Lara Pulver photo finds

Just found some nice photos of Lara Pulver at some events.

first of all here are some photos captioned "Actress Lara Pulver attends The Paley Center presents Inside Parade: The True Story That Inspired The Tony-Winning Musicalat The Paley Center for Media on September 21, 2009 in Beverly Hills, California."







And here are some from last year captioned "Lara Pulver arrives for the Laurence Olivier Awards 2008 at Grosvenor House on March 9, 2008 in London, England."

Small Island tie-in cover plus broadcast date

This week sees the publication of the Small Island tie-in edition and a cover has finally turned up online. As I hoped Ruth Wilson is on the cover. In fact the cover image mirrors the photo on the earlier editions but this time substitutes the actresses. So here's the cover:


The tie-in book was officially published on 17 September 2009 and Amazon UK seems to have the best price at the moment.


According to today's Times newspaper Small Island will be on the BBC in "early November". Also Jane Austen's Emma will be on in "early October".

Christina Cole in BBC's Emma

Huh. I didn't realise it had been so long since my last post. I guess I've had a lot on my mind...

Anyway, today I found this very high quality photo of Christina Cole in the upcoming BBC adaptation of Jane Austen's Emma. The photo was found on the shootastic site where there are many photos of the other cast members.

BBC Emma tie-in edition

File this under "just spotted on Amazon". Here is the cover of the new tie-in edition of Emma by Jane Austen. The book is due for publication on 17 September 2009 so I assume the new BBC adaptation will be shown not too long after that date.

Rebecca Hall in Total Film

Just bought the new issue (October 2009) of Total Film today and was pleased to discover a three page article on Rebecca Hall inside. As I mentioned yesterday her new movie The Picture of Dorian Gray is coming out soon. Enjoy the scans!

Late August Trivia

I thought I would do an update covering all the random trivia that I don't want to cover individually.

Summer television is usually a bit rubbish as there is rarely anything new on. However the BBC broke this trend to give us the six-part Desperate Romantics which ended last night. At first I wasn't too sure if I would be interested in the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood but the show turned out to be good fun and I quite enjoyed it's irreverence.

Special mention must be made of Amy Manson who played the tragic Lizzie Siddal and Jennie Jacques who played Annie Miller. I had never seen either of those actresses before and I was completely won over by them.

It looks like the DVD will be out next month.

By the way, there are high quality promo photos at http://musearchives.net/shootastic/index.php

Wuthering Heights finally crawls onto TV here after what has become the normal ITV delay. The new issue of the TV Times does the requisite swooning over Tom Hardy and proclaims the show a "staggering success".

Ruth Wilson will be back on the BBC in Small Island which I have mentioned before once or twice. I believe it will be on soon.

I went to see GI Joe in the cinema, mainly because Rachel Nichols is in it. When I got there the showing was canceled for technical reasons. I've not got around to going again. Not much of an anecdote but it give me an excuse to include a photo of Rachel as Scarlett.

A new move of Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray is imminent and Penguin have put out a new edition of the novel with the movie art. I mention it because Rebecca Hall is on the cover. If you look closely you can just make her out.


Finally I have got to mention the Star Trek DVD on the German Amazon site. It comes in a box shaped as the USS Enterprise! You open up the saucer section to get at the disks! How cool is that!

Diane Kruger in French Elle magazine

Yet another Kruger find for my collection.

Earlier this week I spotted a single copy of French Elle in a newsagents with Diane on the cover so I thought "mais oui!"

Here's a quick scan of the cover. Inside are 20 pages of Kruger goodness.
