I hope Peter Jackson gets some sleep. The guy just seems exhausted. The last time I interviewed him was for The Two Towers, which means that he was right in the middle of all the Lord of the Rings business, and he still didn’t look as tired as he did last Thursday at New York … Continue reading

Skandar Keynes plays one of my favorite little bastards from literature, Edmund Pevensie, who sells out his family to the evil White Witch for some Turkish Delight.

In Syriana he plays a much more restrained character, the prince of an unnamed Middle Eastern country who is trying to wean his economy off of oil dependence – and American dependence. This, of course, pisses the Americans off a little bit. I have seen Siddig in … Continue reading
