The case of Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch’s mystery girlfriend has finally been cracked...

Actor Benedict, 38, was first spotted with a new woman at a tennis match this summer, and speculation about her identity has been rife among his fans.

But today we can confirm the actor’s leading lady is Oxford-educated theatre director Sophie Hunter, 36.

The pair are said to have been in a steady relationship for a number of weeks and have been spotted out together many times recently.

When asked about the relationship, Sophie’s mum Anna said cryptically at her home in Edinburgh: “Watch this space. You never know.”

Benedict has previously said he wants someone with good “conversation skills”. And ­intelligent Sophie fits the bill.

She studied French and Italian at Oxford before enrolling at the prestigious Jacques Lecoq school of theatre in Paris – where students have included Sacha Baron Cohen, Steven Berkoff and Geoffrey Rush.

After TV parts including Midsomer Murders and a small role in 2004 movie Vanity Fair, she appeared with Benedict in the 2009 film Burlesque Fairytales, set in a 1930s London theatre.

Matthew Macfadyen's Lost in Karastan: Montreal Festival features culturally diverse cinema

Will this be the last year for the Montreal World Film Festival? God forbid. There are those in Quebec who have been announcing its demise for awhile, but the hue and cry was especially loud this year. The MWFF has lost most of its public funding, in a city that prides itself on its public festivals, for reasons I won’t attempt to go into here. (Let’s just say that the pugnaciousness so many Québécois display toward the rest of Canada can just as often be directed at each other.)

Unlike the Hollywood launching pad for the next crop of Oscar hopefuls that the Toronto Film Festival has largely (if not entirely) become, Montreal remains what a film festival ought to be, a showcase for films from around the world that North Americans probably wouldn't otherwise get to see. It concentrates less on movies made for international distribution than on those made for viewers in their home countries. As such they provide a much better reflection of different cultures as they see themselves, which more than makes up for the occasional reference that goes over your head.

I still have a few more days to spend here, and hope to be returning next year. Some of the best of what I’ve seen so far:

LOST IN KARASTAN—This bone-dry British comedy about Emil Forester, in which a blocked filmmaker (Matthew Macfadyen) accepts an invitation to a film festival in a small central Asian republic, was inspired by actual events in the careers of director Ben Hopkins and his friend Pawel Pawlikowski (whose Ida recently enjoyed an extended run in Buffalo theaters). That presumably does not extend to the part where our hero is hired by Karastan’s dictator to film his country’s national epic, a project that only Emil takes at face value. And I doubt that either Hopkins or Pawlikowski has ever made a film whose tag line (per one of Emil’s posters) calls it “electroshock therapy for the cinematically brain-dead empire.” You have to love filmmakers making fun of their own inability to recognize reality when a camera gets in the way.

Downton Abbey: Behind the scenes of series 5 On location at Highclere Castle for the filming of Downton Abbey

THE TELEGRAPH
By Chloe Fox9:15AM BST 13 Sep 2014



In her temporary tent outside Highclere Castle in Berkshire, Lisa Heathcote, the home economics adviser on Downton Abbey, is peeling countless quail eggs to be served at the cocktail party – a reception being thrown by Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham (Hugh Bonneville), the Lord Lieutenant of Yorkshire – that is being filmed inside the house.

Things are going well. The sun is out. Everyone is happy. And then there is a problem. The ice in the cocktail glasses is making too much noise. Is there perhaps any rubber ice that they could use instead?

Inside the Victorian castle the atmosphere is hushed. Candlelight, shimmering beads and elegant grandeur are the order of the day. Above the murmur of polite, cocktail-party conversation, a familiar booming voice announces the arrival of each new guest.

Jim Carter, aka Mr Carson the butler, is the physical embodiment of everything that its estimated global audience of 150 million viewers (100 million of them in China alone) has come to love about Downton Abbey: dignified, reassuring, and not quite knowable.

Downton Abbey is a phenomenon. Not since Brideshead Revisited more than three decades ago has a televised foray into the lives of an aristocratic English family held such sway over its audiences.

When it first aired on ITV, on a Sunday night in September 2010, Downton Abbey – written by Julian Fellowes, the Oscar-winning screenwriter of Robert Altman's Gosford Park – had a consolidated figure of 9.2 million viewers, instantly making it the most successful new drama on any channel.

