Yes I saw that. I joined the dots with some pics Jess Chastain posted on her Facebook but I don't remember the interview. Do you have a link?
>>601 No sorry, I tried to go and reread some of the printed interviews but I couldn't find it. Now I'm wondering if it was him. What I remember it was him, or someone else, saying that the spirit of their mother was haunting the house.
>>600 I saw those last night and thought, "oh what an adorable plastic Tom, and Mia, and - SON OF A $&#%@!" I've been ignoring almost every interview to avoid spoilers, but my weakness for cute little toys got me. Oh well, hope the movie's not ruined. I'll still see it anyway, of course. :)
Hank.

>>604 Someone said that it just looked like TH is a cowboy hat...ummm, yeah, that's how acting works.
>>604 First comment: I can't believe SPC is handling both this and Miles Ahead
https://twitter. com/cinemaxchat/status/631562152218914816
And here, for comparison.
>>606 Yeah, I saw that. I also saw: hopefully the hat won't overshadow his performance.
Boy is getting it in the neck:
1.Doesn't look like Hank
2. Doesn't look like Miles Davis
3. Hat Will Have Better Career
Hopefully, this is the start of the build-up: more pics, magazine articles, trailer.
Does anyone know the 'usual' timeline for these given the late Nov. release?
Strange that this is obviously meant to feature ISTL, but Miles Ahead gets a mention.
Only because they are in the same genre?
>>609 If the release is for an Oscar campaign they are late, according to those posts from CB I linked. If instead the film is out of the run, it's in the norm.
>>610 Miles Ahead and the Hat get a mention. Do not forget the Hat!
Ah, how sad it must be to have your craft reduced to "wears hat, the better to resemble Hank."
>>614 like resemblance is everything.

let's hope for a trailer
I'm posting the link to this little interview with TH about CP because he talks about a ghost experience when he was a child, but mainly, it allows me to correct something I wrote in the second thread where I said they recorded ISTL's soundtrack at Air Studios but it was at Abbey Road Studios, or Apple Studios like TH calls it - I confuse the two because they are both not far from his house.

Posting SPC tweet, since they finally remembered they are supposed to promote this film.

Very optimistic, PR, or written by a fangirl - can't decide.
>>619 Fangirl. I wish all the best to TH for ISTL, but this woman is basing her Oscar omens on: date of release, that is a biopic, the fact that he is singing - of all the things, his singing! - and his fanbase, like that helps with the AMPAS. She is also happily neglecting the mess with EO.
High Rise at TIFF
"So HIGH-RISE will receive its world premiere at Toronto International Film Festival."

Link to Variety article about HR
http://variety.com/2015/film/news/toronto-film-festival-platform-lineup-1201569157/
>>621 I'm happy about this, really, but I want a damn trailer. It's been a year, come on already.
>>623 yeah, I know, especially since we had HR already at 2 other festivals. But maybe, if this is the last festival news, they'll drop the trailer now.
Here's DMs write-up. A lot of his previous roles are brought up, and they re-hash date night and refer to EO as his 'current girlfriend.'
>>625 Promotion will be interesting indeed
Did EO had a nose job? I was just looking at the photo in the DMs article and it looked strange. We had someone here who had an eye for this stuff.
>>626 Supposedly, there was a blind item - yeah, I know, blind items are crap - about the sister of two famous child actors. The child actors got their sister hooked on coke, leading to the destruction of her nose and the need for some plastic surgery intervention. Most answers to the blind listed the Olsen twins as the child actors, and EO as the sister needing plastic surgery.
I don't know - her nose is different from her sisters' noses, but then that happens in families.
Does anyone find it odd that he's not tweeted or re-tweeted for HR or ISTL?
I mean, he'll tweet Seneca at the internet, but not re-tweet the SPC or TIFF announcements.
>>628 He didn't RT anything related to HR and festivals, so I didn't expect him to RT about ISTL, but of the two, since ISTL is the one where he is the lead that's the one he is supposed to promote more. So, yes, it's a bit odd.
>>627 I can't say either, but since the photos and videos of that night always make me laugh, I tried to focus on something else, and her nose all of a sudden stood out in its strange shape.
Take one of the thousands of candids with her former fiancé - because she hates the paps - it does look different.

