Tom Harper Opens War Book
22 hours ago | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
You might think that getting ready to direct Woman In Black sequel Angel Of Death would consume all of a director’s attention. Not so Tom Harper, who is somehow finding time to squeeze in the filming of War Book, written by Skins man and The Fades creator Jack Thorne.This one is also a sequel, and will continue the story of War Horse by ditching the horse and replacing him with a book. Yes, a young man finds a magical book that helps save many lives when Nazis attack a library. “I love you, War Book,” whispers Timmy Lansdale. There is a brief rustling of pages. War Book knows. War Book always know… (You’re fired – Ed)Sorry, we’re now being informed that that’s completely wrong. War Book is actually a chilling chamber piece exploring the aftermath of an international nuclear attack, through a war game played »
Tom Hiddleston to play Coriolanus at Donmar Warehouse
20 May 2013 4:00 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Star of War Horse and Thor will play opposite Mark Gatiss in Shakespeare tragedy, which he calls 'play for our time'
The film star Tom Hiddleston, whose recent hits include War Horse, The Avengers, Midnight in Paris and Thor , will return to one of the smallest stages in London's West End, the Donmar Warehouse, to play the title role in Shakespeare's blood-soaked tragedy Coriolanus.
Hiddleston described it as "a play for our time", adding: "The fate of Coriolanus dramatises the conflict in the heart of every public figure: the war between integrity and popularity; the difference between military action and politics; the debate between public responsibility and private freedom."
He will play opposite Mark Gatiss, co-founder of the League of Gentlemen, who will soon return to television screens as Mycroft Holmes in the BBC series Sherlock, making his first professional appearance in a Shakespeare play. The production, opening in December, »

5 Things You May Not Have Known About Benedict Cumberbatch
20 May 2013 8:38 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
We love Benedict Cumberbatch over here in England. Well, not everyone, but the vast majority of people I know love the man. Benedict Timothy Carlton Cumberbatch has been on our radars for years over in the UK, but it has only been recently that he has started to explode on the international stage.
Sherlock was a big milestone in his career and his turn as Arthur Conan Doyle’s most famous character has caught the eye of many around the world, and rightfully so. Cumberbatch owns the part and I don’t think too many would argue that he eclipses the people’s favorite Robert Downey Jnr.’s take on the character. That is no mean feat. The people love Downey Jr..
However, while wider audiences certainly may know him from from the Moffat’s Sherlock, it is nothing compared to the massive explosion of popularity he just had in Star Trek Into Darkness. »

'Vanya and Sonia,' 'Kinky Boots' get Tonys boosts with Drama League wins
17 May 2013 1:24 PM, PDT | Gold Derby | See recent Gold Derby news »
While the Drama League does not distinguish between Broadway and off-Broadway when doling out honors, all five of its prizes went to Tony Awards contenders this year. "Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike" won Best Play over, among others, its three Tony rivals: "The Assembled Parties," "Lucky Guy" and "The Testament of Mary." Also in contention were two other Broadway plays -- "I'll Eat You Last" and "The Nance" -- as well as off-Broadway productions "Old Hats" and "The Whale." Last year, "Other Desert Cities" won here but was bested by "Clybourne Park" at the Tonys. Two years ago, "War Horse" took both prizes. "Kinky Boots" was named Best Musical over Tonys rival "Matilda" as well as the Tony-snubbed "Motown" and four off-Broadway hits: "Dogfight,&quo »

Benedict Cumberbatch, Out of Darkness
16 May 2013 10:30 AM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
I meet Benedict Cumberbatch the afternoon after an awkward appearance on Letterman, where he was promoting his part as John Harrison, an intergalactic terrorist, in J. J. Abrams’s Star Trek Into Darkness. It’s a summery spring day in New York, and we’re on the patio of his room at the Bowery Hotel. Cumberbatch—his dead-white complexion shaded by a newsboy cap—is “chuffed” by his posh digs; it’s his first starring role in a blockbuster, and he’s not used to this level of star treatment—well, from everyone except David Letterman, who has not, apparently, been following the actor’s rise as avidly as the actor’s Internet fan club, the Cumberbitches. Not only did Cumberbatch have to follow an animal act, but Letterman, who began by referring to Star Trek as Star Wars, asked his guest—a veteran of twenty movies, including Tinker Tailor »

