Luke Evans and Elisabeth Moss join Tom Hiddleston in High-Rise

Luke Evans and Elisabeth Moss join Tom Hiddleston in High-Rise

Tom Hiddleston is in good company in Ben Wheatley’s adaptation of J.G. Ballard’s thriller High-Rise as Luke Evans and Elisabeth Moss join the ranks, Variety reports.

The story charts the lives of affluent residents of a futuristic apartment block, in which all modern amenities are contained, leaving them cut off from the rest of society. It’s an unnerving tale of life running out of control, as residents become driven by their primal urges.


Hiddleston plays the role of doctor Robert Laing, who is fascinated by the building, forming a relationship with the architect’s aide Charlotte, played by Sienna Miller.

Evans was most recently seen on the big screen in Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. He’s a busy man too, taking on the title role in Dracula Untold, which is due for release on 3 October.



Moss is perhaps best-known for her role as Peggy Olson in TV hit Mad Men and for her Golden Globe-winning turn in Top of the Lake.

Big-name stars Jeremy Irons, James Purefoy and Reece Shearsmith will also star.

Pippa Middleton, Michelle Dockery hang out at Wimbledon

 Ever wonder what celebs talk about when the sit near each other at public events? Us too! So leave it to Pippa Middleton and "Downton Abbey" star Michelle Dockery to put those gears in motion.

The British ladies were seated near each at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships on Thursday and they seemed to be getting along swimmingly

Middleton, 30, the younger sister of Kate Middleton -- now Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge -- and her bearded brother James sat in the Royal Box at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club as they took in the fourth day of the tennis matches.

In front of them were Dockery, 32, who plays Lady Mary Crawley in the wildly popular iTV series that airs on PBS in the States, and her boyfriend John Dineen.

The quartet chatted it up just before the match between Spain's Rafael Nadal and Czech Republic's Lukas Rosol and were photographed laughing together a few times.

Oh, to be a seat filler! We have no idea what they were talking about, but we imagine it being totally posh and poised.

Dockery has a bit of history with the Middletons, who previously had visited the set of Julian Fellowes' lavish period drama.

"Pippa Middleton and James Middleton, Kate's sister and brother, came to visit the set a few years ago," Dockery told Vanity Fair in February.

"I think during [season] two . . . it was a long time ago. They are friends of Alastair Bruce who is our historical adviser and the royal correspondent [for Sky News], so he's had a lot of involvement with the royal family," she explained. "That's why they came. And it was shortly after the [royal] wedding. It was amazing talking to them. And I hear that Will and Kate are fans, too, which is great."

Royals watching fictional aristocracy? We are beyond amused!

Benedict Cumberbatch proves he's the hot one set

Benedict Cumberbatch was spotted looking all handsome and Etonian on set of his new FBI movie Black Mass. Compare this to Johnny Depp, and see who's the hot one.

Benedict Cumberbatch was spotted on the set of his new movie Black Mass, looking ever so hot in his go-to look, a suit.

The British heartthrob may be off the market, but he's still doing what he does best, acting up a storm.



As usual he's looking all types of Etonian handsome.

Co-staring with Johnny Depp may have been a concern for any Cumberbitches arguing he's always the hottest guy on set.



Richard Armitage, interview: 'I think I'm quite a frightening person'

Richard Armitage arrives in the tiny, cluttered stage manager’s office of The Old Vic straight from rehearsals for Arthur Miller’s The Crucible. He’s bearded and dressed in thick shapeless trousers, heavy boots, and a rough collarless cotton shirt open at the neck to reveal a broad chest. He’s a tall and imposing physical presence. Anyone who knew the 42 year-old only as the dwarf Thorin Oakenshield in The Hobbit films might have quite a shock. Television viewers who associate him with double agent Lucas North in Spooks, nasty Guy of Gisborne in Robin Hood, or the character based on SAS man Andy McNab in Sky One’s Strike Back would know different.



This role is a departure. Armitage is to play the tormented John Proctor in the playwright’s terrifying account of the 17th century Salem witch trials, in which Proctor’s adulterous relationship with a young woman sparks a vengeful chain of events that leads to the deaths of many.

He says he feels like he has been waiting for it all his life. “It’s such an epic role. It feels as big as Lear to me in terms of what that man goes through.”

















The Crucible is an unfolding nightmare of accusatory spite that is seen as an allegory of the anti-Communist witch trials in Hollywood in the 1950s. Can it escape that allegory and find another, I ask him.

“It’s ultimately a timeless play, I think,” says Armitage. “It has lines that feel relevant in 1692, relevant in the Fifties, relevant today and relevant tomorrow, in 10 years, in 20 years, while we’re still destroying each other in the way that we do, in that insidious human way.”



He promises that acclaimed director Yael Farber’s production will be a full-blooded affair. “You can’t play this story without addressing sexuality in this particular society in this time, the masculinity of the men, the femininity of the women, the vulnerability of prepubescent girls. Yael is cooking something which at the moment feels like it’s - and should be - too hot to handle.”

Armitage is a noticeably calm presence but he talks with passion. I ask him how it feels to be facing The Crucible’s agonising climax over and over for the next couple of months. “It’s a big mountain to climb every night,” he says. “There’s a shattering of the character, and almost a reassembling of him towards the end.
“I leave the rehearsal room – and I carry him with me, I carry his thoughts, I dream his dreams a little bit.”
