Vincent Kartheiser will play Mr. Darcy on stage
17 May 2013 10:58 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Vincent Kartheiser is going back in time — okay, further back in time. The Guthrie Theater in Minnesota announced that the Mad Men star will star as Mr. Darcy in its upcoming production of 19th-century novel Pride and Prejudice. Previews begin July 6, with the show running July 12 through Aug. 31, the Guthrie’s 50th anniversary. Playwright Simon Reade adapted Austen’s oft-adapted romance; Joe Dowling will direct.
Kartheiser, though famous as perennially under-loved and -respected adman Pete Campbell, has a long history with the Minneapolis theater, starting with his turn as A Christmas Carol’s Tiny Tim at age 7. He later appeared »

From 'Mad Men' To Jane Austen
17 May 2013 10:43 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
New York — To find their Mr. Darcy, the Guthrie Theater in Minnesota has turned to a Mad Man.
Vincent Kartheiser, who plays the malcontent Pete Campbell on AMC's "Mad Men," will star this summer in a new Guthrie production of "Pride and Prejudice" as the brooding hero of Jane Austen's most famous novel.
"It's interesting playing a character that people have such strong feelings about before I've even begun playing him," he said Friday by phone from Los Angeles. "I don't have a lot of experience playing famous characters and it's an interesting expectation that lays on my head."
Kartheiser is a native of Minneapolis and first appeared at the Guthrie in 1986 at age 7 as Tiny Tim in "A Christmas Carol." He returned to play small roles in the company's 1990 productions of "Henry V" and "Henry IV."
"I think my biggest scene I was being carried around dead," he joked. »

Twickenham Studios: Home to the Beatles, Silent Stars, Hollywood Elite
15 May 2013 5:00 AM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
Based about 9 miles southwest of central London, Twickenham Studios was built on the site of an old ice-skating rink that was acquired in 1912 by Dr. Ralph Jupp. One of the U.K.’s oldest surviving studios, the site opened in 1913. The studio’s first release, The House of Temperley, was released the same year and major stars including Ivor Novello, Dorothy Gish, Gladys Cooper, C. Aubrey Smith and Herbert Tree worked at Twickenham during the silent era.
Jupp was forced to sell the studio in 1920 due to financial and health problems. After the new owners went out of business in 1922 the studio was leased to various companies until Julius Hagen and Leslie Hiscott took over in 1928.
During the 1930s the studio produced a raft of “quota quickies,” low-budget features created to fill the quota requirement established by the Cinematograph Films Act of 1927. Such features were notoriously low quality but provided valuable training opportunities, »

John Ostrander: Comics Writing Lessons from Shakespeare
12 May 2013 5:00 AM, PDT | Comicmix.com | See recent Comicmix news »
When asked my influences, I invariably add William Shakespeare which may seem a bit pompous. Shakespeare? Really? (Aside: this column is not going to deal with the whole “Who Really Was Shakespeare?” debate. If you want to believe someone other than Shakespeare wrote Shakespeare’s play, you go ahead. It’s not germane and, frankly, I’ve read as much on the subject as I care to and so far as I’m concerned, Shakespeare wrote Shakespeare’s plays. End of discussion.) Please note I am not comparing myself to Shakespeare; simply that I’ve learned some things about writing from him.
Such as:
Theme is tied to plot. There are famous speeches and soliloquies in Shakespeare, where the character stops to speak his or her mind, none more famous than the “to Be Or Not Be” speech in Hamlet. The action, however, doesn’t just come to a stop »

Upcoming Cinderella Has Found Her Prince in the Person of a TV King
8 May 2013 2:51 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Richard Madden: Game of Thrones’ King of the North to play Prince Charming in Cinderella Richard Madden, Game of Thrones‘ King of the North Robb Stark, has been cast as Prince Charming in Disney’s live-action retelling of the Cinderella fairy-tale. A few days ago, Lily James (Wrath of the Titans, Downton Abbey) was announced as the actress to try on Cinderella’s tiny glass slippers. The other major Cinderella cast member announced so far is Academy Award winner Cate Blanchett (Katharine Hepburn in The Aviator), who’ll play the evil Lady Tremaine, Cinderella’s wicked stepmother — perhaps with shades of Queen Elizabeth I? Cinderella follows in the (sizable) footsteps of other fairy-tales that have reached the world’s screens in recent years: Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland (2010), starring Mia Wasikowska as Alice and Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter, grossed $1.02 billion worldwide.

Michael Mann To Direct Historical Battle Film Agincourt
3 May 2013 12:05 PM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Michael Mann is set to direct a big screen adaptation of the Bernard Cornwell novel Agincourt from a script written by Stuart Hazeldine. The last movie Mann directed was Public Enemies, and it's going to be good to see him make another historical epic. He hasn't done one since Last of the Mohicans in 1992, which is one of my favorite movies of his.
The story follows "an archer who comes of age under Henry V as the king prepares to lead his outnumbered English troops against the French in the Battle Of Agincourt. The protagonist is a young man with a death sentence on his head who is saved when his skills with the bow catch the attention of the king. The archer develops into a warrior and falls in love with a young woman whose virtue he saved from a lecherous priest. He becomes the portal to the bloody battle. »

Michael Mann's 'Agincourt' Still Alive, Gets A New Writer
2 May 2013 9:37 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Though he’s set to shoot his first film in three years this month, the untitled cyber theft thriller starring Chris Hemsworth, Michael Mann is still keeping an eye on what comes next. Originally floated as his next potential film in 2010, Mann started developing “Agincourt” with a script by “Elizabeth” and “The Tudors” writer Michael Hirst before bringing on “Rko 281” director Benjamin Ross for a rewrite. Now Deadline reports that a new writer has been brought on in the form of Stuart Hazeldine (the writer behind Alex Proyas' scuttled take on “Paradise Lost” and co-writer of Moses movie “Gods and Kings”). Adapted from the Bernard Cornwell novel, the film retells the famous battle between Henry V’s English Army and the French Army, and focuses on “a young man with a death sentence who is saved when his skills with the bow catch the attention of the king. »

Michael Mann To Direct ‘Agincourt’, Brit Stuart Hazeldine To Adapt
2 May 2013 3:22 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Heat, Public Enemies and Ali helmer Michael Mann has revealed that his next project will be an adaptation of the 2008 Bernard Corwell novel Agincourt, published as Azincourt in the Us. We first heard of Mann’s involvement in the big-screen version of the novel via an article at Collider back in 2011, but now the news is that Mann has officially got things going on the project by bringing British writer Stuart Hazeldine (Exam) on board to turn said novel into a screenplay.
Amazon outlines the story:
Young Nicholas Hook is dogged by a cursed past–haunted by what he has failed to do and banished for what he has done. A wanted man in England, he is driven to fight as a mercenary archer in France, where he finds two things he can love: his instincts as a fighting man, and a girl in trouble. Together they survive the notorious massacre at Soissons, »

Michael Mann Finds Next Project, Recruits Stuart Hazeldine To Pen Script
2 May 2013 12:12 AM, PDT | LatinoReview | See recent LatinoReview news »
Michael Mann has chosen his next project. It’ll be an adaptation of Bernard Cornwell’s 2008 novel Agincourt, which tells the story of an archer who comes of age under Henry V as the king prepares to lead his outnumbered English troops against the French in the Battle Of Agincourt. British writer Stuart Hazeldine has been brought aboard to adapt the film.
Here’s a full synopsis of the movie:
Agincourt (Azincourt in French) is one of the most famous battles ever fought; the victory of a small, despised, sick and hungry army over an enemy that massively outnumbered it. Azincourt, the novel coming soon, tells the story of that small army; how it embarked from England confident of victory, but was beaten down and horribly weakened by the stubborn French defence of Harfleur.
By the end of that siege common-sense dictated that the army sail for home, but Henry V »

