Filmstars Don’t Die In Liverpool (2017), Annette Bening, Jamie Bell
Directed by Paul McGuigan; set in 1979 and starring Jamie Bell, Annette Bening, plus Vanessa Redgrave, Film Stars Don’t Die In Liverpool is the story of a romance between a young actor and a Hollywood leading lady.
All I needed to be convinced to watch this was to see Bening’s name and face. She is one of my ‘acting queens,’ thanks to her brilliant performance in a true favourite of mine, American Beauty (1999).
Victor Frankenstein (2015), James McAvoy, Daniel Radcliffe
Starring two of my favourite British actors, Daniel Radcliffe and James McAvoy, this version of the Frankenstein tale should be interesting. Firstly it’s from Igor’s perspective, rather than Frankensein’s which is new and interesting. Second, it’s set before the Frankenstein we’re most familiar with today emerges.
Without further a do…
Directed by Paul McGuigan of Lucky Number Slevin (2006), (a movie I recommend), bring on November 25th.
