New stills and a new poster from Only Lovers Left Alive have recently been released and can now be viewed in our gallery.

BBC News – Tom Hiddleston is to play the title role in Coriolanus as part of the autumn season at the Donmar Warehouse.

The Avengers star last appeared on stage at the tiny London venue in 2008.

Directed by Josie Rourke, the Shakespearean drama opens in December with Mark Gatiss also in the cast.

August sees the premiere of Nick Payne’s drama The Same Deep Water As Me, about “cash for crash” lawyers.

Following in October, Call the Midwife star Jessica Raine and Linda Bassett are to star in Arnold Wesker’s Roots.

“At the centre of all these plays is a sense of young people trying to find their place in the world,” said Rourke, the Donmar’s artistic director, announcing the season on Monday.

Describing Hiddleston “one of our leading young classical actors”, Rourke said she envisaged Coriolanus would be a “contemporary” production.

Two clips from Tom’s upcoming Vampire flick, Only Lovers Left Alive have been released by IndiWire. Check them out below.

The Evening Standard – The only British producer with a film in the official competition at Cannes said he wanted to shoot it in the UK but could not secure the financial backing here.

Only Lovers Left Alive, starring Tom Hiddleston and Tilda Swinton as a vampire couple, was made in America, Morocco and Germany, with funding from elsewhere in Europe.

Jeremy Thomas, who produced The Last Emperor, Sexy Beast and Crash, said he still considered the movie to be “flying the flag for Britain”.

The production was developed in London by Thomas’s Recorded Picture Company, and the strong British cast includes John Hurt. The director is American Jim Jarmusch.

UNICEF have recently posted Tom’s experience of living on £1 per day in support of Live Below The Line.

I took on the challenge of living on £1 a day out of compassion and a desire to understand the constraints and conditions of those less fortunate, who don’t have a choice. For me it was about voluntarily experiencing even the smallest fraction of the hunger, as well as the discipline required, to subsist on such a small amount. The world’s poorest families, all over the world, face such malnutrition that their growth and development is held back.

Here’s the thing. I haven’t really ever lived below the line – not below the poverty line. I still live in a nice house in London, with running water and a roof over my head, with gas and electricity. Clean drinking water comes rushing out of the kitchen tap. My surroundings are still comfortable. But the children who live below the poverty line have none of these things.

Scans from Tom’s recent feature in Flaunt Magazine have been added to the gallery, you can also check out the video interview below.

The first trailer for “Thor: The Dark World” has been released this week, and it looks amazing. The movie is set to be released next November 08th, just six months after “The Iron Man 3″. Will be a long wait until we can see Loki on screen once again. Check it:

Day five is the day we drive. We drive west. We are in Kankan. We have a plane to catch tomorrow, and Conakry is just under 400 miles away. There’s no three-lane freeway or motorway. It’s the same old road. The dirt, red road. We drive.

We talk, we listen, we look. Along the way we make various stops. We stop at a town to stretch our legs. We stop to sit under a tree for some shade, for bread and vache qui rit. We stop just after recrossing the river Niger, when Julien spots something on the roadside. It’s a monument, inscribed with this message: Read More…

The first production still of Tom from Only Lovers Left Alive. His character (Adam) is pictured in an embrace with Eve (Tilda Swinton), check it out in the gallery.

CinemaBlend – The deadpan indie auteur who’s done a Western, a mafia movie and a mid-life crisis story is prepping to present his take on a vampire tale with Only Lovers Left Alive. We alreadyknew it boasted such powerful performers as Tom Hiddleston, Tilda Swinton, Mia Wasikowska and Anton Yelchin, and that its story centered on the centuries-long romance of two vampires. Now, IndieWire reveals it’s Swinton and Hiddleston that will portray this damned couple, and below you can get a peek at the pair in a melancholy yet beautiful embrace.

Written and directed by Jarmusch, Only Lovers Left Alive has Hiddleston playing Adam, a vampire and underground musician whose growing increasingly distraught over mankind’s progression…or lack thereof. He finds some comfort when he reunites with his old flame and fellow vampire Eve (Swinton), but their happiness is threatened when her reckless younger sister Ava (Wasikowska) rolls into town.

I love absolutely everything about this. The only thing that would make me happier would be if Jarmusch confessed that he conceived of the script while riding a bicycle around an empty industrial loft.

Only Lovers Left Alive is expected to open in 2013.
