"Foxtel’s powerful new Australian mini-series Deadline Gallipoli will premiere on the showcase channel in April "
Deadline Galipoli trailer
 
 Deadline Gallipoli is a fresh look at the Gallipoli legend, from the perspective of four war correspondents....These were the first truly embedded war correspondents whose defiance ignited a change in the campaign’s course and whose commitment to the stories of the men who turned the war from a strategic failure into a triumph of the human spirit.The four hour mini-series follows the campaign from its beginnings in Cairo through to the evacuation from the cove nine months later and finally to 2015 where the life long legacy of the journalists finds its most bitter sweet prize – those who died have not been forgotten.Following each of the journalists as they travel through months of this bloody battle, we see the men they meet and watch killed, the friendships they make, the woman one falls in love with and the lessons they learn about themselves and what it means to be a witness to such brutality. Filmed in South Australia across nine weeks, the Deadline Gallipoli cast also includes Charles Dance as General Hamilton, the Commander of the Gallipoli campaign, Rachel Griffiths as his wife Lady Hamilton -

"Alfred Allmers has spent his whole life writing a book on "responsibility," a luxury he can afford as a result of his marriage to the wealthy and beautiful Rita. However, much to Rita's annoyance, his attention isn't always undivided toward her, as Alfred shifts his focus between his book, their son Eyolf, and his half-sister Asta. As Allmers slowly feels trapped in an unfulfilling marriage, emotions and a painful past threaten to boil over into a terrible finale."

Interview in Variety : Charles Dance Looks Back at His Showbiz Start

January 2, 2015
Awards season contender “The Imitation Game"is the latest opportunity for esteemed stage, TV and film thesp Charles Dance to make malevolence look utterly polished and tasteful. The Brit made his proper stage debut 40 years ago with the Royal Shakesoeare Company, after sharing music-hall stages with several English vaudeville greats.

In 1976, you were touring America with the Royal Shakespeare Company and went on for Alan Howard in Brooklyn.
I was doing supporting roles in productions such as “Henry IV” and “Henry V” and Ben Kingsley’s “Hamlet” and was the understudy for Alan. I got the call at 4 in the afternoon that Alan had taken ill and I’d be performing (in “Henry V”) in his place. It scared the shit out of me.

How’d that turn out?
I got into the “Once more unto the breach” speech — the one everyone knows — and I went stone dead in the middle of it. My mouth went dry, no saliva, only air and adrenaline. All of the actors around me were trying to help, whispering lines at me and they were all the wrong lines! Eventually I found my way back.

When we asked you about your first time in Variety, you thought we meant the variety shows you once worked on.
In the early 1970s, before the RSC, I had worked in variety, which was our word for vaudeville or music hall.

Sounds colorful.
We did “Toad of Toad Hall” and I played Badger. And I worked with one of the foremost male impersonators of all time, Hetty King, who was about 89. There was Fred Emney, who had a monocle and cigar, and Sandy Powell, who did a drunk ventriloquist act and the dummy’s limbs would fall off. And Leslie Sarony, who sang risque songs and played the ukulele.
 
And this prepared you for “Henry V”?
No, but I learned a lot at RSC from Ben Kingsley and especially Alan Howard. He had a way of speaking blank verse that really shined a light on every word. He treated each soliloquy as if it were an operatic aria. He had an extraordinary voice and he knew how to push it.

This sounds like that great training we always hear is in the background of great British actors.
It was a great time because — let’s face it — we all deal with the reality of many not so great scripts today. And that was when I learned to love Shakespeare, the greatest writer of all time. I had just begun to see the light of his work. I was on that train and it was taking me along and I had a great seat.
12 Awesome 2014 Performances In Otherwise Awful Movies      
   11. Charles Dance – Dracula Untold
The Movie: Despite plenty of potential, the first film in the new Universal Monsters franchise gets the series off to a limp start, with the talented Luke Evans being forced through the motions in a dull mess of lame action and incoherent plotting.
The Performance: Charles Dance plays the Master Vampire, the one who turns Vlad (Evans) into a vampire in the first place. Kitted out in heavy make-up and spending the majority of his screen time mugging from a dark, dirty cave, he hams it up for the cheap seats and the results are easily the movie’s most entertaining moments.
Dance’s role is pretty much solely just to spout exposition and explain the plot, but he totally looks the part, and was surely a much better choice for the role than Charlie Cox, who is 36 years his junior and originally filmed the scenes before being replaced with Dance.
Dance also gets one hilariously memorable scene at the end of the movie, set in the present day, where he stalks Vlad and declares, “Let the games begin.” Dance’s delicious delivery of every syllable of dialogue makes the movie much more tolerable.
