Paul Bettany vs Will Sharpe in Fresh New ‘Amadeus’ Series Full Trailer

“Maybe God doesn’t speak to you, because you bore him…” Sky TV has unveiled their full official trailer for Amadeus, a new series that is basically a remake of the Oscar-winning 1984 movie of the same name. Time to revisit this story! It’s a direct adaptation of the original 1979 play by Peter Shaffer, though it looks a lot like the movie anyway. A 25-year-old Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart arrives in Vienna, Austria, during the 18th century where he meets a young singer who will become his wife (Constanze Mozart) and by way of her, the court composer Antonio Salieri. Starring Will Sharpe (seen in A Real Pain) as musical prodigy Wolfgang “Amadeus” Mozart, Paul Bettany as envious court composer Antonio Salieri, and Gabrielle Creevy as Constanze Weber, Mozart’s fiercely loyal wife. Also with Rory Kinnear as Emperor Joseph, Lucy Cohu, Jonathan Aris, Ényì Okoronkwo, and Jessica Alexander. The series is out for streaming in the UK in December, though no details on the US debut yet. It looks even more exuberant and entertaining than the movie! I might just have to watch to see if Will Sharpe is any good as Mozart this time around. Who’s down? // Continue Reading ›
