Hiddles News

Okay guys, I am extremely sorry for the lack of updates.

Long story short, my laptop needed to be fixed but problems got on top of problems and I ended up not having any computer for an entire month (it still not fixed but I got my old laptop back). Bad timing since the Avengers release is so close. So that’s the reason why I haven’t posted anything even with all the promos and stuff going around.

But I’m back again now and after deleting the 2354 emails I got during this month (that’s the actual number, not a figure of speech), I’m now able to get some news again and I will try to get this blog and the two others up and running asap.

In the latest issue of SFX Magazine, Tom Hiddleston has opened up to them about his role as Loki in The Avengers, talking about how his character has evolved since the ending of Thor. He also talks about Loki’s methods towards fighting each Avenger. Read his comments below:

“There is a personal engine but it’s behind a degree of megalomania. When you see Loki let go of that spear at the end of Thor, he lets go of Asgard, he lets go of Asgard and his need for that place and his attachment and need for the affection and respect of Odin and his brother. As he disappears in that wormhole, that’s a literal way of saying, “I’m done. Asgard is gone and I have other things to do.” At the beginning of The Avengers, you see the beginnings of what Loki is planning and if he doesn’t belong in Asgard, where might he belong? In that tragic place of confusion of “Where do I belong in this universe?” Loki’s answer is “I will make myself belong”, which dark and menacing and dangerous.

“I think Loki is very flexible and adaptable to the present context. With each Avenger, he faces a different threat, a different strategy and methodology. Some pose more of a threat than others in his mind, but they all have their own unique superpowers. I say it’s like tennis. You’ll never play the same game of tennis with a new and different opponent. The magic happens in the space between you, not just with the characters but the actors too.”

For those in Europe or for people who can read zone 2 dvds, the blue ray is available for pre order on amazon UK (I haven’t seen the DVD yet)

click on the grey thingy for a nice picture :)

I would like to thank arianka for sending me this link. It’s 1h15 long, and Tom’s part comes around 39:40min. But I would recommend you to listen to the all thing ‘cause it’s great.

Okay, I know it’s not an Academy award but it’s still a nomination so I hope he wins.

The Saturn awards honors people, movies and TV show in science fiction, fantasy and horror genders.

Tom is nominated for Best Supporting Actor in Thor alongside Ralph Fiennes (Harry Potter), Harrison Ford (Cobow and Aliens), Alan Rickman (Harry Potter), Andy Serkis (Rise of the Planet of the Apes) and Stanley Tucci (Captain America).

I personally hope that if Tom doesn’t win, he will be Andy Serkis, who did an amazing work on Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

Midnight in Paris was nominated for Best Fantasy movie, War Horse as also been nominated for Best action/adventure movie, Woddy Allen was nominated for Best Writting for Midnight in Paris, John Williams for Best Music (War Horse), Bo Welch for Best Production Design (Thor) and Alexandra Byrne for Best Costumes (Thor).

Some people were affraid Tom wouldn’t be able to do Winter’s Tale since he was cast in both Only Loves Left Alive and Black Wings Have my Angel but apparently, he should be able to do all of them (well, we all know he can make a lot of movies the same years) if he is cast. The studio will hold a deal test next week in New York for him, Benjamin Walker and a few other male actors. Hopefully, we should know if he does the movie or not, not long after the test.

Lily Collins, Bella Hearthcote and Jessica Brown Findlay should have their deal test during the week on March 2 for the leading female role.

Now, to avoid some confusion, this is NOT Shakespeare’s play. This is an entirely different story.

A sweeping drama about reincarnation, the story is set in the early 20th century and focuses on a thief on the run who, when breaking into a wealthy man’s home, strikes up a relationship with the man’s terminally ill daughter.  A flying horse and a time-shift 100 years also figures into the equation.

The movie will also feature Russel Crowe as a mobster and a cameo of Will Smith as a judge.

I had huge fun with Chris Evans, as Captain America, because super-soldier though he may be, he’s still a man, up against a God who in his own mind is infinitely superior. Then, in the ring with The Hulk, we’ve got this silver tongued, lightening quick mind up against the embodiment of rage… Loki has this mercurial, transformative ability, not just physically but intellectually, so not all the fights are purely physical. Mind games? Maybe..

Sadly, Tom didn’t won the Rising Star award (apparently, but I didn’t see it ‘cause I thought the award was starting at 9) but we all know the competition was really had this year and they all deserved to have it.

But to be fair, everyone who look back at 2011 can honestly say Tom doesn’t need any award to be one of the most brilliant (and hard working) actor in Great Britain. I mean, he worked with some of the most famous and acclaimed directors in the space of one year when other actors would kill to work with any of them in their entire career. So don’t feel upset guys, cause we all know he’s brilliant, directors know he’s brilliant, the entire industry knows his brilliant and an Rising Star award won’t change that.
