Simon Farnaby Talks The Elite Knights of Your Highness
27 October 2009 7:14 PM, PDT | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
I had the distinct pleasure to take part in a round table discussion with Bunny & the Bull director Paul King and stars Edward Hogg and Simon Farnaby at this weekend's cosplay-tastic McM Expo, where they provided a brief welcome relief amongst the rampaging hordes of toons-made-flesh on a good time mission. Farnaby has recently completed filming on David Gordon Green's Your Highness, in which he is playing one of a gang of "Elite Knights" who he says are the "baddies" of the picture. When the round table was wrapping up and the old "What's next for you?" standby came out, he was forthcoming with some details of his scenes and on-set experience. Full quotage after the break. Here's a taste of what we can expect from Farnaby's role: I play a knight, Mancunius the Bold. Who’s sort of… there’s a gang of Elite Knights led by Damian Lewis »

Making Waves: Keira Knightley to conquer stage via The Misanthrope!

I agree with Colin Boyd over @TheBigPicture about Keira Knightley, when he said: Sure, the Pirates movies built her stardom, but she's also picked up an Oscar nomination in the past six years (Pride and Prejudice), was quite good in Atonement, and has done a lot of left-of-center stuff when she could have played it safe and gone for romantic comedies.
- - -
- - - That's why Ms. Knightley remains one of today's most sought-after actresses, she is always looking for ways to hone her craft. Now, she's determined to enter theater - Knightley joins Damian Lewis and an outstanding ensemble with Tara Fitzgerald and Dominic Rowan in Martin Crimp's blistering version of Molière's greatest comedy, The Misanthrope.
Transported from 17th century Paris to modern-day London, Alceste (Damian Lewis) is a famous British playwright disillusioned and angry with the hypocrisy, shallowness and vanity of the contemporary world. »

Keira Knightley set for West End
9 October 2009 10:01 PM, PDT | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »
Keira Knightley is to swap the big screen for the theatre when she makes her West End debut. The 'Pirates of the Caribbean' star will play a vacuous Hollywood starlet in a modern version of Moliere's 17th century comedy 'The Misanthrope' in London's famous theatre district. Keira, 24, is said to be "terrified but excited" about the play. The Oscar-nominated star's character is the love interest of British stage veteran Damian Lewis' lead character. Keira has been taking voice and singing lessons to prepare for the play which opens at the Comedy Theatre in December. Director Thea Sharrock - who directed 'Harry Potter' star Daniel Radcliffe in his 2007 stage debut in 'Equus' - said: "It's not a whim on »

Knightley's Director Defends Stage Debut
9 October 2009 5:16 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
The director working on Keira Knightley's upcoming stage debut has been forced to defend her decision to hire the Hollywood actress - following criticism about theatres using big names to sell tickets.
The Pirates of the Caribbean star is to make her first appearance in London's West End in December to tackle the role of fictitious, flirtatious actress Jennifer in Moliere classic The Misanthrope.
She will appear alongside Damian Lewis and Tara Fitzgerald in the play, which is scheduled to open in the British capital on 17 December.
But director Thea Sharrock is adamant the production will not trade on the actress' high profile.
She says, "It's not the Keira Knightley show. She's the leading lady because she has the biggest female role, but she's not the lead part. This is Damian's show. I signed up to work with Damian Lewis because it's brilliant to get him back on stage. And along the way we happened to get Keira Knightley, which is fantastic and I'm very excited but, you know, it's in that order."
And Sharrock admits she has been pleasantly surprised by Knightley's dedication to the role.
She adds, "It's not a whim on her part. She's absolutely ready to come into this vulnerable position - and I'm interested in working with her, to push her in a way that I don't think she has been pushed before because although she has worked with amazing directors, film doesn't work like that." »
question of the day: Are Brits taking over American TV, and does anyone care?