Here was something that had all the magic ingredients that Sunday night audiences wanted: period escapism, an original storyline – and Dame Maggie Smith. ‘We knew that we had very good scripts and a top-calibre cast,’ the producer Liz Trowbridge says. ‘But we never in our wildest dreams thought that it would be as successful as it has been. Our dream, when we first set out, was to make three series – before, during and after the First World War – to explore the social history of a house and the people who lived in it.

That was all.’ Three series came and went. Ratings remained high. Devotees hung on every plot twist. Would Lady Mary Crawley (Lord Grantham’s eldest daughter, played by Michelle Dockery) end up with her cousin Matthew Crawley (Dan Stevens)? Would Lord Grantham kiss the housemaid? Did Bates, Lord Grantham’s loyal valet (Brendan Coyle), murder his wife? And what possessed O’Brien (Lady Cora, Lord Grantham’s wife’s maid, played by Siobhan Finneran) to leave that bar of soap where she did? With the reassuring feel of an adaptation but the content of a soap opera, Downton Abbey was television gold.

So, what can we expect from season five? From spending one day on set, it is frustratingly difficult to glean anything at all (except, perhaps, that there seems to be some tension simmering between Lord and Lady Grantham). Cast and crew, briefed to within an inch of their lives, are tight-lipped.

‘My friends just know not to ask me any more,’ Brendan Coyle says with a smile. ‘If I told you, I’d have to kill you,’ says Lily James, who plays the mischievous, fun-loving cousin of the Crawleys, Lady Rose Maclaire.

Emma Stone brings vintage glamour to Parisian red carpet with Colin Firth (video)

DAILY MAIL
September 11, 2014
By HANNA FLINT FOR MAILONLINE




Emma Stone looked magic in the moonlight as she arrived for the premiere of her new film in Paris, Thursday night.

The American star takes the female lead in Woody Allen's latest cinematic endeavour, and was joined on the red carpet by co-star Colin Firth.

As the movie is set in the Roaring Twenties, it's no surprise to see Emma's glamorous look inspired by the fashion of the time.

Colin looked every bit the English gentleman in his sharp suit, while his wife Livia Firth dazzled in a metallic gold knitted top with a floral A-line skirt.

Emma and Colin were in Paris for the 'Magic In The Moonlight' Premiere at UGC Cine Cite Bercy.

It is in France where the majority of the movie is set, as Firth's skeptical character Stanley Crawford is enlisted to help debunk the clairvoyant and mystic Sophie (Stone).

Soon the story sees middle-aged Stanley and the young Sophie become romantically entwined, but of course a dramatic age-gap has never troubled Woody Allen when it comes to story telling and real life.

Oscar's Battle of the Brits: Pals Benedict Cumberbatch and Eddie Redmayne Vie for the Gold

DAILY BEAST
Marlow Stern
September 11, 2014

With their towering performances in a pair of biopics, Cumberbatch as Alan Turing in The Imitation Game and Redmayne as Stephen Hawking in The Theory of Everything, the two lads are earning serious awards buzz out of Toronto.

Cumberbitches and Redmaniacs, rejoice: You've got a pair of awards contenders on your hands—err… minds.

For the uninitiated, the Toronto International Film Festival is, aside from being one of the largest, most overwhelming film fests in the world, fertile ground for Oscar bait. The proof is in the poutine. American Beauty, Ray, Black Swan, and The King’s Speech, to name a few, all bowed in Toronto, and all received Academy Award wins for their stars. Most of the acting buzz at the ’14 edition of TIFF has concerned the performances of Benedict Cumberbatch and Eddie Redmayne in a pair of biopics that were practically stitched by hand in a clandestine awards factory beneath the Dolby Theatre.

Let’s start with the stronger of the two. In The Imitation Game, Cumberbatch portrays Alan Turing, a math prodigy and cryptanalyst who’s tasked by Prime Minister Winston Churchill with leading an elite group of code-breakers at Hut 8—a sector of Britain’s top-secret Government Code and Cypher School at Bletchley Park. Their mission is to break the Nazis’ Enigma code, their highly encrypted and presumably indecipherable method of communicating with their naval fleet via radio transmissions. “We’re going to break an unbreakable Nazi code, and win the war,” says Turing.

Directed by Morten Tydum from a screenplay by Graham Moore, the film chronicles Turing’s tragic life (via flashbacks) from his days as a bullied, reticent budding genius who falls for his boarding school classmate, to his World War II heroism, to the subsequent witch hunt in the days after the war that leads to his 1952 conviction on the grounds of “indecency” for engaging in a homosexual tryst—illegal in the U.K. until the Sexual Offences Act 1967, which decriminalized homosexual behavior. Turing was offered the option of two years in prison or oestrogen injections—tantamount to chemical castration. He opted for the latter, and two years later, took his own life by ingesting cyanide.

