Crimson Peak Trailer

We officially have goose bumps!

In a newly released trailer of the horror flick Crimson Peak, the clip starts out in a dimly lit room with a trembling young girl who fears what may come out of the dark.


Mia Wasikowska portrays Edith, who grows up to be an aspiring author, torn between the love of an old friend and the romantic temptation of Sir Thomas Sharpe (Tom Hiddleston). As Edith tries to escape the ghosts of her traumatic past, she becomes captive to a house that bleeds the truth.
"You see where I come from, ghosts are not to be taken lightly," the Thor star warns.

Director Guillermo del Toro's star-studded cast includes Sons of Anarchy's Charlie Hunnam and Jessica Chastain, both adding elements to a thriller that will surely leave viewers on the edge of their seats.

'Crimson Peak' Spoilers: Charlie Hunnam Says 'Beautiful' Tom Hiddleston Film Is Guillermo Del Toro's Best

FASHION AND STYLE

We officially have less than six months before Guillermo del Toro's "Crimson Peak" hits theaters, and with every crumb of information we get about the gothic horror we can't help but feel more and more excited. The latest, provided by star Charlie Hunnam to Details, is no exception:


It's beautiful, it's him absolutely in his wheelhouse. It's a classic Gothic romance set against a backdrop of this very rural house in the middle of nowhere. Everybody did a great job, Jessica [Chastain] absolutely killed it, she's wonderful in the film. I think it's one of Guillermo's best films, if not maybe his best film. 


I'm actually not really in it that much, it's really Mia Wasikowska, Jessica, and Tom Hiddleston's film, and when I'm in it, it's significant, but I really just did it because I love Guillermo and wanted to work with him again. If it had been anybody else, I probably wouldn't have taken the role. I had to turn down a lot other stuff to be free to do that. People were like, "What the f**k are you doing?" but I'm doing exactly what I damn well please. That's my answer.

When Does Tom Hiddleston's 'Crimson Peak' Come Out? You'll Be Waiting a Long Time For the Film's Perfection

BUSTLE

6 HOURS AGO ENTERTAINMENT



It seems like it’s been so long since fans have gotten to see Tom Hiddleston on the big screen. Thor 2 came out a whole year ago now, but, luckily, the actor’s had a busy year full of filming for various projects. So when can we expect to see Hiddleston’s latest movie Crimson Peak? Unfortunately, not for awhile. Director Guillermo Del Toro is being a perfectionist and, though the movie wrapped filming early last summer, it won’t be released until October 2015.

I’m sad that Hiddlestoners have to wait another year to see the actor on the big screen, especially since Crimson Peak sounds awesome. Hiddleston plays the sinister husband in the “anti-romance” flick, and I want that now — not a year from now.



Fans had held onto hope that we’d at least get a trailer soon, but Del Toro has dashed those dreams as well. Speaking to the Franchise Herald, he talked about how he’s taking his sweet time when it comes to putting out a preview for the film.

Well, since we have the luxury of time because the movie doesn’t come out until October next year… originally, I was going to deliver it in December, and I’d been able to try different things, different cuts, tweak the effects, tweak the music, probably more than any movie I’ve ever done. I have the license now to deliver the movie in January or February. It’s frankly addictive to have that much time.

'Crimson Peak' News: 2015 Tom Hiddleston, Charlie Hunnam Film Is 'Looking Good,' Got Great Response At Screening — Will We See A Trailer Soon?

FASHION & STYLE



We're still waiting to see the "Crimson Peak" trailer, narrated by star Tom Hiddleston, which aired at San Diego Comic-Con earlier this year, but we've gotten a few juicy tidbits about the film over the past few months.



For starters, it's the reason director Guillermo del Toro dropped out of Warner Bros. upcoming adaptation of "Beauty and the Beast".

"[Warner Bros.] have a deadline to meet with the project that completely intersects with my delivery of 'Crimson Peak'," del Toro explained. "And 'Crimson Peak' I cannot rush. I am probably the proudest of this movie of anything that I’ve ever done. I want to be very meticulous."


The director also offered up some information about the film Comic-Con.

"It’s a gothic romance," he said, just before introducing the trailer. "It’s R-rated. It has incredible beauty, but it’s also very violent." He later added that the movie will feature "scary ghosts, but scarier people than ghosts," and that he was glad for the opportunity to create a "great adult story for a female lead."



More recently, Charlie Hunnam, who plays Dr. Alan McMichael in "Crimson Peak" gave some insight into his character.

"Yeah, really different," he revealed, when asked if the role is a departure from the status quo for him. "It’s kind of a very sweet, shy, quiet, dorky dude who doesn’t get the girl."

Charlie Hunnam channels his Sons Of Anarchy character Jax Teller as he takes motorbike out for a spin

Anarchy: Charlie as Jax Teller in the TV show 

He has played rebel motorcycle gang leader Jax Teller on TV hit Sons Of Anarchy for six years.

