'Thor' director Kenneth Branagh in talks to direct 'Cinderella' Mark Romanek recently exited the fairy tale film starring Cate Blanchett BY HITFIX STAFF THURSDAY, JAN 31, 2013 4:18 PM (HIT FIX)
"Thor" director Kenneth Branagh may help "Cinderella" live happily ever after at Disney.
Just three weeks after original director Mark Romanek ("Never Let Me Go") exited the project, Disney is reportedly in talks with Branagh to come aboard the fairy tale film.
It's scheduled to begin production this fall in London, and the studio is understandably in a hurry to ink a deal with Branagh, according to Vulture.
Cate Blanchett is still attached to play the wicked stepmother, although the search for Cinderella herself is still on. The film has been in the works since 2011, following the massive success of Tim Burton’s "Alice in Wonderland." The initial script was by Aline Brosh McKenna ("Devil Wears Prada"), but Vulute reports that "Twilight: New Moon" director Chris Weitz has since re-written it.

Tom Hiddleston and Tilda Swinton are vampire rock gods in Jim Jarmusch’s Only Lovers Left Alive Meredith Woerner
Only Lovers Left Alive centers around the relationship between Hiddleston, the melancholy vampire/musician Adam, and his centuries old lover Eve (Swinton). At some point their vampire love fest is interrupted by Eve's wild little sister Ava (Mia Wasikowska), who is in town to stir up trouble for the couple. John Hurt and Anton Yelchin are also attached to the picture, our only question is what is Hurt wearing?
We're excited to see if vampires can become "cool" again. And if anyone can revive a flogged-to-death Hollywood idea it's Jarmusch. Only Lovers Left Alive doesn't have a release date yet, but critics are speculating it will debut at Cannes Film Festival.

Tom Hiddleston's Guinea field diary: Day 4 (UNICEF)

It's day four for actor Tom Hiddleston on his first trip with UNICEF UK, visiting Guinea in West Africa. Tom will be meeting with Guinean children, families and communities. He'll also be seeing several UNICEF projects, and finding out about our work in child protection, education, and water and sanitation. Read his first, second and third posts, or follow Tom's trip on Twitter at #tom_UNICEFUK and @twhiddleston.
My fourth day begins with a run. We are in Kankan. Julien knocks on my door at 6:45am. I haven't slept much, because it's only at night that I have time to write. But I'm only here for a short while. It's important to make the most of it. Julien and I run along the river. At this hour, the streets are already bustling with activity, but the riverbank is deserted. In a few hours' time it will be almost as busy as Oxford Street. People will come from all over town to wash their clothes, their cars, and their bodies. Perhaps it's because it's very early in the morning, when the mind is clear, when our thoughts are unfettered by politeness and self-censorship, but Julien and I end up discussing our passions.
I share my admiration for Shakespeare, while Julien speaks with erudition about philosophy. He's a big fan of Michel Foucault, the French philosopher who said (among many other things): "I don't feel that it is necessary to know exactly what I am. The main interest in life and work is to become someone else that you were not in the beginning." Every day is a creative act: a step closer to becoming who you want to be. I admire Julien enormously. He believes unwaveringly in the nature of public service. He believes in the power of legacy. He believes in leaving behind a better world than the one he found. He believes, quietly but fervently, in that attempt.
As the resident representative for UNICEF in Guinea, one of Julien's greatest achievements is a project for the reintegration of children who used to be in the army, supported by the Peace Building Fund. It was our first visit of the day. In early 2011, working closely with the Minister of Youth, Julien personally persuaded the Prime Minister to approve a project to support 2000 young people who had been irregularly recruited by the armed forces. These children are essentially former child soldiers, although they have not seen actual conflict. They are young people in local communities in remote, rural areas who at the age of 15 to 17 who were recruited, some forcibly, and transported to military camps for training. They were not allowed to leave the camps and those who attempted to do so were beaten, physically punished, humiliated and deprived of food. In 2010, with the transition from military to civilian rule, these young men and women were released without any means of subsistence or transportation. In fear of stigmatisation, many of these children – frightened, scarred, adolescents – some of whom fell into crimes and banditry. Other vulnerable youths who had been affected by the conflicts in the region were recruited into the programme.
The Peace Building Fund paid for their reintegration through the government's Professional Training Centres which although reasonably equipped did not have the money to run training programmes. The project aims to facilitate the reintegration of what are now young men and women through vocational training services. The centre is a hive of activity. As I get out of the car I am directed to a quadrangle of workshop buildings, specialising in different and specific skills: woodwork; welding; plumbing, carpentry; training for electricians; brick-laying and masonry. These young adults are consumed with purpose. I've never seen craftsmen and women so proud and passionate about their work.

