First cut of #Junkhearts should be ready at the end of this week. Fingernails already bitten to the quick.

In response to someone’s question as to when and how the film will be released:

most prob going film fest route – but nothing is certain yet. Will let everyone know soon as I do.

13th August:

#junkhearts saw a short clip yesterday to illustrate a scene that director wants to shoot an extension of – shockingly powerful.

16th August:

#junkhearts – due to see first cut – fingers crossed!

So, there you have it: the movie is almost finished with post-production.

In the meantime, does anyone have a guess as to why there is a stick-person in the box in lieu of Tom’s actual face? If you could put a picture there, which one would you choose? Leave your comments below!

**Note: The title of this article is facetious. Tom’s involvement in the movie has been verified by an official press release.

Interview Editorial Tom Sturridge, November 2008

Well, once again, Tom is a popular man in the minds of authors. Anissa Damom, who wrote a vampire/werewolf novel (the synopsis and cover art of which is eerily similar to another vampire/werewolf novel) would like Tom to play the character of Christian. My Spanish is not particularly good, but I believe that Christian is an undead vampire teen who meets a regular, live, human girl.

Hm.

Thoughts?

The quote from the interview is after the jump!

Fantasymundo: Would you like to see ‘Exodus’ on the big screen? Which actors do you think are ideal for the parts? Would you be afraid that the movie would not have the essence of the novel, or do you think that the two very different projects?

Anissa B. Damom: I would love [for the book to become a movie], but I am conscious that that is something which would be tremendously difficult. The concept of a movie is incredible and to be able to see your characters in flesh and blood has to leave you [as an author] breathless. Ideal actors…I would prefer that Christian and Lena were unknowns, although I like a lot of the expressions of Tom Sturridge for Christian. But if I had the ability to choose, I would not doubt for a second putting in Rachel Hurd Wood as Lisange. For Liam, recently I had the opportunity to see Xavier Samuel in person and I believe that he has an air which really seemed like that of the boy in my imagination.

As for the essence, I, myself, am conscious that they cannot be 100% faithful to the book, but I believe that the modifications that are done to adapt a book to a film can also be very interesting. It is what makes them two different things and is why you can enjoy them separately. It is a way to enrich the story. But clearly, I would feel fear. When all is said and done, you are leaving your story in the hands of other people.

nightshoot down Brick Lane. Incredible performances. Mad atmos.

He’s lucky he was able to shoot there: in 2007, a film about a book of the same name as the street was mostly banned from filming there.
Tom said in an earlier interview that he has never been to a club before. Perhaps that’s changed?
Also, someone has made a Facebook page for the movie, which you can ‘like’ here if you wish. So far they only have four people who like it.
As we reported yesterday, if you want real-time updates, you should follow the film’s writer here on Twitter.

Junkhearts crew shooting under siege from tower block egg thrower last night.

I believe this is British for “Some jerk was throwing eggs from a high-rise apartment building during filming.”
Correct me if I’m wrong.

You can follow Mr. Frank (@goodbook ) here on his Twitter account.

LONDON — Eddie Marsan, Tom Sturridge, Romola Garai and newcomer Candese Reid are all cast in director Tinge Krishnan’s debut movie outing “Junkhearts,” produced by Karen Katz from Coded Pictures.
Billed as a suspense drama, the script is penned by Simon Frank.
It details the story of an vulnerable ex-soldier haunted by his past, who finds himself manipulated by a young couple as they attempt to use his home as a drugs den.
Krishnan scored a BAFTA short film award previously for “Shadowscan.”
Coded Pictures has so far produced short film “The Mood” and “Moving To Mars,” a feature documentary directed by Mat Whitecross charting the repatriation of two Karen refugee families from Burma who move to Sheffield as part of the UN Gateway program.
Krishnan’s “Junkhearts” begins shooting in London this week.

Sneaky Tom, we all thought he’d be doing Maestro next!
From the description on the film’s website, it seems like Tom might be playing the role of Danny; but don’t quote us on that:

Frank (50s) is an ex-soldier, haunted by a violent past. He lives alone, drowning his nightmares with alcohol. Christine (30s) – smart and successful… on the surface, tackles life as a single working mother by immersing herself in drugs, parties and sex. Lynette (17) a young rough sleeper watches Christine stumble out of a club whilst she sits in the cold waiting for loose change to fall on her lap; her luck seems to change when she meets Frank who despite his misgivings, offers her a place to stay.

In Lynette, Frank sees the daughter he abandoned after his shattered return from Northern Ireland. As their relationship blossoms, she becomes his last chance to re-create himself as a father. For the first time in years he sobers up and life takes on some meaning.

But Lynette isn’t all she seems. Recruited by her drug dealer boyfriend, Danny, to find a new base for his dealing, she has targeted Frank. When her genuine fondness for him and their emerging friendship takes her by surprise, she attempts to break away from her previous life. Such fragile happiness can’t last. Danny reappears like an addict’s relapse. Darkly handsome and fiercely manipulative, he charms his way past both of them, and a tense psychological struggle ensues. As Danny tightens his hold on the house and its inhabitants, Lynette begins to slide into addiction and fear. Frank’s battle becomes as much for her safety as his own.

Who, if you could choose anyone, would you want to collaborate with on an album?
My friends Marcus Foster, Rob Pattinson, Bobby Long, Tom Sturridge, Gus Mcniece Jeronimo Mohar, and Bob Dylan. Oh and my band!! There are may people I can list but I want everyone involved. Like a big Hippie sing a long. My voice would be the loudest though!

Clearly this collaboration is only hypothetical, but what instrument do you think Tom would play? Piano? Guitar? Violin? Piccolo? Tambourine?
Leave us your thoughts in the box below!
