New York – Director Mike Nichols’ star-powered Broadway revival of Harold Pinter’s Betrayal wrapped its 14-week limited engagement at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre on Sunday with a stunning cumulative gross of just over $17.5 million.

A major draw from its first preview performance Oct. 1, the production regularly grossed more than $1 million a week, with tickets commanding top premium prices of $423.

The star system might be waning in Hollywood, but not when those stars take to the Broadway stage. The Mike Nichols-directed revival of the Harold Pinter play Betrayal, which stars Daniel Craig, Rachel Weisz and Rafe Spall, just set a new Broadway box office record for a play when it grossed $1.44 million for the week ending December 19. That surpassed the mark formerly held by the Tom Hanks-starrer Lucky Guy, which earlier this year took in $1.412 million for the week ending April 21. First performed at London’s National Theatre in 1978, Betrayal ends its limited run this Sunday, January 5. Weisz and Craig play a married couple whose happiness is threatened when her long affair with her publisher husband’s lit agent best friend (Spall) is exposed.

Los Angeles, Dec 3: Actors Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz's Broadway show "Betrayal" stalled for a few minutes after some technical problem occurred.
It shows the married couple in the roles of Robert and Emma in the revival of Harold Pinter's 1978 play, which tells the story of a woman's affair with her husband's friend.
The show experienced a halt of 15 minutes, but the cast decided to resume the performance.
"The show's automation failed after Scene 2, into Scene 3, necessitating manual set changes for the rest of the performance," said the representative of the production.
"There was a 15-minute pause.

Ewan McGregor will make his Broadway debut in a revival of Tom Stoppard’s knotty relationship drama “The Real Thing,” Roundabout Theatre Company said Thursday. McGregor will play an unhappily married playwright, whose wife also happens to be the lead actress in a play he wrote about a fraying romantic relationship. His decision to embark on an affair with their mutual friend becomes a case of life imitating art in true Stoppard fashion. It’s a meaty role — one that won Tonys for Jeremy Irons in the original 1984 Broadway production and Stephen Dillane in a 2000 revival. Also read: ‘Betrayal’ Theater Review:.

In honor of "Betrayal"'s Broadway opening, the Film Society of Lincoln Center has fashioned a Pinter-centric program, presenting some of the best adaptations of the Englishman's work, in addition to his own screenplays. Pinter's career as a playwright began with a production of "The Room" in 1957, and eventually spanned more than 50 years, netting him the 2005 Nobel Prize for Literature and the French Légion d'honneur in 2007. His best-known plays include "The Birthday Party" (1957), "The Homecoming" (1964), and "Betrayal" (1978), each of which he adapted for the screen. His screenplay adaptations of others' works include "The Servant" (1963), "The Go-Between" (1970), "The French Lieutenant's Woman" (1981), "The Trial" (1993), and "Sleuth" (2007).“The Broadway production of one of Harold Pinter’s masterpieces, 'Betrayal,' is sure to be one of the theatrical events of the year, and provided the perfect occasion for us to revisit Pinter’s body of work for the cinema” said Gavin...

Daniel Craig has a license to kill at the Broadway box office. Teaming the James Bond star with his real-life wife, Rachel Weisz, turns out to have been a very good idea for the producers of the Harold Pinter revival Betrayal. Though the show doesn’t open until Oct. 27, the Mike Nichols-directed drama has broken records at the Barrymore Theatre for its first two weeks of previews. For the week ending Oct. 13, it took in $1.11 million for seven performances, according to figures from the Broadway League. That tops the weekly earnings of the Philip Seymour Hoffman-topped revival of...

Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz are taking a bow. The Broadway revival of Harold Pinter's critically acclaimed play Betrayal, starring the real-life Hollywood spouses, officially kicked off previews Tuesday night. And by the smiles on their pretty faces, they seemed relatively pleased with the results. And that's despite the gloomy nature of the story, which is told in reverse chronology and chronicles a love triangle between an unhappily married publisher named Robert (Craig), his cheating wife, Emma (Weisz) and her literary-agent lover, Jerry (Rafe Spall). The James Bond star last appeared on Broadway opposite fellow hunk Hugh Jackman in A Steady Rain while this is the first stint along the Great...