'Zero Dark Thirty' star Jessica Chastain 'not dating Tom Hiddleston' Published Saturday, Jan 19 2013, 12:33pm EST | By Kristina Bustos DIGITAL SPY
Jessica Chastain has denied that she's dating Thor star Tom Hiddleston.
Earlier this week, the Zero Dark Thirty actress was romantically linked to Hiddleston, after reports that she had visited his family and friends this Christmas.
"Why would they say that?" she told USA Today. "It's not true at all. It's funny, two weeks ago I was dating - I'm not dating.
"But there was a rumor on Page 6 that I was dating [co-star] Edgar Ramirez. I love him, but he's just my friend.

Tom Hiddleston Tops Sexiest Actor Poll By Brigid Brown | Posted on Friday, January 18th, 2013 (ANGLOPHENIA)
Tom Hiddleston is sexy and modest. A nice combo. (AP Photo/Matt Sayles)
More than 25,000 people cast their votes for the Total Film magazine’s annual “Sexiest Actor” poll which landed Anglo Fan Favorite 2012 Tom Hiddleston (Thor) at number one. Robert Pattinson, who won last year, came in at number two.
Total Film got a chance to interview Hiddleston and get his reaction to the win. First things first, Hiddleston asked the magazine, “I suppose my question is: Are you sure? If you are sure, then I am very flattered.”
It’s nice to know you can always count on English self deprecation. Yep, Tom, you are the winner!
With that settled he goes on to explain his surprise saying, “One of the great flaws we all share is that we think everyone else is cool,” said Hiddleston when learning about his win. “Everyone else is sexier, everyone else has all the answers. That was me too.”
Total Film suggested his playing sexy characters may up his sex appeal. Hiddleston defers credit to the hair and make-up department who does him up for the character Loki in Thor saying, “I just play the character: his intellect; his lone wolf independence; his mischief. Mischief is danger, I suppose; mischief is edge.”
Whatever it is, he’s got it.

Forget the 'no actors' rule! Jessica Chastain dating War Horse star Tom Hiddleston By RICHARD KAY (MAIL ON LINE)
She declared a strict 'no actors' dating policy this year after a frightening experience with paparazzi.
But it seems Jessica Chastain has already broken that vow, and fallen into the arms of War Horse star Tom Hiddleston.
The the flame-haired, porcelain-skinned Hollywood star, who has just been nominated for an Oscar for spy thriller Zero Dark Thirty, is the actor's new object of affection.
'Tom is taken with Jess and it’s serious,' says a friend.
'Before Christmas she visited Britain to stay with him and meet all his family for the first time.'
The couple certainly appear well suited.
However, Jessica, 35, and Tom, 31, who previously dated theatre actress Susannah Fielding, are at pains to keep their new union quiet.
Jessica, in particular, is notoriously private about her past lovers.
'In this business it’s very tough to maintain a relationship because we’re like gypsies — always on the move,' she has said.

Benedict Cumberbatch: 'Tom Hiddleston is more charming than me' (FANSHARE)
Benedict Cumberbatch has a new interview with MTV in which he discusses whether he’s more charming than Tom Hiddleston. The interviewer, Josh Horowitz, tells Cumberbatch that the world, and the internet in particular, seems to absolutely adore him and Tom Hiddleston, and asks him who’s the more charming of the two.
Cumberbatch first says, “I’d like to thank the Internet in this interview for adoring me.” He then talks about who’s more charming, saying, “The more charming person is the person that admits the other person is more charming, so Tom Hiddleston is more charming.”

