Sean Bean is back as the swashbuckling hero in Sharpe’s Challenge. A year after Wellington crushes Napoleon at Waterloo, dispatches tell of a local Maharaja, Khande Rao, who is threatening British interests in India. Wellington sends Sharpe to investigate what turns out to be his most dangerous mission to date. The fate of an Empire and the life of a General’s daughter lie in one man’s hands…
After five seasons of action-packed adventure films, the award-winning Sharpe returns as two feature length episodes written by Russell Lewis (The Best Man, Inspector Morse, Hornblower). Sean Bean (Lord of the Rings, North Country, Flightplan), who returns to the role of Richard Sharpe for the first time in eight years, is joined once again by Daragh O’Malley (Rebel Heart) as Sharpe’s best friend Sgt Patrick Harper in this bloody enterprise filmed entirely in India.
Sharpe’s Challenge is based on the books by Bernard Cornwell.

HOLLYWOOD heart-throb Sean Bean could soon be playing a new role romancing the ladies of Weatherfield – after revealing a secret ambition to play a milkman in Coronation Street. Lord Of The Rings star Sean, 46, let slip his burning desire to tread Corrie’s cobbles in a recent interview saying “I don’t get to watch much TV, but I do like Coronation Street. “Sir Ian McKellen was on that, wasn’t he? Maybe I could do that.” [More]
Like a lot of stylishly persuasive thrillers, Flightplan is more fun to watch than it is to think about. There’s much to admire in this hermetically sealed mystery, in which a propulsion engineer and grieving widow (Jodie Foster) takes her 6-year-old daughter (and a coffin containing her husband’s body) on a transatlantic flight aboard a brand-new jumbo jet she helped design, and faces a mother’s worst nightmare when her daughter (Marlene Lawston) goes missing. But how can that be? Is she delusional? Are the flight crew, the captain (Sean Bean) and a seemingly sympathetic sky marshal (Peter Sarsgaard) playing out some kind of conspiratorial abduction?

(IE, perfect for those of you who want to make a Boromir 12 inch figure). It is almost sold out, so you may want to pick one up. [More]
