HEADLINE: Starcross'd, and head over heels in love: The aerial acrobatic extravaganza at the Playhouse Theatre has proved irresistible to celebrity actors, writes James Inverne
BYLINE: By JAMES INVERNE
Backstage atLondon's Playhouse Theatre, currently showing Vesturport and Young Vic's Romeo and Juliet, a curious scene unfolds. Vanessa Redgrave is leading a group of unknown Icelandic actors in a tuneful rendition of "When You're Smiling". She is posing for photos with proud cast members, but it is she who is petitioning them. "It was so super," she beams. "Can I be in the show again? I'll be banging at the stage door to be let in."
This is no routine Romeo. It is an aerial acrobatics extravaganza in which Mercutio trapezes across the stage, Romeo dangles vertiginously from a vertical sash, and the actors free-style with the text, breaking into Icelandic whenever emotions bubble over. It may not sound like a show in which one would find one of Britain's most revered actresses. Yet Redgrave is not the only one to make a cameo appearance. Turn up at the Playhouse over the next three weeks or so and you could well see Sean Connery, Joanna Lumley, Jonathan Pryce, Dawn French, Derek Jacobi, Jenny Seagrove or another celebrity speaking the six-line epilogue. (The night I was there, so was Alan Rickman, but there is no date available to accommodate him).

- Drunken wolf whistles and calls to "get 'em off" - no, not Stringfellows, but the Women in Film and Television Awards held at the Hilton. It was hardly what actors Alan Rickman and Colin Salmon (rumoured to be the next James Bond) had been expecting when they presented their awards on stage, although after the 10 minute rowdy welcome Colin Firth received at last year's event, Diary thinks they should have known better. While it was a lunchtime event, the ladies didn't hold back. "It was still going strong when I left at 6pm," says one impressed member. If only all gong-fests could be so civilised.

The Golden Globe 2005 nominations will be announced on Monday, December 13.
From an article in The Hollywood Reporter
HBO almost certainly will boast a pair of category nominees in "Something the Lord Made" (which earned nine Emmy noms and won statuettes for top telefilm, cinematography and editing).
"I hope winning the Emmy makes us a Golden Globe favorite," "Something" executive producer Robert W. Cort says. "We'd love to be the kind of honored film that people think about and reference over the long haul; Golden Globe attention would be a critical step toward that."
"Lion" stars Patrick Stewart and Glenn Close must be viewed as favorites to snag slots in the lead miniseries or telefilm acting categories, as must Alan Rickman and Mos Def for "Something."
I thought I'd post this snippet from The Independent today, on the Rachel Corrie play. I personally believe that Rachel Corrie's story is something that needs to be highlighted; as someone on this Guestbook said, the world is coloured in shades of grey, and no one is ever truly right, particularly when it comes to something as complex as the Arab-Israeli conflict.
Alan Rickman is about to become the latest Hollywood star to light the blue torchpaper on the powderkeg that is Arab-Israeli politics.
He is working on a play about Rachel Corrie, pictured right, the American 'human shield' who was crushed to death by an Israeli bulldozer as she tried to prevent it destroying a Palestinian house in Rafah last March.
The play, 'My Name Is Rachel Corrie', will open at the Royal Court next year, and is based on detailed diaries and letters written by Corrie before her death. It has been fully authorised by her family.
Rickman, above, is collaborating with the journalist Katherine Viner on the script, and has also agreed to direct the finished article. A former Labour Party donor, he is thought to be sympathetic towards the Palestinian cause.
'I haven't directed theatre since 1995, but I don't feel nervous; it's something I've wanted to do for a long time,' Rickman told me at the recent Women in Film and Television Awards.
'We're working on the script at the moment. Craig and Cindy, Rachel's parents, have been very generous with her written material, handing over the journals that she has written since she was eight.'
The theatre said yesterday that the show would open in April: 'We're very proud that her family has allowed us to put this together. It's got their full support and they'll almost certainly be flying over to see it.'