Set Visit Preview: Kenneth Branagh and Chris Pine are rebooting 'Jack Ryan' KEVIN COSTNER NOTES WHY PINE IS PERFECT FOR THE TOM CLANCY HERO By Daniel Fienberg MONDAY, JAN 7, 2013 12:03 PM (HIT FIX)
LONDON - If franchise rebooting were hip-hop, Jack Ryan would be the Sugar Hill Gang -- maybe not the first on the block, but certainly far enough ahead of the curve to look cool.
Tom Clancy's dogged CIA analyst, whose rise in the literary series would take him all the way to the White House, was played by a svelte Alec Baldwin in "Hunt For Red October," became Harrison Ford for a couple '90s hits and then was embodied by Ben Affleck in "Sum of All Fears."
It's early October in London and Jack Ryan is being rebirthed for a new generation under the careful watch of director Kenneth Branagh and producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura, as well as producer Mace Neufeld, who has had a hand in each of the franchise's previous incarnations.
The first of his adventures not to be based on a Clancy novel, this origin story is simply titled "Jack Ryan" and, on the film's set, those the producers tease a plot that they mostly promise will be contemporary.
"Our world right now faces incredible economic uncertainty," hints di Bonaventura. "The notion of what is a superpower has evolved and who actually can carry what muscle and what is America's role in the world and a terrorism and all those things exist in this movie. It feels incredibly contemporary, particularly the economic aspect of it and the sense that a lot of the larger kinda 'earthquake' moves that precipitate this movie have to do with the fact of what is the economic order and who's trying to take control over it. So it's not a movie about economics, but the effect of what is going on in the world is very, very driven and very, very clear in this movie, the relationship with that."
Adds David Barron, "It's a very real central premise to the story and it's something that, when you do get to know what that central premise is, if you think back there was something in the news quite recently where two international superpowers were... somebody contemplated the very thing that's happening in our story... It's very real, very contemporary and a lot of fun."
All of the producers credit Branagh's involvement, hot off of "Thor," with kick-starting the long-gestating project, while he, in turn, tips his hat to a script so juicy it even made him want to take a key supporting role.

Kenneth Branagh recalls the opening ceremony of London 2012 27 July: the actor relives working with Danny Boyle to help create the dazzling opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympics (GUARDIAN)
"I have never learned a part more thoroughly": Kenneth Branagh performs at the opening ceremony. Photograph: Mike Segar/Reuters
A couple of days later I went to see Danny at the Olympic Stadium. It was three weeks before the ceremony and the place was packed with thousands of people all doing things impressively. Danny seemed to know everybody's first name – it was like taking a walk with the Pied Piper. We climbed on to the hill that I'd eventually be doing my piece from. It was quite a lot to take in. Danny said, "You'll be here in the person of Isambard Kingdom Brunel performing Shakespeare to the accompaniment of Elgar," and I said, "God, that's a lot of Great Britons all at once." I asked him where the prompter or autocue would be and he said, "Oh, no we won't have one of those." I have never learned a part more thoroughly in my entire professional career. The notion of screwing up in front of a billion people concentrated the mind very strongly.
On the opening night the energy was incredible and hard to resist. There was a temporary structure built as our dressing rooms and all the children involved were on the top floor. They were so wild with excitement the building was shaking. I remember being in my dressing room with the Arctic Monkeys rehearsing "Come Together" for the 5,000th time next door, and on the other side of the partition, Rowan Atkinson and Simon Rattle were discussing, in minute detail, how to be funny in two minutes and 11 seconds. Across the way Danny Boyle was talking JK Rowling off the ledge because it was her first time performing in public. As for me, I was just trying to keep my head straight and going through my lines: "Be not afeard. The isle is full of noises…"

Tom Hiddleston Wanted to Direct "Thor" Sequel Posted: December 25th, 2012 by WorstPreviews.com Staff (WORST PREVIEWS)
Now that Tom Hiddleston is becoming a household name, he is getting interested in getting behind the camera. In fact, he approached Marvel head Kevin Feige about directing the upcoming "Thor" sequel.
The actor recently sat down with Empire magazine and was asked whether he has any interest in directing. "Yes, I do," he replied. "I did ask, half-jokingly, Kevin Feige about directing 'Thor 2' and he said, 'Do you have something to show me?' I said 'no.' He said, 'If you made something and showed me, I might consider it.' But it's better for the world that he said no. It would be such a responsibility, but I think I'd enjoy it."
The job eventually went to Alan Taylor ("Game of Thrones") and is now set to hit theaters on November 8th, 2013.
