Some "Mayday" news: it's about the Cold War, set in 1987, and starts shooting in Budapest in February. Ken is playing a Russian guy AGAIN.

Kenneth Branagh about diversity and inclusion. He's been aware and working for it since the first Shakespeare play he directed in 1986. As the interviewer says, the world is just catching up.

"The thing with Branagh is, he just has a freaking unparalleled eye for casting. He’s so good at it. That’s what we would tell people: ‘If Ken says he’s the guy, then he’s the guy.’". Interesting read.
Chadwick Boseman as Drax. Alexander Skarsgård as Thor. John Krasinski as Captain America. The new book ‘MCU: The Reign of Marvel Studios’ reveals the casting decisions that almost were.

Answers to racists complaining about color blind casts these days should always include Ken casting Denzel Washington in Much Ado About Nothing. Even in 1993 he was more sensible than you f*** hateful racist shit.

"Kenneth Branagh is the most talented man I’ve ever met, as well as being one of the few actors I’m close to. If there’s one thing he hates it’s luvvies – he’s a working-class Belfast lad. We have a father-son relationship. But I’m the son and he’s the father." Brian Blessed

Top five. Ken is so good writing dialogue.
On the 15th there is a screening of In The Bleak Midwinter with Kenneth Branagh IN PERSON to talk about it later in London, what do you think? In the classifications of Branagh's films they almost always forget it, for me it would always be in his top 5 as a director-writer.

"He seems to physically age as the play progresses and Lear descends into madness."
So true, this was one of the things that most amazed me. It's so subtle but so striking.
We review Kenneth Branagh’s new production of King Lear, playing at Wyndham’s Theatre until 9 Dec

If you are going into the Branagh bashing exercise (you are not special, the bashing has been there since the beginning of the 90s), at least get your facts right or watch/read a damn interview, ffs. To the rest of you, happy friday.

‘He is one of the best directors on the planet. He is one of the best actors of his generation. He’s one of the most intelligent people I’ve met and he also seems to work harder than almost anyone and that combination is pretty humbling and makes you just feel useless, frankly!’
EXCL: We sat down with Agatha Christie's great-grandson, who also serves as A Haunting in Venice's executive producer, to talk all things mystery, horror, Kenneth Branagh, his great-grandmother and that star-studded cast...

Debicki's dress was torn by her laughter because apparently Branagh was so funny she exploded 😂😂😂
Sator and Kat are estranged partners in the film and, to lighten the mood on-set, Branagh and Debicki would play a game. They took turns in singing songs to which they didn’t know the words. Branagh was especially good at ad-libbing Les Miserables lyrics, apparently.

Those who say an artist should be stopped just because they don't like what they do are the ones who should be stopped. And even more so when they are doing some kind of cultural gatekeeping.