Alan Rickman announced for new German police thriller
[from Emprimeur.ca (in French), translated with help by Géraldine from www.universharrypotter.com]
German director Tom Tykwer, best known for writing and directing Lola Rennt (titled Lola Runs in America) has announced he will be bringing the German best-seller "Perfume: The Story of a Murderer", by Patrick Suskind, to the big screen.
It was announced that Alan Rickman, Professor Snape in the Harry Potter movies, will be in the cast. It was also announced that although Lord of the Rings Orlando Bloom was hoped for, British actor Ben Whishaw will now appear in the role of Jean-Baptist Grenouille, a man of the 18th century who was born with a superior sense of smell which he uses to create the world's finest perfumes.
Tykwer adapted itself the police thriller, moving the story from France to Germany. The book broke German sales records with 15 million copies sold.

on the latest movie news
Ben scents a leading role...
It has sold millions of copies worldwide, now a movie adaptation of Patrick Suskind's bestselling gothic novel Perfume is set for the big screen.
It should mean A-list stardom for 24-year-old Ben Whishaw(right).
The Rada-trained thespian had the critics in raptures over his angst-ridden Hamlet in a beanie hat at London's Old Vic earlier this year. He will play the lead role in the murder thriller set in the slums of 18th-century Paris, about a man whose greatest passion is aroma, and whose heightened sense of smell leads him to commit the ultimate crime. It's directed by Tom Twyker, whose Run Lola Run was a surprise hit in 1998, and also stars Dustin Hoffman and Alan Rickman.
Perfume is Whishaw's second major movie role. . . .

HEADLINE: Not potty over the latest Harry Potter
For the first 90 minutes, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (PG, scares, minor language, 2004 132 mins) is witty, inventive, imaginative and highly entertaining. But after that you soon notice its flaws - it's repetitive, too long, confusing and has too many characters - what's the point of casting someone like Oscar winner Dame Maggie Smith and then giving her just three or four scenes? Or Emma Thompson? Or Dawn French? Or, to a lesser extent, Alan Rickman and Robbie Coltrane? Michael Gambon takes over from Richard Harris as Dumbledore but is the same, kindly, authoritative and slightly manipulative character as seen in the series previous films. . . .

Which of your films did you secretly worry were rubbish while you were making them, only for them to be hugely successful? And vice versa?
Elsa Reid, by e-mail
One I worried would be terrible was Rasputin, an American TV series about the last Tsar, which I made with Ian McKellen and Alan Rickman. It was a very difficult shoot - the weather was terrible, local actors were being over-worked and filming was delayed. We finished two days before Christmas and we had advent calenders in the make-up room so that we could count the days. But, in the end, it was wonderful. I got an Emmy for it. And, the most underrated film I have done is Jefferson in Paris. I consider it the greatest film I've been in, but it was hardly seen because of its critical reception.

TLC interviewed Bonnie Wright (Ginny), and she said the following about the Yule Ball (scene in HP-GoF):"I'm dancing with Matt [Lewis, a.k.a. Neville Longbottom], and it's fun. We're also doing another tango dance because Matt's supposed to be really good at dancing. And McGonagall and Snape are doing the tango, and we start doing the tango as well, which is good. We haven't started shooting it yet, but we're practicing the tango this week so it's quite hard."

Director Chosen For Potter 5
Yates signs on for Order of the Phoenix
19 November 2004
It's been mere days since news reached us that Michael Goldenberg would be filling in for writer Steve Kloves on Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, and now a new director is set to join him. Picking up where Mike Newell leaves of with The Goblet of Fire, David Yates will go on to usher young Harry into his fifth year at Hogwarts.
Who? David Yates, that's who, though we're not surprised you haven't heard of him. Yates is a relatively unknown director whose CV consists mainly of TV work. His primary film credit to date is 1998 Brit aristocracy drama The Tichborne Claimant, but fear not because he's also the man behind the excellent State of Play, which proved John Simm was far more than just Human Traffic.
So an odd choice to be sure and a real coup for Yates, having swept out of nowhere to take such a plum gig. Is he up to the task though? Who can say, but he's got some time to practice and directing Paul Bettany and Jennifer Connelly in the upcoming Brideshead Revisited is as good a place as any to hone his skills.
Shooting on Order of the Phoenix is scheduled for late 2005 for a release sometime in 2007.