Michael Mann Taps Stuart Hazeldine For 15th Century Battle Of Agincourt Tale
1 May 2013 5:44 PM, PDT | Deadline New York | See recent Deadline New York news »
Exclusive: Stuart Hazeldine has been tapped to rewrite Agincourt, which Michael Mann will direct based on the Bernard Cornwell bestseller about an archer who comes of age under Henry V as the king prepares to lead his outnumbered English troops against the French in the Battle Of Agincourt. That epic battle was immortalized by Shakespeare’s Henry V. The protagonist is a young man with a death sentence on his head who is saved when his skills with the bow catch the attention of the king. The archer develops into a warrior and falls in love with a young woman whose virtue he saved from a lecherous priest. He becomes the portal to the bloody battle. Anyone who has seen Mann’s Last Of The Mohicans can understand my Eddie Haskell-like effusion over the prospect of the director getting back to a major historical battlefield event (“Stay alive, no matter what occurs. »

Vicious, The Job Lot, Greggs: More than Meats the Pie – TV review
29 April 2013 11:00 PM, PDT | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
Even Sirs Ian McKellen and Derek Jacobi can't rescue Vicious, ITV's feeble, old-fashioned comedy
Two new comedies from ITV. Vicious is only new in that it hasn't been on before; it doesn't feel new at all. We're talking very trad sitcom here. The "sit" part is the sitting room of a grand central London flat, where the two central characters reside. There are various ways in and out of the room – the flat's main door out on to the landing, doors to other rooms. And there's a telephone (landline).
The "com" comes from the exchange of banter and one-line gags between the two principals, and from the arrival and departure of subsidiary characters through the various entrances and exits, and from the odd telephone conversation. The com is marked by uproarious studio laughter (No! Why? In 2013!).
What's (a bit) interesting about Vicious is that the leads – Freddie and Stuart – are »

Ten Things About... Derek Jacobi
29 April 2013 1:30 PM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - TV news news »
He's a true acting great, an iconic British star who has appeared in countless stage shows and TV productions. Yes, arise Sir Derek Jacobi; the Emmy, Bafta and Olivier award-winning actor and director who has starred in projects including Much Ado About Nothing, Doctor Who and children's programme In the Night Garden.
This week, Jacobi is back in the limelight (he never really left) as he joins Lord of the Rings star Sir Ian McKellen for new ITV sitcom Vicious. Playing a camp, geriatric gay couple living in Soho, the new sitcom written by Gary Janetti (Will & Grace, Family Guy) is a first for primetime TV.
> 'Vicious' review: McKellen, Jacobi can't save ITV's tired, lazy sitcom
The openly gay actor will certainly pull in an audience with Vicious, but what else has he been up to? Is there a famous figure in history he hasn't played? To enlighten you, »
James Franco Eyeing Werner Herzog’s Gertrude Bell Pic
25 April 2013 9:35 AM, PDT | Deadline New York | See recent Deadline New York news »
Exclusive: I’m not certain it’s going to happen as they try to sort scheduling issues, but Werner Herzog’s Queen Of The Desert has James Franco circling the role that Jude Law was going to play. If you recall, Herzog lined up Naomi Watts and Robert Pattinson to star in the story of Gertrude Bell’s life as a traveler, writer, archaeologist, explorer, cartographer, and political attaché for the British Empire at the dawn of the 20th Century. Law had signed on to the film, but exited awhile ago to do the play Henry V, and the project ground to a halt. Getting a commitment from Franco would put the picture back on track. Stay tuned. There is kind of a race on Gertrude Bell, as Ridley Scott also has one that Angelina Jolie was eyeing. But it looks like Scott is working hard on his Biblical film »

Patrick Garland obituary
23 April 2013 3:10 AM, PDT | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
Director and writer celebrated for his work at Chichester Festival theatre and the BBC
The career of Patrick Garland, who has died aged 78, was as varied as it was productive. An actor, producer, director, writer and anthologist, he was a leading light of the BBC TV arts department for 12 years, twice artistic director of the Chichester Festival theatre and a close friend and associate of Alan Bennett, Rex Harrison, Eileen Atkins and Simon Callow.
Although he harboured ambitions in feature films, and directed a 1971 television adaptation of Paul Gallico's The Snow Goose (starring Richard Harris and an Emmy award-winning Jenny Agutter), as well as a creditable 1973 movie of Ibsen's A Doll's House (with Claire Bloom and Anthony Hopkins), his life developed in the theatre. Much of his work was informed by his love of literature, and the poetry of Thomas Hardy, Rudyard Kipling, Philip Larkin and John Clare. In »
