All the world's a bloody stage in the deliciously subversive film THE LIMEHOUSE GOLEM. My @ObsNewReview review:https://t.co/uRTJdBZdzH— Mark Kermode (@KermodeMovie) September 3, 2017
Only 'Did Ackroyd write a murder mystery' in the first place... ? https://t.co/da12Wdb2lx— THE AGENT APSLEY (@THEAGENTAPSLEY) September 3, 2017
María Valverde, Sam Reid, Douglas Booth, Olivia Cooke, and Eddie Marsan
Does this version simply rely on someone leaving too late to say what there was every opportunity to tell before - nothing more or less ?— THE AGENT APSLEY (@THEAGENTAPSLEY) September 3, 2017
Meanwhile, producer Stephen Woolley was keen to advance both his credentials - and pre-occupations - with The Crying Game and Mona Lisa... pic.twitter.com/cllWfjarxK— THE AGENT APSLEY (@THEAGENTAPSLEY) September 3, 2017
At the @CamPicturehouse Q&A, #UCFF asked Stephen Woolley about Lizzie's status as Mrs John Cree - but it's in Chapter 36 of The Golem novel.— THE AGENT APSLEY (@THEAGENTAPSLEY) September 6, 2017
Douglas Booth and Mila Kunis in Jupiter Ascending (2015)
Douglas Booth is tremendous in the film – but he was tremendous (and very unpleasant) in Jupiter Ascending (2015), so it is hardly surprising, whereas Bill Nighy, although dependable, is rather unexciting, not least considering that screenwriter Jane Goldman, by promoting a minor part in the original novel Dan Leno and The Limehouse Golem (by Victorian specialist Peter Ackroyd), created the role – as a Golem – from raw materials : what he does in the film, the book does not need from him at all...
Ackroyd gives us Kildare's home-life, in a book that unfolds with no real act of detection, Goldman hints at it, but makes him the lynch-pin https://t.co/G0tBlfsRs1— THE AGENT APSLEY (@THEAGENTAPSLEY) September 3, 2017
'rumours about his sexuality have apparently stymied his career, although Constable Flood significantly takes such stories in his stride' MK— THE AGENT APSLEY (@THEAGENTAPSLEY) September 3, 2017
