Anne-Marie Duff: 'I wondered if I should lie about my background'

18 May 2013 10:00 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »

On the day the actor bids farewell to her character in the last episode of Shameless, she will open in a very different role in Eugene O'Neill's marathon, Strange Interlude, at the National

Anne-Marie Duff holds out her hand – a shy shake. She is wearing what looks like a child's white vest, jeans and no jewellery. There is nothing to give her away, apart from her face. Even her feet are bare – maroon nail varnish excepted. It is a sunny day – warm upstairs at the Jerwood rehearsal space in south London – and we have two reasons to meet. She is about to star in Strange Interlude at the National, a Eugene O'Neill marathon. And the final episode of Channel 4's Shameless (now in its 11th series) is about to be aired, featuring Fiona – peroxide hair and tarty Gypsy earrings to the fore – taking a last stand. Anne-Marie's range is incredible: Elizabeth I, »

Ewan McGregor ready to work with Danny Boyle on Trainspotting sequel Porno

16 May 2013 4:43 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »

Trainspotting star keen to take part in Danny Boyle's planned film based loosely on Irvine Welsh's book

Ewan McGregor has confirmed his willingness to star in Danny Boyle's planned sequel to the cult 1996 film Trainspotting.

Speaking at a Q&A session following a reunion screening of Trainspotting in London, McGregor said it would be an "extraordinary experience" to reprise the role of Mark Renton, which made his name. Boyle revealed in March that he is planning a sequel that could find its way to the big screen for 2016, the 20th anniversary of the cult film about Edinburgh drug addicts. It will be based loosely on the book Porno by Irvine Welsh, in which the Trainspotting author imagined Renton, Sickboy, Begbie and Spud becoming embroiled in a scheme to raise cash by making a pornographic movie many years after the events of the earlier book.

Once Upon A Time season 2 finale review: And Straight On Till Morning

12 May 2013 11:35 PM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »

Review Kylie Peters 13 May 2013 - 06:45

Once Upon A Time ends an uneven season with a cracker of a finale. Here's Emma's review of And Straight On Till Morning...

This review contains spoilers.

2.22 And Straight On Till Morning

Take a few minutes to meditate after the season two finale of Once Upon a Time - your blood pressure’s probably up. The show is firing on all cylinders, rocketing between plots and characters fueled by raw, devastating emotion. The frantic yet strangely balanced combination of action and drama makes this finale a heck of a ride. Despite too many characters and some too-convenient plot points, And Straight On Till Morning is a thoroughly entertaining watch that makes viewers regret the end of even a season as uneven as this one has been. 

It’s astounding that so many characters with such deep-seated issues could all get their few minutes in »

‘Once Upon A Time’ Season Finale: Good & Evil Unite For Storybrooke

12 May 2013 6:27 PM, PDT | HollywoodLife | See recent HollywoodLife news »

Who said goodbye? Who came back from the dead? And what’s the deal with Peter Pan? Epic doesn’t even begin to describe this season finale.

The residents of Storybrooke, good and evil, had to put aside their differences in order to save their town from total destruction on the May 12 season finale of Once Upon A Time. But before the hour was over, a far more important mission revealed itself — one that took everyone far away from Storybrooke.

In yet another attempt to redeem herself, Regina (Lana Parrilla) volunteered to give up her remaining powers to hold off “the device” long enough for everyone in town to escape. But rather than let the Evil Queen die, Emma (Jennifer Morrison) stepped in to lend her a magical hand. (Side note: Am I the only one who totally forgot about Emma’s powers?)

Sadly, everyone’s celebration was cut tragically »

BBC Films falls in love with Matthias Schoenaerts, Danny Boyle reminisces with Philip French, and Olivia Colman seeks direction in the wrong quarter

Bulging Belgian

A year ago he was a little-known Belgian actor. Then, on the first Thursday of Cannes 2012, came Rust and Bone and Matthias Schoenaerts – playing a bare-knuckle boxer opposite Marion Cotillard – was suddenly the hottest discovery on the Croisette.

