In addition to the already announced new play by Richard Bean, The Big Fellah (21 Sep to 16 Oct) and the pantomime Dick Whittington (27 Nov to 8 Jan), the season also includes Sarah Kane’s seminal play Blasted, a new play about a teacher accused of racial harassment, Mogadishu, and the return of Simon Stephens’s Punk Rock.

The latter opens the season on 6 September, running for just two weeks prior to a UK tour. Exploring the latent violence and discontent that simmers below the surface in a group of aspirational students at an English grammar school, Punk Rock achieved acclaim when it first played at the Lyric Hammersmith in September 2009, with young actor Tom Sturridge winning Most Promising Newcomer at the Critics’ Circle Theatre Awards.

While the play itself will definitely return, there’s been no word yet as to whether or not the play will include the original cast. We will be sure to keep you updated!

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.

Perhaps not.

But he did bring Chris O’Dowd, which is almost as good.

P.S. This is old; it’s from the Pirate Radio press but we’ve never posted it before, so here it is!

#junkhearts … Oh my god they’ve killed Tom!

The death of Tom as Danny was foreshadowed on Twitter:

We also have a video that was shot on the set of Junkhearts, and some of Tom’s co-stars were interviewed.

P.S. Who is that guy on his shirt? Does anyone know? We thought it might be Hasselhoff from his Knight Rider days. Our undying affection will go to whomever sends in the right answer.

tom is playing the role of Danny – a dark and twisted drug dealer.

What do you think of Tom as a bad guy? Leave you comments!

Simon has also said something really nice about Tom:

Tom Sturridge is doing fantastically. He’s a really powerful actor. Film goes into post in about a month.

Currently, they are done with the location filming and are working in a studio in London. Several video clips have surfaced, but alas, none with Tom. We’ll keep you posted!
