James Bond producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli confirmed today that the character of Q will be making a welcome return to the 007 franchise in new film Skyfall - with the role played by Ben Whishaw.
The first official image of Whishaw on set, with Daniel Craig in the background, has been sent to us and is featured below. The image above shows Ben at a BAFTA awards ceremony in London.
Whishaw becomes the fourth actor to play Bond's quartermaster affectionately known as Q. The role began with Peter Burton as Major Boothroyd in Dr No, followed by Desmond Llewelyn in 17 Bond films between 1963 and 1999. After that, John Cleese appeared as Q's assistant R in The World is Not Enough before his promotion to Q in Die Another Day.

Sam Mendes' films of Henry plays and Richard II to include Jeremy Irons, Julie Walters, Michelle Dockery and John Hurt
It is more than 30 years since the BBC last screened a major cycle of Shakespeare's history plays. So it is little surprise that this summer's four new films from the corporation have attracted the cream of British acting and directing talent – from Jeremy Irons and Ben Whisaw to Simon Russell Beale and Sir Richard Eyre.
With the Oscar-winning director Sam Mendes as executive producer, the BBC will screen Richard II, Henry IV parts I and II, and Henry V, from late June on BBC2 as part of the Cultural Olympiad.
Mendes' partner at Neal Street Productions, Pippa Harris, said the combination of the Queen's diamond jubilee and the Olympics made 2012 the perfect opportunity to revisit the histories: "There are so many themes in these four plays which seem fitting...

We jumped at the chance to chat to Loki himself, Tom Hiddleston, ahead of the release of The Avengers. Here’s what he had to say...
Will nothing stop Tom Hiddleston’s geek-crush level from rising? After his striking, bright-eyed turns in a variety of films, from a cringe-inducing, well-meaning upper class chap in Archipelago, to F Scott Fitzgerald in Woody Allen’s Midnight In Paris, he’s only gone and done it again with his darker, more troubled reprisal of Loki in The Avengers.
And, as if that’s not enough, last week he wrote an article for The Guardian, praising contemporary superhero movies as ‘the pinnacle of cinema’, modern-day equivalents of mythology and morality tales. This actor, it seems, is quite the believer in the power of the comic book movie.

Actors, I criticise you because I care
Am I soft on actors? David Hare said so in our lively on-stage encounter during the recent Guardian Open Weekend. I've been asking myself ever since whether I do apply a double standard: am I more likely to be harsh on writers and directors than on performers?
I'd say that, historically, British critics are less abusive than their Us counterparts towards actors. No one I know has the obsession with physical appearances that led Us critic John Simon to say, a propos the nude scene in Abelard and Heloise, that "Diana Rigg is built like a brick mausoleum with insufficient flying buttresses", a line that Rigg sportingly included in an anthology of bad reviews. Even more brutally, Dorothy Parker once wrote: "Katharine Hepburn ran the gamut of emotion from A to B." And, after one American actor was told "Guido Natzo was natzo...

Jonah Hill has talked a lot during the press rounds for “Moneyball” that he believes the movie marks a new chapter in his career, a new step away from the comedy movies he became famous for. He won his first Oscar nomination for his very impressive performance in the baseball drama and clearly enjoyed his time collaborating with his new found friends. So much so that he is teaming with a few of them again on another fact-based drama…
Deadline reports that Hill will star as former New York Times journalist Michael Finkel in his own memoir “True Story”, a tale about his strange and unwanted relationship with murderer Christian Longo. In the rather crazy story, Congo was a FBI Top Ten listed wanted man for murdering his family but when he was arrested in Mexico he was living under the name of Michael Finkel, the very same name as the journalist.

After both nabbing Oscar nominations for Moneyball, the duo of Jonah Hill and Brad Pitt are wasting no time to re-team for another project. Deadline reports that Hill will star in the Pitt-produced True Story, which adapts journalist Michael Finkel‘s novel, following a tale of mistaken identity and an investigation into falsifying New York Times-published articles.
Hill will portray Finkel and he’ll also be joined by his co-star of Seth Rogen‘s upcoming directorial debut The Apocalypse, James Franco. This will be far from a comedy though, as the basic story follows Finkel, who learns that a FBI most-wanted criminal Christian Longo (played by Franco) gets captured and was taking his identity. When Finkel gets fired at the New York Times for reportedly falsifying articles his career seemed over, but Longo only wants to speak to Finkel and so begins a strange relationship. Check out the official synopsis below.