AMONG the films nominated for an award at next month's London Film Festival is a small Liverpool film, Reuben, Don't Take Your Love to Town.
Just 12 minutes long and completed on a tiny budget, it has nevertheless been seen across the world.
It was shown at Cannes and nominated for awards at other festivals including Barcelona.
The story of a taxi driver played by Liverpool actor Neil Fitzmaurice, it is already establishing a cult following.
The film was written and produced by Liverpool actress Tina Malone and directed by ex-Brookside star Dean Sullivan.
The two ran their own agency and training school for a while -- from where the film emerged -- but the two have split professionally, "quite amicably", says Malone.
A self-confessed film fanatic, Malone is determined to continue her film-making career under her new title To Be Frank Productions.
She has written two other short films in the same series, both also about Liverpool taxi drivers.
And she has got some big names interested, among them Julie Walters and Alan Rickman.

Here are a few comments from the Amazon site about "The Perfume":
“The Perfum” by Patrik Süßkind
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Upon its publication last year in Germany Susskind's first novel Perfume immediately became an international best seller. Set in 18th-century France, Perfume relates the fascinating and horrifying tale of Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, a person as gifted as he was abominable. Born without a smell of his own but endowed with an extraordinary sense of smell, Grenouille becomes obsessed with procuring the perfect scent that will make him fully human. With brilliant narrative skill Susskind exposes the dark underside of the society through which Grenouille moves and explores the disquieting inner universe of this singularly possessed man. The translation is superb. Essential for literature collections. Ulrike S. Rettig, German Dept., Wellesley Coll., Wellesley, Mass. Copyright 1986 Reed Business Information, Inc.
Product Description:
An acclaimed bestseller and international sensation, Patrick Suskind's classic novel provokes a terrifying examination of what happens when one man's indulgence in his greatest passion-his sense of smell-leads to murder.
In the slums of eighteenth-century France, the infant Jean-Baptiste Grenouille is born with one sublime gift-an absolute sense of smell. As a boy, he lives to decipher the odors of Paris, and apprentices himself to a prominent perfumer who teaches him the ancient art of mixing precious oils and herbs. But Grenouille's genius is such that he is not satisfied to stop there, and he becomes obsessed with capturing the smells of objects such as brass doorknobs and frest-cut wood. Then one day he catches a hint of a scent that will drive him on an ever-more-terrifying quest to create the "ultimate perfume"-the scent of a beautiful young virgin. Told with dazzling narrative brillance, Perfume is a hauntingly powerful tale of murder and sensual depravity.
Translated by John E. Woods
My recollection, when he presented "Run Lola Run" (which won the Golden Space Needle that year) at the SIFF, was that it was Tom Tykwers first film.
The "Four Enchanted Evenings" at RADA, contrary to prior GB posting, were a complete sell out. Unfortunately, they thought they would be able to juggle 'the talent' to cover the four nights. When troubles began, they cut back to two, then found they could not actually do those. They plan either fewer nights to start with--in the spring--or one 'big' evening on a Sunday night--usually the best times for the artists to attend, which shall mean a larger venue outside the RADA facility. Or so it was explained to me.
Could someone kindly email me the store given in the fine print at the bottom of the Vogue picture? I cannot make it out from the picture.

Disappointed, I return from a trip to London where I had planned to 'hang out' at the Jerwood Theatre on Monday night to do a bit of Alan-spotting. I also managed to miss Juliet Stevenson at the Trafalgar Square anti-war gathering. Oh well, my timing is never good it seems. Of course, these were only side events and the vacation was otherwise great. Saw a preview of The Producers with Nathan Lane, who was fantastic. Thanks for keeping me informed while I was travelling! ;-) Btw, the fellow at RADA (I bought a poster there) thought the 4 Enchanted Evenings were cancelled because they were having trouble selling tickets--price too high even for the well-heeled it would seem! So, those who'll be in London in March when this event is supposed to be rescheduled, check it out--maybe you'll see a price decrease!

As the articles are in German, here is what they roughly say:
At the American Film Market, where patent rights for movies are being traded and which took place November 3rd, a German movie distributor announced they were going to make “The Perfum” by Patrik Süßkind into a movie. Tom Tykwers is going to direct (he also directed “Lola rennt” - a movie with Franka Potente - I think the English title was Run Lola Run or Lola run or sth like that) and Bernd Eichinger (Downfall: Hitler and the End of the Third Reich, 2004) is going to produce. Up to know, it was not clear who was going to play the leading role of Grenouille but Constantin Film announced it would be Ben Whishaw and they also said Dustin Hoffmann and Alan Rickman would also be in. Alas, no contracts have been signed yet. The screenplay is being written right now and according to the producer, shooting starts next year.

