As lead character Oliver, Keoghan will be the driving force of the film, depicting someone with all the intellect to make it to an institution like Oxford, but still figuring out the social etiquette of it all.

Whether you want to know about kitting out James Bond or sinking his claws into Paddington Bear, Britain’s most likable actor is here to tell all
You’ll probably know Ben Whishaw best for taking over from Desmond Llewelyn (and briefly John Cleese) as Q in the past three James Bond films. And as the voice of Paddington Bear, where he was brought in at the last minute to replace Colin Firth.
Whishaw brings something so very likable to every role he plays: John Keats in Jane Campion’s Bright Star, Sebastian Flyte in the 2008 version of Brideshead Revisited and the grown-up Michael Banks in Mary Poppins Returns. And that includes his TV work: Norman Scott in A Very English Scandal and junior doctor Adam Kay in This Is Going to Hurt.

Exclusive: Filmmaker Luca Guadagnino (Call Me by Your Name) hopes to revive his dream project to make a mammoth 10-episode television adaptation of Evelyn Waugh’s Brideshead Revisited.
Two years ago the director had assembled an all-star cast including Cate Blanchett, Ralph Fiennes, Andrew Garfield and Rooney Mara, to lead a 10-part prestige TV version of Waugh’s brilliant study of British upper-class decadence.
But the HBO and BBC production was shelved because of its cost. “It’s a very sad story,” Guadagnino told Deadline late on Sunday night, following a screening at the Telluride Film Festival of his latest film Bones and All, a shocking love story, starring Timothee Chalamet, Taylor Russell and Mark Rylance, about cannibals searching, longingly, for their next meal.

In can what can only be described as dream television news, it's been announced that a new adaptation of Evelyn Waugh's Brideshead Revisited is in the works, with Luca Guadagnino at the helm as director and writer.
The period drama will see the Call Me by Your Name filmmaker direct a star-studded cast that includes Andrew Garfield, Joe Alwyn, and Rooney Mara in what will be the third adaptation of Waugh's classic novel. The story was first adapted for TV back in 1981 as an 11-part series starring Jeremy Irons, and then again in 2008 as a feature film. The upcoming version, which will reportedly be a TV miniseries, will be a joint production between the BBC and HBO, as was I May Destroy You. According to Deadline, BBC drama controller Piers Wenger has been in conversation with Guadagnino about the adaptation for two years and flew to Italy earlier this...

With We Are Who We Are wrapping up, Luca Guadagnino is eying a new project and it looks like, after adding Scarface to his pipeline, it will be another remake. The Call Me By Your Name director is now attached to adapt Evelyn Waugh’s classic novel Brideshead Revisited, The Sacred & Profane Memories of Captain Charles Ryder, which was previously adapted in 1981 in an 11-part series for ITV and in 2008 in a feature film by Julian Jarrold.
The Daily Mail‘s Baz Bamigboye was first to report on Guadagnino’s project, which will take the form of a miniseries, with Deadline confirming, but noting some additional details were a bit premature. This includes the ensemble, which is said to feature Andrew Garfield as Charles Ryder, Joe Alwyn as Sebastian Flyte, Rooney Mara as Lady Julia, Cate Blanchett as Lady Marchmain, and Ralph Fiennes as Lord Marchmain. With the project backed by BBC,...

If you’re not one of the more-than-a-million people so far who’ve either bought Adam Kay’s blisteringly funny and poignant NHS memoir, unwrapped it as a gift, or both, then do please take the required action.
This is Going to Hurt is a short, great read with a vital message: childbirth is horrendous. Additionally: the people who make the NHS function, providing care to all that’s free at the point of delivery, do so under astounding pressure, working extraordinarily long hours without enough recompense and deserve respect, kindness and gratitude, not a continual volley of under-funding, government flak, and patients who insist on introducing objects not designed for internal use to their orifices without giving due thought to an exit strategy.
Drawn from Kay’s diaries during his time working as a Junior Doctor in a series of UK Obstetrics departments and published in 2017, the memoir is...

BERLIN - Upcoming stars Matthew Goode ("Match Point") and Ben Whishaw ("Perfume") have been cast in the two key roles for the big-screen adaptation of Evelyn Waugh novel "Brideshead Revisited", the producers said Friday.

The casting was announced by HanWay, the U.K.-based international sales, distribution and marketing company, on Day 2 of this year's European Film Market.
HanWay is partnering with British production banner Ecosse Films, headed by Douglas Rae and Robert Bernstein, who will produce the script adapted by Andrew Davies and Jeremy Brock.
