Update: Hilary Swank Joins Donald Sutherland for FX’s ‘Trust’


Two-time Oscar winner Hilary Swank is joining Donald Sutherland for FX’s “Trust,” according to the network.

Per the official releaseSwank is set to play Gail Getty, mother of J. Paul Getty III, who though “determined and resourceful” is “left to negotiate with increasingly desperate kidnappers. Problem is, she’s broke.”

The 10-episode first installment of “Trust” tells the story of John Paul Getty III, heir to the Getty oil fortune. It was previously announced that the Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning Sutherland would play family patriarch J. Paul Getty.  According to the release, the synopsis for the show’s first season is as follows:
It is set in 1973, when the young Getty is kidnapped in Rome and his mafia captors are banking on a multi-million dollar ransom. After all, what rich family wouldn’t pay for the return of a loved one? “Trust” charts the young man’s nightmare ordeal at the hands of kidnappers who cannot understand why nobody seems to want their captive back. The Italian police think it’s a prank and decline to investigate. Paul’s father is lost in a heroin daze in London and refuses to answer the phone. Paul’s grandfather – possibly the richest man in the world – is marooned in a Tudor mansion in the English countryside surrounded by five mistresses and a pet lion. He’s busy. Only Paul’s mother is left to negotiate with increasingly desperate kidnappers. Problem is, she’s broke.
The limited series is being executive produced by Danny Boyle, Simon Beaufoy and Christian Colson. Written by Beaufoy and directed by Boyle, the first installment will be produced by FX Productions, Cloud Eight Films, Decibel Films and Snicket Films Limited.

The limited series starts production in June in London and Rome. It is set for a Jan. 2018 release. (Awards Circuit)

Oscar-winning actress Dame Judi Dench once revealed that she plants a tree in her garden whenever a friend or relative dies.

The documentary, with a working title of Judi Dench’s Secret Woodland, will be filmed in her own back garden in what I am told is her own "special wood".

“Judi has spent her life living beside one of the oldest forests in the UK, and in this programme she will embark on a remarkable journey with experts and historians to discover how deeply embedded trees are in our history, and how important they are to our future,” said the BBC.
“Filmed across an entire year, she will witness and experience their extraordinary behaviours through the changing seasons; from trees that talk, to those with the elixir of eternal youth pumping through their veins. This enchanting programme will use the latest in botanical research and innovations in technology to bring to life this hidden, unseen world.” (Radio Times)

It was largely snubbed in the nominations for the TV Baftas, but The Night Manager has picked up two Bafta craft awards.
The BBC espionage thriller won for editing and sound in the awards that celebrate behind the scenes talent.

The Crown, National Treasure and Planet Earth II also won two awards each at the ceremony.
In the Bafta TV nominations only Tom Hollander from The Night Manager was nominated for best supporting actor.
This was a surprise after the show did so well at the Golden Globe awards where Tom Hiddleston, Olivia Colman and Hugh Laurie all won acting prizes and the drama also won an Emmy for director Susanne Bier. (BBC News)