BACK IT LIKE BECKHAM..

David & Wills TV Games bid
By Ben Todd Showbiz Editor
DAVID Beckham, Prince William and Tony Blair are to star together on the big screen in an advert for Londons Olympic bid.
The England soccer captain and the popular royal are just two of the names who have agreed to appear in a promotional film to be shown in cinemas around the country that will support the capitals bid to win the 2012 games.
Real Madrids Becks and actress Helen Mirren have already filmed their parts for the short feature.
Wills, the Prime Minister plus Brit actors Hugh Grant and Alan Rickman and even Robbie Williams are also expected to take part.
As well as being shown in cinemas, most importantly, the film will feature prominently when British Olympic bid leader Lord Sebastian Coe appears in front of the International Olympic Committees Evaluation Commission to present a detailed report on the bid in spring.
Last night, a campaign insider revealed: This is an absolutely huge coup for the Olympic bid.
ŅThe IOC will be hugely impressed when they see the likes of Becks, Wills, Hugh and Helen appearing in the film.
Becks scenes in the flick were filmed last month. It sees him sitting on a bench in the city, reading a newspaper. He suddenly puts the newspaper down as a woman who has whizzed across the capital sweeps past him.
The source revealed: It is a huge coup to get Becks Š especially considering he now plays for one of our main rivals.
London is battling it out with Paris, New York, Moscow and Madrid. The French capital is the slight favourite at the moment but ministers are hoping to overtake its bid. And they believe the film could provide a crucial boost to the British campaign.
People all around the world love David Beckham and Prince William.
Their appearance in the film really could tip the balance Londons way, the source added.
Speaking of his support for the bid, Becks said: It would be great if the Games came to Britain where the people really appreciate their sport.
Holding the Olympic football tournament throughout the UK will be a huge benefit to the game and enable thousands of people around the country to be directly involved in the Olympics.
Lord Coe will submit the detailed plan for the Olympic bid next Monday. The film will be shown when he formally presents it to the IOC Evaluation Commission next February or March.
The winning bid will be announced by IOC President Jack Rogge on July 6 next year.

Accompanying article to Vogue photo:
"Come Saturday, the celebs are a little less happy. The shoot has now relocated to Chiswick Town Hall, and upstairs in the Green Room large fans seem ineffectual against the heat. It's midday, Sophie Dahl has been here since 7:30am, and she has yet to be photographed. "I wouldn't mind but I only got in from New York late last night so would have loved a lie-in," she politely complains. Alan Rickman has a stinking cold and is not in the best of moods. Unclear about his costume, he is threatening to go home. "I was told a suit," he says firmly. "Now they're saying pyjamas." His humour returns, however once the ideas behind the shoot have been explained. He settles for a dressing gown - "as long as I can wear my sunglasses and no slippers" - and poses with model Fanni Bostrum, smiling sweetly in an oversized Cheshire Cat suit."

STARS TO SHINE FOR AUTISM CHARITY
By Dan Webber, Community Newswire
SHOWBIZ Stars London, Today, 4:26pm
A galaxy of stars including Hollywood actors Alan Rickman, Emilia Fox and Robert Powell are set to sparkle at a Christmas concert held to raise vital funds for the UK's leading autism charity, it emerged today.
Fellow actors Sian Phillips, Martin Jarvis and Celia Imrie and broadcaster Gaby Roslin have also agreed to attend the seasonal event in support of the National Autistic Society (NAS).
The Stars Shine for Autism Christmas Concert will this year be held on December 13 in the beautiful and atmospheric surroundings of St John's, Smith Square, Westminster.
NAS supporter and concert host Gaby Roslin said: ""The NAS Christmas Concert is a great way to get into the seasonal spirit, enjoying the readings and wonderful singing of the Nonsuch Singers, while helping to raise much-needed funds for the NAS.
"Christmas is a time when people come together to celebrate and communicate with one another, so what better time to help those with autism, a lifelong developmental disability that affects the way a person communicates and relates to other people around them.
"It's going to be a memorable night which will help to support the thousands of families affected by autism in the UK today."
The evening will include readings of festive poetry and prose by celebrity special guests and unforgettable music.
More than 535,000 people are affected by autism in the UK and people with autism require specialist services and support throughout their lives.
The NAS runs schools and adult services that offer flexible support, alongside a helpline and other information services.
The NAS Christmas Concert is just one of many events organised by the NAS fundraising team each year.
To attend the Stars Shine for Autism Christmas Concert call the event's ticket hotline on 020 7903 3529.

