Breaking: in what seems like a major rewrite, Christopher Nolan has drastically altered the encounter between Odysseus and the Lotus Eaters in his adaptation of the Odyssey. It turns out they will not eat the mythical lots fruit but instead a more common modern one, promoting odysseys to ask his men "how do you like dem apples?"
Hunger (2008) is a harrowing dive into the Northern Ireland prison struggle. Michael Fassbender’s transformative performance is unforgettable, especially in the infamous 10-minute single-take scene that sears itself into memory.
Daniel Day-Lewis says Brian Cox has dragged him into the debate over Method acting.
“I worked with Brian Cox once and got somehow drawn into this handbags-at-dawn conflict inadvertently. Brian is a very fine actor who’s done extraordinary work. As a result, he’s been given a soapbox… which he shows no sign of climbing down from. Any time he wants to talk about it, I’m easy to find...

I choose to stay and splash around, rather than jump in and out or play practical jokes with whoopee cushions between takes or whatever people think is how you should behave as an actor.”
