Our Night Out With Tom Hiddleston, Henry Cavill Emilia Fox And Natalie Dormer At The BAFTA Gala Dinner

IN STYLE
By Lucy Pavia
February 6, 2015



We hung out with some very dishy Brits in black tie last night - including Tom Hiddleston, Kit Harrington, Freddie Fox and Henry Cavill - at the very first BAFTA Gala Dinner, in aid of BAFTA's Give Something Back campaign. Freddie Fox arrived arm-in-arm with big sister Emilia, who was wearing a floor-length scarlet Temperley London dress, while a very dapper-looking Tom Hiddleston swept in and caught up with friend Edith Bowman. We also spotted Game Of Thrones stars Kit Harrington and Natalie Dormer, who was looking gorgeous in a black ballgown.


The night began with a champagne and canapé reception in the bar upstairs, before guests headed down for a three-course dinner of (delicious) smoked salmon tartare, cumin and coriander rump of lamb and chocolate tart. After dinner the live charity auction began where some of the more deep-pocketed guests bid on a range of treats.



The list of prizes included a photo shoot with top photographer Greg Williams (who had come to the event with his new girlfriend, designer Alice Temperley), a private preview screening for 60 people of the new Bond film Spectre and dinner with Colin Firth and Damien Lewis (this one went for £12 000 - sadly a little out of our budget). Also up for grabs was a private tour of Downton Abbey and a week-long retreat at a villa in Palm Springs. Tom Hiddleston gamely kicked off the action by bidding £2000 for a portrait from Greg Williams, but lost out in the end to a higher offer. By the end of the night £250 000 had been raised. That's a lot of very generous bidding.

Another clip from THE COUNSELOR has been released and although it’s not anything spectacular, it is great to see two heavyweight actors give a little back and forth in a short clip.  The clip features Brad Pitt advising Michael Fassbender to not do what he’s about to do.  This one is pretty high on my radar of movies to see this fall and we’re only a month away from catching it in theaters.  THE COUNSELOR stars: Michael Fassbender, Javier Bardem, Brad Pitt, Cameron Diaz, Penelope Cruz, Natalie Dormer, Goran Visnjic, Dean Norris, John Leguizamo and Rosie Perez. The Ridley Scott directed film hits theaters on October 25th, 2013.

JONNY LEE MILLER: New Elementary Cast additions (DEN OF GEEK)


Sean Pertwee is to join Jonny Lee Miller, Rhys Ifans, and Natalie Dormer as the latest Brit in CBS' Sherlock Holmes show, Elementary...

Elementary has nabbed itself a bit of a UK acting dynasty (well, dynasty might be somewhat grand a term for the family, but his dad did play both The Doctor and Worzel Gummidge) by casting Sean Pertwee as Scotland Yard detective, Inspector Lestrade.



Absent thus far from Elementary's New York-set proceedings, Lestrade is one of a flurry of Conan Doyle characters introduced at the tail-end of season one and the beginning of season two. First came Sebastian Moran, then Irene Adler, and Moriarty, next is Holmes' brother Mycroft, and with him, Sean Pertwee as Inspector Lestrade. The character, often depicted somewhat mockingly in the Conan Doyle stories, consults Holmes on various cases, and has won his professional reputation based largely on Holmes' deductions.

US Sherlock Holmes update Elementary will be back on British screens this autumn on Sky Living, RadioTimes.com can confirm.

The show, starring Jonny Lee Miller as the eccentric detective, returns to US network CBS for a second series on September 26, and is expected to come to Sky around a fortnight later, pointing to an air date of mid-October.

The modern-day American take on the Sherlock Holmes stories is the highest rating show in Sky Living’s 20-year history, averaging 1.12 million viewers per episode.

The series co-stars Lucy Liu as Holmes’s female partner Dr Joan Watson and ended last month with the revelation that his former lover Irene Adler, played by Game of Thrones star Natalie Dormer, was also his arch-nemesis Moriarty.

Jonny Lee Miller - (SPOILER) Elementary: Moriarty’s identity revealed in US Sherlock Holmes update Spoilers: don't read on if you don't want to know who plays the detective's nemesis before the season finale airs (RADIO TIMES)



Radio Times staff
4:17 PM, 21 May 2013

We learnt back in April that Game of Thrones star Natalie Dormer was set to play Sherlock Holmes's former lover Irene Adler in US update Elementary. And earlier this month we were told that the season finale would see Jonny Lee Miller's detective face a showdown with arch-enemy Moriarty, the man he believed had killed Irene. Then, just last week, UK viewers discovered Irene's secret – that she's not dead after all.


But now (right now, if you're still reading this) as the series approaches the climax to its first season, there's one more major twist still to come...

