Arthur Darvill: "I'm Sure I'll Return to Doctor Who At Some Point"

Arthur Darvill: "I'm Sure I'll Return to #DoctorWho At Some Point"

It’s been (just over) 13 years since Arthur Darvill made his Doctor Who debut as Rory Williams, and now, Darvill is looking to the future, apparently seeing a return to the programme as inevitable. Fans of the Eleventh Doctor era will be pleased to hear Darvill enthuse: “I always said that I wouldn’t [return] but I think that changes over time. I’m sure it will happen at some point. [Matt…

Guardiani Della Galassia Vol. 3 - La Recensione

Quella dei Guardiani è la seconda trilogia dell’MCU che giunge al suo capolinea e come lo fa? lo fa alla grande, col botto, con una corsa sulle montagne russe e con un James Gunn che molla tutti i freni senza però mai andare oltre i limiti (come gli accaduto in The Suicide Squad).

Hi Mike, how was Tribeca?

It was fantastic.

For those who don't know, I was lucky enough to be invited to sit on the US Narrative Feature Jury at this year's Tribeca Festival. I just got back yesterday from ten days in Manhattan.

I found the whole thing to be absolutely rejuvenating.

Our category had five jurors: myself, Zoey Deutsch, Stephanie Hsu, Tommy Oliver, and Ramin Bahrani.

Kate was also on a jury - she was on the International Feature Jury (which included Brendan Fraser and Zazie Beets) so that meant we spent the week seeing different movies. We'd pass each other on our way to different screenings, sometimes in the lobby of the theater, and then meet up for dinner or a party and get to tell each other about the awesome movies we saw that day.

It was overwhelming to start with. At the Opening Night reception, we met Robert DeNiro, and we saw Martin Scorcese and Matt Damon (we were way too timid to introduce ourselves). I did manage to introduce myself to Kenneth Lonergan, who has made some of my all-time favorite movies (You Can Count on Me is one of the best movies I've ever seen), and the great Chazz Palminteri (I got to tell him how much I absolute adore A Bronx Tale). I also spent a fair amount of time chatting with Peter Coyote, who was incredibly kind and funny. We chatted a lot about Ken Burns.

After that, we went to the Opening Night film, a terrific documentary called Kiss the Future. We walked the red carpet (something I'm never quite comfortable with, but luckily Kate is a natural) and we saw the movie with a packed house. It was a beautiful film and really started everything off on an amazing foot.

And then the judging started. I got to watch all of the movies in my category in the theater, with audiences. A car would pick me up and take me to the screening. At my busiest, I saw three movies in one day, but it was usually two.

I made it a point not to know anything about the movies before I saw them - sometimes I went in without knowing the title. And I can't overstate how amazing it was to see these independent films with an audience, in a theater, instead of streaming. Having spent the better part of the last five years watching this primarily at home, I was shocked at how inspiring and energizing it was to sit in a theater with a crowd over, and over, and over again. I've never seen this many movies in a theater in such a short time, and I LOVED it.

I didn't only see movies that were in my category, though. I also made sure I saw other films at the festival that I wasn't judging - including Downtown Owl, the directorial debut of my friends Hamish Linklater and Lily Rabe.

I made a point to go to the premiere of Suitable Flesh, starring the amazing Barbara Crampton and Heather Graham, and produced by my old friends Joe Wicker and Morgan Peter Brown from the Absentia Days.

And it wasn't all movies, either - I also got to moderate a chat with the brilliant Sam Lake about his upcoming Alan Wake 2 release. Sam was a joy to spend time with, and we had a lot to talk about.

And my friend and colleague Justina Ireland traveled up to NY to moderate a Master Class where a theater full of people listened to me ramble about horror movies for an hour.

(With Justina Ireland and Johnathan Penner - Penner ran the Escape from Tribeca program, and it was his idea to bring me to the festival)

And then, just before I left, I met up with some friends to see a Broadway show. Karen Gillan and Willa Fitzgerald joined Kate and I to see Grey House.

My experience at Tribeca was fantastic. It was such an amazing celebration of art and cinema, and I can't wait to go back. I spent a lot of it feeling overwhelmed, and feeling like I didn't quite deserve my seat at the table (imposter syndrome is just one of the staples of being a filmmaker, isn't it?) but I'm so glad I went.

okay im so amused by the concepts of darvill!master and gillan!master i may need to write some confusing fic

[an1d10t]

Wanna know what we need?

A fief vs fief competition.

There are 50 fiefs in Araluen, right? What if they decided to do a little game to see which fief is ‘the best’. It’s all fun and games and the winner just gets a great free dinner. Or they can request one fief to do a theatre play

The people competing in these are the heads, by the way. Unless if a person cannot do the given task they can request someone else to do it for them.

The first round is the rangers. And because the people decided to be a little cheeky they decided that the rangers aren’t going to do archery, they’re going to sword fight. Except Gillan. He gets to choose someone because he decided to get born with privileges

Then the cooks. They have to do archery. Whoever hits the target the most gets 50 points. The one who hits the target the least gets 0

Then the scribes. They have to work in the stalls. The head scribe who readies their horse first gets 50 points for their team.

