Maybe it was The Carrie Diaries or maybe it’s the fact that he’s playing Elvis that has me thinking about how easy that Austin Butler is on the eyes. That and he’s talented. I won’t forget the fact that he is talented.
The actor has booked a new role. Austin Butler and Callum Turner have booked leads in the miniseries Masters of the Air. Now, I loved Band of Brothers, and this is the next part of that saga. It follows the true, deeply personal story of the American bomber boys in World War II who brought the war to Hitlers doorstep.
Personally, I love a war movie, especially one that is based on a true story. I feel like history is amazing and it’s something that we should always be paying attention to, learning from, and doing everything that we can to make sure that it doesn’t happen again.
Butler will star as Major Gale Cleven, and Turner will star as Major John Egan.
I am gonna have to read up on Turner, because I admit I don’t know enough about him and I am obviously sleeping on that hotness.
The series has a lot of big names behind it. The series will be written by John Orloff and Emmy and Golden Globe winner Graham Yost, who both worked on Band of Brothers. Produced by Apple Studios, Steven Spielberg will executive produce through Amblin Television, alongside executive producers Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman for Playtone. Amblin Television’s Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey and Playtone’s Steven Shareshian serve as co-executive producers.
Are you interested in the series? The series will span 10 episodes that will cost well north of $200 million to produce. We can’t wait to see how it comes together.
The show will air on Apple TV.