And it's clear that his character's hobbies have rubbed off on Charlie Hunnam.

The 34-year-old British-born actor spent Sunday hanging out with his biker buddies in West Hollywood.




'The first season for me was a total write-off in terms of acting because I was completely consumed with trying to do the accent, which I'd never done before,' he told The Hollywood Reporter.

 'It really contained me and controlled me so that I wasn't free to make the moves I wanted to make as an actor. By midway through season two, I think I got that under control.' Starring in the acclaimed drama also propelled Hollywood producers to take notice - Charlie appeared in Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim last year, and teams up with the director again in horror flick Crimson Peak, to be released next month.


 'I think I'm a much better actor than I was at the beginning of the show,' he said 'It was like going to an Ivy League school with [Showrunner] Kurt Sutter being the mad professor that pushes us all to do our best work.

‘Sons of Anarchy’ Charlie Hunnam Beats ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ Jamie Dornan As ‘King Arthur’

INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS TIMES
By Riza Ornos | September 1, 2014 4:42 PM EST



Known as SAMCRO's president Jax Teller, "Sons of Anarchy" star Charlie Hunnam, is a top choice to play King Arthur in the upcoming six-series movie. Beating top contenders for the role including "Fifty Shades of Grey" replacement Jamie Dornan, Hunnam is close to signing the contract with director Guy Ritchie.

The sexy Irish actor reportedly returned the favour to Hunnam after scoring the role on E.L. James movie adaptation. Based on reports, Dornan removed himself out of the running for the epic movie as his scheduled clashed with his commitments with "Fifty Shades." Set to premiere on Valentine's Day 2015, the highly anticipated movie was dropped by the SOA star due his show's scheduling conflicts which is currently in its final season.



Poised to reprise his role as Raleigh Becket in Guillermo del Toro's summer hit sequel "Pacific Rim," the Newcastle-born actor is going to have a busy movie career after he wraps up "Sons of Anarchy." Playing one of the most iconic characters in film and English Literature, Hunnam is going to trade his Harley into an Excalibur.

"When you see Hunnam as Jax Teller leading the Sons into the final brutal revenge filled final season, I think you'll agree that he has all the intensity necessary to play King Arthur, and that this is a better post-Sons course for him than playing the S&M fetishist billionaire Christian Grey," Deadline's Mike Fleming Jr. exclusively reports. "A role that Sutter and I agreed is better suited to a newcomer than an established actor on the cusp of movie stardom."

Loki Tom Hiddleston New Horror Movie ‘Crimson Peak’ with ‘SOA’s’ Charlie Hunnam After ‘Justice League Dark’ and Aquaman Rumors

Tom Hiddleston

Well, it looks like Tom Hiddleston’s new horror movie Crimson Peak finally has a release date. The Loki actor is starring in the Guillermo del Toro movie alongside Sons of Anarchy star Charlie Hunnam.

Meanwhile, Hunnam may have a superhero movie of his own. Hunnam is fast becoming del Toro’s golden boy. Del Toro is currently working on a Justice League Dark movie. It is not too far a stretch to think that del Toro may take Hunnam with him to the Dark Universe. Meanwhile, many fans are calling for the actor to be cast as Aquaman in the new Batman vs Superman film.

The release date for Guillermo del Toro’s new kinky horror movie, Crimson Peak, has been announced. The film starring Tom Hiddleston and Charlie Hunnam opens on October 16, 2015.



Hiddleston is fast becoming one of the most sought after actors in Hollywood, however, the actor was chomping at the bit to work with del Toro. Hiddleston recently spoke to Slash Film about the pleasure:
“Guillermo’s an absolute omniscient about that particular genre of fiction, in literature, in cinema…His precision and passion...The script itself is bone chillingly terrifying. When I was reading it for the first time I had to get up and walk around the room, then sit down again because I was so scared. But it’s also so sophisticated. It’s actually a very mature film. It has a very sophisticated and adult sensibility that stems from what Guillermo sees as the root of all of this stuff, which is the gothic romance literature of the nineteenth century.”

Charlie Hunnam worked with del Toro in Pacific Rim. Hunnam recently spoke with E! News about working with del Toro:

Tom Hiddleston will soon reunite with actress Jessica Chastain, who he’s been romantically linked to in the past, as they film the new movie “Crimson Peak,” which director Guillermo Del Toro describes as “kinky.”

“The thing is we’re really good friends, and as soon as Guillermo called, I called Benedict and I said this is happening, and he was like, ‘Amazing!’” Hiddleston said. “So, I had his blessing.”

The new role will bring Hiddleston in close contact with a potential ex, Jessica Chastain. The two actors were linked in January of this year.



“Tom is taken with Jess and it’s serious,” a source told the Daily Mail at the time.

“Before Christmas she visited Britain to stay with him and meet all his family for the first time.”

Chastain later denied the rumors.

