Rebecca Ferguson gained worldwide recognition in 2013 when she starred as Elizabeth Woodville (Queen Elizabeth) in the BBC miniseries The White Queen. Her portrayal earned her a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress in a Miniseries or TV Movie.
However, Ferguson’s big break in Hollywood came with the 2015 action thriller Mission: Impossible—Rogue Nation. She played the role of former intelligence operative Ilsa Faust alongside Tom Cruise. Her performance earned her critical acclaim.

With the ensemble cast featuring stars like Timothee Chalamet, Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, Austin Butler, and Anya Taylor-Joy, Dune: Part Two is an adventurous cinematic experience. In a time where the number of cinema-goers is diminishing, it is also a gamble that only big studios like Warner Bros. can play. And so far it seems that WB has been dealt a great hand.
The film is enthralling. However, it wasn’t just the viewers and fans of the novels who were taken aback by the surprising bits. Self-admittedly, there’s someone on the cast who didn’t know certain things about the film until they saw it. Rebecca Ferguson talked about her experience watching the film on the red carpet of its premiere.

The ongoing SAG-AFTRA actors' strike is delaying production of a big-screen adaptation of author Joe Abercrombie's best-selling fantasy novel "Best Served Cold", to star Rebecca Ferguson ("Dune"), for director Tim Miller ("Deadpool"):
"...Springtime in 'Styria'. And that means war. There have been nineteen years of blood. The ruthless 'Grand Duke Orso' is locked in a vicious struggle with the squabbling 'League of Eight', and between them they have bled the land white.
"While armies march and cities burn, behind the scenes bankers, priests and older, darker powers play a deadly game to choose who will be king. War may be hell but for 'Monza Murcatto', the 'Snake of Talins', the most feared and famous mercenary in Duke Orso's employ, it's a damn good way of making money too.
"Her victories have made her popular -- a shade too popular for her employer's taste. Betrayed, thrown down a mountain and left for dead,...

There is a popular subgenre of fantasy fiction known as “grimdark,” which tends to feature violent, unpleasant settings and predominantly human characters. No one is entirely good or bad, and their protagonists are made to suffer all sorts of agonies over the course of the story. Think George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire (the book series Game of Thrones is based on), Joe Abercrombie’s First Law trilogy, or the works of Steven Erikson.
This sub-genre is often referred to as “anti-Tolkien,” and we can see why. J.R.R. Tolkien’s legendarium, with its noble kings with healing hands, impossibly beautiful Elves, angels come down to Middle-earth to fight the forces of evil, and actual God (Eru Ilúvatar), could never be described as “grimdark,” a subgenre full of amoral people, wicked kings, and flawed heroes, where Elves are either absent all together or thoroughly evil.

The new “Game of Thrones” prequel “House of the Dragon” has run fast through the events of its “Fire & Blood” source material, with the first season covering a span of 20 years in eight episodes. In a Monday post on his blog “Random Musings,” original series author George R.R. Martin revealed that he hopes the series will continue on this pace to cover the entire Targaryen civil war (or the Dance of Dragons) over four seasons.
“There are only so many minutes in an episode (more on HBO than on the network shows I once wrote for), and only so many episodes in a season … If ‘House of the Dragon’ had 13 episodes per season, maybe we could have shown all the things we had to ‘time jump’ over… though that would have risked having some viewers complain that the show was too ‘slow,’ that ‘nothing happened.’ As it is, I am...
