(this is a bit OT but I found it mentioned at CB and it's a photo of EO walking, on her left is TH but on her right she is arm in arm with Abraham, the instagram poster confirms it in the comments. https://instagram.com/p/7vJcHdHVrJ/
so, in the end I think that EO and TH being just friend was really true.)
>>500 He says he is "working on" - this one I think has been in the pipeline for a loooong time. Not sure TH has ever even mentioned it. I think I mean even JI may not be immune to voicing celebrity casting aspirations.
>>502 Actually I thought the project was dead so I was a bit surprised he mentioned it again.
>>503 I'd heard that. Perhaps it is hard at his age to admit he is basically retired.
>>501 Don't tell the bicycle. After a comment on here from anonsy I took a look last night and she is in terminal meltdown, screaming and calling everyone nannies for believing EO! Her reaction when TH also confirmed it was hilarious. Her latest theory is it's an elaborate cover up and that a cumberbaby equivalent cannot be far away.
>>505 lol a sore loser.

well, Torrilla has all of them and it was boring.
>>510 Too right they were. I felt like asking why is the latest "teaser" revelatory of the minuscule amount of plot previously remaining secret?
BTW I think we may have had a visit or two from some of the celebitches. They were talking rather defensively today about how much they love sitting on their verandah. Strange coincidence, huh?
>>495 I fear that with one of his idols so close (RDN), TH may be in danger of letting his nerves get the best of him.
I just don't want him to do something titish! And, God, please, no dancing. No dancing, and no singing.
Just low key class and brief, intelligent answers with touches of humor.
>>512 Don't think so, in one of the numerous TH's threads of this week a few people posted against that so it's probably about those posters. Tbh, I think it's very rude to do so, it's one thing to write elsewhere why you don't like CB anymore, one another to go there.
>>513 I hope not mainly because it would look old? But I don't know this show, is it humorous like the Chatty Man? Because I guess that the host might comment on him dancing in High Rise and asking him to perform, and then what can he do?
Crimson Peak Interview - Tom Hiddleston

