5 reasons Sherlock fans should be excited about Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch)

METRO
16 April, 2016

We’re very excited about the debut trailer for Doctor Strange starring Benedict Cumberbatch that appeared online in the wee small hours of Wednesday morning.

Comic book blockbusters are a dime a dozen these days, but we think this one is going to be rather special – especially for Sherlock fans.

Here are five links between the Marvel movie and the world of Holmes that have us excited for both this film, and future films from the studio.

1. Benedict Cumberbatch

Obviously. Best get this one out of the way first. Both Sherlock and Doctor Strange share a supremely talented actor in their leading man. But you knew that already, right?

There are plenty of differences between the characters, but also plenty of similarities too, hopefully making this new role a mix of exciting new dimensions but also familiar quirks for Benedict to get his teeth into.



2. Strange the investigator

No guarantees this will actually happen in the film of course, but one of the main traits of the character, apart from being Sorceror Supreme and Master of the Mystic Arts, is how often he is called upon to investigate phenomena that take a turn for the… well, strange. Doctor

Stephen Strange may have once been a surgeon, but in the pages of the Marvel comic books in which he stars and makes guest appearances he finds himself sometimes evoking a certain famous consulting detective to solve mysteries that other Marvel heroes are at a loss to explain.

3. Mads Mikkelsen

It’s still unknown just who he is playing, but the former Hannibal Lecter is apparently the leading bad guy in the film version of Doctor Strange. He also has a couple of links to the BBC series – chiefly, his brother Lars played Sherlock’s most repellent foe thus far in the form of Charles Augustus Magnussen in the third series of the show.

But also he was Le Chiffre, the first opponent for Daniel Craig’s James Bond in 2006’s Casino Royale – a film that was scored by David Arnold. Who we all know and love as one half of the composing team behind Sherlock.

Luke Evans: 4 Clips and Nearly 4 Minutes of Behind-the-Scenes Footage from THE RAVEN by Adam Chitwood (COLLIDER)

We’ve been provided with four clips and almost four minutes of behind-the-scenes-footage from director James McTeigue’s (V for Vendetta) thriller The Raven to share with our readers. The film stars John Cusack as Edgar Allen Poe, and follows the author as he teams up with a detective (Luke Evans) in order to catch a killer who is modeling his crimes after Poe’s stories. It’s certainly an intriguing premise and Cusack isn’t one for phoning it in, so I’m hoping we’re in for a solid thriller with some nice surprises.

Films To Watch Before You Die # 25 - In Bruges (2008) (Flickering Myth)

D.J. Haza presents the next entry in his series of films to watch before you die...
In Bruges, 2008.

Directed by Martin McDonagh.
Starring Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson, Clémence Poésy and Ralph Fiennes.

In Bruges is a black comedy crime film written and directed by award winning playwright Martin McDonagh. The films follows Ray (Farrell) and Ken (Gleeson), two hitmen hiding out in the small town of Bruges, Belgium after a hit goes wrong. Sent there to hide by their boss Harry (Fiennes) they have conflicting ideas of what they should do with their time, Ken wants to explore the culture and Ray hates everything.

As the two of them hide out it becomes evident that they are in hiding due to Ray accidentally killing a child during only his first hit. Withdrawn and wracked with guilt Ray questions his actions and Ken begins to question his own choice of life path. In trying to hide his guilt Ray goes on a date with an attractive local, Chloe (Clemence Poesy), but it turns out that her and her boyfriend make a habit of robbing tourists. Ray also ends up in a drug-fuelled party with a racist dwarf actor, Jimmy (Jordan Prentice), who is taking part in a film shooting locally.

When the call they have been waiting for finally comes from Harry, Ken is instructed that this was a way for Ray to see something nice before he is punished for killing the child. Ken must kill Ray. Now carrying his own guilt Ken approaches Ray with gun in hand, but finds Ray about to commit suicide and stops him. Ken sends Ray away on a train to change his life, but no sooner had he left than Ray returns to Bruges. Harry is furious at Ken disobeying his orders and makes his own way to Bruges to kill the pair of them.

In Bruges is a brilliantly dark and comical tale of remorse and life reflection, but is also so funny and full of brilliant moments that will have you chuckling. Ray’s disdain at being cooped up in Bruges is hilarious as he constantly berates the town, it’s people and even overweight American tourists planning to climb a small and winding tower.

In Bruges is a film you must see before you die because Martin McDonagh is a fantastic writer and his transition from theatre to film has been a great success so far. His original screenplay for the film earned him a BAFTA and his previous short film Six Shooter, which is absolutely amazing, earned him an Oscar for Best Short Film a few years previous. McDonagh is a man to watch in film and I eagerly await his next project.
