Emilia Clarke, Gerard Butler and Simone Ashley are lending their voices to upcoming animated musical “The Night Before Christmas in Wonderland.”

Produced by Universal Pictures Content Group and Lupus Films, the film is based on Carys Bexington’s bestselling book which mashed up two classic stories: Lewis Carroll’s “Alice in Wonderland” and Clement Clarke Moore’s poem “Twas the Night Before Christmas” (also known as “A Visit From St Nicholas”). Bexington’s book is illustrated by Kate Hindley and published by Macmillan.

“Greenland” star Gerard Butler is set to voice St. Nick, while “Game of Thrones” alum Emilia Clarke will play the Queen of Hearts and “Bridgerton’s” Simone Ashley will play Alice.

“’The Night Before Christmas in Wonderland’ is full of fun and festive twists,” reads the synopsis. “This time, it’s St Nick’s turn for an adventure down the rabbit hole. There he meets the Mad Hatter, recast as a high-fashion, reindeer-loving tea party host; the White Rabbit, an endearingly scatty and forgetful character; the Queen of Hearts, a Scrooge-esque tinsel-hater, her antagonistic sidekick, the Cheshire Cat and Alice herself, whose kindness helps St. Nick save Christmas.”

Another few weeks packed full of Simone content!

Didn’t think we’d be writing of another Bridgerton update so soon after the last one, but we are being spoiled!

The day after our last post on March 25th, we got the Bridgerton S2 bloopers and we were then FURTHER spoiled by being given a promotional Kanthony snippet from season 3

March 26th came the video of Simone Ashley graciously passing along the Bridgerton leading lady torch to Nicola Coughlan, whilst answering some questions about her time filming Season 2 – and to top it off we were also treated to new pictures of Simone before the Valentino FW show from the photographer.

Two days later on the 28th Simone attended a press night for Cabaret at the KitKat Club – Simone did not take any portraits inside, so it is assumed she was attending in a personal capacity rather than professional.

On the 30th Simone celebrated her 29th birthday! She was quiet on the day BUT she shared some wonderful photographs afterward.

And as April started, we’ve been treated to small videos of Simone to promote 10 Lives! The videos have also solved the mystery of why Simone was wearing the famous green dress in pictures posted by her glam squad last year! The movie releases tomorrow, 5th April.

 

Pictures and screencaps from the above mentioned have been added to the gallery, check out the links below!

Other misc additions to the gallery include
– promotional material for 10 lives including posters and concept art
– a new still from Sex Education where Simone can be seen in the background
– a newly shared promo image of Simone and Julia Garner for Nespresso

Prime Video is in post-production on UK Original romantic-comedy, Picture This, starring Simone Ashley (Bridgerton) and Hero Fiennes Tiffin (After).

Directed by Prarthana Mohan (The Miseducation of Bindu) and written by Nikita Lalwani, Picture This is based on the Australian Original movie Five Blind Dates, written by Shaung Hu and Nathan Ramos-Park. The UK movie update is produced by 42’s Ben Pugh and Erica Steinberg, with 42’s Josh Horsfield and Kari Hatfield serving as executive producers.

The official synopsis reads: “Single and without a man on the horizon, Pia (Simone Ashley) runs a failing photography studio in London with her best friend Jay (Luke Fetherston). As her sister Sonal (Anoushka Chadha) prepares to get married and her mother Laxmi (Sindhu Vee) urges the resolutely independent Pia to partner up, a spiritual guru at Sonal’s engagement party predicts Pia will meet the love of her life among the next five dates she goes on. As her family intervene, setting her up on a series of increasingly desperate blind dates, Pia begins a hilarious but heartfelt quest for real love.”

The movie will premiere exclusively on Prime Video in the UK and Internationally.

“We’re really excited to bring this brilliant new and original London set romantic-comedy to Prime Video customers”, said Tara Erer, Head of Northern European Originals, Prime Video. “Picture This has a fantastic cast, with the wonderful Simone Ashley and Hero Fiennes Tiffin as our leads, as well as a brilliant filmmaking team, we know our audience are going to absolutely love, and laugh a lot, with this film.”