Tom Hiddleston talks Loki in the Marvel movies and King Kong: Skull Island!
http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/news/614493-exclusive-tom-hiddleston-talks-the-future-of-loki-and-king-kong#/slide/1
>>515 Graham Norton is fun and anarchic (though unlike Chatty Man he does not completely set my teeth on edge). I would say dancing is likely.
>>514 I would never go on CB and tell those particular posters what I think. As I think qaz said on a previous thread, everyone comes to the fandom in their own way. On the other hand, it swamps every thread because it is brought up as a response to every comment seemingly. It seems reasonable enough to point that out and say "a bit less please." As I write this I marvel at my naivety expecting people on the Internet to behave in a moderate way!!
>>517 if Norton is like that, it's a good thing we don't have a HR trailer yet, imagine all the gifs on tumblr about his sex scenes and if he were asked about them.
>>495 Oh, finally, I like this show a lot, the host is great (in my opinion), he somehow manages to make his guests relaxed and entertaining, and I was wondering mildly why TH was never on it. I've even seen some musings from other people that maybe GN didn't like him personally, or smth. But probably just because the projects where he was in the lead weren't considered big enough, and huge franchises, like Marvel movies, had other bigger names in them who were invited to promote on the GN.
I do hope that they will not make him dance or do other silly stuff.
>>515 I watched the very first GN shows when I was living in London. Mostly, he made fun of the audience, asking them to share stories and pics. I think he still does. I like the show.
However, some of the stuff he does with stars can be cringe-tastic. I remember him sharing fan fiction stories with D Radcliffe. I think he read the summaries of some of the crazier ones. He also likes to share fan art like Chatty Man did.
I - even if it does seem old and stuffy - don't want TH to have to confront fan fiction summaries. Or anymore fan art.
There are other ways to be funny and entertaining.
>>520 I hope so and it's not really about being old and stuffy, simply it'd be a pity for his upcoming films to be reduced to sex scenes and what his fans do on tumblr.
>>520 Oh yeah, he likes to do that. That's the only thing about the show that I have a slight beef with. Well, the most of TH-related fanfiction probably involves Loki, and he's promoting entirely different movies now (I guess apart from multiple gifs there's not so many fanfics or fanart of those already?), so let's hope GN won't bring it up. Although with him you never know.
>>521 Please, God, do NOT let GN bring up his tag. Hopefully, Luke will put the kibosh on that sort of thing. Time to disassociate himself with Tumblr.
Speaking of the publicist that must not be named. This is from a TIFF best and worst list. It came under the 'weird' category.
'Even Tom Hiddleston’s unflappable personal publicist, Luke Windsor, has his own rabid fan following, including Tumblr tribute sites and hashtags. Celebrity has come to this.'
I don't even want to know what this woman witnessed that led her to this knowledge.
>>524 Not long after I became interested in TH and was reading various and lots of stuff on Tumblr, I've seen a couple of blogs dedicated to LW. Some fans were saying that they even tried to get his autograph (SMH). He declined, though, so I give him props for that.
>>524 I wonder if he has fans because it's a sneaky way to get closer to TH, or people are just too stupid to know better. But of course fans started a fan account on fb I think for TH's security person/driver.
The Graham Norton show has changed a lot since the very early days - you still get the odd silly skit, and the odd embarassing website about one of the celeb guests, but not so much anymore, and generally on people's 2nd or 3rd appearance when they're running out of good stories.
I'm pretty sure with De Niro and Branagh on the couch they'll have more than enough to talk about. I expect some impressions will be trotted out, but dancing seems relatively unlikely - especially as he'll be promoting Crimson Peak.
If anything I feel as GN has become more of a celebrity in his own right, he talks too much. So less time for shenanigans of any kind. I am surprised they put 3 big hitters together on one show. Maybe they too want to see TH struck dumb with admiration!
And now back to JA (kind of). She is a piece of work, that one. Meanwhile the nw3 has just gone silent - hasn't shut down or deleted, just stopped posting. Weird. I'd have thought she wouldn't be able to keep quiet the last week.
>>530 I can't remember if we discussed this or not, but there was a Twitter user, vinividi with some numbers at the end, who was tweeting screenshots of nw3's blog posts to Luke Windsor and Tom. Nw3 said it didn't bother her but stopped posting shortly after vinividi started, so I assumed it at least scared her a little and maybe made her take a break from the blog. Also around the same time a couple of names got thrown out on Town Bike of who nw3 anon could be, and maybe nw3 quit posting because one of them was right.
>>531 I don't recall we did. The cessation was quite recent before TIFF as far as I can see. After the drama of shutdown 1 it is odd she has just stopped without deleting anything. Also this time around she was much more careful, not posting any actual gossip, just as far as I could see mutual abuse between fans!

