#2 Emma Thompson was haunting and powerful as the angel who came down to command Prior to be a prophet

TV’s Top Ten Angels

For a while Carey Mulligan was “attached,” as she was to so many other projects that never came to fruition, to Emma Thompson’s Effie, a biopic about the 19th century scandalmaker who married famous writer John Ruskin only to annul her marriage to him and run off with his protege, pre-Raphaelite painter John Everett Millais.

Even though Mulligan is only 25, though, she’s been traded in on this one for a younger actress– though in this case it’s far more appropriate to the story. Production Weekly reports that Saoirse Ronan is instead set to star in the film, which Thompson wrote and will also play a small role in. The film also now stars Orlando Bloom and Greg Wise– presumably as the two other corners of the love triangle, with Bloom as the younger painter Millais and Wise as Ruskin– and Imelda Staunton in an unspecified role. Yes, both of these actors are way, way too old to be romantic leads to the 16-year-old Ronan, but that’s pretty true to the historical record; Effie Gray was only 17 when she married 31-year-old Ruskin. Bloom is still a little too old to play Millais, who was the same age as Gray, but casting her opposite an older actor will help age up Ronan, who will need to play Gray at age 23 as well.

Effie will be Thompson’s first non-Nanny McPhee screenplay since the 2001 effort for the TV film Wit, and given that she won an Oscar for her 1995 Sense and Sensibility screenplay, there’s good reason to look forward to her return to the page. Between the fascinating love triangle story and the remarkable cast, Effie sounds like something every prestige film nerd should look forward to while the rest of you salivate over Avengers casting rumors.

So cool of Emma to do this! And if you head over to the BBC Website you can read the full story and watch the clip!

Tony Hull, head teacher at Costessey Junior School, has won the National College Award for Head Teacher of the Year at the Teaching Awards 2010.
He was presented the award by Academy Award winning actress Emma Thompson during a school assembly.
“It was a great surprise – it’s not everyday in your career you get something like that,” said Mr Hull.
Before winning the national title, Mr Hull picked up the east of England head teacher award in June.

EMMA Thompson, Florence Welch and Sam Taylor-Wood have been named Women of the Year.

Sarah Brown, the wife of former prime minister Gordon Brown, was named an International Woman of Influence at last night’s Harper’s Bazaar Women of the Year Awards.

Nanny McPhee actress Emma Thompson was presented with a gong for Role Model of the Year for her work as an actress, producer, writer and activist, campaigning for victims of abuse, torture and rape.

Florence And The Machine singer Florence Welch won Breakthrough of the Year, while artist-turned-film director Sam Taylor-Wood was named Renaissance Woman of the Year at the London event.

From ‘Nanny McPhee Returns’ to ‘Men in Black III’? Apparently so.

According to Variety, Oscar-winning actress Emma Thompson is in talks to co-star in the third installment of the ‘Men in Black’ movie franchise, in which she would play Agent Oh, a “Mib agent from the ’60s monitoring a prison break.”

Franchise veterans Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones are set to reprise their roles as Agents Jay and Kay in the film, which has Agent Jay time-traveling back to the ’60s to enlist the help of a younger K, played by Josh Brolin (‘Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps’). According to the report, ‘Flight of the Conchords’ star Jemaine Clement is in talks to play the film’s villain.
