Felicity Jones and Eddie Redmayne proved to be quite a team with The Theory of Everything, and now they’re back as principal photography has started on The Aeronauts.
Anderson Cowan and I used to do random movie picks during the early days of CinemAddicts, and now for my site I’ll be spotlighting Blu-rays and DVDs that are worth your attention. First up is The Lodgers, a Gothic mansion thriller that I absolutely love.
I’ll be coordinating much more DVD and Blu-ray giveaways on Deepest Dream, and with that in mind I’m giving away One (1) Sealed, never used DVD of Resistance. Film stars Michael Sheen (Masters of Sex), Tom Wlaschiha, Iwan Rheon (Game of Thrones), and Andrea Riseborough (Birdman, Oblivion). Entry details below!!
Known to millions of Game of Thrones fans as the fearless wildling warrior Ygritte, Rose Leslie traverses new ground with the psychological thriller Honeymoon. The narrative focuses on Paul and Bea (Penny Dreadful’s Harry Treadaway, Leslie), newlyweds who spend their honeymoon at Bea’s family cabin. With a nearby lake and seclusion as their bedside companions, the pair are ready for several days of pure bliss.
Their loving bond breaks when a nighttime venture into the woods leaves Bea a physically and emotionally changed woman. Not only does she forget how to cook French toast for breakfast (a worried Paul takes over food duties), Bea furtively continues to write her own name in a notebook. Directed by Leigh Janiak, Honeymoon is a tense, atmospheric, and ultimately scary journey into a once loving couple’s gradual undoing.
During the Honeymoon interviews (I will post a review of Honeymoon as well as other features on the film in the near future), I asked Rose Leslie about Game of Thrones and getting the chance to utter the iconic and much beloved line “You know nothing Jon Snow!” I also, in relation to Honeymoon, asked if she makes a better French Toast than Mr. Treadaway. Her response is below:
“First and foremost, I make the best French Toast. Secondly, I feel incredibly privileged and extremely humbled to be part of such a global phenomenon that is Game of Thrones. I had an utter blast for the three seasons that I was on it. And I feel so much warmth and admiration to the loyal and passionate fans and I love that they enjoy the catchphrase and they love that catchphrase. It’s a huge privilege to have been a part of it. It really is.”

Peter Dinklage, known to Game of Thrones enthusiasts as the resourceful Tyrion Lannister, plays Dr. Trask, a scientist who becomes the biggest threat to the mutants (and eventually all of humanity) in X-Men: Days of Future Past.
“He really believes he is doing the right thing to save humankind,” said Dinklage, whose previous films include In Bruges and The Station Agent. “At the same time, in this time of the Vietnam War, one of the worst wars in our recent history – I guess they’re all really bad wars – he thinks this is an opportunity to bring the world together.”

To portray his 1970s based character, Dinklage didn’t have to dig too deep for his research. “I just saw some old pictures of my dad and his friends at the time, that’s where the look comes from,” joked the Emmy award winning actor.
