By now, you’ve almost certainly seen Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. In fact, there’s a pretty good chance you’ve watched it more than once, trying to work out what it was you missed the first time round.

The Years of the Locust, by Jon Hotten, tells a true story of murder, corruption and intrigue set amidst the world of boxing.

Just a short post here, Branagh on Michelle Williams as Marilyn Monroe. (see all our BAFTA coverage including the full winners list and other interviews here). What was it like for you to play such an iconic character against such an iconic character? ‘The big learning curve was just watching Michelle Williams transform into Marilyn [...]

I’m currently sat in the media centre at BAFTA, trying to warm up after spending several hours in the freezing cold. Still, it was all worth it as I managed to snag some great interviews with the nominees and attendees. To make it even more worthwhile, I’ll be posting the interviews as soon as they’re [...]

Eddie Redmayne is an absolute gent. I got to meet him when I interviewed him for My Week with Marilyn a few months ago and I could have chatted with him all day long. He’s such a nice guy, humble and is one of Britain’s best upcoming actors. He’s currently up for the Rising Star [...]
