CHARACTER PICTURES AND SPOTLIGHT ON CW'S NEW HISTORICAL DRAMA 'REIGN' ON MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS WITH ADELAIDE KAINE, TOBY REGBO, TORRANCE COOMBS, MEGAN FOLLOWS, ANNA POPPLEWELL

  'REIGN' HISTORICAL SHOW
ON MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS
Are you ready for the new historical drama which starts airing this Autumn at CW? Epic series REIGN, following the early life of Mary Queen of Scots, during her stay at the French court where she was engaged to the French prince and the future king, will start its small screen life on October 17th in the Thursday evening slot after THE VAMPIRE DIARIES! HOLLYWOOD SPY has already introduced you to the show earlier, but today we're bringing you character pictures showing all the faces that will bring the drama into the Paris royal court.

  THE STORY OF 'REIGN'
 LOVE IS THE MOST DANGEROUS SUBJECT
Hidden between the lines of the history books is the story of Mary Stuart, the young woman the world would come to know as Mary, Queen of Scots. The teenage Mary is already a headstrong monarch ─ beautiful, passionate and poised at the very beginning of her rise to power.
Arriving in France with four close friends as her ladies-in-waiting, Mary has been sent to secure Scotland's strategic alliance by formalizing her arranged engagement to the French king's dashing son, Prince Francis. But the match isn't signed and sealed, it depends more on politics, religion and secret agendas than affairs of the heart. Prince Francis is intrigued by the fiery Scot, but like most young men, he resists the idea of settling down into marriage, especially when he has a history  with a lady of the court and his own point of view on the wisdom of an alliance with Scotland. Still, an attraction between Mary and Francis is ignited.
 Further complicating things is Bash, Francis' handsome, roguish half-brother, who has a history of his own ─ despite his illegitimate birth, Bash is his father's favourite. Though he is all too aware that Francis is the heir to the throne and Mary's intended, Bash soon develops his own feelings for Mary. None of the intrigue at Court is lost on Francis' mother, Queen Catherine. The strong-willed Queen is aware of Mary's inflammatory effect on her son and his half-brother, just as she is aware of the dalliances of her husband, King Henry, not only with his mistress, but with other ladies of the Court, as well. For guidance, Queen Catherine turns to her trusted advisor, the seer Nostradamus, who terrifies the Queen with his prophecy that marriage to Mary will cost Francis his life. Catherine is determined to save her son, no matter how many others have to pay with their lives.
As Mary learns for herself that fierce foes are conspiring to sabotage her marriage to Francis and even threaten her life, she becomes aware of other dark forces. There's a mysterious presence in the castle; a shrouded figure who may become her unlikely ally. Villagers cope with the brutality of the times by trusting in magic and superstition. And in the dark woods surrounding the French Court lurk those who offer human sacrifice to a being who seems to require blood. With danger and sexual intrigue around every dark castle corner, Mary rallies her ladies-in-waiting - Greer, Kenna, Lola and Aylee - and steels herself, ready to rule the new land and balance the demands of her country and her heart.

  THE CAST OF 'REIGN'
AT THE FRENCH COURT 
The series stars Adelaide Kane ("Teen Wolf") as Mary, Toby Regbo ("One Day") as Prince Francis, Torrance Coombs ("The Tudors") as Bash, Megan Follows ("Anne of Green Gables") as Queen Catherine, Alan Van Sprang ("The Tudors") as King Henry, Celina Sinden as Greer, Caitlin Stasey as Kenna, Anna Popplewell ("The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader") as Lola, and Jenessa Grant ("Cyberbully") as Aylee. Rossif Sutherland plays famous Nostradamus, queen's wizard prophet! Latin heartthrob Manolo Cardona joins the cast as Tomas, the dashing Prince of Portugal. He’s playful and seemingly grounded though he may have a sinister, sadistic, and completely amoral soul. Meanwhile, Katie Boland will be Clarissa, a strange and almost feral young woman who hides in the shadows as her face is severely disfigured. Her past is a tantalizing puzzle that will reach out to change the lives around her in ways no one suspects! Luke Roberts will play Simon Westbrook, a charming but sinister English diplomat determined to destroy Mary!

WORLD OF WARCRAFT FILM
 COLIN FARRELL, TRAVIS FIMMEL, PAULA PATTON, ANSON MOUNT
Sometime ago I've informed you about famous computer game WORLD OF WARCRAFT being transformed into a big screen movie and now the first rumours on the possible cast have started: Colin Farrell and Paula Patton are the first names mentioned for the lead male and female roles in the film to be directed by Duncan Jones. Blizzard Entertainment's Warcraft universe is a rich fantasy setting that revolves around the epic conflict between the opposing forces of the Horde and the Alliance in a medieval like world filled with gryphons, dragons, zombies, werewolves and elves .

EMMY 2013 FASHION REPORT
THE BEST DRESSED
 So whom did you like and whom didn't you like at Sunday's Emmy 2013 red carpet? I'm afraid the list of the bad dressed is much longer this year than of those who arrived with style. If you ask me Linda Cardellini had absolutely no competition as the loveliest lady of the evening. She looked stunning in her purple gown reminiscent of a blooming peony! Also not looking bad were three ladies in fiery red - scorching hot Sofia Vergara with plunging cleavage,  pregnant Morena Bacarin who was sweet and simply shinning and Kaley Cuoco in her lacy floating burgundy gown.
THE SIMPLE ONES
Opting for simple and minimalistic style were Colbie Smulders in sleek white gown, Padma Lakshmi in refined Greek style dress, Emilia Clarke in delightful white dress with metallic belt, and Rose Byrne in rose gown.
THE WORST DRESSED
The absolute horror of the red carpet was undoubtedly Zosia Mamet (I've no idea who the girl is) who truly looked chaotic in the floral gown with the clumsy dark top. Lena Dunham takes the second place among the horrid gowns in the floral monster of a gown, followed by Lena Headey in tasteless mix of black lace and white shoes. Claire  Danes continues looking washed out, while Heidi Klum continues dressing in a sex shop. Mayim Bialik, Zooey Deschanel and Connie Britton stole dresses from their grannies. Michelle Dockery in Prada, Amanda Peet and Emily Deschanel looked deeply awkward in their monotonous and highly uninspired choices for the evening.Click on all the pics to see them bigger!
