DJANGO - It's time to saddle up...
I’m so excited to finally be able to share more about DJANGO - a 10 part Western TV series, that I’ve been lucky enough to be a part of…
A teaser/trailer for the TV series has been released ahead of the premiere of its first 2 episodes at the 2022 Rome Film Festival.
About DJANGO
“Loosely based on Sergio Corbucci’s eponymous cult classic film, DJANGO stars the award winning Matthias Schoenaerts (The Danish Girl, The Mustang, Bullhead, Rust and Bone) as the iconic title character, alongside Nicholas Pinnock (For Life, Counterpart, Top Boy) as John Ellis, visionary founder of the town of New Babylon, Lisa Vicari, (Luna, Dark) who plays Django’s daughter Sarah, and Noomi Rapace (Prometheus, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, What Happened to Monday?) in the role of John’s powerful and ruthless enemy Elizabeth Thurman.
Rounding out the cast are Jyuddah Jaymes (Clique, Criminal: UK), Benny O. Arthur (Get Lucky, Alexanderplatz) and Eric Kole (Fifty Pence, Hold) as John Ellis’s children and Tom Austen (The Royals, Grantchester) as cowboy Eljiah Turner.”

This is probably the biggest project I have worked on to date, both in scope and reach… I can’t wait for you to meet my character Phillip Ellis, as well as the Ellis Gang, Django himself, and the rest of the amazing cast I got to work with.
