I think this is a series. Hope we'll be able to see it in the US!

Do you think it will arrive on BBC America???

[Lilly]

It looks like the title of the series has been changed to Oakfield, according to IMDb: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3620824/

I'm going to update the subject line of the thread.

Sophia's Twitter seems to indicate that they are production in Liverpool right now...

Another day shooting in Liverpool. What a delightful city.

Sounds like an interesting show. I'm sure this was covered before but is it her choice not to work in the U.S. or no one here is casting her in anything? And if she doesn't want to work in Hollywood anymore I would not blame her one bit because of the way Moonlight was kicked around and dropped.

Hi Kee,

Sophia has a prominent role in the new Transformers movie, so she's evidently not averse to working on American projects. But she seems happy to live in England, so I think she's not actively looking for ongoing roles (TV shows) that are based in another country. She had a major role in the English TV series MI-5 that lasted a couple of seasons, and since then she's been in a couple of smaller projects before she got the plum role in Transformers IV. This new series is filming in England, so she doesn't have to move far away from home to do it.

I guess you can't blame her for not wanting to work that far away from home and since she's constantly working she's made the right choice.

Now I am curious to see the new Transformers movie.

It looks like they've changed the title back to "Our Zoo". The reference Lilly found has been changed back. (I bet there's a lot we don't want to know about how they make television and movies)

There's one tiny shot of her in this promo

Looks to be more "dramatic" than I imagined.

ETA: Oops! I seem to be able only to change the subject of the post back to "Our Zoo". Would one of the mods like to change it? Thx

[Lilly]

Thanks, Rhonda. I changed the title back.

That promo's a little confusing, since it's advertising a bunch of shows! But it makes me want to watch them, so I guess it works.

Here's a nice little red carpet interview with Sophia talking about the show: http://youtu.be/GcNv-u6yKVY

I love her interviews! I hope we get a chance to see this series in the US...

Oh man, I hope we'll get to see it! Isn't she stunning?!

[Lilly]

She really is!