Tom Hiddleston and Josie Rourke create Coriolanus audio commentary
https://www.thestage.co.uk/news/2015/tom-hiddleston-josie-rourke-create-coriolanus-audio-commentary/
>>533 No no I meant that the link showed that the bicycle can't let her JA conspiracy theories alone! Not you!
And that the bicycle was a piece of work.
Her aunt?!!! Curiouser and curiouser. I always thought that her profile was more akin to some of the CB commenters, a middle aged woman. with probably an admin job at a theatre that allowed her to say with some truth she was in that world. If she is worried about her aunt telling her off then she is more likely to be a 19 year old Tumblr girl like all the rest.
I have to say that I howled with laughter at the other anon comments! "If you're just here to get more compliments from your ass-kissing followers..."
I'm not sure why this is considered unusual - actors don't normally have any contact with the people doing the music on their movies, so he may not have ever met the guy before. With so many of his friends and castmates there it would have been weird if he had been getting pally with Clint Marshall.
>>539 TH and Mansell know each other and follow each other on twitter, Mansell's agent is JA and Mansell was RT things related to TH before BoraBora. That's what the bycycle's poster was hinting at.
I find so unusual that the SanSebastianFF would release to the public the time TH and the rest will arrive at their hotel today. Is the check-in part of the festival?
Yes, I'm quite a regular London theatre-goer and I have to say she hardly ever posted anything about theatre itself, or that made me think she was in theatre circles and knew what she was talking about. Her general commenting audience didn't seem to know very much about London theatre, so her vague statements were accepted at face vlaue.
She claimed not to know who Tom was before 2011, when he was quietly generating buzz within the theatre world long before that. It's quite a small community, so people tend to know each other - that seeemd odd. But then her whole attitude towards Tom is strange - she's not a fan of him, yet runs a blog off the back of his fame, which mainly talks to and about his fans. I can believe the 'not a fan' bit becausse she rarely displayed any interest in his actual work, she seemed more interested in stirring up drama and petty arguments among fans.
So we assume he knows the guy, at least slightly. They might just be acquaintances, though - following someone on Twitter does not mean much, Tom follows a lot of people he works with on Twitter and some random people he doesn't know (like most of us do).
My theory is that he uses Twitter to DM some people rather than give out his phone number, which until recently meant you had to be following each other.
Even if they're really good friends, not being incredibly pally with him when he's actually working is not exactly strange. Co-stars are expected to publicly interact with each other at these events, and to some extent are performing for the cameras when they do so. Or he even could have had a long and enthusiastic conversation with him before the event that just didn't get photographed.
People really do over-interpret photographs and Twittervto fit their conspiracy theories.
>>544 For example the makeup lady on ISTL - I guess on the basis that if they are in the industry they won't be too mad. Even if he doesn't as far as we know interact with them again he doesn't tend to unfollow. Again not surprising as once you have a big list of stuff you're following going through and deleting is a hassle. I agree - I don't read anything into him having followed CM.
Following and unfollowing JA within a few hours of the Wimbledon debacle - rather different!
>>543 My secret shame is that I had no idea who he was up to and including watching him in Coriolanus, despite going to the theatre a lot. I realised later that I had seen him in Ivanov and Othello - but hadn't watched Thor/Avengers etc as it wasn't my thing, and didn't bother with the Hollow Crown because I had fairly recently seen an amazing production at the RSC and I thought the telly version would just bug me. So I never really realised he had gone onto bigger things especially as he had been out of the theatre world for a long time since Ivanov. Then a friend said she had front row tickets for Coriolanus and I said "oh ok sounds nice. Who's that bloke?" She said later she thought I sounded most ungrateful!
Well, since it's always better to see for yourself, here's the High Rise q&a video that somehow I didn't post. Mansell is the one in green.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8W1BkIwyHk
Mansell is just in the intro in this video, he wasn't actually there for the q&a, although there is an extra chair. If the bycycle poster was basing their post on just this, meh.

Happy Sunday indeed. Man too beautiful. Cheekbones too sharp. Even ear sexy someway is.
Sorry, have lost use of verbs.

http://ww4.sinaimg.cn/large/6e14d388gw1ew9bpqeqvzj20u011idhn.jpg
>>548 It's not just meh! It could be JA masquerading as CM.
Think about it! TH knows professional make-up artists. What better way to hide his secret wife than by having her changed into CM with the use of prosthetics.
Sure they would have to removed and replied for every day of TIFF - time consuming.
Or, they would have to be left on for the whole week - very awkward sex.
But that's totally what's happening. Open your eyes, people.
PS - My captcha was 'blourish.' What the hell kind of captcha is that?!?
>>551 Torrilla will come through for us. All we need to do is be patient.
>>553 She already did, it's the link I posted ;)
>>554 Does that girl not sleep? Or eat? To our benefit, of course, but geez.