Trailer For Richard Curtis’ About Time Will Have You Trying To Buy Tickets
15 May 2013 3:06 PM, PDT | AreYouScreening.com | See recent AreYouScreening news »
Some films come with their audiences already owning tickets, and Richard Curtis’ upcoming About Time is one of them. Just connecting Love Actually to the film is all you need, but then throw in Bill Nighy being endearing, and add the charm of Domhnall Gleeson, who seems to have been born from Curtis’ imagination, and this film is an absolute lock. At least, it looks that way from the trailer.
You think you can keep yourself from falling for this one, especially because “time travel” is featured prominently, but just give in now.
At the age of 21, Tim Lake (Domhnall Gleeson) discovers he can travel in time…
The night after another unsatisfactory New Year party, Tim’s father (Bill Nighy) tells his son that the men in his family have always had the ability to travel through time. Tim can’t change history, but he can change what happens and »

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, »

Rachel McAdams falls for another time traveler in 'About Time' trailer
14 May 2013 6:38 PM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »
It looks like "The Time Taveler's Wife" wasn't enough for Rachel McAdams. She's got a new movie that finds her being romanced by yet another time traveler. This one seems a bit more lighthearted, though.
In "About Time," Domhnall Gleeson plays a man who finds out that men in his family can travel through time. He uses his power to win over a girl, McAdams' character, but accidentally erases his own timeline. From that point forward he has to try to win her over once again.
"About Time" is written and directed by Richard Curtis ("Love Actually," "Notting Hill" and "War Horse") and also features Bill Nighy, Tom Hollander and Vanessa Kirby. It's currently scheduled for theaters on November 1. »

Garrett Hedlund to Star in Matthew Michael Carnahan’s Directorial Debut Violent Talent; Margot Robbie, Tony Kebbell, and Riz Ahmed Co-Star
13 May 2013 7:52 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Screenwriter Matthew Michael Carnahan (State of Play) is ready to make his directorial debut with the Chicago crime thriller Violent Talent. Garrett Hedlund (Tron: Legacy) has signed on to star---Margot Robbie (Pan Am), Tony Kebbell (War Horse), and Riz Ahmed (Four Lions) will take supporting roles. Per Deadline, Carnahan's script centers on "Eamon (Hedlund) as he and his two oldest friends Angel and Quan (Kebbell and Ahmed) try to build a criminal empire in a contemporary Chicago where he feels crime might be the most honest job around." Hedlund is from the Midwest (Minnesota), but I find it curious to cast two Brits (Kebbell, Ahmed) and an Aussie (Robbie) around him when the setting is so heavily accented. Better to surround him with good actors than good accents, though, and I like what I've seen of Kebbell, Ahmed, and Robbie. Plus, Robbie's American accent was good enough for me in Pan Am and, »

Is the water-dwelling beast known as Nessie just an old salt's tale, or could there be something real to the legend of the mythical beast? That's the question posed by the new film looking to delve into those waters of mystery.

Star Wars Episode VII to Shoot in the UK
13 May 2013 1:30 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
With a 2015 release date pencilled into the calendar, all eyes are soon going to be turning to Star Wars Episode VII’s production. The film instantly became one of the most talked-about projects when it was announced that Disney were buying Lucasfilm last year, and launching a long-discussed new trilogy.
After a search, filled with rumours from the likes of Matthew Vaughn and Colin Trevorrow, J.J. Abrams officially took the job to direct the upcoming blockbuster back in January. And now Lucasfilm are announcing that Abrams and co. will be heading to our shores to shoot Star Wars Episode VII, following in the footsteps of the past six films.
All of its predecessors have been at least partly filmed here in the UK, shooting in the likes of Pinewood, Leavesden, Elstree, Shepperton, and Ealing Studios. And now Episode VII will be the latest in the franchise to do the same. »
