This Is Why Judi Dench Is The Queen Of All Things
19 hours ago | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
In a recently resurfaced 2005 interview with "Pride and Prejudice" stars Keira Knightley and Matthew MacFadyen, a bit of trivia regarding their co-star Dame Judi Dench stood out.
The 78-year-old Oscar-winning actress, perhaps best known to younger generations as M from the James Bond franchise, is apparently far raunchier than most soft-spoken English royalty.
"But perhaps the most arresting memory that they take away from being on set with living legend Judi Dench is not her boundless fascination with acting but her penchant for subversive needlework," reads the passage from Premier Magazine. "'She makes these like needlework embroideries on set in the tedium of filming', says MacFadyen, 'but they are all: 'You Are a Cunt'. And she gives them as presents. And it's Dame Judi Dench. And she is doing this beautifully, intricate, ornate (work). You kind of see the work materializing as the shoot goes on. Like: 'You Are a Fucking Shit. »

Joss Whedon On Dombey And Son Movie Ambitions
17 June 2013 5:33 PM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
Joss Whedon has been in the news a lot recently, in no small part because of what he said in our recent Much Ado About Nothing Empire Podcast, with details on both Loki's absence in Avengers 2 and Quicksilver / Scarlet Witch's appearance in the same ruffling feathers everywhere. And yet, there's more - and this time it's about Mr. Whedon's love of Charles Dickens, and how he'd love to make a Dombey And Son movie.It's long been known that Whedon loves his Dickens. His top five books are the following: Frances Hodgson Burnett's A Little Princess, Dickens' Dombey And Son, Frank Herbert's Dune, Truffaut's Hitchcock and Jane Austen's Pride And Prejudice. But there's been nothing from the Buffy / Angel / Firefly creator on whether he'd like to take a particular Dickens and put it on the big screen... until now."God, I’ve thought about [adapting a Dickens novel] a lot.

Taormina Film Festival Welcomes Web Shows

By welcoming Internet series, Taormina is putting itself at the forefront of international fests showcasing Web-based or cross-platform content alongside titles made for theatrical.
Last year, Taormina ran Web shorts individually before a movie of the same genre. This time the fest is taking a different tack, unspooling a 2½-hour segment dedicated just to world preems of Web skein pilots or unseen episodes, each no more than 10 minutes long, screening one after another.
“I’m trying out different ways to see how Web series can become festival fare,” says artistic director Mario Sesti.
Italy, where the webisode phenom got started only about two years ago, will feature prominently in the Taormina lineup; the only international Web skein on display will be Yank Pride and Prejudice online spoof The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, developed by Hank Green and Bernie Su. The Web series scooped up the Interactive/Social Media Experience nod at this year’s Intl. »

Mad Men’s Vincent Kartheiser on Pete’s Curious Reaction to Bob Benson and Throwing a Good Tantrum
14 June 2013 9:45 AM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
It’s crazy that Vincent Kartheiser has never been nominated for an Emmy. He is the only major actor from the original Mad Men cast who hasn’t been recognized, even as series boss Matthew Weiner continues to put Pete Campbell through the ringer both physically and emotionally. This season might be his angstiest yet. He has been dumped by Trudy after cheating with a neighbor, become emboldened enough to give Don shit (“You’re Tarzan, swinging from vine to vine!”), gotten high at work, become saddled with a sick mom, and most recently, hit on by the mysterious Bob Benson. Kartheiser’s achievement (outside of his famous bitch face)? We still feel bad for the guy! Vulture caught up with the actor, who is in Minneapolis rehearsing to play Mr. Darcy in a staged production of Pride and Prejudice, to talk about Bob’s flirtation and his real fear »

Keira Knightley Eyes ‘Imitation Game’ With Benedict Cumberbatch (Exclusive)
4 June 2013 5:39 PM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
Keira Knightley is in talks to co-star with Benedict Cumberbatch in biopic “The Imitation Game.”
Pic is being helmed by “Headhunters” director Morten Tyldum with Teddy Schwarzman’s Black Bear Pictures financing.

Schwarzman will produce with Nora Grossman and Ido Ostrowsky of Ampersand Pictures. The pic is still looking for a distributor, but given the cast, it shouldn’t be long before a distrib comes on board.
The details behind the Knightley’s role are vague, but the project looks to be of a similar caliber as her previous pics “Atonement,” “Pride and Prejudice” and “A Dangerous Method. »

"Lee's obvious popularity took me by surprise," Thorson wrote in his memoir Behind the Candelabra, on which this film is based. "The guy couldn't sing, I thought; he couldn't dance, and he was over the hill! So how the hell did he draw such a crowd?" Soon, though, he was smitten: "From the moment Liberace appeared on stage in his mirrored Rolls-Royce, I was spellbound."
