Link: Benedict Cumberbatch to direct Tom Hardy in Blake's 7 movie [The Studio Exec]

 

...Fans of BBC cult show Blake’s 7 were celebrating today, when Benedict Cumberbatch announced that he would be directing a movie of the 80s science fiction series. He spoke EXCLUSIVELY with The Studio Exec about his long-cherished project:

 

Of course I was a bit young for Blake’s 7 when it was first shown (1978-1981), but my uncle had them all on video cassette because he worked for the BBC and I got hooked. For me it was a little bit more sci-fi than Doctor Who, which I also loved. Blake’s 7 was just something else though...

Will it have wobbly sets?

Other design considerations:

 

Don't change The Liberator.

Don't change Zen.

Don't change Orac.

 

That is all (for now)

I didn't like Orac. it was the Clippy of the sci-fi world, really annoying.

Zen rocked.

The ones mentioned in the piece for Servalan and Vila were fine by me.

 

Soolin: Jennifer Lawrence.

Travis: Clive Owen.

Tarrant: Kit Harrington.

Dayna: Tessa Thompson.

Jennna: Ali Larter or maybe Alice Eve.

Gan: Adam (WWE Superstar "Edge") Copeland.

 

Have to think some more for t'others.
