Benedict Cumberbatch News

Aw I missed the birthday one :(

 

His eyes freak me out in this one. 

[Arcadia]

What, those little "Lookie, blink blink, I'm harmless" eyes? They're adorable!

 

I'd make you a gif of the moment I mean, but I don't know how. But it's shortly before this one.

[Pseudonym]

It's when turtlemouth is in full effect, they weirdly skitter off to the side just as the gif cuts off.

[Arcadia]

??? -- They look like they remain squarely in the center of his face, to me.

:P

[Pamela]

Wouldn't it be awesome if Sophie played Lewis' wife?

[Pseudonym]

I don't know, I think that would weird me out...

[SherlockedCAMPer]

Agree with you both Pamela & Pseud.

[Arcadia]

That sounds like something I'd actually like to see him in, for some reason.

[Inge l-w]

Yep! Except for making a putative S5 a galaxy far far away!

Meanwhile, over at Sherlockshome.net, the voting for the Sherloscars is in progress. Whoever wants can pop over and vote for their favorite character, favorite villain etc.

Old news, so to say: a bunch of cute Ben from last Sherlocked

And a new project

 

Benedict Cumberbatch to star and executive produce Sky Atlantic

and SHOWTIME®’s new drama Melrose from acclaimed writer David Nicholls

[Pseudonym]

'An aristocratic and outrageously funny playboy' sounds different in a good way. Okay, maybe not the aristocrat (I know he's done that before) but the funny playboy. 

 

[Inge l-w]

Even if it is a mix between Parade's End and Bertie Wooster, it is still a project taking Benedict further and further away from Sherlock! We could simply wrap up shop, close down the forum and use each other's e- mails for actual criticism of his many projects!

Thank you. I voted.

Fairly recent interview with Ben, mostly about Dr. Strange: https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=cumberbatch+on+good+morning+britain&&view=detail&mid=352B5AEF63FB4839B67B352B5AEF63FB4839B67B&rvsmid=21D816E0A07D0A955EB221D816E0A07D0A955EB2&fsscr=0&FORM=VDMCNL

 

Is there some ban on asking questions about Sherlock? I note it's almost never mentioned in these things. Weird, to me.

[Pseudonym]

I suppose they only have a limited amount of time to talk to him and he needs to plug whatever he is there for rather than talk about Sherlock. I hope there's not a ban. I still think there'll be a Christmas special or something somewhere (far) down the road. 

[Arcadia]

I think BC will answer any question put to him. In detail. :d

 

The guy asked about his kids and his future projects, but not a peep about Sherlock. And I've noticed this in almost every interview with the cast I've seen. I just find it strange.

 

I agree with you about the special.

[Pseudonym]

Heh, maybe there is a ban because he'll talk about it too much :D

[Carol the Dabbler]

Or maybe they keep asking him about S5, and he just says he has no idea (which is presumably true), so they omitted that part.

[Arcadia]

I assume most of the questions are pre-screened by his publicist.

[Inge l-w]

Dear Arcadia, then there's hope! By now, the gentleman knows what he likes and does it. If there're no more mentions of an S5, we might lay S4 down to rest in peace and go on with our lives, as does he. TFP: oh, the horror!
