Guillermo del Toro on Crimson Peak

Shooting doesn't begin until February 2014, but a cast is already in place. Charlie Hunnam, Mia Wasikowska, Benedict Cumberbatch and Jessica Chastain will star.

"Crimson Peak is a much, much, much smaller movie, completely character-driven," said Del Toro in a one-on-one interview. "It's an adult movie, an R-rated movie, pretty adult. Shockingly different from anything I've done in the English language. Normally, when I go to do a movie in America for the spectacle and younger audience, for Blade or whatever. This movie's tone is scary and it's the first time I get to do a movie more akin to what I do in the Spanish movies." (...) "This is a Gothic romance, haunted house, in the north of England."

(...) Tonally, Del Toro said Crimson Peak "has moments that are very visceral, physical violence. You're in this sort of sedate romance and then there is this brutal moment where you're like, "Whoa!" And it has a lot of kinky moments."

Kinky, huh? A kinky movie with Benedict Cumberbatch? :P Gosh, I just hope he won't be playing a sleaze in it like he did in Atonement, that would be awful :( Also, del Toro obviously loves to work with Charlie Hunnam. First he He cast him in Pacific Rim and now in Crimson Peak. Cool!

Murder Is Easy

Having seen STID for the second time last weekend, for some reason I started craving Marple: Murder Is Easy again. You know, the episode where Benedict Cumberbatch's playing Luke Fitzwilliam, the guy who helps Miss Marple catch the culprit who has offed half the village already. Gosh, he's so gorgeous in this episode *_* There's something really stunning about him here. And he looks so young, considering the episode is only 5 years old! Gosh... I just love that Luke makes Miss Marple, that he figures out she's lying about who she is and then they strike a friendship and start sleuthing together!

If you haven't seen this episode and you're a fan of Agatha Christie or Benedict, do get your hands on it and watch it ASAP!
