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, Richard Armitage: EXCLUSIVE: 'Spooks' Film 'In The Works' According To 'Mayday' Star Peter Firth, Who Played MI5 Boss Harry Pearce In Spy Drama (HUFF POST)

Much-loved spy drama 'Spooks' could make the move to the big screen, with one of its stars revealing that there is a script in the works, being penned by the original writers of the hit series.

"There is a script kind of in the machine," HuffPostUK has learned from actor Peter Firth, who played MI5 chief Harry Pearce throughout the ten series of the popular drama.

"They should make it," he adds. "It's not like it's a gamble with this one. But it costs a lot, and there's not a lot of money to go round at the moment."

This would suit Firth, who previously told HuffPostUK that he wished for a happier ending for his character with longtime colleague and barely-expressed love - Ruth Evershed, played by Nicola Walker. Viewers of the series finale in October 2011 watched goggle-eyed, as Ruth became one of Spooks' huge number of agents to fall for her country, or in the actors' case, the dramatic storyline.

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.

Ripper Street: ‘Street’ signs What lies ahead for ‘Ripper’ crew in Season 2 By MICHAEL STARR Last Updated: 11:58 PM, March 8, 2013 Posted: 10:36 PM, March 8, 2013 (NEW YORK POST)

Fans of “Ripper Street” won’t be disappointed by tonight’s season finale — which ties up some loose ends and leaves other plot stones unturned.

“We wanted to make sure that, if we got only one series, that it would end in a way fans would find satisfying, at least, in some ways,” says “Ripper Street” creator Richard Warlow.

“We didn't want [the first season] to be incredibly open-ended because fans get frustrated,” he says. “They get invested in a series, some big questions are put to them, and then they don’t get any satisfaction.

“As a TV watcher I’m slightly resentful of those situations . . . and I didn't want ‘Ripper Street’ to be like that.

Warlow says he has a “strong sense” of where his characters will be in Season Two (filming begins in late April/early May). “It will be between six months and a year from where we left the characters,” he says. “I wanted to move into the final decade of the 19th century; the feel, the landscape and the culture has slightly changed.

“For Reid, to jump ahead any further would have been unfair to the character and [to] the issues we need to answer,” Warlow says. “We’ll be far enough ahead that’s he’s been able to get back to some sort of sense of normalcy.

“In Series 2, we’ll be looking at more of the political and cultural movements of the time as inspiration,” he says. “The premise of Series 1 was a group of people trying to make peace with their past.

“In Series 2 . . . how do they then go about living in a Victorian culture that’s economically depressed with . . . the feeling of doom and calamity that ends of centuries always bring?”

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.

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.

Jerome Flynn: GAME OF THRONES Season 3: Jerome Flynn Hints At Bronn Arc by ROCO on FEBRUARY 26, 2013 ·(Seriable)

Game Of Thrones actor Jerome Flynn has teased his character’s fractious trajectory in the fantasy serial’s upcoming third season, premiering March 31 on HBO.

In a chat with Access Hollywood, Flynn hinted that the love-in between his character Bronn and Peter Dinklage‘s Tyrion Lannister could meet stormy weather in the wake of Tyrion losing his job as Hand of the King to Tywin Lannister.

“He’s just about sticking it with Tyrion. He’s getting a bit frustrated, underpaid. He’s not got the position he had, but there’s still love between them. And some good, some nice scenes together, but not much.”