The British film industry in particular seems to have fallen for Schoenaert , and he'll be seen in three forthcoming BBC Films productions. First there's A Little Chaos (directed by Alan Rickman), in which he plays the head gardener at Versailles opposite Kate Winslet's headstrong landscaper. Then he'll go straight to the set of Saul Dibb's production of the second world war drama Suite française, some of which is being shot in his native Belgium. In that, he'll play a German officer opposite Michelle Williams and Kristin Scott Thomas. »

'Fans Won't Be Disappointed'

10 May 2013 6:47 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

We're mere days away from the climactic Season 2 finale of "Once Upon a Time," which sees Storybrooke and all its inhabitants teetering on the brink of total destruction thanks to Tamara (Sonequa Martin-Green) and Greg (Ethan Embry) and their hatred of magic. Meanwhile, in flashbacks, we'll learn exactly how Hook (Colin O'Donoghue) and Bae (Dylan Schmid) first got to know each other in Neverland.

To preview the "Once Upon a Time" finale, The Huffington Post spoke to O'Donoghue about exploring a "deeper layer" of Hook, his dynamic with Bae and whether he thinks the pirate can ever move past his hatred of Rumplestiltskin (Robert Carlyle) and call a truce.

Co-creators Adam Horowitz and Eddy Kitsis promised that the finale would be very Hook-centric in terms of the flashbacks, so what can you reveal about "And Straight On 'Til Morning"?

At the end of last week’s episode, you saw Hook »

Have you been watching … Once Upon a Time?

10 May 2013 4:49 AM, PDT | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »

This supernatural soap opera has lashings of CGI and a dusting of Disney sparkle. It may not be subtle, but it's perfect Sunday night viewing

It's cheesy, it's overblown, it's got Robert Carlyle smothered in glitter playing Rumpelstiltskin – what's not to love about ABC's Once Upon a Time? Ginnifer Goodwin (she who plays the bit-part best friend in every other Hollywood romcom) stars as Snow White in a small town called Storybrooke, home to multiple fairytale characters going about their everyday, humdrum lives.

It's a simple premise – transport a bunch of folk from the Enchanted Forest and plonk them into regular day jobs, with regular(ish) dramas. Add very glossy production values and a Disneyfied sparkle to proceedings, and it's pretty much the best Sunday night comfort viewing this side of Antiques Roadshow. So what's happened so far?

First, they're all there because the Evil Queen Regina cast "The Curse »

'Once Upon A Time' - Lacey

6 May 2013 8:49 AM, PDT | AirlockAlpha.com | See recent Airlock Alpha news »

This review may contain spoilers. With a little nudging from Regina (Lana Parrilla), Belle (Emilie de Ravin) remembers her past this week. Unfortunately, it.s the wrong past. She fancies herself Lacey (her Curse.d personality) and is a sequin-wearing, hard-drinking floozy. Rumplestiltskin (Robert Carlyle) tries to woo Lacey, but finally gives up. He realizes that she now has no interest in being good. That works out well when she discovers that he.s not interested in being good any more either. The two finally bond over beating the crap out of some poor schmuck. In the past, Robin Hood (Tom Ellis) makes the mistake of stealing from The Dark One. After he is caught, Rumple.s new prisoner Belle sets him free rather than let Rumplestiltskin kill him. Angry, Rumple sets out »

‘Once Upon a Time’ Season 2, Episode 21: Sacrifice

5 May 2013 10:11 PM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

With more than a few loose ends to sort out and only two episodes left on the docket, the logical thing for Once Upon a Time to do in ‘Second Star to the Right’ is moving toward the end goal. And they do. To a point.

But in the same way ‘The Evil Queen’ showed how little Regina (Lana Parrilla) has changed over the years, ‘Second Star’ reveals the same thing about Neal (Michael Raymond-James).

