This evening (well, it’s now 6.45 am so I guess it was last night!) Laura and I headed off to the brilliant venue, Old Billingsgate near London Bridge in the City of London to attend the 14th Annual Moet British Independent Film Awards. We’d never been to the event before and after seeing the incredible [...]
A few weeks ago, I got to see a very early screening of the fabulous movie, My Week With Marilyn (see Lisa’s review here) and then meet and interview Eddie Redmayne who plays Colin Clark, in the movie. Colin Clark was the man who had a short fling with Marilyn Monroe while she was in [...]
It’s gems like filmmaker Colin Clark’s memoir of his personal experience with an icon that make the best screen stories, the ones that delve deeper into the celebrity’s persona to prove, disprove or enlighten our knowledge further and make for a more honest and intimate affair. My Week With Marilyn, the name of said memoir [...]
My Week with Marilyn hits UK cinemas this Friday, 25th November and I can’t wait to chat with people about it. I was lucky enough to see a very early screening of it to interview Eddie Redmayne (which will go live either today or tomorrow) who plays Colin Clark in the movie. It’s been such [...]
We’re just a few days away from finally getting to see the brilliant twice Oscar-nominated actress Michelle Williams take up the role of the iconic Marilyn Monroe, and Friday really can’t come fast enough. Everything we’ve seen from Simon Curtis’ My Week With Marilyn (all of which you can catch up on here) has been [...]
Here’s some lovely lovely new banners from The Avengers courtesy of those lovely (did I mention lovely) people from Marvel. The Avengers is directed by Joss Whedon and after you see this trailer, you’re going to be very keen to see the completed movie when it’s released 27th April 2012. The Avengers will see many [...]
Back at the end of the summer, we saw the fantastic first poster for Simon Curtis’ directorial feature debut, My Week With Marilyn, the Marilyn Monroe biopic that stars Michelle Williams as the actress, model, and singer renowned the world over. Earlier this month, this was then followed up with a trailer and two images, [...]
By now, everyone is well aware of the next upcoming superhero film from Marvel, The Avengers, with the ridiculously awesome trailer landing earlier this month. Joss Whedon landing the directing gig was a welcome surprise to all of his many, many fans, and it’s been good to see Marvel finding slightly unlikely candidates to take [...]
The Avengers is the next Marvel movie that we’re all very much looking forward to after Captain America: The First Avenger. The Avengers is directed by Joss Whedon and after you see this trailer, you’re going to be very keen to see the completed movie when it’s released 27th April 2012. The Avengers will see [...]
Two days ago we were treated to a couple of images and a trailer for Simon Curtis’ film My Week with Marilyn and two things were immediately clear. Firstly that the period detail is spot on and secondly that Michelle Williams is certainly up to the challenge of embodying one of the most beautiful and [...]
My week with Marilyn is one of two biopics being told about Marilyn Monroe. In this version, Michelle Williams takes up the leading role alongside a stellar cast which includes Emma Watson, Dominic Cooper, Kenneth Branagh, Julia Ormond, Toby Jones, Judi Dench, Dougray Scott, Zoë Wanamaker and Derek Jacobi. The film is directed by Simon Curtis [...]
Kenneth Branagh’s adaptation of Marvel’s Thor was released on DVD and Blu-ray last week and it’s a surprisingly fun film which did very well at the box office despite the God O’Thunder not being a hugely well known character. The DVD has a ton of these little featurettes which, when combined, form a decent behind [...]
Back in July, we got the news that Kenneth Branagh wouldn’t be returning to helm Thor 2 after his fantastic direction on the first film. There wasn’t any suggestion of animosity there, simply that he would be moving on to other projects. I think he did a great job with Thor this year, and probably [...]
The Weinstein Company have unveiled the first official poster for My Week with Marilyn. Directed by Simon Curtis (Cranford), My Week with Marilyn stars Michelle Williams, Kenneth Branagh, Judi Dench, Dominic Cooper, Emma Watson, Eddie Redmayne, Julia Ormond, Toby Jones, Derek Jacobi and Dougray Scott. Colin Clark (Redmayne), an employee of Sir Laurence Olivier’s, documents the tense interaction between [...]
Actor/director Kenneth Branagh (Hamlet) is in early talks to direct an adaptation of The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society for Fox 2000. Adapted by screenwriter Don Ross (Marley & Me), the 2008 novel centers on a thirtysomething author swarmed by letters from inhabitants of her once-German-occupied British island in the aftermath of World War II. [...]
Brian Kirk is in talks to direct Thor 2 for Walt Disney Pictures and Marvel Studios. Kirk, best known for directing episodes of Game of Thrones Dexter, Luther and Boardwalk Empire, will take over from Kenneth Branagh, who declined the chance to return to the directors chair for the sequel. Thor 2 is set for [...]
On the fifteenth of July, 2011, the highest grossing film franchise ever will finally come to an end. Spanning ten years, eight movies, four directors and a worldwide box-office gross of over six billion dollars – the Harry Potter film franchise will draw to a close with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, [...]
Evanna Lynch puts in an appearance as Luna Lovegood in this new clip from the final film in the Harry Potter saga, and with the World Premiere in London tomorrow night (and with the fans already camped out) this really is the end for the whirligig of Pottermania. We’ll be covering the premiere with red [...]
This week is all about Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 and to celebrate, Warner Bros. have released what I believe to be the final batch of images from the movie. This week, we’ll be at the world premiere in Leicester Square along with hopefully hanging out with some of the cast so [...]
More clippage from the last of the Harry Potter films, and this sees Ron and Hermione returning to an old haunt. These clips are coming thick and fast and serve to tease fans of the series, and it’s fair to say that the next few weeks will all be about the boy wizard. There’s not [...]
