On the following pages, I’ve got some new pictures of Anne Hathaway in costume as Catwoman from the set of The Dark Knight Rises. Since I know how sensitive many of you are to spoilers, the first page only shows my fan-art recreation of the costume. Sorry to anyone I fooled you into thinking this was an official publicity still. It isn’t. It’s just a drawing. That’s supposed to be her litter box in the background on the bottom right.
PREPARE FOR A CUMBERBATCHING MOST FIERCE!
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, an early frontrunner for the Oscars’ Stiffest Upper Lip award (ensemble), now has a full-length trailer. Directed by Let the Right One In‘s Tomas Alfredson, the Cold War spy story stars Gary Oldman, John Hurt, Colin Firth, Tom Hardy, Mark Strong, Ciaran Hinds, and, as if it couldn’t get anymore British, Benedict Cumberbatch, a name I don’t even feel comfortable saying without a powdered wig. FUN FACT: If you shut the lights and say “Benedict Cumberbatch” three times into the mirror, “Yakety Sax” starts playing and you have four minutes to catch the fox before he steals your Yorkshire pudding.
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, from Let the Right One In director Tomas Alfredson, based on the spy novel by John le Carré, premieres at the Venice Film Festival over the weekend, and now the first clip from the film is online. It stars Mark Strong, Gary Oldman, John Hurt, Colin Firth, and Tom Hardy, and the first clip is everything you could ever want in a clip, provided what you want is super-serious British dudes having a gravelly-voice contest. GRR, GUV, DA QUEEN SAYS DA BARRISTAH’S LORRIE HAIN’T BEEN DIS NACKERED IN DOG’S EARS.
From Let the Right One In director Tomas Alfredson comes this new adaptation of John Le Carré’s novel, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, starring pretty every British guy, including Tom Hardy, Mark Strong, Colin Firff, Gary Oldman (yeah, he’s British too, I had to look it up), Toby Jones, and King of All Brits, Benedict Cumberbatch. Seriously, I can’t get halfway through typing that name without offering to shoyne someone’s boots. Set in the 70s, Oldman plays a retired intelligence agent who comes out of retirement to help catch a Soviet mole. It looks pretty good, but I’d argue that six British dudes trying to catch an actual mole would be just as entertaining. Especially if we greased the mole and made the Brits wear silly hats. How come now one asks for my script notes?
For the ladies
Opens November 18th.
Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke’s next project is a “gothic horror reimagining” of Little Red Riding Hood (Red Riding Hood) starring Amanda Seyfried, Julie Christie, Gary Oldman, and the recently cast Lukas Haas.
David Leslie Johnson (Orphan) [SECRET DWARF HOOKER!! -Ed.] wrote the script, which is set in a medieval village haunted by a werewolf. [Variety]
But how will they update this for a contempo audience? Will the werewolf fight vampires? Will he embody ethnic temptation?? WILL HE HAVE CHISELED WOLF ABS????
The film is being described as a “gothic horror re-imagining” and stars Amanda Seyfried as the titular character, but a wolf isn’t the only thing she’s got to worry about– Seyfried’s character is caught in the midst of a love triangle. She’s engaged to a guy played by Max Irons, but also has a thing for Shiloh Fernandez’s character, an orphaned woodcutter. Then there’s Julie Christie as Red Riding Hood’s grandmother and Gary Oldman as Father Solomon, the guy in charge of finding and killing that pesky wolf. Haas is on board to play the village priest.

HOORAY FOR LOVE TRIANGLES! But let’s be honest, one of these guys has to turn out to be the werewolf. Young girls aren’t going to watch a werewolf movie unless the hairy wolfman tries to f*ck the pretty white girl. Well, not “f*ck” maybe, not until they’re married. Before that, they’ll have to settle for blowing a house down.
