British actress Jaime Murray has joined the cast of Starz’s “Spartacus: Gods of the Arena,” a new six-part prequel series to the network’s runaway hit “Spartacus: Blood and Sand.” Murray will play Capua socialite Gaia, a friend to Lucretia, wife of scheming ludus owner Batiatus.
Murray is best known for her turn as psychotic arsonist Lila Tournay in season two of the Showtime serial-killer drama “Dexter.” The 32-year-old actress currently plays “the real” H.G. Wells on the Syfy network’s quirky “X-Files” meets Raiders of the Lost Ark series “Warehouse 13.”
“Gods of the Arena” follows the House of Batiatus as it struggles to make a name for itself pre-Spartacus. Australian actor Dustin Clare headlines the series as gladiator champion Gannicus. John Hannah and Lucy Lawless reprise their “Spartacus: Blood and Sand” roles as sinister spouses Batiatus and Lucretia.
Also returning are Peter Mensah and Manu Bennett as gladiators Doctore and Crixus, respectively. Andy Whitfield, who plays Spartacus on the original series, will also make an appearance on the new show.
“Spartacus: Gods of the Arena” will begin shooting next month in New Zealand and premiere on Starz in January. The second season of “Spartacus: Blood and Sand” goes into production later this year.
Those attending Comic-Con this week can see Lawless, Whitfield, Hannah, and Viva Bianca at the “Spartacus: Blood and Sand” panel on July 23.
As a die-hard Megan Fox stalker fan, I have been skeptical about Whiteley taking Fox’s place in the Michael Bay film. However, after watching this video taken from her topless pictorial in Spanish magazine DT, I’m starting to warm up to the idea (Thanks K-Y Warming Jelly!).
Here we have model/actress/Cosplay enthusiast Adrianne Curry kicking Star Wars menace Jar Jar Binks in the chest while dolled up like Return of the Jedi’s Slave Leia. The shot is both playful and sexy, but don’t let Curry’s cheeks distract you from its message: Binks sucks donkey dicks.
Curry also poses with statues of an emaciated Darth Vader (someone get him a Bantha burger) and an authentic replica of a typical convention fanboy … oh, wait, that’s Jabba the Hut.
Curry is best known for being the first winner on the CW network’s reality show “America’s Next Top Model.” She has also starred in the straight-to-DVD thrillers Jack Rio and Fallen Angels.