The Empire poll was the top still working, still living over 50 year old actors.
Here is Sky's report(What's with the surprise??):

Empire magazine editor Colin Kennedy said: "I don't think this list is a bad reflection of British acting talent.
"It reflects the fact that American actors are dominant in the movies."
He added: "It is a bit of a surprise to find that Michael Caine isn't in the list. He's would definitely be in my top 30."

HEADLINE: Go east, sweet senior prince Yukio Ninagawa is coming to the Barbican to direct Michael Maloney as the oldest Hamlet in living memory. Actor and director talk to Jasper Rees
BYLINE: by JASPER REES
Before the first preview of a new production of Hamlet, the company manager strode on to the stage of the Theatre Royal Plymouth to make an announcement. He explained that the actor Michael Maloney had torn a muscle in his leg. He would therefore play the part of Hamlet with the aid of a walking stick. This was on medical advice and not, he added, "a directorial decision".
Maloney would not have been the most senior Hamlet in living memory when he was initially invited, in 2001, by the internationally eminent Japanese director Yukio Ninagawa to take on the role. But the autumn of 2004 turned out to be the earliest window in Ninagawa's diary for mounting the play. And, thus, towards the end of a long wait, Maloney edged past the high-water mark left by Alan Rickman, who was 46 when he played the melancholy Dane at the Riverside Studios in 1992.
Hamlet's age is not specified. Conventionally thought to be anywhere between 18 and 30, he is more often played by the over-30s, though not usually by the over-40s. Maloney is more than twice the age of both Ben Whishaw, 23, who played the Prince of Denmark in Trevor Nunn's recent production at the Old Vic, and of the 21-year-old Japanese actor in Ninagawa's Tokyo production last year. But then Maloney has long been a youthful-looking actor who even now doesn't look a day over 40. "I have great faith in hairdye," he says the morning after the first night before.
. . . . . . . . . .
Hamlet is a touring production at Lighthouse, Poole, Oct 19-23; King's Theatre, Edinburgh, Oct 26-30; the Lowry, Salford, Nov 2-6; and the Barbican Theatre (0845 120 7500) Nov 10-27

An article in yesterday's Telegraph mag about the new film directed by actor Charles Dance "Ladies in Lavender" with Maggie Smith and Judi Dench. It's written in the form of a diary, the relevant bit runs:
"London, July 10, 2003. Took this evening off for a party at Hilary Heath's (producer, friend, and the ex-wife of Duncan Heath, head of my London agent ICM). As ever, a good crowd of the usual suspects were there, all of whom seemed to know more about the preparations for my film than I did. Alan Rickman sidled up to me at one point and in that languid drawl of his said 'Charles, I hear you're going to direct a film.'
,I'm trying to, Alan,' I replied.
'Let me give you a piece of advice.' I hadn't asked for any, but let him proffer it nevertheless; 'Have a party halfway through the shoot. It's good for company morale.' There was I thinking I was about to here something profoundly clarifying about the relative merits of geared heads or his preference for a particular size of lens. Bless him. Of course I'll have a party."
Can Fast Film or anyone please explain "geared heads"?
And is anyone else thinking, hmm, what was I doing 10th July last year? LOL.

