Game of Thrones cameos are rarely so intrusive as to draw one out of the scene; more often background musicians performing their craft, or the odd extra. That said, we’d almost certainly have noticed Charlie Hunnam, as the Sons of Anarchy star claims he’d once been offered an appearance.
James Gray got played hard on his last release, the classically-minded drama The Immigrant. The film earned rapturous reviews out of its premiere at Cannes and landed a distribution deal with the power players at the Weinstein Company — who then let it languish in obscurity before quietly releasing it over a year later. The film was a triumph among critics but a huge missed opportunity from an industry perspective. Hopefully, Gray will have a better go with the less domineering Amazon Studios, who will release his new picture The Lost City of Z in April.
James Gray's latest effort The Lost City of Z caused no small commotion when it debuted earlier this year to close out the New York Film Festival. The filmmaker already enjoys a small but dedicated fanbase, and after his 2014 film The Immigrant got all but buried by its distributor the Weinstein Company, Gray's devotees were eager to see what he'd cooked up this time. Among the splashy debuts for The 13th and 20th Century Women, Gray delivered a work of knotted moralities and visual splendor, and those parties present left the theatre with a consensus of breathless praise. Now, we commoners can get an eyeful of the film before its debut in April from Amazon and Bleecker Street.
Charlie Hunnam shocked 'Fifty Shades of Grey' fans when he dropped his Christian Grey role yesterday (Oct. 12), but those close to the actor aren't the least bit surprised. What really happened?
While some 'Fifty Shades of Grey' fans continue to gnash their teeth over the casting of Charlie Hunnam as Christian Grey, the actor's 'Sons of Anarchy' co-stars think he'll be great -- even if one would rather not see his naughty bits.
A lot of 'Fifty Shades of Grey' fans are extremely unhappy that Charlie Hunnam and Dakota Johnson were cast as the leads in the upcoming film adaptation of the best-selling soccer-mom porn novel, but as industry insiders have already said, it came down to who was willing to take the parts -- and who had the best chemistry between them.
And in a new interview, Hunnam backs that up.
They are the most talked about movie roles in recent memory. And now we know who will star in the erotic movie adaptation of the hugely popular "50 Shades of Grey" book.
After months of speculation, author EL James has now confirmed that Charlie Hunnam will play Christian Grey and Dakota Johnson will be Anastasia Steele.
