Logan – first trailer
The first trailer for Hugh Jackman’s final outing as Wolverine has arrived.
McKellen and Stewart are in No Man’s Land
Lots of lovely images of Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart performing their new play No Man’s Land have been released.
Howdy Cowboy Pat
I really can’t work out if this is a wind-up or not but it seems Sir Patrick Stewart is reinventing himself as a singing cowboy.
Stephen Merchant joins Wolverine 3
Here’s some news I never expected: Stephen Merchant is joining Hugh Jackman in Wolverine 3.
McKellen and Stewart confirm No Man’s Land return
They’ve been talking about it for a while, but Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart have now confirmed they will star in a production of Harold Pinter’s No Man’s Land in London.

Blunt Talk
Here’s a new featurette to promote Sir Patrck Stewart’s TV series, Blunt Talk.
The show debuts on US TV network Starz in August and is co-created by Seth MacFarlane.
Sir Patrick’s role is a galaxy away from Jean-Luc Picard and Professor Xavier. He plays talk show host Walter Blunt and the show also features Oscar-nominee Jacki Weaver and Adrian Scarborough who is very well known to British audiences.
I really hope a UK broadcaster picks this up (not Sky Atlantic, otherwise I won’t be able to watch it).
Clips of the Week – March 28
Another eclectic mix of new trailers and clips this week featuring Tom Cruise hanging off a plane, Michael Fassbender in the Wild West and Sir Patrick Stewart snorting cocaine!
2015 preview: Theatre
2015 kicks off with the return of James McAvoy to the London stage.
He opens in The Ruling Class at the Trafalgar Studios on January 16. The play is about a paranoid schizophrenic with a Messiah complex who inherits his father’s Earldom.
So nothing like the Earl of Grantham in Downton then!
In March, Emma Thompson returns to the London stage for the first time in 25 years as she co-stars with Bryn Terfel in Sweeney Todd at the ENO.
It’s a really limited run – just 13 performances – and the show went down a storm when it was performed in New York in early 2014. I have tickets and I can not wait!
Another Hollywood star set to tread the London boards in 2015 is Damian Lewis who will lead the cast of a new production of David Mamet’s American Buffalo.
The play will run from April to June and it explores the fickle nature of honour among thieves.
No date yet, but I’m really excited about the return of Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart to London.
They’re teaming up again for a staging of No Man’s Land. I saw it in New York in 2013 and recommend it!
And finally the biggest thing in theatre in 2015 sold out within minutes of going on sale in 2014.
Benedict Cumberbatch will play the gloomy Dane in Hamlet at the Barbican in the autumn. I suspect it’s going to be huge.