The two time periods explored in this episode are Storybrooke’s present and Neal’s personal past as the runaway son of Rumplestiltskin (Robert Carlyle). From the sketchy past previously provided, viewers were led to presume that the young Baelfire – earnestly portrayed by Dylan Schmid –  took the magic bean portal directly to 21st-century Earth.

Here, however, we learn that he took not one, but two detours before finding ...

‘Once Upon A Time’ Recap: Storybrooke Faces Its Final Days

5 May 2013 6:31 PM, PDT | HollywoodLife | See recent HollywoodLife news »

Plus, we get our first look at Peter Pan — and he’s kind of terrifying.

Owen and Tamara’s plan to destroy Storybrooke was finally exposed on the May 5 episode of Once Upon A Time, but that revelation came with a potentially deadly price for one of the town’s most beloved residents.

Is Neal Dead?

When Neal (Michael Raymond-James) discovered the truth about his fiancée, it seemed like the jig was up — until the little vixen whipped out a magic bean and opened up a portal to God-knows-where. As Neal held on tight to Emma (Jennifer Morrison), the two finally exchanged a pair of long-awaited “I love you”s; but for once, true love wasn’t enough to save the day. Could Neal really be the major death teased by Once‘s executive producers earlier this week?

Personally, I’d be shocked if Neal is actually dead. Not only »

Michael Raymond-James Talks Once Upon A Time, How He Approaches a Fantastical Character, and Favorite Moments of the Season

5 May 2013 3:19 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

With the final two episodes of Season 2 entitled “Second Star to the Right” and “And Straight on Till Morning,” it’s clear that the ABC fantasy series Once Upon A Time will be exploring the world of Neverland.  While Emma (Jennifer Morrison) believes that Neal’s (Michael Raymond-James) fiancée Tamara (Sonequa Martin-Green) had something to do with Regina's (Lana Parrilla) disappearance, a young Bae (Dylan Schmid) finds himself in Old London and is taken in by the Darling family when he befriends their daughter, Wendy (Freya Tingley). During this recent exclusive phone interview with Collider, actor Michael Raymond-James (True Blood, Terriers) talked about how Neal/Baelfire will have to address his unfinished business with both Emma (Jennifer Morrison) and his father (Robert Carlyle), just how much he knew about his character when he signed on to play him, how he approaches such a fantastical character, and his favorite moments this season. »

'His Feelings For Emma Have Always Been There'

3 May 2013 8:40 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

In HuffPost TV's recent conversation with creators Adam Horowitz and Eddy Kitsis, we learned that the two-part "Once Upon a Time" finale (airing May 5 and May 12 at 8 p.m. Et on ABC) will give us "more background" on the enigmatic Neal/Bae (Michael Raymond-James), Rumplestiltskin's (Robert Carlyle) long-lost son and Henry's (Jared Gilmore) father.

With titles like "Second Star to the Right" and"And Straight on 'Til Morning," it should come as no surprise that we're going to meet some familiar characters from a particularly beloved story, as well as explore the tumultuous history between Neal and Hook (Colin O'Donoghue).

In preparation for the finale, The Huffington Post spoke to Raymond-James about what the finale has in store for Neal's relationships with his father, Emma (Jennifer Morrison) and the untrustworthy Tamara (Sonequa Martin-Green), and much more.

In the first 10 minutes of "Second Star to the Right," we see that Neal »

‘Once Upon A Time’: A Major Death & More Scoop From The Final Episodes

30 April 2013 11:38 AM, PDT | HollywoodLife | See recent HollywoodLife news »

Who’s dying? Who’s skipping town? And who’s battling their dark side? It’s going to be a crazy couple of weeks!

With just two episodes left this season on Once Upon A Time, the town of Storybrooke — as well as one or more of its inhabitants — could be facing its final days. Executive producers Eddy Kitsis and Adam Horowitz spoke with reporters earlier this week, teasing a few major revelations to come, including one that rhymes with Meter Man. (Give it a minute, you’ll figure it out.)

