Due to some stupid deletions on the Facebook group, I’ve added the stills and posters I have from Keir’s film DESADE from 1969 where he played the controversial Marquis. The film though good, is not a direct biopic of Sade. The film Quills starring Geoffrey Rush was a closer telling of Sade’s life from within Charenton Asylum in France. Keir’s film while definitely showing Sade’s debauchery, does not go deeper into the mindset of the man. If anyone would like to read a good biography on Sade, there is an excellent one I can recommend written by the late Maurice Lever titled Sade. I’ll provide a link to the Amazon listing for you should you wish to get your hands on it. I’m sure for those with an e-reader or Kindle, there might be a version available.
Keir’s series THE PATH has been renewed by Hulu. This is great news, now if only Keir were in it more. I think as Keir’s fans we should contact Hulu and tell them how much we love Keir and want to see him more. They have a gift in his talent and presence and I think we need to tell them we want to see more of him and to actually see him walking and talking. They’ve got Dave Bowman for crying out loud! So here are the addresses to write to get him on more and to keep him on. I think it just might help.
By Matt Porter Hulu has renewed The Path for a second season, and The Mindy Project for Season 5.
The Path, starring Aaron Paul, Hugh Dancy, and Michelle Monaghan, premiered in March this year. It focuses on a family who are involved in a fictional cult called Meyerism. The first season finale will air on May 25.
Hulu SVP and Head of Content Craig Erwich also announced today The Mindy Project will be getting a fifth season. FOX cancelled the show back in 2015, however Hulu picked it up for Season 4, which will end on July 5.
In addition, there will be a second election special from Triumph, the Insult Comic Dog, after the first one came to Hulu in March. Robert Smigel will return as the voice actor, and the new special will air just in time for this year’s election.
Here for you are the screencaps from episode three of THE PATH titled A Homecoming. This show is getting more and more intriguing. I’m loving Hugh Dancy’s character. I’ve been a fan of his since 2001 when I first saw him in the Ridley Scott film Black Hawk Down where Hugh played the part of Kurt Schmidt, a medic for Task Force Ranger during the raid to capture Somalian War Lord Mohammad Farrah Aidid in October 1993. And of course he is married to one of my favourite actresses Claire Danes who plays Carrie Mathison on Homeland. I’m so glad the snake is gone. That is a yellow Python and if real, I’m more than impressed with Keir being able to stay cool while having that thing crawling on him. The question should be now will Dr. Meyer ever wake up? I need to see those gorgeous eyes of Keir’s as well as hear that voice.
I found this two part video on that bastion of video watching…. Yeah, you know. It’s a comparison between the Arthur C. Clarke book and Stanley Kubrick’s epic film. Enjoy.
Here are the screencaps from Keir’s small part in the second episode of THE PATH. His scene is mostly with star Hugh Dancy. Ironically the make up they are using for him reminds me very much of Keir from the final scenes in 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY where Dave Bowman is beginning his ascension to Baby Bowman. I’d have to say Stanley Kubrick foretold Keir’s later years pretty good. I can’t say I liked Keir’s makeup in 2010: ODYSSEY TWO. It was too tick and gloppy. I liked the sleek nature of the makeup in the first film because it didn’t make him look so comical. If I recall correctly in the making of documentary from the BluRay of the second film, the makeup creator Michael Westmore said he got various parts of the makeup idea from his grandmother, and other sources. I think that’s ultimately where it failed. Not sure where Stuart Freeborn got his ideas from, but it make Keir look much more natural. Pretty much like he was looking into the future to THE PATH
