The girl is going to the US.

I think Mr Barbera is the director of the Venice Film Festival.
I forgot to add yesterday that what I wrote here >>237 only stands if the couple or PR speculations are true.
Oh looks like Skull Island is happening... they had to kick off in August, right? Can't wait!
Such a good news about BFI and High Rise! I nearly lost hope to.see it. That means we will see Tom presented?
>>254 depends which source you consider. According to a site we posted in the other thread, Kong is supposed to start in Sept. in LA/Hawaii. According to the latest article about Kong and the new casting the script isn't ready and it won't start until the end of the year/early next year. Still, one can do a renewal of his working visa ahead of time I think.
Oh ok, I lost the track for the info. He will need a working visA, especially if he will work there for Skull Island and Marvel stuff... I still think it's his working hours coming closer.
I wonder if he will fall out from Skull Island. When is Marvel movie happening?
>>255 I think you're correct. If he's getting his visa that means filming dates have probably been set, as I believe you need to provide travel dates when applying for a work visa, so that would be good news for the production.
>>258 I wondered about that too, but I'm not a working visa expert for the US. For example, when he was in SDCC he was working, did he have a specific visa for that occasion or is there a, I don't know, year long visa that you merely need to renew, so specific dates won't be needed?
Ok.I asked the person who knows stuff a out working visas in US, and she said when you have no more then three days of working you can go by tourist visa, but if it's longer, you need to apply far before hand. And they are incredibly hard to get and it doesn't matter are you a general mortal or Tom. So it makes sense if he is applying now.
I just looked through some government websites and it seems like what Tom did for SDCC would count as a "business trip" and would therefore be exempt from visa requirements (citizens of certain countries including UK are exempt for that sort of travel), but filming a movie would require a work visa.
Anonsy, yes you are right, that's what I was told. Everything that is more then a week, goes for working visA. Plus this, it's necessary for an employee to sent you an invitation, so you DO need to provide a exact date of travel and working days.
I'm so careless, I didn't post the translation of this >>252
It says that "CP is beautiful but that Legendary doesn't want to send it to any festival."
>>252 So my italian is fully based on my latin, but that tweet seems to suggest that CZ will not show at Venice.
Hollywood Elsewhere published an article about Tom and ISTL. The article is strange and the author says "EO and TH have been in relationship since shooting",which I found rather nasty, because even after the fiasco nearly a week ago no one confirmed anything. I wish people stop assuming that they are dating.
The article is rather venomous about the film btw. You can see it lipstick alley site, that thread 4, post #390, page 26.
I think we dismissed that article when it was linked. However, someone over at LSA says that the author used to write for People, EW, and the LA Times, and that he has very good sources.
I think this tea kettle has been boiling since they filmed.
So juicy.
>>269 I know I dismissed because it was mostly a rehashing of tweets that we had already seen. It was also written after the paparazzi pics and both Us Weekly articles, so "in a relationship since shooting" was already commonly believed and reported on the internet.
>>269 I'll agree with 'commonly believed' on the internet, but has it been 'reported' on the internet?
That's certainly not the story they're putting out, is it - together since filming? That story seems to be:
what did I say when she didn't delete her blog?
http://nw3anon.tumblr.com/
>>272 I missed NW3 the first time around, so it will be interesting to see her in action.
I am surprised she has managed to stay away this long.
>>272 Take what she says with a severe pinch of salt. Look at the posts on the last thread....
Oh no not that liar again... and I thought she decided to stop. And yes, you are right, you have to take everything she says with a large pinch of salt, she likes to change her answers and delete those that can easily show she is lying. I was following her log for a long time and I remeber what she was doing.
About the VISA - yes, I'm so bored that the VISA thing is the most interesting thing I can post, mainly because I hope he'll drop out of this film - a couple of posters at CB wrote this:
"a US work visa, an O/1 you need to go for an interview at the US embassy. They're initially issued for 3 yrs then need to be renewed annually."