Five Spoilers From ‘Once Upon A Time’

Who’s dying next? It’s been a few weeks since someone in Storybrooke has met a grizzly end — R.I.P., Cora! — and it sounds like we won’t have to wait much longer for another tragedy. Eddy told reporters that we should “perhaps” expect a death on the May 5 episode. »

What To Expect From The 'Once' Finale

29 April 2013 3:42 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

Only one episode remains before the "Once Upon a Time" Season 2 finale, and creators Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz teased what to expect from the final two hours of the season on Monday morning.

The co-creators screened the first two acts of the penultimate episode, "Second Star to the Right," for a small group of reporters and answered some burning questions as well.

Here's what The Huffington Post learned during our conversation with Kitsis and Horowitz. Warning: Light spoilers ahead!

New Faces and Old Friends

As the first 10 minutes of "Second Star to the Right" can attest, the final two episodes of Season 2 will feature a number of characters from "Peter Pan," including Wendy Darling. And since Bae/Neal (Michael Raymond-James) has a heretofore unexplained tie to Neverland that somehow relates to Hook (Colin O'Donoghue), the "Once Upon A Time" season finale will apparently be "very Hook centric" in terms of its flashbacks, »

‘Once Upon A Time’: A New Enemy Threatens All Magic In Storybrooke

28 April 2013 6:21 PM, PDT | HollywoodLife | See recent HollywoodLife news »

‘The Evil Queen’ met her match this week, but Regina’s latest foe could also be putting everyone else in danger.

When will the villains of Storybrooke learn to stop trusting each other? The April 28 episode of Once Upon A Time was a parade of devious double crosses, and somehow, every betrayal led back to Captain Hook (Colin O’Donoghue).

It all began when Tamara and Owen offered Hook the key to kill any magical creature — specifically his “crocodile” (Robert Carlyle) — if he agreed to betray Regina (Lana Parrilla) and use her to find Owen’s father. But Hook knows a better option when he sees it, so he went straight to Regina and told her everything. Sadly, he’s occasionally as naïve as he is beautiful: The wicked mayor used him as “bait” to distract Maleficent while she snatched the “trigger” for a powerful spell from Snow’s (Ginnifer Goodwin) glass coffin. »

Efa Gets Inspiration from Bfca? Introducing the Euro Comedy Category

23 April 2013 2:08 AM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »

Possibly having gotten its inspiration from the U.S.-based Broadcast Film Critics Association (Bfca; the critics group that hands out the Critics Choice Awards) or, just as possibly, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA; the organization that hands out the Golden Globes), the European Film Academy has added a new category to its European Film Awards roster: European Comedy. As per a press release, the new category was decided by Efa's board at its latest meeting in Berlin to “pay tribute to a genre which has proven that it is able to unite and entertain audiences across Europe and beyond.” (Pictured above: Daniel Brühl in Wolfgang Becker's 2003 comedy Good Bye, Lenin!, winner of that year's Best Film trophy.)

Once Upon A Time season 2 episode 19 review: Lacey

22 April 2013 12:37 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »

Review Kylie Peters 22 Apr 2013 - 06:30

Robert Carlyle's performance elevates a rehashed plot line in this week's Rumbelle-bait episode of Once Upon A Time...

This review contains spoilers.

2.19 Lacey

Review for Rumbelle fans: Watch it now. You will feel All The Feels. 

Review for everyone else: This episode is not for you. It was manufactured with a profusion of you-make-me-better lines and cute dejected Rumple moments specifically to please the Rumbelle palate. Most of this is material we’ve been over before, and it’s starting to feel like they’ve taken cane in hand and are beating it into us. Luckily, there is some actual cane-beating at the end of the hour, and it does get interesting for a minute or two there. 

Belle is finally out of her hospital bed, so that at least is a nice change. At Regina’s prodding, her curse memories return and she becomes Lacey, »