...Irene Adler is Moriarty!

Dormer's character will be unveiled as the brilliant criminal nemesis when she shoots one of her own henchmen in order to save Holmes's life.

Jonny Lee Miller: Sherlock to face showdown with Moriarty in Elementary finale (RADIO TIMES)

Sherlock to face showdown with Moriarty in Elementary finale
Written By
Paul Jones
A tense, season-ending showdown between Sherlock Holmes and his arch-nemesis Moriarty – it’s a scenario fans of BBC1's Sherlock are familiar with. And it’s one that’s set to repeat itself in Elementary, the stateside take on the great detective.
So far, the closest Jonny Lee Miller’s New York-based Sherlock Holmes has come to the criminal mastermind he believes murdered his former lover – one Irene Adler – is a phone conversation. But as the first series of the US show approaches its conclusion, Elementarycreator Rob Doherty says all that is about to change.
“It is a Moriarty-centric finale” says Doherty. “It comes to our attention he may be operating in New York. The finale is really about a build to a showdown between Sherlock and Moriarty."
Not that the action will be entirely confined to the Big Apple. For the first time, viewers will see Sherlock in his native London, in flashback sequences that will also introduce Adler, played by British actress and Game of Thrones star Natalie Dormer.
“For the first time, we're going to see actual moments from his past,” says Doherty. “We're going to see him outside of New York and in London. Seeing London isn't so much the point. It's really about how he came to meet and fall for Irene Adler.

Jonny Lee Miller: Natalie Dormer On The 'Elementary' Set With Jonny Lee Miller (PHOTO) Posted: 04/12/2013 6:23 pm EDT | Updated: 04/12/2013 6:28 pm EDT (HUFF POST)



The British actress, who plays Margaery Tyrell on "Game of Thrones," has joined the CBS drama's take on the classic Sherlock Holmes stories as the revered Irene Adler. TV Guide was the first to report the casting news earlier this week.

Jonny Lee Miller, who plays Sherlock in the show, tweeted a picture of himself with Dormer on the "Elementary" set


Adler has been an unseen character on "Elementary" Season 1. She was described as Sherlock's ex who died at the hands of serial killer "M.", which fueled Sherlock's descent into drug addiction. When Sherlock later confronted "M." -- who turned out to be Sebastian Moran (Vinnie Jones) -- he learned that Adler was actually killed by Moraiarty.

In November, "Elementary" executive producer Rob Doherty told TV Guide, "As we build our Irene and we get into more detail, obviously, she has to be fairly unique, in that someone like Sherlock found himself attracted to her ... As we've said in the past, he doesn't really like to get close to anyone, let alone women. The way we've depicted him, to this point in the season, he's not an especially romantic kind of guy ... Irene has to have a certain strength. I see someone who has to have managed to surprise Sherlock in small, but significant ways. He's so easily bored by the predictable."

Jonny Lee Miller: 'Elementary' Casts 'Game of Thrones' Actress as Irene Adler 1:09 PM PDT 4/9/2013 by Philiana Ng (THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER)


Elementary has found its Irene Adler.

Natalie Dormer will begin her three-episode arc May 9.

Game of Thrones star Natalie Dormer has been cast in the pivotal role on the CBS drama, the network announced Tuesday. She will begin her three-episode arc May 9.

Irene Adler plays a significant part in Sherlock Holmes' (Jonny Lee Miller) past, as his first and only love in London. Her mysterious murder by Sherlock's nemesis Moriarty caused his downward spiral into drug addiction.

“We're moving to the next chapter in our show – and in some ways, to a previous chapter in Holmes' story,” said executive producer and creator Rob Doherty. “Irene Adler is perhaps the most pivotal relationship in Sherlock's life, and I can't think of an actress better suited to the challenge than Natalie.”

London Below
Episode 1 of 6
Duration: 1 hour

Beneath the streets of London there is another London. A subterranean labyrinth of sewers and abandoned tube stations. A somewhere that is Neverwhere.

An act of kindness sees Richard Mayhew catapulted from his ordinary life into a subterranean world under the streets of London. Stopping to help an injured girl on a London street, Richard is thrust from his workaday existence into the strange world of London Below.

So begins a curious and mysterious adventure deep beneath the streets of London, a London of shadows where the tube cry of 'Mind the Gap' takes on new meaning; for the inhabitants of this murky domain are those who have fallen through the gaps in society, the dispossessed, the homeless. Here Richard meets the Earl of Earl's Court, Old Bailey and Hammersmith, faces a life-threatening ordeal at the hands of the Black Friars, comes face to face with Great Beast of London, and encounters an Angel. Called Islington.
