Alan Rickman, Kate Winslet: Kate gets back with her Sense and Sensibility husband (... and doesn't she look really thrilled about it!) (DAILY MAIL)

The last time Kate Winslet looked this bedraggled she was playing Alan Rickman’s bride in Sense And Sensibility – the role that catapulted her to international stardom.

But the actress didn’t exactly look overjoyed when she joined forces with him again to shoot scenes for new film A Little Chaos last week.

With her hair lank and unstyled, and wearing a loose-fitting blue dressing gown, her image certainly fitted the film’s title.

A Little Chaos tells the story of two rival landscape gardeners  in 17th Century France vying for the favour of King Louis XIV for the chance to design a new fountain at his Versailles palace.

The movie, which has taken five years to bring to the big screen, also stars Belgian actor Matthias  Schoenaerts.

It does not look as if director Rickman, 67, is asking Kate to revive  the glamorous roles she played in Titanic and The Holiday.

The project marks a return to work for Kate, 37, who has been enjoying something of an extended honeymoon since her December marriage to third husband Ned Rocknroll, 34, the nephew of Virgin tycoon Sir Richard Branson.

Benedict Cumberbatch is one of a host of high-profile interviewees who will appear in a new autobiographical documentary about Stephen Hawking.

Science enthusiast Cumberbatch was nominated for a Bafta for his portrayal of the physicist in the 2004 BBC drama series Hawking, and in 2012 narrated three-part documentary series Stephen Hawking’s Grand Design.

The 36-year-old Sherlock star will be joined by actor Jim Carrey, businessman Sir Richard Branson, Apollo astronaut Buzz Aldrin and physicist Roger Penrose in the new Channel 4 production – also entitled Hawking – which will explore the extraordinary life story of the world’s most famous physicist.

The film – which will get a cinema release before being screened on TV – aims to chart Prof Hawking's development from childhood underachiever to scientific genius and media personality, and will explain how the Brief History of Time author learned to adapt to life after being diagnosed with Motor Neurone disease.