"He probably had the P-2 like Dan Radcliffe, project-to-project, and is getting it bumped up,"
Which makes me think that the new VISA or a renewal of an existing one isn't necessarily linked to Kong filming.
According to the latest news, Russel Crowe joined the Skull Island, as well as the lady, Brie something. Tom really wants that project so he won't drop out.
And he renewed his visa for Skull Island I'm sure. And he'd better dropped out from ISTL when he had a chance. Skull Island is nothing bad btw.
As far as his choices go, I think he's ticking off some boxes at this point in his career, perhaps trying to show his range and find his "best" type of role. I know he says that he follows his gut/heart when selecting roles; well, he's got a brain, I'm sure he follows that too.
He did the comic book blockbuster (Marvel), he did the dark indie thing (OLLA), his did the romantic/artsy movie (DBS / Capa which never happened), he did horror - although romantic and gothic - with CP.
ISTL is his Oscar bait bio film - and >>279 It will be fine, despite whatever is happening in his private life.
TNM is his TV action man/ spy project; I'm sure he's hoping that it will maybe get him on some Bond shortlists. It might.
Kong is his action man/ blockbuster role. >>278 I'll agree that it is looking stinkerish (it's never good when scripts are being re-written and filming schedules pushed back). However, I don't think he'll drop out - unless it conflicts with Marvel next year - as it's a tick in a box.
Nothing is going on in his private life. He and EO are just friends.
And I can bet that ISTL will be a failure, or at least not that good movie to be noticed. I'm certain that this choice was a mistake for him, he overdid it.
>>280 Don't forget military man in War Horse. :-) Definitely checking off the boxes.
>>272 That woman was caught in so many lies, I wouldn't believe anything she says. I don't look at the tumblr blogs anymore, I couldn't handle the drama lol. If anything interesting or important happens over there, I figure someone here will fill me in.
>>280 yes, that's really what bothers me with Kong, the fact that the script has been rewritten many times, that clearly director and production don't go along, the change in location, many bad signs. I'd like TH to go on with his good film streak (even in The Deep Blue Sea wasn't exceptional). About ISTL I read that they tweeted this week that they were editing or doing some post-production work. Maybe after the test screenings they decided to make some changes? And HR hasn't a trailer out yet, worried about that one too!
>>283 Maybe we're all sniffing around the wrong trash can!
We're all EO, paps and gossip when we should be worried that some of his upcoming films seem to be a little undercooked?
>>284 That's the REAL reason for all of the sudden love life gossip - to distract us from how his future projects aren't looking too good.
I have such high hopes of HR - great novel, director and cast.
I've had a bad feeling about ISTL for a while. I loved Walk the Line but I do feel ISTL will struggle to live up to that, not least in its lightness of touch. ISTL sounds so flipping earnest and trying so hard to be profound and moving (and to win things...). The hallmarks of a well-meaning flop I fear. I just love going to the cinema and being pleasantly surprised, like wow, that little low budget labour of love and it was amazing. They have killed that feeling right out of the gate with all the advance publicity. Now if it isn't amazing we'll feel cheated. It makes it look like it was a project created to get an Oscar nomination. I'm sure it wasn't but that's how it feels, to me anyway.
>>286 I hope ISTL works, I really do. With everything he seemed to put into it, I think his itty, bitty heart will break if it's not received well. I don't even think he'd be happy with his performance being praised, he wants the whole movie to be.
I honestly don't care much about I Saw the Light - it just doesn't interest me. Perhaps I'll rent it eventually, only because I enjoy Tom's work. I've been excited for Crimson Peak for a long while though, and I am looking forward to High Rise as well.
>>288 Same here. Only I probably will not even rent it, it's just so not my cup of tea - unless it gets really glowing reviews, maybe then it'll pique my curiosity.
Same as I still haven't seen War Horse - I don't like movies about wars and don't like movies about animals, so Tom or no Tom, Spielberg or no Spielberg, there's no chance I'm seeing something called War Horse, lol.
Or his early indies.