Another role Oscars were made for comes courtesy of Eddie Redmayne in The Theory of Everything. The impressively-coiffed Brit plays renowned theoretical physicist and cosmologist Stephen Hawking, who fused the general theory of relativity and quantum mechanics to create groundbreaking studies on black holes and gravitational singularity theorems. At the age of 21, while studying cosmology at the University of Cambridge, he was diagnosed with motor neuron disease—or ALS—and given two years to live. Hawking slid into a deep depression, but was brought out of it by his girlfriend Jane Wilde (Felicity Jones) who proposed marriage and gave him something to live for.

Directed by Oscar winner James Marsh (Man on Wire) from a screenplay by Anthony McCarten, the film is more of a straightforward biopic that traces Hawking’s relationship with Wilde at Cambridge, his groundbreaking work in the field of theoretical physics, and his gradual physical decline—first losing his ability to speak, followed by near-complete paralysis. Though Hawking slowly loses control of his physical faculties, his mind remains sharp as ever, and Redmayne captures this with his boyish charm—the twinkle in his eye, and his self-effacing brand of humor. And the 32-year-old Brit, who coincidentally graduated from Cambridge himself with 2:1 Honours, does a superb job of navigating Hawking through his physical deterioration, including his slide into depression. The scenes between Redmayne and Jones where the latter party struggles to pull him away from the edge are masterful.

Of course, Redmayne also positively looks the part, and his portrayal of Hawking during the latter stages of ALS—the impaired speech and mannerisms—is spot-on.

George Clooney 'to make appearance in Downton Abbey'

THE GUARDIAN

theguardian.com, Wednesday 10 September 2014 19.59 EDT




George Clooney is to star in the UK television series Downton Abbey, it has been reported. The actor will play an American character who is a guest at a wedding in the country estate.

The show, which will be broadcast at Christmas, was written to raise money for a charity fundraiser, called Text Santa for ITV. An ITV spokesperson said Clooney would appear in a sketch, but would not act in a full Christmas episode.

The Hollywood star has already filmed the scenes but a spokesperson for the period drama refused to give away any further details. However, it was reported that Clooney was set to appear alongside Hugh Bonneville and Michelle Dockery.

Clooney is reportedly a huge fan of Downton Abbey and is good friends with Bonneville, who plays Lord Robert Crawley. The pair became close after working on the war film, Monuments Men, together.

Earlier this year, it was also claimed that Clooney and his fiancée, Amal Alamuddin, considered choosing Highclere Castle, the Hampshire estate where Downton Abbey is filmed, as the venue for their upcoming wedding.

However, it has been suggested that this was an elaborate cover story – invented after he was spotted at the castle – in order to keep his Downton appearance a secret.

Sources told the Sun: "All the plans have been shrouded in secrecy because George was determined for his role not to leak out.

(video) TIFF 2014: Benedict Cumberbatch, Keira Knightley, Allen Leech red carpets

ENNY YUEN, QMI AGENCY

Last Updated: 10:44 PM ET



QMI reporter Jenny Yuen hit the red carpet for Day 6 of the Toronto International Film Festival. Jenny caught up with with the stars of David Cronenberg's "Maps to the Stars" and Morten Tyldum's "The Imitation Game."

Jenny at "The Imitation Game" red carper: Keira Knightley calls for stronger roles for women, Allen Leech talks Downton Abbey.

Keira Knightley said that even though disparity between men and women is improving, there is still a long way to go.

Knightley portrays Joan Clarke in Imitation Game, which captures the life and times of British mathematician, cryptanalyst and computer scientist Alan Turing (Benedict Cumberbatch), a key figure in cracking The Nazi's Enigma code that helped allies win the Second World War only to be later was vilified for his homosexuality.

Clarke develops a deep friendship with Turing and becomes his confidante and is one-time fiancée.



Downton Abbey star Allen Leech, who plays British spy John Cairncross in the film, said while he is a coder in the movie, English was his forte in school.

"Math was not, to be honest," he said. "We had two weeks for rehearsals, which was such a blessing. (The cast) really got to know each other and you get to see it on the screen."

On a celebrity side note, Leech said he doesn't consider himself famous per se, but said there is a polite method for fans to approach for a selfie.

"If there was someone that was a fan of Downton or a fan of The Imitation Game, if they ask, it's always nice, rather than having a camera shoved in your face," he said. "I remember going up to Pierce Brosnan when I was a kid, back at home, and once you ask, even though it's scary, ultimately it's very flattering that someone would like a picture with you."

