What do you think? Have you seen The Young Pope? Will you watch The New Pope?
There is much more to see here than expected. And I’m not just referring to the content of the trailer. Pope number two is John Malkovich and he is being joined by some excellent additions; not the least of which are Marilyn Manson, Ulrich Tomsen, J.David Hinze and Yuliya Snigir.
Let’s see what the great Sorrentino has in store for us.
A very unexpected treat and looking towards the new season.
