And now look at this... wow.
This photo is absolutely epic! I can feel so much power and danger while looking at it.

Is it really going to be on TV in 2016? Can't wait to watch BC as Richard III. He looks dangerous and handsome at the same time!

The Daily Mail has some fierce-looking horse/armour shots.

Re: The Hollow Crown: The Wars of the Roses (was "Richard III")
Wow, looks magnificent.
Can´t wait to see it on-screen.

I cannot live without brainwork. What else is there to live for? Stand at the window there. Was there ever such a dreary, dismal, unprofitable world? See how the yellow fog swirls down the street and drifts across the dun-coloured houses. What could be more hopelessly prosaic and material? What is the use of having powers, Doctor, when one has no field upon which to exert them?

Re: The Hollow Crown: The Wars of the Roses (was "Richard III")
Definitely magnificent! Even the horse!
(although not having familiarity with fighting/period armour, wonder how the heck they handled swords well with those metal gloves…)

Re: The Hollow Crown: The Wars of the Roses (was "Richard III")
Socialite Life has a gallery of 25 pictures from the filming of Richard III, mostly of Benedict in armor and ahorse during battle scenes.
***
Radiotimes has a rather charming piece in which Judi Dench tells her version of Benedict Cumberbatch's "shocking" Richard III proposal.

I think rehearsing, before he puts the wig on.

Re: The Hollow Crown: The Wars of the Roses (was "Richard III")
He looks really great, I love the costume. Now I am wondering when and why they are changing his hairstyle during the films.

Well, they filmed him with and without wig, didn't they?

So can I. But we may speculate. At least there are no plot spoilers in Shakespeare.