Kevin Spacey begins his run as the deranged titular king in "Richard III" tonight at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in New York. Directed by Sam Mendes, the play reunites the actor and director, who previously worked together on "American Beauty," a film that earned them both Academy Awards.
"Richard III" is the final production in The Bridge Project, a collaboration between Bam, The Old Vic and Neal Street theaters that launched in 2009 with Mendes' staging of "The Winter's Tale" and "The Cherry Orchard," and continued in 2010 with "As You Like It" and "The Tempest," also by Mendes.
"Richard III" completed its run at The Old Vic in 2011 and embarked on an international tour later that year, including stops in Hong Kong, Istanbul, Beijing, Sydney, Doha and San Francisco.

More Dickens and even more Shakespeare, but also new novels from Toni Morrison, Hilary Mantel, Zadie Smith, plus exciting new voices – 2012's literary highlights
January
10 Charles Dickens's The Mystery of Edwin Drood, starring Matthew Rhys and Tamzin Merchant, begins – and, unlike the book, ends – on BBC2.
13 Michael Morpurgo's much-loved children's novel War Horse, a long-running favourite at the National and on Broadway, gets the Hollywood treatment. A tearjerking saga about a young soldier and his horse – it was only a matter of time before it was Spielberged.
16 Ts Eliot prize. Despite withdrawals from the shortlist over objections to a hedge fund's sponsorship of the prize, the Eliot remains the UK's premier poetry award, and its eve-of-event reading is always a treat. This year's shortlist includes Daljit Nagra, Carol Ann Duffy and John Burnside.

London museum will show filmed versions of major productions, including Ben Whishaw's 2004 Hamlet and Hackney Empire's 2009 panto
Critics dubbed it one of the best Hamlets of all time – and now theatre lovers will have the opportunity to compare Ben Whishaw's teenage Dane to the recent high-profile princes of David Tennant, Michael Sheen and Rory Kinnear.
The Victoria & Albert museum will screen Trevor Nunn's 2004 production for the Old Vic, which provided Whishaw his first role after drama school, as part of a series to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the National Video Archive of Performance.
Whishaw, who is soon to star in Rupert Goold's television version of Richard II for the BBC, was labelled "the most raw and vulnerable Hamlet I have ever seen" by The Telegraph's theatre critic, Charles Spencer.

Q has become a very prominent character over the lengthy history of the James Bond franchise. He’s the dude who equips Bond with all of the latest spy gadgets, and most every Bond movie made has at least one scene where some actor portraying the tech wizard (guys like Desmond Lleweyn and John Cleese), gets to give Bond the rundown of all the latest and deadliest gizmos. But ever since Daniel Craig became the new Bond, things have changed. The Craig-starring Bonds have re-imagined the franchise to be something grittier and more reality-based. These days Bond is more likely to just cave in your face with his fists then he is to hit you with a taser hidden inside of a fountain pen. So in the last two Bond films, Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace, there hasn’t been a Q at all. Don’t fret fans of classic, cheesy...

No, there's not going to be a "Harry Potter" and "Batman" crossover. At least not yet, anyway.
However, two alums from those WB mega-franchises, Clemence Poesy and Michael Caine, have joined forces for the romantic drama, "Mr. Morgan's Last Love," according to The Playlist.
"Mr. Morgan" stars Caine (the unflappable Alfred from Christopher Nolan's "Dark Knight" films) as an American (not British?) widower whose chance encounter with a free-spirited and vibrantly naive young French woman (Poesy, who played the pride of Beauxbatons, Fleur Delacour) touches his heart and changes his life.
Yeah, it's another "old guy gets hot young girl and learns to live again" story, but it's not every day we get one that stars ... well, Alfred and Fleur.
Caine and Poesy have quite a supporting cast backing them up as well, which includes Gillian Anderson, Jane Alexander and Anne Alvaro. The film will be directed by Sandra Nettlebeck,...
