    The beautiful Old Quadrangle at Melbourne University doubled for Versailles in a scene from the Piers Brosnan film "The King's Daughter". It looked magnificent in the sunshine today.

    NEW REVIEW! A teen fantasy film, based on a Nebula-winning novel, shot in Australia in 2014, then tossed from distributor to distributor for eight years before limping into American cinemas in 2022. Let's take a look at Sean McNamara's The King's Daughter. fictionmachine.com/2026/07/16/r...

    sorry I had a crazy realization and I had to go back to my VOD of The King's Daughter (reasonably certain I am the only person alive to have paid for this movie twice) to check that Marie-Josephe IS wearing the black and gold dress in her instrument-smashing scene and she IS

    There's a special group of people who went to the movies in January, 2022, bonded together by the shocking experience of the trailer for The King's Daughter For those not in the know, enjoy. (The link is timestamped because the mini-preview gives away the twist) youtu.be/0yuwbPwGNEw?...

    The Moon and the Sun. The movie came out in 2022, despite having been filmed in 2014, under the name The King's Daughter.

    I like the new Olivia Rodrigo song and music video as much as the next guy but let's not do too much about "she must be HUGE, they let her film at VERSAILLES" they let The King's Daughter film there en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Kin...

    I'll never forget or forgive the movie adaptation of the Moon and the Sun where I was looking forward to seeing what young actor with dwarfism they'd hire for the love interest only to see that they'd re-tooled her BROTHER in the books to be her man. The movie is called The King's Daughter.

    King Louis XIV fathered so many bastards even he would have a hard time keeping track. The King’s Daughter (2022) follows one of the lesser known. You may notice that the title is not “La Fille du Roi.” This is because everyone involved is English, American, Australian, Scottish, and even Chinese — that is, anything but French. One can only wonder two things: 1) what would the French think of their most iconic monarch played by Pierce Brosnan, arguably the most British actor possible, and 2)…

    King Louis XIV has a mermaid kidnapped and brought to an “underground river” in Versailles to be sacrificed during a solar eclipse so that he can become immortal. Mermaid murder? Isn’t that a Dethklok song? #TheKingsDaughter #MovieReview #Fantasy #Movie https://ninetypercentcrapmoviereviews.wordpress.com/2022/12/13/the-kings-daughter/

    Must have been tax return time for Pierce Brosnan as he "stars" in this daft historical fantasy about Louis XIV of France and his aspirations for immortality. Egged on by the ambitious "Labarthe" (Pablo Schreiber) he believes that he can live forever if her manages to get hold of a mermaid and - well, he pinches her life force. Snag is, though, his own daughter "Mary-Josephe" (Kaya Scodelerio) is not so supportive of this scheme when she discovers this distressed sea creature and so, of course,…

    MORE REVIEWS @ https://www.msbreviews.com/ "The King's Daughter is everything viewers expected: a formulaic, uninteresting story filled with old-fashioned cliches and spine-chilling visual effects - not in a good way. Not a single filmmaker and respective creative team deserve to have their work stuck in a seven-year limbo until it's released, let alone due to scheduling and budget issues. However, while the horrible VFX can be forgiven, the disappointing narrative can't be saved, not even by…