Daniel Craig has discussed his hopes for Bond 24.
The James Bond actor told Vulture that he hopes to "reclaim the old irony" from earlier films, in the next instalment of the long-running franchise.
He said: "Hopefully we'll reclaim some of the old irony and make sure it doesn't become pastiche.
"I can't do shtick, I'm not very good at it. Unless it kind of suddenly makes sense. Does that make sense? I sometimes wish I hammed it up more, but I just can't do it very well, so I don't do it."
The actor will begin filming the next Bond movie - rumoured to be based on Sebastian Faulks's 2008 novel Devil May Care - after he completes his 14-week run on Broadway in Harold Pinter's Betrayal.
Craig stars opposite his real-life wife Rachel Weisz in the play about a woman who has a seven-year affair with her husband's best friend.

The prospect of Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz—certifiably beautiful movie stars who happen to be married—appearing in a Broadway revival of Harold Pinter’s Betrayal under the direction of Mike Nichols (fresh from his Death of a Salesman with Philip Seymour Hoffman) is enough to quicken the blood, but there’s another prospect, almost as tantalizing: that the publicity-averse couple will finally be forced to sit side by side and talk about each other. About their swift and surprising union. How it feels to work together. How they manage to maintain a sphere of privacy. Tell us how you keep your secrets, Mr. and Mrs. Celebrity Couple. Spill. The tabloid dream dies fast.

Former LCD Soundsystem frontman will provide music for new production starring Daniel Craig, Rachel Weisz and Rafe Spall
James Murphy is heading to Broadway. The former LCD Soundsystem bandleader is writing music for a new production of Harold Pinter's Betrayal.
Mike Nichols will direct the production at the Ethel Barrymore theatre in New York, which will have a tiny, star-studded cast: Rachel Weisz, Daniel Craig and Rafe Spall. Weisz and Craig – who are married in real life – will also portray a husband and wife on the stage, while Spall will play the part of a friend with whom Weisz's character is having an affair. Previews begin in October.
The only information about Murphy's involvement comes from Playbill, the Broadway magazine, which reports that he will compose original music. Further sound design will come from Tony-winner Scott Lehrer.

This fall, Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz will star in a Mike Nichols stage production of Harold Pinter's Betrayal. In these exclusive shots taken by Brigitte Lacombe, you can see the two — alongside Rafe Spall (Life of Pi, Prometheus), making his Broadway debut — in early rehearsals. Previews for the play, which takes place in reverse chronology and involves a couple (like the married Weisz and Craig) whose wife is having an affair with their good friend (not like Weisz and Craig), will begin October 1 and the show opens October 27. (American Express pre-sale June 26; general on-sale July 12.) Also, LCD Soundsystem front man James Murphy will also be making his Broadway debut with original music for the show.

The couple that dresses together, stays together! Daniel Craig and wife Rachel Weisz were spotted running errands in NYC wearing almost identical outfits—denim pants and denim jackets. The couple looked comfortable while the Bond actor even topped his look off with a New York Yankees cap. The happily married duo is set to costar together in Harold Pinter's Broadway play, Betrayal, which is set to begin on Oct. 1 at the Barrymore Theather. We wonder if the two consulted with one another before stepping out of the house!

The Graduate's director Mike Nichols seems more comfortable in the theatre these days. Last year he was behind the Broadway revival of Arthur Miller's Death Of A Salesman (with Philip Seymour Hoffman), and he's currently working with Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz on Harold Pinter's Betrayal. He hasn't made a film since the excellent Charlie Wilson's War in 2008, but if anyone can tempt him back behind the camera, we'd suggest it might be J.J. Abrams. Nichols is currently in talks with Abrams and his Bad Robot cohorts to direct One Last Thing Before I Go.The film is based on the novel by Jonathan Tropper about a former drummer in a one-hit-wonder rock band, washed up in a residential hotel after the failure of his marriage. He finds out that his daughter is pregnant and his wife is remarrying at the same time that he learns that he's got a serious heart condition.

The new movie from the director of Blue Valentine is a modern morality tale underpinned by outstanding central performances
Brother Tied, the first film by Derek Cianfrance, now aged 39, was made 15 years ago and apparently remains in some legal limbo, unreleased and unseen. His second film, Blue Valentine, released in 2010, attracted considerable attention for the outstanding performances of Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams as respectively a blue-collar worker and the middle-class medical student who gives up her studies to marry him. The movie traces their seven-year marriage achronologically, starting with its final collapse. But unlike Harold Pinter's Betrayal, which moves steadily back in time from bitter dissolution to propitious beginning, Blue Valentine hops around over the years as the couple reflect on their lives.
Cianfrance's ambitious new film, The Place Beyond the Pines, has a straight linear movement that sprawls and at times crawls over some 17 years. It's a...

