I already spread the news a few weeks ago in the BOOB thread...

*slaps herself for not spreading the news here*

Thanks, Yu!

That's awesome. Glad he found something else to do :-D

Yay for Ian!!

That's awesome. Glad he found something else to do :-D

:lol2: You're making it sound like he was unemployed the past 1 1/2 years since he left Lost. ;)

That's great news.

xOzx
:kiss:

Yay! I miss seeing Boone. It will be cool to see him in something else too. I am glad for him.

yay:biggrin: , it's nice 2 kno that sum1 gave him somethng to do and he wasn't left to wallow in lonelness and boredom!:undecide: !!!

With 3 movies, 1 broadway play and now the mini-series, I don't think he felt ever bored during the last year... and I'm sure Moke kept him good company, so he wasn't lonely either. :biggrin:

There's an article (http://www.star-ecentral.com/news/story.asp?file=/2006/8/6/movies/14901568&sec=movies) about one of Ian's Asian co-stars in the series that also mentions Ian. Including a first glimpse of how Ian will look like as Marco Polo.

Very different from Boone but still hot stuff, if you ask me.. ;)

There are a lot of promo pictures, plot synopsis and information about the mini series up on the RHI website (http://www.rhifilms.com/property.php?propertyId=MarcoPolo).

Prodution ended at the beginning of August and the show is now in post-production and afaik still looking for an US distributor... Let's hope they'll find one soon because this looks REALLY good, imho!

MARCO POLO

Assigned to accompany two priests on a mission to convert the court of Kublai Khan (Brian Dennehy, “Assault on Precinct 13”) to Christianity, Marco Polo (Ian Somerhalder, “Lost”) is abandoned in the mountains when the priests, doubting the very existence of China, turn back. Polo eventually pushes bravely forth alone toward the fabled country where he is accepted as an envoy into Khan’s court. Marooned on the far side of the world, Polo, accompanied by his servant, Pedro (B.D. Wong, “Law & Order: SVU”), advances as a Mongol grandee for 20 extraordinary years. What he eventually brings back with him to the West is a chronicle that changed history forever. “Marco Polo,” a Hallmark Original Movie Event, premieres Saturday, June 2 (9 p.m., ET/PT).

... looks good. :D

YAY! I got to see Marco Polo on Friday and I really liked it. Well, it's maybe not a master piece of cinematography but it had pretty costumes, exotic landscapes and Ian and Brian did an awesome job portraying their characters.

I really enjoyed it and there was sooo much Ian in it.... :)

Marco Polo has been aired so far in Germany, Spain and Hungary.

It will air on Saturday, June 2nd 2007 (that's this Saturday folks) in the US on Hallmark channel.

And it'll air in the UK (http://community.livejournal.com/somerhalderism/57050.html) on Wednesday, June 13th 2007 on Sky One!

Don't miss it!!!

I saw this advertised a few nights ago and kept thinking, "He looks familiar......." :biggrin:
Looks worth a watch, if I remember I'll check it out :)

So did anyone watch it?
I caught the repeat of it - kind of, I was on the laptop at the same time :biggrin:
Nice hair though :biggrin:

I watched it on Good Friday when it was aired here. I loved it. :biggrin: Can't wait to get the DVD which will be released on Aug 12th in the US!
