Ned Stark in the show’s first season.
She said the veteran actor, who lives in Belsize Park, is “a gentle and chilled out guy”.
“He was just so lovely,” said Maisie, who lives in Bath with her mum and three older siblings.
“Being a more experienced actor, he’s allowed to go home and someone else would read the lines with me but he always stayed late.
“He’s a really gentle and chilled out guy, which is nice on set because if you get someone who’s too crazy then it disrupts the atmosphere.”

Sean Bean HAS filmed Ned Stark’s Game Of Thrones return! Spoilers
UNREALITY PRIMETIME
April 30th, 2014 by Lisa McGarry.

The hit HBO fantasy drama returned to screens earlier this month for it’s well received fourth season and while Sean’s character Eddard Stark was killed off at the end of the first series, it’s been reported that the British actor could make a comeback….of sorts.
Fans of the show, who are up to date as far as season three at least, will be aware of the fact that Bran Stark can look into the past and the future using his unique greenseeng power. He has already had visions of his late mother, Catelyn Stark and in the second episode of this season he caught a glimpse of his dad, Eddard Stark.
This might not be the last we see of Ned it seems.

Richard Armitage: Jackson prepares to farewell Middle-earth
SBS
Source AAP
28 March, 2014

After 13 years, multiple Oscars and billions in box office, the Kiwi filmmaker will screen an early cut of The Hobbit: There And Back Again to Warner Bros executives next week in New Zealand.
The film, scheduled for release in December, is the sixth and final movie based on author JRR Tolkien's fantasy books.
"We are done with filming and they have a bit of motion capture left to do and I have a lot of post-production voice-synching," English actor Richard Armitage, one of the stars of The Hobbit trilogy, told NZ Newswire in Las Vegas on Thursday.
Warner Bros showed a sneak peek of The Hobbit: There And Back Again at the CinemaCon convention in Las Vegas.
Jackson's first foray into Tolkien's Middle-earth came with 2001's Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring.
Armitage said it was an emotional time as the director's six-film marathon comes to an end.
"I think there is going to be a huge amount of sorrow and nostalgia going on in Peter Jackson's mind because he has lived in Middle-earth for what, 13 years," said Armitage, who plays the dwarf king, Thorin.

Sean Bean Struggles With His Identity In Legends Trailer, TNT Sets August Premiere
TV BLEND
BY KELLY WEST 2014-03-10 16:24:28

TNT released a new trailer for Howard Gordon's suspenseful looking drama Legends at SXSW this week. The drama puts Sean Bean back on the small screen in a starring role, this time around playing an undercover FBI agents who begins to struggle with what looks like a pretty major identity crisis.TNT has it on the schedule to debut this August.
Legends has received an August 20 premiere date at TNT, which barely qualifies it as a Summer series, considering it'll likely run over into the Fall season, but that's just fine. Those looking for some serious action may find it here, judging by the new trailer. Based on a book from Robert Littell, Legends stars Sean Bean as Martin Odum, an undercover agent among the FBI's Deep Cover Operations division. The character's ability to transform himself into a different person for each assignment makes him a perfect fit for this kind of work. But what if his actual life and personality isn't what he thinks it is? The series synopsis indicates that a mysterious stranger will offer that suggestion to Odum, and the trailer certainly reveals some confusion on the part of the lead character. There's a moment where his son asks him about bad guys and he looks confused, and later his coworkers note that his accent changed.

Sean Bean: It's Bean a good night! Sean leaves club arm-in-arm with new girlfriend Ashley
MAIL ON LINE
By FAY STRANG
PUBLISHED: 10:16 GMT, 21 November 2013 | UPDATED: 16:24 GMT, 21 November 2013
They were spotted enjoying a rather public display of affection in a London pub back in September of this year.
And it Sean Bean’s romance with girlfriend Ashley Moore is going from strength to strength as the couple were seen enjoying a night out on Wednesday evening.
Despite revealing some grazes on his knuckles, the 54-year-old looked in high spirits as he left the Groucho Club with his blonde squeeze, who is a dead ringer of his ex-Georgina Sutcliffe.
The actor, who is known for his role in Henry VIII, sustained his hand injuries while filming his latest film Any Day in which he plays a boxer.
Sean, who has just returned from filming in LA, looked dapper for his night out at the famous venue – which was also frequented by Pixie Lott and Stephan Merchant on Wednesday evening.
Ashley and Sean appear to have grown increasingly close over the last couple of months and in October the actor was seen enjoying a day out alongside his new partner and his 26-year-old daughter Lorna.
It had previously been thought that Sean had reconciled with his ex-wife Georgina Sutcliffe, who the actor was seen out with and looking rather loved up in June of this year.
The former flames raised eyebrows about their relationship status when the actor took his estranged wife as his date to the 2013 TV Baftas just a month before an Italian break.
