Anna Karenina: Q&A With Matthew Macfadyen (Oblonsky) and Alicia Vikander (Kitty) Written by thespotlightreport
Thanks to Universal Sony, we got access to a very interesting Q&A with 2 of the stars of Anna Karenina, Matthew Macfadyen and Alicia Vikander.
Q. Matthew, what kind of man is Oblonsky in the movie?
A. Oblonsky is a lover of pleasures of the flesh. He likes women and food and drink. He is a social animal and is not introspective and is not burdened with a sense of guilt about his actions. But he is not a callous man. He loves his friends and he loves the love of his friends, and he fails a bit in his own marriage.
Q.But he tries to bring happiness to others…
A. Absolutely, yes. And that is quite touching. He is a perceptive man about people and their behaviour but can’t always shine that perception on his own relationships.
Q. Alicia, how is Kitty’s heart broken in Anna Karenina and how is that, ultimately, a positive thing?
A. At the start of the movie Kitty is very young and is introduced to society and she probably thinks that Count Vronsky is the Prince Charming who will come to steal her heart. But suddenly her own idea of life and love is torn down after Vronsky falls for Anna. And through that she starts to see life and herself another way and she becomes a woman and is able to look back and see that the person she really loved was with her the whole time [Levin, played by Domhnall Gleeson].

Matthew Macfadyen at Focus Clinics (proving I will watch anything that has Matthew Macfadyen in it)

I admit it, I am pathetic. I am even watching Matthew do features for his Eye clinic. Give the guy a BAFTA for this, he is simply wonderful...
Jude Law Quits ‘Jane Got a Gun’ (THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER)
The drama on indie western Jane Got a Gun has intensified, with the news that Jude Law has now exited the movie, reports Yahoo News.
Director Lynne Ramsay controversially didn't turn up for her first day on the set of the film in Santa Fe, N.M.
Producer Scott Steindorff was quick to lambast Ramsay, who had been key to the film's development, for her nonappearance, calling her decision “insane.”
It then emerged that Gavin O'Connor, director of Warrior, had been drafted in to replace Ramsay.
Law left the production because he signed on to work with Ramsay, not O'Connor, said Yahoo.

Matthew Macfadyen: Buring reunites with Macfadyen
MyAnna Buring has said it was like working with an "old friend" when she reunited with her Ripper Street co-star Matthew Macfadyen for the big screen.
The actress shot Epic, due out next year, with Matthew in Georgia, after filming BBC One drama Ripper Street together.
"It's been great, lovely," she said of working with Matthew on the movie, the story of an English filmmaker who is hired to direct a huge production in the Caucasus region of Europe.
"It's like working with an old mate the second time around so it's fun."
MyAnna, who attended the First Light Awards this week, to celebrate the next generation of British filmmakers, is about to start working on a second series of Ripper Street, which has been recommissioned despite complaints it was too violent.

Michael Fassbender Exits Natalie Portman's 'Jane Got a Gun' (Exclusive) 6:39 PM PDT 3/11/2013 by Borys Kit (THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER)
Jude Law now will play the villain as Joel Edgerton shifts to the hero role in the high-profile Western.
Michael Fassbender, who was to have played the male lead in the Natalie Portman-led Western, has exited the movie, while Joel Edgerton, who was on board to play the villain, will step into the hero role.
Jude Law, in the meantime, has signed on for the villain, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter.
The moves come a couple weeks before the start of shooting in New Mexico. Sources say the actor rotation came about due to Fassbender's schedule conflict with his upcoming shoot in Montreal for X-Men: Days of Future Past. Gun has been pushed back several times and now is scheduled to begin filming in April.

Ripper Street Season 1 Review “What Use Our Work” (TV EQUALS)
On last week’s Ripper Street, Captain Jackson’s former Pinkerton colleague set him up as the murderer of a prostitute. It seemed from the preview that the season finale was going to focus on clearing Jacksons name and quelling public panic over the return of Jack the Ripper. In an interesting twist, neither of these turned out to be the case.
The police station is still grieving at the loss of Hobbs. In an incredibly touching scene, the policemen come together in a bar to mourn their fallen colleague. Drake, a man typically quick to show anger or toughness, is overwhelmed with emotion and stands before them with tears in his eyes. He is angry, though, at Inspector Reid, who he thinks is out of touch with the lives and concerns of his men. For his part, Reid is equally affected by Hobbs’ death, but realizes that he never took the time to get to know Hobbs when he was alive. For example, he didn’t know Hobbs was married.
These shortcomings in Reid’s professional life are eclipsed by the ruins of his personal life. He previously shared a passionate kiss with Mrs. Goren, but goes even further when he shows up at her bedroom. While this is not the best course of action, it is not surprising considering how cold his wife has been towards him. Everything about Emily is stiff and unwelcoming – her manner of speech, hair, clothes, and avoidance of much physical contact. Unfortunately, Reid doesn’t get the solace he’s searching for from Mrs. Goren. In a rather abrupt manner, she shuts down his efforts to tell her about the search for a man who may have information about his daughter. Reid is so broken and alone. It’s tragic.

