Toronto: Maggie Gyllenhaal and Hugh Dancy create good vibrations with 'Hysteria'
17 September 2011 5:00 AM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
In the prudish days of Victorian England, a quarter of London’s female population suffered from hysteria — a misguided catch-all medical diagnosis of female malaise, melancholia, and anxiety. Suffering women of means found treatment from male medical specialists — quacks actually — who offered “pelvic massage.” Fortunately, there was a brilliant doctor willing to roll up his sleeves and get to the heart of the matter. In Hysteria, a romantic comedy that premiered Thursday night at the Toronto Film Festival, Hugh Dancy portrays Mortimer Granville, the buttoned-up but idealistic inventor of the vibrator. Maggie Gyllenhaal plays the progressive daughter of London’s »

Nicholas Hoult: 'Can you not just say I was lighthearted and witty?'
20 May 2011 4:08 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
He was the cocksure teen charmer in Skins, and stripped off for Colin Firth in A Single Man. But Nicholas Hoult isn't about to bare all for anybody
"I've been called Colin Firth and Hugh Grant's love child before," jokes Nicholas Hoult self-consciously. Their young co-star has certainly got their quintessentially British art of saying "um" and looking embarrassed down to a T. Studiously dressed down in mud-coloured hoodie, jeans and "don't look at me" trainers, the 21-year-old is still strikingly handsome, with his Vulcan eyebrows, alpine cheekbones and the sort of blue eyes you'd have thought possible only with extensive Photoshopping. Yet he's clearly anything but at home – either in his skin, or in the luxury of his Soho hotel suite. "My father was a pilot, and growing up we'd always get warnings about how expensive the minibar was: 'Don't touch the salted peanuts!'"

Tom Hooper: already above Oscar?
25 February 2011 1:53 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Tom Hooper may not pick up the award for best director but Academy Awards matter less to such a high achiever, says Catherine Shoard
The odds are that Tom Hooper won't be named best director this Sunday. What that will make him, by default, is the year's most discreet. For although the cast, composer and writer of The King's Speech seem shoo-ins – and the film itself may well win best picture – Hooper himself looks likely to lose out.
An insult? Was he really the one thing that let the side down? No: it's a compliment. Hooper has helmed an awards-gorger of a movie, an underdog the size of a bus that's steamrollered the competition into submission, and no one really noticed there was a driver. A story in last week's Evening Standard said that "Peter Hooper" was irked by accusations of historical inaccuracy. This is the man behind the biggest Britflick in years. »

British directors: from TV drama to Hollywood
23 February 2011 4:00 PM, PST | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
This year's Oscar nominees include three British directors who cut their teeth in TV. So why are American directors still so wary of the small screen?
In the history of cinema, the word "television" has traditionally been used as an insult. Directors or actors who failed to make the expected impact in Hollywood would be whisperingly dismissed as box-fodder. And, in the UK, even though broadcasters such as the BBC and Channel 4 have been a major source of movie funding since the 1980s, it remains a damaging insult for a critic to say that a cinema release has a "made for television" look.
Such attitudes, though, are increasingly challenged by the Oscar nomination lists, and especially by the British talent involved. Strikingly, graduates of two of our leading TV soap operas – EastEnders and Casualty – are packing their tuxedos for the ceremony this Sunday. Although The King's Speech will dominate »

Ascension: A Tom Hooper Profile (Part 1)
1 February 2011 11:36 PM, PST | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Following his Academy Award nomination for Best Director on The King's Speech, Trevor Hogg profiles the career of British filmmaker Tom Hooper in the first of a two-part feature...
“I fell in love with directing at the age of twelve, at prep school in Highgate,” stated British filmmaker Tom Hooper who as a student came across the book How to Make Film and Television. His career ambitions were fueled further when an uncle gave the London native a cast-off clockwork 16mm Bolex camera which allowed him to make his debut effort, a short film called Runaway Dog. Later, during the year between Westminster and Oxford University, Hooper produced a fifteen minute project about a painting that terrorizes its creator (Philip Rosch). Costing $16,000, Painted Faces (1992) was broadcast on Channel 4’s First Frame and received extra financial support from commercial director Paul Weiland which allowed it to be screened at the 35th London Film Festival. »
