"Hold onto your heads,
Hilary Mantel fans. The American broadcast premiere of "Wolf Hall"
has been set -- the miniseries is coming April 5 to "Masterpiece" on
PBS.
"Wolf
Hall" is Mantel's Man Booker award winning novel about Thomas Cromwell,
the crafty blacksmith's son who rose to be advisor to King Henry VIII.
The miniseries stars
Mark Rylance as Cromwell and Damian Lewis as Henry VIII. The six-part
adaptation is being made in England, Deadline reports,
by Company Pictures and Playground, a co-production for BBC Two and
"Masterpiece."
"In 'Wolf Hall,'"
Ross King wrote in our review, "the English Reformation is the chaotic and
convoluted outcome of multiple and competing interests. There is little
idealism or heroism here -- just self-serving diplomatic games, verbal jousts,
petty quarrels and endless jockeying for position."