John Patterson -- who writes for the British Guardian from Los Angeles -- sees a new British invasion in progress: In the last few years Us network drama line-ups have been headed by the imported likes of Tim Roth (Lie To Me), Damian Lewis (Life, since cancelled, sadly), Michelle Ryan (Bionic Woman – ditto), Dominic West and Idris Elba (The Wire), and Jamie Bamber (Battle- star Galactica). This season Joseph Fiennes is starring in FlashForward while Jared Harris is guest-starring in Mad Men. There are even Brits in Gossip Girl. ... »

Life: Season Two - DVD Review
29 August 2009 12:04 PM, PDT | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »
Life was another show that was given a death sentence from the writer.s strike. I guess it was given a chance in its second season, but the ratings failed to materialize. It didn.t help that some real life incidences caused the show to be rewritten and one of the main characters to disappear. Charlie Crews (Damian Lewis) was a cop wrongly convicted of murder and given a life sentence. It took twelve years, but Crews was later exonerated; released from prison; given a hefty financial settlement; and had his badge reinstated. Crews return was not seen favorably at police headquarters and he was partnered with another damaged cop Det. Dani Reese (Sarah Shahi) who is a recovering »

DVD Playhouse—August 2009
By
Allen Gardner
Watchmen—Director’S Cut (Warner Bros.) Director Zack Snyder’s film of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ landmark graphic novel is as worthy an adaptation of a great book that has ever been filmed. In an alternative version of the year 1985, Richard Nixon is serving his third term as President and super heroes have been outlawed by a congressional act, in spite of the fact that two of the most high-profile “masks,” Dr. Manhattan (Billy Cruddup) and The Comedian (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) helped the U.S. win the Vietnam War. When The Comedian is found murdered, many former heroes become concerned that a conspiracy is afoot to assassinate retired costumed crime fighters. Former masks Nite Owl (Patrick Wilson), Silk Spectre (Malin Akerman) and still-operating Rorschach (Jackie Earle Haley, in an Oscar-worthy turn) launch an investigation of their own, all while the Pentagon’s “Doomsday »

Tater Tops 2009: What Show Will You Miss the Most?
7 June 2009 6:03 AM, PDT | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »
We lost a number of wonderful shows this year, but based on your emails, these are the five most lamented losses: • "Beets, bears, Battlestar Galactica." • ER, the medical drama that reliably entertained us every Thursday at 10 p.m. for 15 years • Prison Break, a show that (let's not kid ourselves) was some of the craziest TV anywhere, but which also featured shirtless, tattooed Wentworth Miller... • Life, starring Damian Lewis and Sarah Shahi, a contemporary cop drama retold in Zen-vision • Pushing Daisies, which...um, would you excuse us for a moment? No...no, it's Ok. We're just going to listen to "Morning Has Broken" on repeat... »

Memorial Day Movie Recommendation: Band of Brothers
25 May 2009 7:58 AM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
What’s there to say except this: if you’ve never seen HBO’s 10-part mini-series “Band of Brothers” from 2001, then you just don’t appreciate good moviemaking. Bar none the best and most exhaustive portrait of America’s fighting men at war through the eyes of a single company, the series introduces the men of Easy Company as they go through basic training to finally landing in the war theater — and dropped behind enemy lines by accident. Each episode features the actual veterans being portrayed in the film as they recount their tale of blood, woe, and in some cases, exhilaration as young men grew up with bullets flying over their heads. A great, starring turn by Damian Lewis as the emphatic C.O. who grows to love the men, and they him, while Matthew Settle as Speirs, a seemingly invincible, but reckless C.O. steals the show whenever »

NBC Cancels Life

For two seasons, Life aired on NBC. The always fantastic Damian Lewis starred as Charlie Crews; a man wrongly tried and convicted of a crime he did not commit, served twelve years in prison, was eventually exonerated, and returned to the Lapd as the detective he once was before his time in prison. Oh, yeah, and he became a multi-millionaire after successfully suing for wrongful incarceration. Crews was partnered with Detective Dani Reese after his release from prison, played by the… »

NBC takes the 'Life' out of the network
5 May 2009 7:24 AM, PDT | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »
One of the best shows on NBC is dead in the water. "Life" starred Donal Logue, Adam Arkin and Damian Lewis, and for network fare, the show was well-written and cast perfectly. The series has come to an end. NBC announced a partial schedule yesterday without announcing any cancellations. But word quickly spread among reporters from inside network sources that the dramedy was done. "Life" was an excellent under-the-radar series that didn't get a whole lot of coverage from the media. .Life. is the tale of officer Charlie Crews (Damian Lewis) as he rebuilds his own life that was marred by a false accusation that imprisoned him for twelve years.Charlie went Zen instead of bitter or angry »