>>287 Oh god I am sure he will be heartbroken if it bombs. Can't see the new relationship lasting if the reviews are bad either - it's one thing to fall in passionate star-crossed lurve on the amazeballs project of a lifetime. Quite another to shag someone else's bird while polishing a well meaning turd. He could soon be living in a hell of his own devising. I do really hope not but, held back by the script - oh noes....
>>288 yeah I don't care much about ISTL either, I said so from the start, but I still hope for him that it will at least be a good film; though I agree that this initial burst of publicity, intentional or fortuitous, doesn't make you want to support it one bit. I'm happy that the Venice Film Festival director said that CP is beautiful and sounded very disappointed they couldn't have it at the festival, at least one film I'm sure it's good.
>>291 Nor me if I'm honest. Nor seemingly a lot of TH fans. and HW has a lot of crazy fans seemingly who are not necessarily well disposed towards it or him. Another reason for my ominous feelings about it. I do hope I am wrong.
A girl on twitter posted an image of an article on Star Magazine talking about TH and EO. I couldn't find the tweet with the image, but I read that this magazine is rag of rags, so yeah for TH, for a guy who talked big about reputation, decency, truthfulness and so on, he is achieving some great results here, maybe that's why he looked so utterly annoyed in the taxi. Somewhere Laurence Fox is having a laugh.
found an image, courtesy of the bycycle site. the only reason this sites are useful: links.

Star Magazine is one tiny rung up from the tabs with alien and Elvis stories. Poor guy.
Now I feel he should get an Oscar just for the pap fiasco and having to appear in Star.
This has been handled so badly.
Jesus take the wheel.
"Tom's not the sort to go for someone else's girl, so he waited until he heard her relationship was over." That's some nice damage control there. I couldn't be rolling my eyes any harder.
>>295 that's what I'm starting to wonder about, is it realistic for TH's PR to handle it so badly? It seemed to me that after the circus bear label in 2013 he tried to highlight that he was also serious about his job and not a clown. Will he really plan to throw that away to get this?
"The he called her that very day"
Goodness
>>298 I mean really though. Who calls someone up the day they get out of a three year long relationship? And the whole write up is so cheesy and sappy, like they're trying to make it sound like a Nicholas Sparks novel. Ugh.
(No offense intended to anyone who reads Sparks - I just always think of him when I hear about gooey romance)
>>296 Classy save there. Also, "they spend every second together". Since December, even if we believe every nw3 rumour going, they have spent what? 2 weeks together in total?
I mean I have had pairs of tights I have had a more longstanding relationship with...
>>302 How reliable even are these "sources" anyway? Like will Star publish quotes that are completely made up or do they actually have to come from somewhere? Could I call them up right now claiming to be a source and get information published?
>>299 Possibly someone who was already screwing the person who just got out of a 3 year relationship? Just a thought.
>>305 Yeah. No matter what they do this still looks bad. But I guess people will still believe what they read? Maybe people who haven't been following either of their careers too closely.
>>304 Who knows but I guess the point is the story is out there now and even if the sources are fake everyone is all over the one interesting angle - the possible overlap. Thy have lost control of the story. I understand this is the opposite of what PR wants to achieve.
>>306 I am not so sure. I think if I read sparks flew on set and he called the day after her engagement ended I'd think "yeah right". It's a story as old as the film industry.
Time for TH to start telling us all about Hamlet and Gertrude screwing Polonius before Old Hamlet was cold.
There's only one version of events where this silence makes sense, where it makes sense to not respond and wait for an official occasion, like a festival, to address this. But it's the version that at the moment sounds even less likely than the rest, to become more credible, to be considered true, it needs time to pass without any sighting of them together in any form.
>>308 exactly, especially to the general public, who is the majority.
>>310 and really time needed to pass between January and now without any mention of anything to make their version credible. Which it didn't cos of the U.S. weekly "hooking up" story.
>>312 Which again just adds to the long, long list of reasons none of this makes any sense.