I post it in case someone says TH is in Cairo. It seems more a job of getting additional shots of the city, from a fb page it's clear the main director isn't even there.
>>630 Yes the sunken bridge and upturned snout is very Daniella Westbrook, no?
And gotta love the Daily Fail's outstanding investigative journalism: "He also wears a suit and tie – no horned helmet or other intergalactic Loki garb here."
Oh god and celebitchy: "Tom Hiddleston wears a giant hat for the first look for ISTL: hot?"
I can't bear to link to it.
>>634 Someone in the comments section of that article is claiming to have insider knowledge that he's gay. Says her friend worked as a double on a movie with him.
It's funny how the gay rumors are actually circulating more after the EO appearance than they ever did with any of Tom's other lady friends, and even more than when he was just single and alone. I think because this one feels so heavily managed and PR driven.
>>632 yes, those were the two things that made think of it.
>>635 I agree. I think the idea TH might have used his personal life for PR, as well as the idea of him being a homewrecker, would a big let down, so if it's to cover he's gay then it's more acceptable.
I saw the gay comment. Wasn't made by a regular poster. It did have the ring of - half truth? I don't know. It is just an impression of course but to me it didn't sound like trolling. I have wondered sometimes if he might be bi.
>>638 I've wondered the same thing. Any time someone suggests bi in a discussion about his sexuality it immediately gets shot down by Team Straight and Team Gay, but I always think he might be.
Michael K always gets down to the heart of the matter. His first sentence is
simply hi-larious!
This is from the trivia section for ISTL on IMDB. I saw it posted on instagram:
During filming, Tom Hiddleston endeared himself to the cast and crew by serenading them at the piano between scenes. At wrap, each day, he graciously shook hands with everyone involved and thanked them for their work, from the janitor to his costars.
Can you:
TH, you charmer.
>>644 I read that story when it first showed up on tumblr, I think it was posted by a girl who said she was an extra. I wonder how true it is - I have a hard time believing anyone could be that nice, even Tom.
Side note, I lost a lot of faith in IMDB trivia when I discovered anyone with an email address can add to it, and there is no fact checking at all. There have been some downright false trivia items on there, and it takes a lot more effort to get wrong info removed than it does to put it up in the first place.

Awwww.
>>648 I think there's something funny going on with the shadows around his forearm. If you look closer, his wrist is bigger.
But he did lose a lot of weight for the role.
Get ready, Ladies...it's happening.

Torilla - have you found her yes Anon? - has these up on her weibo site.
>>645 "I have a hard time believing anyone could be that nice, even Tom."
Not to sound too jaded and skeptic (yes, I totally am) but do you mean, that thirsty for attention and approval? ;) Yeah, it's nice to be nice and all, and probably would be a charming experience to be on the receiving end of this (for the first time... if that story is true... on the second and consecutive days I would side-eye the hell out him), but when I'm reading it, just seems waaay over the top, even for TH.
He looks so unusual to me with brown contact lenses.
I love Michael K :)
That's pretty much all I have to contribute. Good Friday to all! :)
>>654 Yeah, his need for approval and attention is probably topping out at an 8/8.5 - and that's base line. I think we've all seen it spike to the 9/10 range - Asian Thor 2 promo tour, anyone? Any chat show he's ever been on, anyone? (Side note: still love the little muppet!)
I can imagine him semi-forcing people to listen to him play the piano. In my best Silence of the Lambs impression: It listens to Tom play the piano and finds him adorable or it gets the hose!
I'm going to marry Michael K - yes, I'm going to marry that gay man who lives on the opposite coast to me - deal wit it, haterz!
>>641 wow that was a forthright opening line! haha Not to speak of the rest.

I think he played the piano in a church while filming the Hollow Crown, once. So while I don't doubt he might have played guitar between one shot or the other, I also doubt he did it every day and that every day he would shoo hands with everyone, if not for the amount of time it would take.
maybe we should start making a list

>>659 Let's see, we have so far:
Elizabeth Olsen
Oxford Gas Station Blonde
Instagram Video Brunette
Tall Brunette on Sidewalk
National Theatre Blonde
Jane Arthy, still around according to some
Have I missed any?
>>661 I would add Sian, because she's an old classic.
>>661 Good list, Anonsy!
I'd add: It's his sister, it's totally his sister (said by every over invested tumblr fangirl)
I'd also add his cowboy boots, because his relationship with those boots has been his longest by several years. I think it's safe to say that he will never love any woman as well as he loves those boots.
I've made two lists and included all known and suspected partners I could remember.
Oldies But Goodies:
Gwen Christie
Susannah "Not His Wife" Fielding
Kat Dennings
Classic "Just a Friend" Sian
Jane "Nothing to Write Home About" Arthy
Current Harem:
Elizabeth Olsen
Oxford Gas Station Blonde
Instagram Video Brunette
Tall Brunette on Sidewalk
National Theatre Blonde
Totally His Sister (Looking Nothing Like His Sister)
Eternal Cowboy Boots
and his One True Love, William Shakespeare.
>>664 V neck tshirt guys! We can't send this to the DM if we are not thorough - The National Theatre blonde might be ELLEUK editor trying to secure and interview about another blonde.
Note that the National Theatre happened last week.
We have nothing for this week so far, but there's still the weekend.
>>664 Considering the recent resurface of gay/bi rumours, I'd totally add Luke to the Current Harem. Hell, I'd add him even without gay rumours, after all, all other partners come and go, and he's a constant lurking presence, much like those boots.
It's a real pity TH isn't part of the cast, and what cast.

You forgot Olly!!!
Olly, of course! Besides for his sister and JA, Olly has been the only other Wimbeldon worthy person in TH's life.
If only there was a way to combine his sister, JA, Olly, and his boots.
Mark Gatiss tweeted about seeing CP courtesy of TH.
Date night...and the list grows longer.
"Saw ‘Crimson Peak’ courtesy of @twhiddleston A gorgeously creepy & unhealthy gothic melodrama, oozing G del T’s fabulously foetid style. Go!"