This gif is from the VF interview. The moment comes right after he's confirmed that he sings all the songs himself.
He's such a proud little bubby.
So, neither ISTL in Special Presentation nor High Rise in Platform won at TIFF. Hardly surprising, especially for the first.
http://tiff.net/festivals/festival15/awards
Where are our check in photos though? TH with his washbag and Luke trying to score an upgrade. "Tom I know I am only your agent, and I know I look 12, but can I please have a room with a double bed this time? Please?"
>>551 have they airbrushed his laughter lines and forehead?
>>560 If you look at some of the other photos on his IG, I think it's safe to say that there is some photoshopping. Very rarely is there no tinkering at all with photos. But his is minimal.
Article from the Calgary Herald about ISTL
http://calgaryherald.com/entertainment/movies/i-saw-the-light-looks-at-the-grey-areas-of-hank-williams-life
An interesting quote from Marc Abraham about the TH/EO tabloid gossip stories:
"I teased Tom one day when someone was writing about it. I said ‘Dude, I would pay people to write that I was having an affair with Elizabeth Olsen’ He said ‘Yeah, but you ain’t me.’ But I was just trying to keep him light so he didn’t worry about it.”
Doesn't sound like Tom was too happy.
>>563 that TH wasn't too happy was clear at PPG, but I wonder, the first article about them was in May, so they talked about it at TIFF?
>>564 Either that or Tom called Marc Abraham and said "Hey man, stop calling in phony stories about my love life to Us Magazine."
>>566 Paparazzi Purse Gate? Purseface Paparazzi Gate? Something like that, I think.
>>566 sorry Anon, it's PGG maybe? haha
>>567 duh.
Both articles and the real crazy pap stuff has happened before TIFF so it doesn't surprise me if they talked. I can't imagine he spoke to Abrahams earlier.
Yeah it's the initial "one day when someone was writing about it" that I don't get. One day? This interview was probably given at TIFF or soon after that, Abraham wording makes it sound like this happened while they were filming.
I think he meant just general one day which could be either May article or July catastrophe.
In lack of photos from Spain...

Kong: Skull Island,” the state’s biggest feature film project for 2015, will start filming on Oahu in mid-October and stay on location through the end of the year, according to Hawaii Film Commissioner Donne Dawson.
http://www.honolulupulse.com/2015/09/outtakes-kong-set-for-extended-oahu-stay/
There'll be an early premiere of Crimson Peak in paris on Sept. 28, GdT, TH, MW will attend.

"I play a former soldier who is contracted to go to Skull Island for a particular reason, but I am no longer officially a military officer. He’s the protagonist, so I’m not playing the villain, and I’m not playing the antihero. You see the story through his eyes, which is nice."

Can anyone help me how to download the Coriolanus commentary? Supposedly on iTunes but not showing up on any search!
>>593 You have to download it through National Theatre's app, but from what I can tell on Twitter a lot of people are having trouble. I haven't tried it yet.
https://twitter. com/DonmarWarehouse/status/646965099996028928
>>593 I just downloaded the app, tried to purchase the program, and it's giving me a message that says "no purchase options available." Not sure if it's something to do with my location, but I can't get it. :(
I haven't downloaded or purchased, but apparently, you must have at least iOS 8 to download the app. Also, if you've previously downloaded the NT app, you may need to update that app before the Corio. purchase will show/download.
I've also heard that downloading on an iPad is more straightforward than a phone.
People in the UK and US have mentioned it on twitter, so I would think that it's available on both sides of the pond - and likely in all other countries.
Technology - eh.

Tom Hiddleston Talks ‘High Rise’, ‘I Saw the Light’, and Future Projects at TIFF 2015

I was one of the people complaining on Twitter about this! Yes, you need ios 8, I couldn't find a way to get hold of it without it. I was hoping that someone would manage to rip the commentary and make it available online, I can't find anyone who has done so yet. It's very frustrating because all the press made it sound like you just needed iTunes.
>>598 not to mention that considering the amount of people that have android based smartphones, making it available only for iphones is very stupid.