Because the barons always give scribes so much work they get to do their job. Needing to sort out all kinds of scribe jobs (I don’t know what they do. Please do tell me). The one who does it the best gets 50 points for their fief

Then the battle masters become barons. They need to punish crimes with correctly. The crimes could vary from stealing and Apple at the market to murdering someone in a bar fight. The barons need to decide if the punishment is fair. You know the drill, whoever gets it right the most gets 50 points for their fief

Lastly the diplomats. The diplomats need to work as chef. They need to make the pastry the chef of that fief is the best at. The judges will rate it on a scale from one to fifty. (The judges are Duncan, some apprentices and Karel)

‘The Life Of Chuck’: Chiwetel Ejiofor, Karen Gillan & Jacob Tremblay Join Stephen King Adaptation From Mike Flanagan And Trevor Macy’s Intrepid Pictures

Chiwetel Ejiofor (Rob Peace), Karen Gillan (Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3) and Jacob Tremblay (The Toxic Avenger) have joined the cast of The Life of Chuck, the latest of many Stephen King adaptations from filmmaker Mike Flanagan (Doctor Sleep), which kicked off production in Alabama under an interim agreement earlier this month. Tom Hiddleston and Mark Hamill lead the ensemble of the pic, written and directed by Flanagan, as we were first to tell you.

Also now involved is QWGmire, the production and financing entity known for the indie horror Agnes and the forthcoming Lovely, Dark and Deep, which has made a major equity investment in the independently financed feature.

Stated QWGmire partners Molly C. Quinn, Matthew M. Welty and Elan Gale, “We are thrilled to partner with Mike and Trevor [Macy] on this project. Mike is a master storyteller and we can’t wait to bring his inspirational adaptation of Stephen King’s short story to audiences.”

Based on three interconnected stories from King’s 2020 anthology If It Bleeds, The Life of Chuck examines the existence of its subject Charles Krantz in reverse, beginning with his death aged 39 from a brain tumor and ending with his childhood in a house believed to be haunted. Flanagan is set to produce the feature adaptation alongside his long-time Intrepid Pictures partner, Macy. WME Independent is repping domestic sales, with FilmNation Entertainment overseeing the international front.

Best known for his Academy Award-nominated role in 12 Years a Slave, Ejiofor’s recent credits include the Showtime sci-fi drama series The Man Who Fell to Earth, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and the Sundance-opening sci-fi rom-com The Pod Generation with Emilia Clarke. Starring alongside Camila Cabello, Michael Kelly and more in Rob Peace, his sophomore feature on the heels of The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind, he’ll also soon be seen in Netflix’s The Old Guard 2 and a Venom threequel from Sony.

Gillan over the summer closed out her run as Guardians of the Galaxy‘s Nebula in the James Gunn-helmed Vol. 3, which grossed over $845M worldwide. Other recent credits for the actress include The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, Thor: Love and Thunder and the Mali Elfman-helmed indie genre-bender Next Exit. She’ll next be seen in the Lisa Steen comedy Late Bloomers, which world premiered at SXSW earlier this year, and also stars up opposite Russell Crowe in the forthcoming crime thriller Sleeping Dogs.

FORGOTTEN LIVES: A Modern Morbius Doctor

So since Forgotten Lives is available digitally for the month of February, it gives me more opportunity to discuss Doctors that are a little more forgotten. Or, in the case we're all fans of, PNGs that look like staff working on the show that self inserted themselves as the Doctor. We're all familiar, by now, with the eight members of production staff that wore period clothes in the place of all those famous actors that... didn't line up to be pre-Hartnell. It's funny, but it doesn't it feel more like the show? The faces before the Doctor being those that really came before them, the people that kept the wheels spinning through an era of the show, multiple eras in some of their cases!

But who's to say that "The Brain of Morbius" is the only time we saw production crew turned Timeless Children? Who's to say they even played the titular hero of the show?

If anybody was going to add themselves to the peculiar line-up... it would be Steven Moffat, wouldn't it?

If you were growing up in 2010, then you were there for Doctor Who Series 5, starring Matt Smith (obvious Morbius Doctor joke) and Karen Gillan, the first series showrun by Steven Moffat. It was far from his first time working on the show, having notably written "The Curse of Fatal Death" for Red Nose Day 1999 along with a handful of iconic episodes littered throughout the RTD1 era of NuWho. What also debuted in 2010 following "Vincent and the Doctor" was a trailer for Doctor Who's latest attempt in the video game market - Doctor Who: The Adventure Games.

This episodic PC game covered five episodes encountering Daleks, Cybermen, Sontarans and Vashta Nerada, before production was ceased a year later. What is most important for this discussion is episode 3 of the Adventure games, "TARDIS".