HEADLINE: The book that slowly cast a spell
SOURCE: Yorkshire Post
Susanna Clarke, whose debut novel Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell was tipped as a Booker Prize favourite before it was even published, tells Sarah Freeman why good things comes to those who wait.
IT wasn't exactly a rushed job.
In between working full-time at a publishers, Susanna Clarke spent 10 years crafting her debut novel, never quite sure when it would be finished and whether any one would want to read it when it was.
She needn't have worried. Before the final Is had been dotted and the Ts crossed on Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell the publicity machine had already begun to whir, it was included on the Man Booker longlist and the woman who previously earned a living as a cookery book editor was suddenly in demand.
Even Susanna admits that a decade is a long time to spend on anything, "except building a cathedral, growing a garden or educating a child", but having just returned from a whistlestop tour of America, where her novel is residing quite comfortably in the New York Times bestsellers list, she is having to come to terms with her previously unknown name being mentioned in the same breath as JK Rowling, Jane Austen and Charles Dickens.
. . . . . . . . . .
Before most readers had got to the end of the book rumours of a film adaptation were already circulating. Nothing has been finalised, but the prospect of who would make the ultimate Jonathan Strange and Mr Norell has at least made interesting dinner party conversation for Susanna's friends.
"I've tried not to mentally cast the film as I think you set yourself up for all sorts of disappointments," she says. "But I know friends have discussed it and when we were out in America it was a constant source of conversation. Alan Rickman's name kept coming up, although no one could decide which character he would be best to play, may be he could do all three.
"My feeling is that any adaptation would be very different from the book. Film is something of which I have no experience, but I would like to be involved in some capacity, even if it's just to say, 'No I'm not sure the character would do that'".
While Alan Rickman may not yet have been approached, what is certain is that readers should not have to wait another 10 years for the second book in the series. "I'm not sure I'd quite describe it as a sequel, but it's definitely in the same world," she says. "People keep asking questions about what will happen, but I'm keeping quiet.

Hi All,
OK I told you I would let you know if I got a reply and here is a reply from Jack Binder who was the producer of the film "The Search for John Gissing".
It looks like we may need to start a new petition and get many more signatures, I will reply to him and tell him we can do that if it would help.
Dear Sheena
I cannot tell you how much we appreciate your efforts and enthusiasm for the film and its release.
This is a quick reply and I will discuss in more detail as I am able.
Again we greatly appreciate your efforts and this may be a valueable tool in helping to obtain distribution.
Please let your contacts know how appreciated this all is and we are doing everything we can to obtain distribution.
Please know it is not just a matter of our desire or our financial ability. This is a decision by distributors to spend millions of dollars to secure, promote and market a film. Those able to distribute a film are a small lot.
If we could distribute this film - we certainly would.
Until such time as a distributor elects to commit to the multi-million dollar cost of distributing this film, our hands are tied.
Many thanks for your efforts and perhaps this may be useful in convincing a distributor.
While your efforts are grand, and it seems a large number, in actuality this is a small number, while it demonstrates an interest in the film, it does not represent a financial return market. That would entail a number perhaps in the high hundreds of thousands and even that is not something that would necessarily convince a distributor.
The best route actually is for us to keep making quality films and to enhance our profile and marketability. At that time a distributor will take notice of this quality film.
Many thanks again and please know your petition is in the correct hands.
Jack

Welsh film director Marc Evans has bagged Hollywood heavyweight Sigourney Weaver to star in his next project.
The Cardiff director, who first made his name with House of America, leap-frogged agents to ask the Alien star face-to-face if she would work with him in Snow Cake.
Marc, 45, met Sigourney in New York after Alan Rickman, who also stars in Snow Cake, engineered the rendezvous.
Marc, whose movie Trauma with Colin Firth is now showing, admits he was scared of being turned down: 'The agents don't want you to meet the actors face-to- face.'

MARC EVANS
Director
'I LIKE making films that I'd like to see myself,' says Marc Evans. 'I like watching dark films and I'm attracted to that kind of material.' It makes you wonder what is in his DVD collection. Evans has directed four films, all of them mix elements of horror and chilling psychology. His biggest hit to date, My Little Eye , took the concept of the reality television show to frightening new levels as a group of teenagers living in an isolated house are killed one by one. The Welsh director's latest film, Trauma, was less successful but his next will be his most ambitious yet, with Alan Rickman and Sigourney Weaver starring in Snow Cake as a drifter and a high-functioning autistic who begin a relationship. 'In every film I've made, at the end somebody dies and somebody walks,' he says. 'But this one will finish a bit more hopefully.' AO