So this week date night is with MG. No blonde.
>>672 'So this week date night is with MG. No blonde.'
We don't know what type of wig TH made him wear.
A sneak preview of CP isn't free.
>>673 haha but I'm very disappointed with the paps, like really, all this social life is happening and nothing. It's like they work only on EO's PR request ;)
>>674 I see what you did there, Couch. I see you, and I'm feeling you.

this was on the 12th.
Being on holiday makes me slow and forgetful.
The instagram video at the National's stage door with 3 friends/collegues/whatever is from the 7th and there's no blonde - unless the video was posted on the 7th but it's actually from the night before.
Then we have the tumblr girl that saw him at the National on the 6th with a blonde.
So either he went to the National two consecutive nights, which I find a bit odd, or assuming the tumblr sighting is real - and since the girl is a BC fan there's no reason for her to lie - he went alone, some blonde friend/collegue/whatever was sitting near him and then he left alone, after chatting with 3 friends/collegues/whatever.
The list needs an update and dates!
Kong: Skull Island Casting Call Reveals Movies Plot!
"Kong: Skull Island" takes place years after the original film. In 1933, American showman, Carl Denham returned from a mysterious, hidden island with a priceless treasure. A treasure not gold or jewels, but the island's barabric god, a monstrous anthropoid called "Kong." The savage giant escaped and wreaked havoc among the man-made canyons of Manhattan, but within hours of the giant apes death his body, and Carl Denham, disappeared. Many years later, the son of Carl Denham makes a shocking discovery that leads him back to the site of his father's greatest adventure and to the answers that will unlock the century's greatest mystery and history's greatest miracle."

thetown bycycle.tumblr.com/post/126699584337/thanks-anon-for-the-encounters
Greetings from the land of Torrilla! I am even more in awe of her given that Twitter, Tumblr and Google seem not to be working (blocked?). This site clearly too unimportant to attract the censor's attention...
My two pen'oth is that he probably went once, video was posted next day, and that the sighting with the blonde is genuine - insofar as that means anything. Without context it is hard to tell if being "with" someone is a correct assumption given that at the theatre half the people there are sitting next to a person they didn't go with. Maybe he struck up a conversation with a hot blonde he happened to be sitting next to, the dirty dog! And the stage door bods could be the people he actually went with, friends of Gatiss he met at the door or who knows what.
>>680 Nihao! I tend to agree, although someone at the bycycle says that he was seated with those stage door buddies, but I wouldn't rule out the ghost blondie, solely because one must have a blonde apparition by his side for gossip to work, as EO knows very well.
>>667 I think all of this could be fixed with a tracking device and a GoPro mounted on a harness. He needs to be tagged. The last known unicorn cannot be allowed to go unstudied in the wild. We must learn every facet of his strange and beautiful mating habits!

Sorry for the double post - actually don't know how I achieved this. TALENT.
>>676 This reminds me of a really crap tabloid headline. Man sits and eats - EXCLUSIVE.
>>678 Ugh. I want to give this film the benefit of the doubt, but this blurb makes it sound like shite.
So is it Kong Jr. - in both respects? Son of Kong and son of guy who found Kong meet on Skull Island? Both talk about how their fathers totally let them down.
Or is it Kong reborn? No Kong didn't die - he was just in a coma! And then Kong and Denham just retired to Skull Island...like it's part of Florida?
>>685 with a Loki cameo to do therapy about having lousy fathers.
Keep on making fun from Skull Island movie.
Better make fun of ISTL, the shittiest movie on earth.
>>685 In which period does Kong:Skull Island take place? Because I have a problem with the years: if Denham Sr. disappeared in 1933, how can his son Denham Jr in 2015 be as young as TH? The film must be happening in the '60s at the latest.
>>689 wasn't 1970s Detroit mentioned by one of the actors who dropped out, JK Simmons?
If the 1970s is correct...ouch.
So, Tom, we're going to have you play a 40+ year old man in this.
>>691 yes, he did! If they haven't changed the script, ouch.
Now, I heard it described (by TH I think) as a Kong "origin movie" - ie not the crapulous sounding sequel it appears to be. Ah well. He will certainly be able to play 40 with no probs (see Andy Gotts shoot). daddy Denham must have left a babe in arms for it to work even so.
>>693 Okay, am I the only one that loves some of those Gotts photos?
These are great (I just went on google image search). Yeah, he has the receding hairline of a white, British man in his 30s - I swear they all start loosing their hair and looking old at about 22.
But he looks soulful, which isn't his usual photoshoot look.

No I love them! But he looks older than his chronological age in them I think.
>>694 I like them, but not the second one, mainly for the filters Gott used.
>>695 Glad I'm not the only one.
'But he looks older than his chronological age in them I think.' Yep, on this. That's the lot of many British men - that pale skin is no defense against the sun.
There is more than a hint of redhead in his natural colouring I think - pale skin and freckles. You can really see it on the Coriolanus poster. If he were more blonde I think he would tan better - most blondes I know get a lovely even golden tan but without the freckly undertone.