>>312 oh that, I don't think that was intentional since he was away filming haha. The version I'm thinking about is that they are just friends, this is the less likely right now. If they are a couple, passing of time now makes it worse, because it allows rags like star to make up stories that only do damage.
>>314 Either they are just friends, or they need to fire their PR. Maybe fire the PR regardless, lol.
"a close pal of the Avengers star 34"
I haven't noticed the age this morning, I thought they were talking of a source near EO, instead the "close pal" is TH's
Close pals: his sisters, Cumberbatch, Olly,Luke...........Hemsworth? lol
What a ridiculous article.
Celebitchy is stalking us!! We have better quality comment though...
http://www.celebitchy.com/440054/tom_hiddlestons_not_a_homewrecker_he_waited_until_elizabeth_olsen_was_single/
Article: TH is NOT a homewrecker.
Read: TH is TOTALLY a homewreaker.
Oh, lordy. I came for the gossip, but I'm going to stay for the PR train wreck.
I genuinely don't know what is going on - can't even guess. And I don't know how it's going to end. But the PR mis-steps along the way are going to FEED me!
Seatbelt fastened! Let's go.
>>319 Yeah, the PR was just kind of pathetic before, but at least now it's so awful it's funny.
Hot Mess of an article.
Full House sister - hahahah!
Good buddy Boyd? Are TH and BH BFFs?
And they have THE video embedded.
But it is on a site about classical music, so way to stay classy TH.
"An additional informant tells the magazine, Olsen was seen hanging out with Hiddleston in England last week both strolling the streets of Oxford arm-in-arm and going to see Bradley Cooper play The Elephant Man in London together:"
What gets me is how the Oxford thing is being spread around like Chinese whispers after the Daily Fail got the story muddled up.
Ah well.. ask for publicity and you shall get it.
>>321 Just when I thought the story couldn't possibly get any more convoluted! Goodness me.
Like, you know as soon as she broke off the engagement she called TH and said "Hey we can f**k now" No more just stolen kisses and making out!" goodness.
Every time I see the bit with EO trying to start a relationship with the gate by watching it through her scarf, and then asking where her guardian, I mean TH, is, I realise how farcical this pap hoopla was. Splash video is even better for that.
I think we should be glad nobody linked Oxford with his father or we will have articles about a possible wedding.
>>321 Ahahahaha. As if it was not messy enough, they managed to incorporate Chris Evans as the FOURTH party of this lurve story, lol.
Lol and nobody even thinks that they even haven't been in Oxford, and the photo was taken EnGland's lane
>>325 lol
it's a train wreck, I feel sorry for Luke.
Bit of a long post but I've just read at CB someone pointing out that you can tell that this was a set-up because there was no follow up by paps.
Anything is possible of course, but I tend to disagree.
When EO was in London in April to promote AoU, she was papped at the airport, at her hotel, at a famous restaurant. But when she went to London after Paris fashion week in July, paps didn't even bother with her. In the week before the pap-hoopla we know she was out having dinner with other famous actors and no paps.
Then we have TH, that unless he goes to events where paps are around anyway, he's never followed around by paps in London.
So, while I think that the restaurant was EO's choice, since she has a habit of having dinner in famous spots, I also think that they felt they would pass by unnoticed, even with the DM article. After all, they reached the theatre and no paps, they left the theatre and no paps, they walked to the restaurant and no paps, they arrived at the restaurant and no paps. It's unclear whether paps were waiting for them outside the restaurant or they showed up once they left, but as a set-up seems badly managed.
As for the lack of follow up by paps, they might have done it the day after, but if TH was holed-up in his house and EO was holed-up in her hotel, that a waste of time and money for paps.
Actually, do we know that EO is still in London?
I don't think she is in London.
In fact, I'm sure it was a friends meeting each other before she left. She was in London when Tom was there too, before he went to SDCC and they hadn't met each other other wise we would've known. Maybe they just met in cafe to chat and decided to go to theatre, and then to have a dinner. I'm pretty sure she was the one who chose that restaurant and I'm also sure that the paps were arranged by her or her team. As well as all other articles. That's why Tom was that angry.