Matthew Macfadyen: Critic’s corner: What’s on TV tonight By Matthew Gilbert | BOSTON GLOBE STAFF
Ripper Street Saturday at 9 p.m., BBC America
I’ve enjoyed this series, which wraps for the season on Saturday night. “Ripper Street” is yet another TV crime procedural, but the primitive forensics and the Victorian setting, with its killing poverty and moral hypocrisies, make it stand out. The writers manage to turn each murder case into more than just a whodunit, with themes about the brutality of war, labor strikes, and psychiatry. And Matthew Macfadyen has been a formidable lead. The series has been renewed for a second season.

Jude Law sparks rumours of a new romance as he's spotted jetting into France with mystery woman By KIMBERLEY DADDS (MAIL ON LINE)
In December he was rumoured to be dating a PR executive 14 years his junior.
But now Jude Law has prompted speculation he has a new woman on his arm.
The Sherlock Holmes actor appears to have a new companion as he was spotted jetting into France on Monday with a pretty blonde in tow.
The 40-year-old wore jeans with big turn ups, a T-shirt and smart trainers while covering his eyes in sunglasses ready to get in the mood for some warm rays.
The mystery woman, meanwhile, looked equally relaxed sporting a smart casual ensemble.
She wandered along a metre or two away from Jude as she showed off her style in leather look skinnies and a red leather jacket.
Keeping warm with a fur gilet underneath she carried a small white leather bag and kept her hair off her face with her own pair of sunglasses.
And if she is dating the Hollywood star it's clear to see why as she showed off her natural beauty appearing make-up free.
Jude has previously dated blonde actress Sienna Miller who he was once engaged to.

Jude Law didn't plan film career added: 4 Mar 2013 // by: Film-News.co.uk Newsdesk
Jude Law didn't plan to have a career in film.
The British actor never expected to make it in Hollywood when he was growing up in South London.
Jude named Daniel Day-Lewis' My Beautiful Laundrette as being the film that changed his ambitions and influenced him to pursue work in the movie industry.
"I never planned a career in film. I don't know anyone who grew up in the 70s in Lewisham who did. It just wasn't realistic. Theatre was. I grew up watching and loving film but it was this other world – movie stars were like Newman and Mitchum and McQueen. And then this amazing crop of actors - Tim Roth, Gary Oldman and Daniel Day-Lewis - came along," Jude revealed to British newspaper the Guardian. "Tim and Gary were round the corner from where I lived. That was very, very, very influential for me. I remember seeing Daniel Day-Lewis in My Beautiful Launderette and thinking: 'Oh, film can be part of my world as well.'"

RIPPER STREET: Adam Rothenberg finds dream part in 'Ripper Street' (RED EYE)
SHOW PATROL
March 02, 2013|By Curt Wagner, @ShowPatrol | RedEye

Set in London's rough East End in 1890, "Ripper Street" tells the story of H Division, the police precinct charged with keeping order in the aftermath of Jack the Ripper's reign of terror. Rothenberg plays American Homer Jackson, an ex-Army surgeon and ex-Pinkerton detective recruited by Inspector Edmund Reid (Matthew Macfadyen) to help the police, including Reid's right-hand man, Sgt. Bennet Drake (Jerome Flynn), to solve crimes.
Just as Jackson's the only American working with H Division, Rothenberg was the only American on set during filming.

"I don't want to say [it was] totally life imitating art because I'm not nearly as interesting as Homer," he told me during a phone call from Gramercy, N.Y., where he lives. "But, yeah, there was a lot of that ... and that really helped in the flavor of the show. I actually kind of learned what being an American was all about by being surrounded by people who weren't. And, of course, that's part of what the show explores."
How Jackson, the consummate outsider, fits in with his new British "friends" has been one of the series more interesting aspects. Reid asked, then cajoled and then threatened him to remain at the inspector's beck and call to perform autopsies and use the burgeoning science of forensics to help solve cases. A fan of any vice you can imagine, Jackson's also gambled, gotten drunk (many times), been beaten up and clashed with the more straight-laced Drake, as well as Long Susan Hart (Myanna Buring), with whom he shares a dark secret.
