Nobody likes a know-it-all, but we weren’t wrong when predicting Christopher Nolan‘s Dunkirk would be a blockbuster. The WWII movie held the number one spot at the box office its first weekend out, having released on July 21. If you’ve seen the film already, which revolves around over 300,000 Allied soldiers being evacuated during WWII, perhaps you noticed the […]
Anglophenia’s Tom Brook had a chance to catch up with writer/director Christopher Nolan and the cast of the soon-to-be blockbuster (according to us) film Dunkirk, in theaters today (July 21). Viewers don’t necessarily need to be aware of the Battle of Dunkirk, explains one of the film’s co-stars, Mark Rylance, who you probably know from Wolf Hall. “It’s a […]
Christopher Nolan‘s next movie may take place in the past (summer 1940, to be exact) and on planet Earth (during the evacuation of Allied armed forces from France), but that doesn’t mean it’s any less epic than his previous efforts Inception or Interstellar. We got our first look at it yesterday (August 4) in a teaser released to coincide […]
Not since Tom Hanks hauled himself ashore in Steven Spielberg‘s Saving Private Ryan has a World War II movie had such a star-studded line-up as Dunkirk. This time it’s Christopher Nolan in the director’s chair, and the cast he’s assembled so far puts your average branch of Madame Tussauds to shame. The Wrap is now […]
It’s one thing to make a sci-fi film that connects with a broad audience, but you know you’ve hit the mark when the science community backs you up. That’s what’s happening with director Christopher Nolan’s time-bending Interstellar. The American Journal of Physics has published an academic paper entitled “Visualizing ‘Interstellar’s Wormhole,” and based on its findings […]
Captain Jack (John Barrowman) and Gwen Cooper (Eve Myles) kicked an inordinate amount of alien butt on the original Torchwood, and they emerged from retirement to battle an unknown in the series return Torchwood: Miracle Day, which makes its BBC AMERICA premiere this Saturday (September 14). But you can’t talk Torchwood without paying homage to […]
Some weeks, it just rains men in drenched ol’ England. This week is one, with an outstanding example of British beefcake celebrating his birthday almost every day of the week. Let’s begin with Prince Harry, who turns 29 this Sunday, Sept. 15. (Technically, his birthday is next week but we wanted to be sure to give […]
J.K. Rowling is having a busy month. Not Benedict Cumberbatch busy, but busy nonetheless. Two weeks ago, the Harry Potter writer was revealed to be the real author of a mystery novel, The Cuckoo’s Calling, which had been published last spring–to sparse sales–under the pseudonym, Robert Galbraith. Once Rowling’s involvement became known, the book almost instantly shot up to near the […]
The first time we see Henry Cavill playing the adult Superman in Man of Steel, the British actor and The Tudors vet is shirtless, sweaty and nearly as buff and bulked as The Hulk. Hey, way to make an entrance. The movie is directed by Zack Snyder (Sucker Punch) and produced by Christopher Nolan (who also gets a co-story credit). It opens Friday (June […]
Liam Neeson needs to take a big breath. He’ll want all that air if he expects to blow out all 60 candles on his birthday cake. Make that 61 if his friends and family add an extra candle for him wish on atop the cake. Yes, Neeson, the Irish-born actor whose star is shining more brightly […]