The husband-and-wife duo will appear together in Harold Pinter's Betrayal, a play about an adulterous couple
Real-life husband and wife Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz are to play an adulterous stage couple in a Broadway production of Harold Pinter's Betrayal.
Weisz will make her Broadway debut in Pinter's 1978 study in deception, which charts an extramarital affair in reverse.
Her character, Emma, is married to Craig's Robert, but is having an affair with Jerry, played by rising star Rafe Spall.
James Bond star Craig last appeared on Broadway in 2009 in A Steady Rain, where he received positive notices opposite Hugh Jackman even though the play itself did not.
Craig has reportedly signed on for at least two more Bond films following Skyfall, which was the first Bond film to rake in more than $1bn in revenue. It also won two Oscars, including one for Adele's theme song.

The well-known play, which will have a limited 14-week run, tells the story of a publisher (Craig) whose wife (Weisz) is having an affair with his literary-agent friend. Weisz first told E! News back in February that the spouses were "absolutely hoping to" star in the play and wanted it to work out "very much." Good thing it did! The James Bond hunk is no stranger to Broadway and starred opposite Hugh Jackman on 2009's A Steady Rain. But...

The revival of the 1978 play reunites producer Scott Rudin with director Mike Nichols, who had one of the major hits of last season on Broadway with their superlative revival of Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman, starring Philip Seymour Hoffman and Andrew Garfield. That production won Tony Awards for best revival of a play and best direction. Story: 'Skyfall' Star Daniel Craig Reveals the Downside of Being James Bond Betrayal will play a limited 14-

Rachel Weisz and Daniel Craig — who, you may recall, are married in real life — will also pretend to be married in a Broadway production of Harold Pinter's Betrayal. Weisz (in her Broadway debut) will play Emma to Craig's Robert, which means she'll be cheating on him for seven years, but don't worry. It's just a play. Repeat that to yourself, Daniel Craig.

Looking at the Best Actor Academy Award nominations for the film year 2012, the one miss that clearly cries out for more attention is Liam Neeson’s powerful performance in Joe Carnahan’s excellent survival film The Grey, easily one of the best roles of Neeson’s career.
In Neeson’s case, his lack of a nomination was a case of neglect similar to the Albert Brooks snub in the Best Supporting Actor category for the film year 2011 for Drive(Nicolas Winding Refn, USA).
Along with negligence, other factors commonly prevent outstanding lead acting performances from getting the kind of critical attention they deserve. Sometimes it’s that the performance is in a film not considered “Oscar material” or even worthy of any substantial critical attention.

They’re both massive Hollywood stars in their own right, and now Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz are in talks to star together in Harold Pinter’s Broadway production of “Betrayal.”
According to the “Runaway Jury” actress, she and her “Skyfall” husband are in the final stages of drawing up a contract for the job.
Rachel gushed, “We’re absolutely hoping to [make this happen]. We’re in negotiations. I want to very much.”
"When you do a play, you get to really be like the editor and the director, and, you know, you're in charge. It's your ship to sail, and you tell the story from beginning to end one night or twice a day on Thursdays and Saturdays. So when you do films, you film little bits off and out of order, so it's just a different kind of feeling. You get to tell the story and it's live, so it's very exciting.

Weisz confirms a report from earlier this month that the two are in talks to star on Broadway together in Harold Pinter's Betrayal, about a publisher whose wife is having an affair with his literary-agent friend.

If you’ve ever heard high-culture appreciating television viewers lament the fact that Bravo used to air operas while now it airs Andy Cohen, those same folks might be equally disheartened to see this one act play directed by Robert Altman in 1987 for ABC, the network that is now home to 17 seasons of “The Bachelor.” Altman directed a two-part special entitled “Basements,” with both halves being adaptations of English playwright Harold Pinter’s one act plays “The Room” and “The Dumb Waiter.” “The Room” surfaced online recently in the form of a VHS rip, and it’s a thoroughly bizarre 48 minute experience that fans of the celebrated Altman (“Gosford Park,” “The Player,” “M*A*S*H*”) or Pinter (“The Birthday Party,” “The Homecoming,” “Betrayal”) might want to check out. The story centers on a woman (the dimunitive Linda Hunt) living in...
