Rueben's Ramblings

Part 3 of the PBS three-part mini-series The Hollow Crown: The War of the Roses will premiere with Richard III airing on December 25 at 9 PM.

Richard (Benedict Cumberbatch), the most notorious of Shakespeare’s kings, manipulates and betrays his way through the court on a bloodthirsty and ruthless path to the throne. But after Richard’s defeat at the battle of Bosworth Field, the Houses of Lancaster and York—the red rose and the white—are united, bringing to an end the Wars of the Roses and long tumultuous period of civil strife.

The cast includes Dame Judi Dench, Sophie Okonedo and Keeley Hawes.

Here is the trailer for Richard III.
