  • Tom Hiddleston Strips Nude in “Crimson Peak,” Stephen Colbert Questions It

    Tom Hiddleston chatted about his role in Crimson Peak while a guest on The Late Show Friday night, and Colbert made sure to bring up Hiddleston’s nude scene.

    “We do not see the ladies in this movie showing their kibbles and bits, but we do get to see your…English countryside,” Stephen Colbert noted.

    Calling Crimson Peak a Gothic romance, Hiddleston insisted that means the inclusion of love, death, sex, and violence.

    “I don’t know how anyone else has sex,” Tom Hiddleston said. “As far as I understand it if you keep your pants on it’s not gonna work.”

    Colbert chimed in, saying this was why Victorians were so repressed.

    Crimson Peak’s director Guillermo del Toro was on hand for the conversation, too, which was hilarious.

    Crimson Peak stars Mia Wasikowska, who plays aspiring novelist Edith Cushing. After she falls for Tom Hiddleston’s brooding character Thomas Sharpe, the two leave turn-of-the-century New York for the far spookier climes of his ancestral home in the north of England. All too soon Edith encounters ghosts of the past, though it’s the very present tense threat posed by her sister-in-law Lucille (played by Jessica Chastain) that poses the greatest danger to her. Wandering the haunted halls of the crumbling mansion, Edith suspects that the siblings are harboring some disturbing secrets that could wind up dedadly.

    Tom Hiddleston compares Crimson Peak to another Giullermo del Toro film, The Devil’s Backbone.

    “Guillermo’s explanation of the supernatural is made very clear in [that film],” Hiddleston says. “He says, ‘What is a ghost? A tragedy condemned to repeat itself time and again, an instant of pain, something dead which seems to be alive.’ I remember it really struck me. There’s a twin line in Crimson, which is Lucille’s, which is, ‘The horror was for love, love makes monsters of us all.’”

    Will you be checking out Crimson Peak? It opened in theaters nationwide on Friday.

    You can be sure Stephen Colbert will visit the box office or score some Fandango tickets. After all, Tom Hiddleston has that nude scene.

  • Jessica Chastain Appears in New Trailer for Horror Film ‘Crimson Peak’

    Jessica Chastain appears in a new trailer for the upcoming horror film Crimson Peak.

    Set in a three story Victorian mansion on an abandoned lot, the haunted house in Crimson Peak seemingly takes on a mind of its own, replete with demonic voices, shadowy figures, and creepy sounds emerging from every corner. Lady Lucille Sharpe (played by Jessica Chastain) and her questionable intentions are highlighted in the trailer as she tells Edith (played by Mia Wasikowska) to avoid certain parts of the spooky home.

    In addition to Jessica Chastain and Mia Wasikowska, director Guillermo del Toro has cast Sons of Anarchy’s Charlie Hunnam and Tom Hiddleston in the horror flick.

    Even Stephen King believes the film is worthy of those who love horror.

    In addition to Crimson Peak, Jessica Chastain is known for her work in films including The Help and Interstellar.

    Will you be checking out Mia Wasikowska, Charlie Hunnam, Tom Hiddleston, and Jessica Chastain when Crimson Peak opens in theaters in October?

    Given that Crimson Peak received Stephen King’s endorsement, it might well be the best horror flick to hit theaters during the Halloween season in a long time.

  • Helena Bonham Carter Is Set To Join “Alice In Wonderland” Sequel

    Well, it is no surprise that if there was going to be a sequel to Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland, it would involve Helena Bonham Carter. She will return to reprise her role as the Red Queen.

    The big difference in the sequel, Through The Looking Glass, will be that Tim Burton is no longer involved. However, both Helena Bonham Carter and Johnny Depp, his two most frequent collaborators, will be returning.

    Through The Looking Glass is the sequel to the book that was written by Lewis Carroll, and follows the events of the 2010 film, which is returning its important cast members. In addition to Depp and Carter, Mia Wasikowska will also be returning to play the role of Alice.

    Helena Bonham Carter is getting set to play the evil Red Queen once again, as final negotiations are being conducted for the upcoming Disney film, according to Variety.

    In the case of the sequel, with Tim Burton out of the picture, James Bobin, who recently made Muppets: Most Wanted, will be directing the film. Joe Roth will return as the producer. Linda Woolverton, who also scripted Burton’s Alice in Wonderland, is currently working on the script.

    The sequel has big shoes to fill after the success of the first film. In 2010, Alice In Wonderland grossed more than a billion dollars at the worldwide box office, including $334 million at the domestic box office.

    In addition to Through The Looking Glass, Helena Bonham Carter has a few other projects coming up in the next couple of years. She is set to play the Fairy Godmother in another Disney adaptation of Cinderella, and Suffragette, a film with Carey Mulligan and Meryl Streep.

    Prior to the film’s release plot details are being kept secret. However, fans can expect to see Helena Bonham Carter tormenting the young Alice again on May 27, 2016. This means that production could start as early as the end of this year.

    Despite the film keeping the plot details secret, if it is to stick closely with the events of the book, the film should follow Alice as she enters a mysterious parallel universe after stepping through the mirror hanging above her fireplace.

  • Mia Wasikowska Crosses the Outback in ‘Tracks’ Trailer

    With the summer blockbusters now behind us, studios are now packing theaters with their Oscar nominee hopefuls. Movie such as The Wolf of Wall Street and Dallas Buyers Club will be sharing theater space with winter blockbusters such as The Hobbit.

    One of the award season hopefuls that has been quietly making its way around the festival circuit is an Australian movie titled Tracks. The movie is an adaptation of a memoir by the same name that chronicles the journey of travel writer Robyn Davidson as she treks 1,700 miles across the Australian outback.

    The movie was shot on location in Australia and directed by John Curran. Curran is best known for his well-received indie films Praise and We Don’t Live Here Anymore.

    The first full trailer for Tracks was released this week. The preview shows that Wasikowska will be alone on screen much of the time, and that See-Saw Films (one of the studios behind The King’s Speech) is shooting for another Oscar winner:
