Thor’s Tom Hiddleston is one of today’s hottest stars. Hiddleston is replacing Benedict Cumberland in Guillermo del Toro’s upcoming horror film Crimson Peak. Meanwhile, Hiddleston’s new kid friendly film, The Pirate Fairy, has just released a new trailer.
Guillermo del Toro recently spoke with Shock Till You Drop about his new horror film, Crimson Peak:
“Crimson Peak is a much, much, much smaller movie, completely character-driven. It’s an adult movie, an R-rated movie, pretty adult. Shockingly different from anything I’ve done in the English language. Normally, when I go to do a movie in America for the spectacle and younger audience, for Blade or whatever. This movie’s tone is scary and it’s the first time I get to do a movie more akin to what I do in the Spanish movies.”
He later added:
“[Crimson Peak] has moments that are very visceral, physical violence. You’re in this sort of sedate romance and then there is this brutal moment where you’re like, “Whoa!” And it has a lot of kinky moments. The only kinky moment I’ve ever shot is the leg f**k in The Devil’s Backbone. [laughs] This has a little more kinkiness than that.”
Hiddleston, himself, spoke with Slash Film about the new movie:
“Guillermo’s an absolute omniscient about that particular genre of fiction, in literature, in cinema… His precision and passion…The script itself is bone chillingly terrifying. When I was reading it for the first time I had to get up and walk around the room, then sit down again because I was so scared. But it’s also so sophisticated. It’s actually a very mature film. It has a very sophisticated and adult sensibility that stems from what Guillermo sees as the root of all of this stuff, which is the gothic romance literature of the nineteenth century.”
Meanwhile, Hiddleston has also been working on a new project for Disney. Hiddleston will play a young Captain Hook, only before the Captain and before the hook, in The Pirate Fairy.
