The Night Manager

Today the shooting of The Night Manager begins according to Hugh Laurie. In Switzerland.

The novel follows Jonathan Pine, a former British soldier turned night auditor for a luxurious hotel. One night, Pine encounters Sophie, a French-Arab woman who has ties to Richard Onslow Roper, an English black marketeer who has made a fortune from the sale of weapons. Sophie provides Pine with incriminating documents, which Pine forwards to a friend in British intelligence. Despite Pine's best efforts to help her, Sophie's betrayal is discovered and she is subsequently murdered. Six months later, Pine is approached by intelligence operatives Leonard Burr and Rex Goodhew, who head a British anti-arms-smuggling organization and are planning an elaborate sting operation against Roper. Eager to avenge Sophie, Pine agrees to go undercover to infiltrate Roper's vast criminal empire, but the operation is jeopardized by an inter-agency turf war within the intelligence community.
Burr sets up an operation called "Limpet" designed to take down Roper. Jonathan Pine is then used as the recruit and with Burr, fabricates a criminal identity and cover story and heads to the Bahamas to meet up where Roper is going. Pine wins the confidence of Roper by "rescuing" his child from a phony kidnapping orchestrated by Burr's organization, getting severely injured in the process when the kidnappers beat him up. When he recovers, Roper sets Pine up with a fake company and uses Pine as a "front man" in his latest, largest illegal arms deal; he is planning to sell embargoed arms to the Colombian drug cartels in exchange for cocaine to be shipped to Europe. As the head of the company, Pine is tasked with the assignment of executing the transaction, in which shipping containers full of cocaine labeled "Colombian coffee" are exchanged for arms. While signing the paperwork Pine gathers information to convict Roper. He has also fallen in love with Roper's innocent English mistress, Jed.
Meanwhile, however, corrupt factions within both the CIA and British Intelligence are profiting from the illegal arms trade, and form a secret organization, 'Flagship', to scuttle Burr's sting operation. They betray Pine's true identity to Roper, who holds him captive on his yacht and tortures him. To save Pine, Burr sacrifices his operation and allows Roper to get away, in a daring maneuver which ends his own career. Pine and Jed get away at the end when Burr fools Roper into thinking he faces arrest if he doesn't release the two of them.
As with many Le Carre novels the story has an ambiguous ending, with Pine saved and united with Jed, but the corrupt arms dealers and intelligence officers win and Burr and the honest American enforcement officers working with him are discredited.

Thor III. revealed plot by Tom Hiddleston ?

A few times diverse Online Magazines claim that Tom already spoilered Thor III. about the Apocalypse and Loki´s wife, but I can reasure you it not. Ragnarok is part of the North Myth just like Loki´s punishment by the poisenous snake and also he tricked Sigyn into the marriage with him, and this are Stories from the Myth, but truth be told it could be part of the plot, who knows what Kevin Feige´s plans are, but it isn´t most likely, I would rather think of the Storyline with The Enchantress, Lorelei - hell even Sif, all heart broken in Asgard...and who is in Asgard... ;-)

All we can assume is that it´s the end of all things. And Loki is about to blow some shit up. And that Thor will break everything apart, when he gets to know what Loki did to their Father (What ever that may be?)

Empire - April 2015 HIGH RISE Rising Up - Hiddleston and Evans Go Wild in Ben Wheatley’s High-Rise

Class Actor ?

More than once I came across posts and interviews where people said they won´t support an actor who had a privileged education and repeatly they confront Tom about his educated background on Eton and Cambridge. But what is the fuss all about ?

Tom severly said he didn´t have any privilege by it because it just inhabits prejudgement on his part, and I don´t get why people get annoyed he had the chance to get his education, because not everyone can afford it, that didn´t stop any actor to persude their dream of acting.

Just because a hand full of well educated actors got famous this last years doesn´t mean you suddenly get noticed because of it, several stars didn´t even have an eduction of that sort, they even didn´t attend a actors school at all. Talent and passion as discipline isn´t something to get learned but owned.

But of cause I get the jealousy about it, not everyone has the money background as they had, and you may think if I had that it certainly would open doors for you - or make it easier.
But fact is he also had to take jobs because he wanted to pay his own fees. And he could´ve take on more financial save jobs than become an actor if he had choosen to do. Because we know how many amazing actors just vanish in Series and Background Stories.

And he even linked to a page on his twitter account how to get a paid a part of the costs and he himself said how sad he is that the costs for his kind of work raised to this amount. So it´s really just an sad example if you label him with "Eton Actor". Because he is someone who works his ass off, and is very dedicated about his work.

Yes, he is here and he´s still alive

Hiddlestoners went down the rabbit hole as Tom´s twitter came back to live. Finally not only did he appear at the BAFTA Gala Dinner but also shared the first picture of his up coming movie
'High Rise' which is highly exciting because it´s one of the movie´s every independent movie film lover is waiting for.

HIGH RISE 

Dr. Laing is awaiting you ...

And he takes part in an amazing Vanity Fair Hollywood Campaign along with all the dashing british actors right now on screen

Vanity Fair Hollywood

Of cause it has to be a Jaguar

Ready to get Hiddlestoned ? Because this will be his year !

Crimson Peak

We got first pictures of Crimson Peak, now I´m dying for the trailer and possible more of the plot, Del Toro was very vage with the plot til now. 

From a former leak of the possible script we know that there is incest involved and that Sharpe is most likely more dangerous and frightening as the ghosts living in the old house.

And Mia is to discover the dark side of her husband
