BBC Sets Feature On Fire At Bradford Soccer Match

The BBC is making a feature doc about a tragic fire at a Bradford soccer match that preceded the Hillsborough disaster. On the 40th anniversary of the tragedy, the BBC said Unforgotten: The Bradford City Fire (working title) will provide “the definitive record of a forgotten tragedy, as told through the compelling personal testimony of those who were there, many of whom speak here for the first time.” The fire is believed to have been started by a discarded cigarette or match at half time of Bradford City’s game with Lincoln City in 1985. The number of lives lost reached 56 and the event made headlines around the world but has since been somewhat forgotten, overshadowed by the Hillsborough disaster that took place four years later. Simon Young, BBC Head of Commissioning, History, said: “This film gets at the heart of a modern dilemma.

We may never know the full list of actors who auditioned for the lead role in DC Studios' Superman. However, British actor Tom Brittney has now confirmed he was among those who got to suit up for James Gunn.

Reports swirled at the time that he was a finalist for the role, with David Corenswet and Nicholas Hoult rounding out the final three. The latter was eventually cast as Lex Luthor, with Corenswet ultimately given the opportunity to play the Man of Tomorrow.

Whether Gunn will find Brittney, best known for roles in Grantchester and Invasion, another character in the Dcu currently remains to be seen.

Talking on the Hellish podcast, Brittney revealed, "It was actually Henry Cavill's Superman suit - it was his actual suit. It takes about half an hour to get into it - to get sewn into it. And yeah, I think I might have accidentally ripped it.

When James Gunn became co-head of DC Studios with Peter Safran, some fans hoped that Henry Cavill would continue playing Superman in the new DC universe. However, that didn’t happen. Cavill later announced he wouldn’t be returning to the role. By then, Gunn had already planned a new Superman movie that would focus on a younger version of the character, which didn’t fit Cavill’s portrayal.

Fans are still debating whether James Gunn is to blame for Henry Cavill losing his role as Superman. David Corenswet has been cast as the new Superman, but before he was chosen, many actors, including Tom Brittney, auditioned for the part.

Tom Brittney is a British actor best known for playing Will Davenport in the TV series Grantchester, which he joined in 2017.

His portrayal of a young vicar made him a fan favorite. Before Grantchester, Tom appeared in several TV shows and films,...

When James Gunn took over the reins of DC Studios alongside Peter Safran, a portion of the fandom hoped that Henry Cavill would keep his Man of Steel role and continue in the newly rebooted Dcu.

This didn’t happen, however, as the actor soon revealed that he won’t be going forward with the role. At that point, Gunn already had plans for a new ‘Superman’ movie. This upcoming flick won’t be an origin story and will focus on a younger Superman, Cavill just didn’t fit the bill.

The fandom is still debating on whether Gunn is to blame for Cavill losing the role or not. David Corenswet is set to be the new cinematic Superman, but before he was selected, naturally plenty of actors were interested in the role and auditioned for it and one of them was Tom Brittney.

Exclusive: The story of a woman who was accused of murder after entering into a suicide pact with her terminally ill husband is being adapted for the screen in the UK.

Corestar Media has acquired the dramatic rights to Mavis Eccleston’s story, who took the agonizing decision to end her life alongside husband of six decades Dennis, who was in terrible pain from cancer.

The feature, Goodnight Darling, will follow how the 79-year-old Mavis was arrested and tried for murder, only to be unanimously found not guilty, and then began a campaign with her family to change the law to allow people to take the choice of assisted dying.

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel author Deborah Moggach, whose mother served time in prison in an assisted dying case, has written a script. The story could be made as a film or a TV series, said a rep for UK drama indie Corestar.

The TV show Grantchester, which is a big favorite that airs on both ITV and PBS, is expected to have a ninth season coming up, but there’s some bad news.

Unfortunately for fans of the series, one of the lead actors is set to depart.

The show will definitely look a little different when it finally returns, and fans aren’t too happy with this news!

However, Xavier perceived her as malevolent and attempted to kill her with his psychic abilities, leading to a miscarriage for their mother, Sharon. Cassandra survived and spent decades in a sewer wall,...