Charlie Hunnam Reflects on His 'Sons of Anarchy' Ride at Final Premiere

THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
11:40 AM PST 09/08/2014 by Rebecca Ford

Charlie Hunnam, Katey Sagal and Kurt Sutter

"It was like going to an Ivy League school with Kurt Sutter being the mad professor"

It was the beginning of the end on Saturday night ,when the stars of FX's hit show Sons of Anarchy gathered for the final season premiere party in Hollywood.

The motorcycle drama will air its seventh and final season beginning on Sept. 9, but the stars of the show — including Charlie Hunnam, Katey Sagal, Theo Rossi and Kim Coates — haven't quite come to grips with the fact that the show is ending its long run.

"We're still in the middle of it," said Rossi of the show, which is currently shooting episode nine. "I think in December, when it's stops airing, that's when I'll realize it's over. But there have been little things that have happened that make me realize we're near the end."

Rossi, who has been on Sons of Anarchy since season one, says he grew up on the show. "My entire life has changed," he said at the premier at the TCL Chinese Theater. "I've become a different person, a better actor. I've learned to produce, being surrounded by people like [showrunner] Kurt [Sutter] and [executive producer] Paris Barclay. I've become a better human being, gotten involved with seven or eight charities."

Rossi wasn't the only actor reflecting on what the show has done for him as an actor. Hunnam, who stars as Jax, the leader of the motorcycle gang, says he had to get past some very tough struggles in the early seasons of the show.

"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 THR. "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."

"I think I'm a much better actor than I was at the beginning of the show," he added. "It was like going to an Ivy League school with Kurt Sutter being the mad professor that pushes us all to do our best work. Now I feel like I'm graduating with the confidence of that education, and I'm excited to go make some films."

Hunnam, who starred in Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim, will next be seen in Crimson Peak and recently signed on to play King Arthur in Guy Ritchie's upcoming film.

Benedict Cumberbatch Brings His Sherlock Persona To The Brainy, Brilliant The Imitation Game

CINEMA BLEND
BY SEAN O'CONNELL 2014-09-07 19:30:50



Morten Tydlum’s The Imitation Game is a first-rate biopic, a thrilling espionage game that’s beautifully crafted and acted. To speak the film’s language – one of codes cracked by mathematicians – the movie equates. It’s also every bit as touching, tragic and romantic as it is intelligent and compelling. And yes, for those who keep track of these annual marathons, it is (or should be) an Oscar contender. Picture, director, screenplay, supporting actress and actor all seem to be in play.

Particularly Best Actor – yes, "Cumberbitches" – for Benedict Cumberbatch's calculated, lean, strong and confident portrayal of brilliant mathematician Alan Turing, who is recruited by the British government during time of war to help decipher Enigma, the machine the Germans use to encode their messages. To crack Enigma might mean to drastically shorten the war. But there is a lot more happening in The Imitation Game then the war effort.

"Pay attention," we are warned, in a Sherlock-y, Khan tone. Alan Turing has secrets. Everyone has secrets at play in The Imitation Game, from the military brass who recruit Turing to the MI6 agent (Mark Strong) who shadows his progress. But few are quite as damaging, as life-altering as Turing’s secrets can (and will) be. If you know history, you know the progressing of this story. The Imitation Game guards its reveal until the one-hour mark, so I’ll steer clear of it for now. It will be a major talking point as the film begins to roll out and play to larger audiences. For now, here’s what I’m comfortable telling you.

Turing -- much like Benedict Cumberbatch’s iconic Sherlock Holmes portrayal -- is a hyper-intelligent, internalized sociopaths with little patience for inferior folks and a laser-focus on task. The task, in this case, could save thousands of military lives and, possibly, turn the tide in a global conflict. But Turing is supposed to be part of a team, and the men he’s supposed to collaborate with (personified by Matthew Goode, Matthew Beard and Allen Leech) can’t stand his aloof arrogance.

Before you bringing in the ever-suffering John Watson, The Imitation Game dangles a bit of a bait and switch. Keira Knightley – the staple of period dramas such as this – is introduced as Joan Clarke, an equally brilliant mathematician whose gender costs her a spot on Turing code-breaking team. In a conventional film, she’d be a love interest. The Imitation Game is not a conventional film. At the moment where a normal biopic would detour into possible romance, the "Pay attention" warning come back, and takes us down a different, more sobering path