"Why would they say that?" she said to USA Today. "It's not true at all."


Speaking to the Guardian about his new role, Hiddleston said that he knows Chastain “very well.”

On Friday it was announced that Tom Hiddleston would replace Benedict Cumberbatch in Guillermo del Toro's haunted house thriller "Crimson Peak." According to Hiddleston, however, the deal came with the permission of the film's former star.


"The thing is we're really good friends, and as soon as Guillermo called, I called Benedict and I said this is happening, and he was like, 'Amazing!'" Hiddleston told BuzzFeed's Jordan Zakarin in an interview at the Toronto International Film Festival on Friday. "So, I had his blessing."

Hiddleston and Cumberbatch go back a long way -- not just because each have an army of fans supporting them on the internet. The pair co-starred together in "War Horse," and engaged in a mutual admiration society during the film's press tour.

Benedict Cumberbatch Rumored For Star Wars Episode VII


Benedict Cumberbatch Rumored For Star Wars Episode VII image

CINEMA BLEND
Author: Kelly West | published: 2013-09-02 09:03:11

Star Wars fans have been eagerly awaiting more concrete news about the anticipated Episode VII. While plenty of rumors have been circulating, including one involving a certain Sherlock star possibly joining the cast, full confirmations have been slim so far. The latest casting rumor for the project is a report that Benedict Cumberbatch's casting confirmation is going to happen at some point in the near future.


Via BleedingCool.com, TheFilmChronicles reports that the expected big casting announcement will be confirmation that Cumberbatch is signing on for the film. No specifics on who he might be playing were mentioned, though the site says casting calls suggests there might be a few early twentysomthings brought in to play offspring of Han Solo, Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker. If they're aiming for teens or early twenty somethings for those roles, that rules out Cumberbatch, who's 37. But perhaps he's related to some of the lead characters in another way. Or maybe he's a completely new creation. A hero or a villain? Well, we know he's capable of both.

While we still have to wait for actual confirmation of this news, Bleeding Cool points out that Cumberbatch did recently drop out of Guillermo Del Toro's Crimson Peak, though the reason given for that at the time was said to not be due to involvement in another project, which may have been the case at the time. The site also points out the timing of this news, as it comes a week ahead of the DVD/Blu-ray release of Star Trek Into Darkness, another beloved sci-fi franchise, and the film that ties Cumberbatch to Star Wars: Episode VII director JJ Abrams.

Benedict Cumberbatch Exits Guillermo del Toro's 'Crimson Peak'

FILM: Benedict Cumberbatch

Benedict Cumberbatch has exited Crimson Peak, the Legendary horror movie being directed by Guillermo del Toro.

No reason for his departure was given although sources say his exit is not due to another project.
Charlie Hunnam, Jessica Chastain and Mia Wasikowska remain on board to star in the four-hander gothic horror story that centers on a woman who discovers that her husband might not be who he appears to be.


Peak is scheduled to shoot in January and the exit at this early stage gives del Toro plenty of time to find a replacement. The filmmaker has already shown he can roll with the punches when he quickly cast Wasikowska after Emma Stone fell off the movie.

Benedict Cumberbatch: Exclusive: Crimson Peak 'Shockingly Different' for Del Toro, Guillermo On Kinky Nature of Gothic Tale (SHOCK TILL YOU DROP)



In the midst of the whirlwind Pacific Rim press tour and the prep work he's doing for The Strain, Guillermo del Toro is currently in early pre-production for Crimson Peak for Legendary Pictures.  Shooting doesn't begin until February 2014, but a cast is already in place.  Charlie Hunnam, Mia Wasikowska, Benedict Cumberbatch and Jessica Chastain will star.

"Crimson Peak is a much, much, much smaller movie, completely character-driven," said Del Toro in a one-on-one interview.  "It's an adult movie, an R-rated movie, pretty adult.  Shockingly different from anything I've done in the English language.  Normally, when I go to do a movie in America for the spectacle and younger audience, for Blade or whatever.  This movie's tone is scary and it's the first time I get to do a movie more akin to what I do in the Spanish movies."

"The thing I do in those movies is recontextualization, take a movie and then move it into a completely different place," he added.  "Like a Gothic and then move it into the Spanish Civil War [The Devil's Backbone].  This is a Gothic romance, haunted house, in the north of England."

Both Benedict Cumberbatch and Jessica Chastain have been announced as joining the cast of Guillermo del Toro's forthcoming gothic horror movie, 'Crimson Peak.'

The 'Sherlock' star and Oscar-nominated actress join Emma Stone and Charlie Hunnam in the Legendary Pictures production which will be del Toro's follow-up to 'Pacific Rim.' 

Written by del Toro with Matthew Robbins and Lucinda Coxon: the film is a ghost story described by the director as  "…a very set-oriented, classical but at the same time modern take on the ghost story. It will allow me to play with the conventions of the genre I know and love, and at the same time subvert the old rules.”
