What 'Elementary' Star Jonny Lee Miller Loves Most About His Co-Star Lucy Liu ENTERTAINMENT (LIFE AND STYLE)

“She always brings a great sense of humor,” he tells Emmy magazine — Lucy is the cover girl this month. “We do try to see a funny side of everything. Otherwise we’ll be freakin’ miserable.”

The 44-year-old actress’ love to have a good time may be what brought her to the new successful comedy in the first place.

“I know it sounds crazy, but I was really looking to do a comedy,” she says. “I had gotten a bunch of other offers to do some comedies. In the end, this was the best project for me because it was really well put together.”

Jonny Lee Miller: 'Sherlock' is 'Elementary' for Lucy Liu March 29, 2013 (EXTRA)

Lucy stars as Dr. Watson to Johnny Lee Miller’s Holmes. The two say it's all about keeping things light and funny on set.

“He knows a million jokes and he remembers all of them -- and he can pull them out of his hat at any minute, which I love,” she explained. “I can’t remember any. And I always think, ‘Oh, my God, I have to remember that,’ and I never do. I never remember the punchlines.”

Miller added, “If you’re going to spend a lot of time with someone, you really need to be able to get on with them. It’s nice because we have a very similar sense of humor. Still, you usually have to explain jokes to her about three or four times.”

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.

Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch is cyberstalked (THE TELEGRAPH)

http://www.scoop.it/t/benedict-cumberbatch

By Tim Walker7:30AM GMT 13 Mar 2013

It is a crime that would have been beyond the ken of even the modern-day Sherlock Holmes that he portrays on screen: cyberstalking.

Benedict Cumberbatch admits that he was sufficiently unnerved when one of his neighbours started to document his actions in his own home in real time on a social networking site this week that he felt he had no alternative but to call in the police.

“I would say that it was the strangest fan experience that I’ve ever had,” Cumberbatch tells Mandrake. “I had someone live tweeting my movements while I was in my own house.

“It was such a strange and a direct thing to see these tweets saying what I was doing as I was doing them. I found it really worrying, and, yes, of course, very hard to deal with. I worked out after a while who it was who was doing it so, when it came to it, I didn’t actually call in the police, but I was prepared to do so.

Benedict Cumberbatch: Sherlock's big in the US – but not as big as Elementary (RADIO TIMES)

But the star says Americans love the British show's "reverence for the originals and the relationship between Sherlock and Watson"

Claire Webb and Paul Jones

11:42 AM, 13 March 2013

It’s fair to say there’s been a certain amount of rivalry among fans of Sherlock and Elementary, the recent UK and US Sherlock Holmes TV updates.

But while Sherlock is the clear winner over here – and also boasts a significant Stateside following – its star Benedict Cumberbatch admits Elementary just about has the edge in America.  

"Sherlock has spread far and wide. It's not as big as – well, probably not as big as – Elementary over there, that's a huge show," said Cumberbatch, "But still, lots of people have seen it. It's really surprising."

While both series update the action to the modern day, Elementary – starring Cumberbatch's friend and coutryman Jonny-Lee Miller – moves it from Sherlock Holmes's native London to New York, features a female Dr Watson and has been criticised for being too far-removed from the original.

Cumberbatch says US audiences, like their British counterparts, appreciate the authenticity of the BBC show.

Benedict Cumberbatch turns detective to uncover the star-struck neighbour who was tweeting his every move By DAVID WILKES PUBLISHED: 20:27 EST, 13 March 2013 | UPDATED: 04:08 EST, 14 March 2013 (DAILY MAIL)

Sherlock would have been proud!

Mystery: Benedict Cumberbatch, pictured with his former girlfriend Olivia Poulet, was forced to do some detective work of his own

It was a mystery that Sherlock Holmes himself might have struggled to solve – the curious case of the heart-throb actor and the cyber-stalker.

Someone, it seems, was snooping on the home of Benedict Cumberbatch, who plays a contemporary version of Arthur Conan Doyle’s sleuth in the hit TV series Sherlock, and documenting his actions in real time on a social networking site.

Old Harrovian Cumberbatch, 36, was so unnerved he considered calling the police. 


But after some detective work of his own, he apparently discovered the culprit was a star-struck neighbour. 

‘I would say that it was the strangest fan experience that I’ve ever had. I had someone live-tweeting my movements while I was in my own house,’ he said.

MARTIN FREEMAN: Watch Martin Freeman discuss new Sherlock filming with Graham Norton (Video) (BBC AMERICA)

Sherlock fans, let’s face it, we’re all desperately scrabbling for any clues as to what is going on with Series 3, aren’t we?

Well, amid some faintly terrifying paintings of Watson and Sherlock “at it,” and the revelation that his head has not been as severely turned by the success of The Hobbit as you may assume, Martin Freeman let slip, on Comic Relief’s Big Chat – Graham Norton’s chat show marathon – that they start shooting the week after next.

Benedict Cumberbatch is mesmerising in Star Trek Into Darkness preview (RADIO TIMES)

The Sherlock star takes the movie to another level, says Paul Jones, following a screening of new material from the sci-fi blockbuster

Paul Jones
2:39 PM, 08 March 2013

RadioTimes.com was among those treated to a screening of unseen footage from the upcoming Star Trek sequel at the London IMAX in Waterloo today – the first 28 delicious minutes of sci-fi blockbusting goodness, plus two further scenes from later on in the movie.

It's good news, people.

True, I can't make any judgement on bigger picture stuff, like how the wider plot hangs together or about the emotional heart of the movie, but on the sci-fi-action-drama axis, it delivers. Like a postman on steroids. Or something...

The action sequences we saw are spectacular and gripping, there's plenty of humour and some great performances (with honourable mention going to Zachary Quinto as Spock – and not to Simon Pegg's grating parody of chief engineer Scotty).

But the one thing that really stood out based on what we saw today was Benedict Cumberbatch as villain John Harrison (yes, as far as we know that's still his name).

We didn't see huge amounts of him but when Cumberbatch is on screen the movie hits another level. He is, instantly, utterly mesmerising (even before he appears that voice alone does the job). He brings an intensity to every scene, even the briefest appearances, and carries it through into the more physical set-pieces, particularly a chase and fight with Quinto.

Martin Freeman: Sherlock series 3 starts filming "the week after next" (RADIO TIMES)

Paul Jones
11:12 AM, 08 March 2013

A “brilliant” script for the first episode of Sherlock series three will start filming “the week after next”, says Martin Freeman.

The star, who plays John Watson opposite Benedict Cumberbatch’s great detective in the BBC1 drama, shared the news with Graham Norton on his marathon BBC3 Comic Relief chat show last night.

Freeman says he's read the script for the episode that will explain how Sherlock managed his death-defying plunge in series two finale The Reichenbach Fall – "Yes, it's brilliant" – but admits it hasn’t completely cleared up the mystery for him.

Asked whether he now knew how Sherlock had survived, Freeman admitted "Do you know what, actually, no. Even we, on reading the script, aren't quite sure. [Writer] Mark Gatiss is a clever fella."

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.

Colin Firth: Nicole Kidman Doesn't Remember Colin Firth in 'Before I Go To Sleep'n (FIRST SHOWING)

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.'"