In general I believe nit heir friendship but she isn't his type at all. He likes low key life and live like ordinary human being, when she is dying for publicity.
>>328 Theatre going is a pap-free activity in London because too many theatres for them to stake out and even if people tweet you're there, loads of exits and a big crowd leaving together, so hard to get your target.
Pap-friendly restaurants don't have crowds of paps waiting to take your pic when you go in - they get them when you come out (target usually drunk and it's dark so a more dramatic picture). It's always x leaving the Chiltern Firehouse. Also of course you have to hang around on spec to catch someone going in; you may get a tip-off while they are there so you can more easily catch them going out.
Apparently there were tweets that they were there - I haven't seen anyone link to them but if there were, paps descend therefore probably not a set-up. But it can hardly have been a surprise.
Maybe our friendly neighbourhood stalker nw3anon will tell us if EO is still in town, now she is showing signs of life again.
>>330 I have only seen tweets about them being at the theatre, not the restaurant, but like you say someone at the restaurant might have tipped the paps off.
>>331 I doubt it, she is already claiming she knows nothing of what is going on, and that there are no paps in the area.
>333 Simultaneously with saying that she has seen them around together!
there's also the fact that UK media is hardly covering this story, but it's being covered by US media. I wonder if Luke had a call with the UK ones telling them something.
>>334 but that is like saying EO wears flip-flops :)
really, it's hard to see how this might be TH's PR, none of this helps his image or the promotion of ISTL.
The story of the damsel in distress, confused by 2 guys fighting for her love, allows EO to get away with her image clean, but the other guy always takes the blame.
Imagine TH at a talk show while promoting ISTL, the host asks "so you said ISTL is mainly a story about a bad marriage, you know something about homewrecking don't you?" It's a debacle for him.
>>336 That's my point exactly! She says I know naaahthing simultaneously with dropping baity info which is (a) unverifiable or (b) can be ascertained from photos (he looks so tanned and amazing!) or (c) unverifiable but probable. Which is exactly what she has always done.
Star made up the story about EO and Renner though. I highly doubt this story was fed by one of their PR.
I don't think this is Luke because although he is good at getting TH on the red carpet or working with UNICEF, he is shit at reacting to stories he didn't create (JA) and advises TH badly about reacting to stories. Seemingly nobody has told TH to say in interviews "sorry I'd prefer not to discuss that", leading to the boring but familiar "X made clear early in our interview that his love life was off limits in our conversation." I also don't think UK publicists generally deal proactively with love life complications - the impression I get is that the U.S. publicists leak like sieves to People etc to try and get their side out there before the papers get it.
The only one who benefits from that story is Olsen. It's her set up and her PR, Tom has nothing to do with it. Of course he was angry with her, especially when she followed him in his cab.
>>340 yes when I talk of nw3anon I am always being sarcastic. I posted on the last thread how she falsely said TH windows were not visible from the road. They are, so info about him being in residence may be no more than seeing his lights on, not seeing him or having the inside line as she insinuates.
I need a name other than Anon I think!
>>343 How one can but be sarcastic about that blog? :)
>>341 Luke only did it once, or maybe it was Public Eye since they were both with PE at the time. When TH confirmed in a DM article that he broke up with SF, the day after SF went public with her current bf Oliver Chris at the All New People after party.
I wrote "he broke off" but it should have been "they". Come to think of it, I read, so I don't know if it's true, TH's fans gave SF a lot of flak for dumping TH over a new bf and possibly cheated on him. And they weren't even engaged.
>>339 you mean the Star's article about TH&EO? I agree, it's such a silly piece I doubt in that case any PR was involved. Not sure about the rest of the US outlets.
According to this CB's poster, EO's fiancé was in Shreveport to spend Thanksgiving with her; the spa TH and EO went was shut down for giving sex services, haha

Lol. I did think that the pictures didn't make it look the most refined of establishments.
