The trailer for Prisoners, starring Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal, was released yesterday. Hugh’s daughter goes missing. He’s in a rage trying to find her. Jakey’s the cop on the case. Paul Dano’s the creep who probably isn’t the creep since they’re making him look like the creep in the preview. Full Story

Here are some new shots of Peter Dinklage, James McAvoy, and Michael Fassbender in Montreal, in costume, on the set of the next X-Men movie. Or they could be cameos in the new Anchorman movie. Fassbender looks quite good with that scarf around his neck. X-Men: Days Of Future Past apparently takes place in 1973 Full Story

I didn’t come up with it. That was the position of this article in The Guardian last month pronouncing Anne-Marie Duff and James McAvoy “Britain's new golden acting couple”. She’s already distinguished herself on stage, he’s currently Macbeth in the West End. Full Story

James McAvoy is currently playing Macbeth on stage in London. Last night, according to several witnesses who tweeted about it, an audience member fainted. He came off the stage, called for emergency staff, then went back on stage and continued the fight scene that had been interrupted. Full Story

Am writing from LAX, heading home to Vancouver after a few days in LA. This was my itinerary, and I promise, there's a point: Last week we were in Toronto, flew back to Vancouver on Friday, arriving at 7pm PT. Twelve hours later I was back at the airport for an 8am PT flight to Edmonton only to connect to Los Angeles, to get here in time for a screening. Full Story

Atonement. Remember how gross Benedict Cumberbatch was in Atonement? It’s a testament to his skill as an actor but I can’t help but hold it against him anyway. Poor Robbie took the fall for Paul’s underage creeping! Can you be TOO good at your job? Atonement was the second time James McAvoy and Cumberbatch worked together, having previously co-starred in Starter For Ten which I quite liked and think is underrated though I can’t remember Bendy in it at all. Full Story

New photos of James McAvoy and -- bonus! -- Anne-Marie Duff is with him. Here they are running errands in London yesterday. I read an awesome story about James a couple of weeks ago that I’d not heard before. Last year James was watching his wife perform on stage at the Old Vic in Cause Celebre. Full Story

Is that a keg? A barrel? I don’t know. Does it matter? He’s lifting it. He’s lovely. He’s gorgeous. He was in New York yesterday shooting The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby with Jessica Chastain. James is not coming to TIFF. Last time he came to TIFF we smoked out a window together and talked about his baby. Full Story

James McAvoy and Jessica Chastain continue to work on The Disappearance Of Eleanor Rigby which, to me, based on pap photos only and no other knowledge so, yes, an ignorant assumption, feels a little like One Day. Anyway, as you can see, their characters have an argument and he gets hit by a taxi but. Full Story

It’s going to be a good day. Always when there are new James McAvoy pictures. This is James on the set of The Disappearance Of Eleanor Rigby in New York yesterday with Jessica Chastain. As you can see, Jessica and James seem to get on well, play-fighting at work, lots of laughs even though they play wife and husband in a troubled marriage. Full Story

Here’s James McAvoy on the New York set of The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby yesterday. He runs, then he’s tired. I haven’t read the script but since it’s kind of sort of a romance let’s pretend for now that he’s rushing home to prevent her from leaving. Will he make it? Well, if this were a Chinese movie he would arrive home to her dead body; we don’t like happy endings. Full Story

James McAvoy, our Lifetime Love, continues to shoot The Disappearance Of Eleanor Rigby in New York, this time holding a fishbowl. You seemed to like the pictures I posted yesterday so I’m posting more today even though I have nothing new to say. Please enjoy.  Full Story

Thank you for your messages today in reference to the Mark Ruffalo article. I’m so happy we agree. Mark Ruffalo replaces Johnny Depp on the Lifetime for real. But can James McAvoy join him there? There’s a lot to love in James McAvoy. He’s talented, of course. Full Story