In a bottle episode set entirely on the TARDIS, you traverse through two different locations. The first is the console room but the second is more exciting, as we saw the Eleventh Doctor's Drawing Room. We were encouraged to rummage around and learn about some of the Doctor's collection, seeing different items from throughout space and time. Dozens of items were littered around the room that could be interacted, but we're only going to talk about the portrait.

On the left is the Portait of Adriaan van der Hoop, a banker and politician from 19th century Netherlands. On the right is the redesigned portrait in the Drawing Room. The intention with giving this portrait longer darker hair holding Time Lord tech was to make the appearance closer to Steven Moffat, which then raises the question of this post. Unlike "The Brain of Morbius", this is a simple Easter Egg that had no intention to reimagine the history of the Doctor. But in the wake of "The Timeless Children", there are new possibilities.

The issue is figuring out WHO this portrait is. Luckily, we have options.

Option 1.) The Doctor

It's the option that, as a Forgotten Lives fan, is more fun to imagine. The Doctor having an anachronistic portrait of himself with a new face? It's a mystery that'd grab them! The issue is that there isn't much else there - the only reason this grabs as being the Doctor is the same reason that the Morbius Doctors belong to them, because the face is based on the crew behind the camera and the eight previous examples belong to our lead. However, there's a more compelling option...

Option 2.) The Master

This one has a lot more ground and isn't too difficult to presume, especially with this video by Captainjimipie covering the theory. The Master almost has a whole unseen regeneration cycle, meaning there's a lot of space for this portrait to be a previous incarnation. The portrait also, importantly, appears to be holding a Laser Screwdriver which was used by the War and Saxon Masters. While it would be strange for the Doctor to have a portrait of the Master, the Doctor is using his Drawing Room as a storage room so would make sense to be kept.

But there's a specific option that's much more fun and really needs discussing...

Option 3.) Both

There is no evidence, this would just be fun. We've yet to have the Doctor and the Master share a face at the same time (we were so close with Dhawan!Doctor) but what if they did? A portrait of a forgotten Doctor with the iconography of an unseen Master, the two closest friends and enemies sharing a face.

It's fun to debate and consider who these people were and, if you're a fan of Forgotten Lives, then you're already well aware of it! The biggest appeal to Forgotten Lives is getting eight brand-new original takes on the Doctor, and the biggest benefit is raising money to fight Alzheimers.

every now and then, the spirit of angsty rock musicals possesses me and I descend into a cycle of listening to, watching, acting out, talking about and singing Jesus Christ Superstar for about 2 weeks straight. during this time period, the falsettos of Ted Neeley and Ian Gillan, masterful ad libs of Carl Anderson, sorrowful balladic notes of Yvonne Elliman and all those who came before and after them consume my every waking thought. I become compelled to listen to every version of “Heaven On Their Minds” and “Gethsemane (I Only Want to Say)” I can find, even the ones recorded with shitty iPhone cameras and mics. my voice goes hoarse singing along with Judas’ lament over blood money and Simon’s overenthusiastic powerpoint to Jesus about how great he is. I obsess over how cunty Judas’, Herod’s, Caiaphas’ and Pilate’s outfits are by production. I weep over the kiss of betrayal as Judas and Jesus are separated for the last time. I learn new stuff about the singers and productions every time.

I soak up the inevitable poetic tragedy of it all and then I go back to our regularly scheduled programming.

what are your favorite loki ships besides valki?

I had been working on a similar post that I left on drafts, so:

Valki. I came out of the movie theater shipping them because of their fight scenes, and that they're very good foils to each other. They're antiheroes that had to do awful things to survive with a bunch of trauma. Why did the Russos have to kill my ship in such a fucked up way? D: I was DEVASTATED and have still not recovered! I'm so fucking salty over this! I've never been so salty about a ship since Zutara not being cannon!

Frostshield (I feel like this is surprising knowing me and the fact that I've only watched the first CA movie. I love Lise's "Remember This Cold" fic series; it's so good I started shipping this). Probably one of my favorite Avengers to ship Loki with. I think they both know what it's like to be perceived as weak and feel alone, but they're so different at the same time.

Nebuloki. They have so much in common! Even Karen Gillan said she would pair her character with Loki. They might have met in Sanctuary.

Frostmaster. This ship is very good for Loki whump material and I love to put Loki through the wringer (Lise's dark fics, anyone?). The GM has God-like abilities and is a convenient obstacle/torturer for that reason. And the aspect of having to pretend to enjoy torture and all the mind games is good shit.

Frosthawk. It has Dracula/Renfield vibes. Fucked up and angsty. And I will find it funny when the thrall is like "Bitch, go to sleep. Eat something!" to his master who sucks at taking care of himself. I don't really care for Clint, but this ship is good for angst and fucked up mind control dynamics, and the occassional take where the thrall is like "Bitch, have you eaten?" to his distressed Master that sucks at taking care of himself. Reminds me of that post where someone was like "Loki forced his thralls unknowingly into caring for him rather than pure obedience."

Funnily enough I've only written Lokius and Sylki so far Out of spite because there were too many domestic fluffy human AUs for those.
