Having been a successful model, Maia (Ione Butler) has lost her confidence and as her marriage begins to flounder, she plans to re-launch her career by undertaking a photo shoot by celebrity photographer Francesca Allman (Laura Martin-Simpson), who lives in a remote old house in the Welsh countryside. Maia loves the solitude and accepts an offer to stay the weekend, but Francesca’s obsessive nature threatens to spoil their meeting.

As the photo shoot develops, so does Maia’s trust in Francesca who seduces her. Whilst Francesca’s sexual desires grow with intensity, Maia becomes uneasy with a strange unseen presence in the house. Meanwhile, Adrian (Jake Maskall) talks through his jealous and violent attitude towards his wife with Doctor Woods (Caroline Burns Cook) as he struggles to accept she’s not having an affair. With Francesca becoming more possessive, events take a dangerous turn. Maia is about to discover who adores her the most and to what extremes they will go to possess her.

Directors Carl Medland and Amarjeet Singh have created a sensual, psychological thriller that has a seductive intensity. Shot on location in the house where Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein in North Wales in the 19th century village of Tremadog, THE ADORED stars Laura Martin-Simpson, Ione Butler, Caroline Burns Cook and Jake Maskall (best known for playing Danny Moon in EastEnders, and Neil Marshall’s Centurion).

The hit TV series chronicling the highs and lows of an emerging star on the scene in Hollywood, is confirmed to make the switch to the silver screen, following in the footsteps of past hit series like Sex and the City. After finally getting the green light in October 2013 following rumoured pay disputes, fans of the show are about to get some sneaky details of possible cast members and what the movie might explore in relation to the TV series. As new rumours emerge for the future project, it’s a chance for excited audiences to really whet their appetite.

All the familiar faces

Viewers will already be thrilled to hear that names of some cast members for the Entourage movie have already been revealed, pointing to a stellar big screen cast that will live up to the young and gorgeous small screen version. Since the movie version was first announced ten months ago, the development of the film has been surrounded by gossip, leaving fans wondering if it was all just a practical joke. But after creator Doug Ellin tweeted the confirmatory, “it’s a go. Love you all”, with a quick snapshot of himself and some of the Entouragefamily, everyone was able to breathe a sigh of relief.  Cast regulars Kevin Connolly, Adrian Grenier, Jerry Ferrar and Jeremy Piven, in the role of foul-mouthed studio boss, Ari Gold, are all confirmed to be on board for the big screen adaptation.

New Cast Members

That doesn’t mean that the rumour mill surrounding the movie has gone silent though. Although the film’s details have been kept closely under wraps, there’s been a lot of heated speculation about just who we might get to see in the big screen version. Leonardo DiCaprio is one of the big names rumoured to have been courted for a part, and The Great Gatsby star wouldn’t be stepping in for a short cameo either – fans could look forward to seeing him in some real, meaty screen time. Meanwhile for the female lead, the “Sports Illustrated” model, Kate Upton, has been eyed up to take the hotly anticipated role, with multiple sources already having confirmed her involvement with the project.

Can it match the TV Series?

It still remains to be seen what the Entourage movie might bring to the table in relation to the long standing TV series. Though the series finale concluded with a lot of open ends, with Ari facing the tantalising opportunity to become the head of a major studio, cast member Jerry Ferrara has hinted that the movie might just take a slightly different angle, with a “throwback” to earlier seasons. This might just give fans an exciting glimpse into some of the murkier unresolved back stories that the series only skimmed over.

One thing is for certain, after the roller-coaster of rumours surrounding the project since its inception, both cast and audiences will be glad just to see it come to fruition at long last.

Set in a mythic New York City and spanning more than a century, “A New York Winter’s Tale” is a story of miracles, crossed destinies, and the age-old battle between good and evil.

The film marks the directorial debut of Academy Award®-winning screenwriter Akiva Goldsman (“A Beautiful Mind”), who also wrote the screenplay, based on the acclaimed novel by Mark Helprin. Goldsman is also producing the film with Marc Platt (“Drive”), Michael Tadross (“Sherlock Holmes”) and Tony Allard (Showtime’s “The Baby Dance”).
