Cillian Murphy: Last News

If Christopher Nolan’s brilliant story of the father of the atomic bomb loses, it’ll be the biggest upset since the surprise victory of “Shakespeare in Love” over “Saving Private Ryan” in 1999. It’s won just about every other major award it’s been nominated for, and rightly so. “American Fiction”“Anatomy of a Fall”“Barbie”“The Holdovers”“Killers of the Flower Moon”“Maestro”“Past Lives”“Poor Things”“The Zone of Interest”The Battle of the Stones (Gladstone vs. Emma Stone) has raged all season long.

Jimmy Kimmel is set to host and Scorpio king Ryan Gosling will take to the stage to perform his existential bro-anthem “I’m Just Ken.” Gosling is nominated in the Best Supporting Actor category for his role in the blond blockbuster “Barbie.” Despite critical acclaim, the film’s director Greta Gerwig, and star, Margot Robbie were notably excluded from the Best Director and Best Actress categories — thereby proving the point of the movie they made.

Pierce Brosnan has spied the next James Bond — and it’s Cillian Murphy.Brosnan, who starred as James Bond in four movies, says that Murphy (“Oppenheimer,” “Peaky Blinders”) is the natural choice to play the dashing secret agent on the big screen.“Cillian would do a magnificent job as James Bond on His Majesty’s Secret Service,” Brosnan said at the Oscar Wilde Awards in LA Thursday night, according to Variety. Murphy was also at the event with his fellow Irish actor.Murphy, who is the odds-on favorite to win Best Actor at the March 10 Academy Awards, has finished filming his next project, the historical drama “Small Things Like These,” which premiered last month at the Berlin Film Festival.He has also expressed interest in filming a big-screen adaptation of his hit BBC gangster series “Peaky Blinders,” which streamed on Netflix.Brosnan starred as James Bond from 1995-2002 in “Golden Eye,” “Tomorrow Never Dies,” “The World Is Not Enough” and “Die Another Day.”The role was inherited by Daniel Craig, who’s made five Bond movies (2006-2021).Since Craig retired from the James Bond franchise, several names to succeed him have been bandied about, including Idris Elba, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, “Bridgerton” star Regé-Jean Page and “Superman” star Henry Cavill.Murphy stars in “Oppenheimer” as J.

Fans are still waiting to find out what actor will become the next James Bond. However, a former 007 star has cast his vote and selected Cillian Murphy as his successor.

Murphy. Cillian Murphy.

Ellise Shafer Former “James Bond” star Pierce Brosnan has made his pick for who should play the iconic spy next: Cillian Murphy. At the Oscar Wilde Awards in Los Angeles on Thursday night, Brosnan was asked by the BBC for his opinion on which actor should play Bond after Daniel Craig retired from the role in 2021.

Pierce Brosnan has said that Cillian Murphy would be “magnificent” in the role of James Bond.Speaking at the annual Oscar Wilde awards in Los Angeles, Brosnan told the BBC that Murphy would “do a magnificent job as James Bond on His Majesty’s Secret Service.”The two Irish actors were in attendance at the event which took place at JJ Abram’s Bad Robot Productions in Santa Monica, and celebrates the accomplishments of Irish actors and filmmakers.The fictional secret agent, played by Brosnan between 1995 and 2002, has been portrayed by seven actors since the franchise’s first release in 1962, Dr. No, in which the role was played by Sean Connery.Following Daniel Craig’s exit from the series in No Time To Die in 2021, there has been heavy rumour around who would succeed the iconic role, with Murphy being just one of the actors to be suggested for the 007 part.

The 2024 Oscars are set to be the raciest yet, with 'romance on the big screen' making a comeback. This year's contenders for the golden statue are some of the most daring we've seen, according to film buffs.The 96th Academy Awards, also known as the Oscars, will light up our screens on Sunday night.The star-studded event will take place at the Dolly Theatre in Hollywood, with funnyman Jimmy Kimmel playing host.The show celebrates the best films and stars from 2023, but this year, things have heated up a bit. One film that's caught the attention is Poor Things.

Cillian Murphy has been tipped by one of his co-stars in Oppenheimer to be the next James Bond.Rumours about the identity of the next Bond have been rampant ever since Daniel Craig revealed back in 2019 that No Time To Die would be his final time playing the character.And now, Clay Bunker, who appeared in Christopher Nolan’s recent opus alongside Murphy, thinks that the Irish actor could be the ideal candidate.“He would fare beautifully,” he said (via The Sun). “It’s funny because Cillian is the nicest human but he has that dark side and there’s a darkness to Bond.”Bunker continued: “We forget that sometimes Bond is like the character Fleming created – a pretty dark character.

Alex Ritman Ireland appears to be everywhere on screen at the minute — and it isn’t just a trend. Where 2022 and 2023 had “The Banshees of Inisherin,” Paul Mescal, “The Quiet Girl” and short film “The Irish Goodbye” making noise throughout awards season, plus John Carney’s “Flora and Son” being snapped up in Sundance by Apple TV+, 2024 has already shown that the Irish industry has become a global force.

Cillian Murphy is opening up about casting.

EXCLUSIVE: Few people embody the act of balancing legacy media with the digital frontier quite like Bill Owens.

Christopher Nolan has revealed that there is a line of dialogue in his 2008 film The Dark Knight that continues to “plague” him to this day.The director made the admission in a new interview with Deadline, where he found himself discussing how the real Robert Oppenheimer was treated poorly by the US government after his role in the Second World War.In Nolan’s Oppenheimer, the real-life American physicist who played a pivotal role in the creation of the atomic bomb in World War II is played by Cillian Murphy.Often dubbed ‘the father of the atomic bomb’, Oppenheimer was instrumental in the development of the nuclear weapons that were used in the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, the only use of nuclear weapons in an armed conflict in human history.And yet, as Nolan explains, it is a line from The Dark Knight that he feels resonates with the real Oppenheimer’s plight.“I’m plagued by a line from The Dark Knight, and I’m plagued by it because I didn’t write it,” Nolan said. “My brother [Jonathan] wrote it.

Alex Ritman The Brit crime comedy “Down Terrace” was a hit with critics back in 2009. Made on a shoestring budget and shot over a little more than a week, it was lapped up for giving a uniquely dark and hilarious twist to the standard gangster flick while adding splashes of U.K. kitchen-sink social realism into the mix.

EXCLUSIVE: When Beef creator and EP Lee Sung Jin accepted the umpteenth award for the limited series at yesterday’s Spirit Awards, he said he underestimated the enjoyment of the dopamine that comes with winning, and that he will miss it.

“Maestro” star and director got emotional on the show when asked about his film’s subject, the “West Side Story” composer Leonard Bernstein, by one of the late musician’s children.“Do you miss him?” daughter Nina Maria Felicia Bernstein asked the actor, who was sitting with Cooper and her siblings, Jamie and Alexander Bernstein, during a December episode of the news program.“Oh, yeah, man,” replied Cooper, 49, who was only 15 years old and attending high school in Fort Washington, Pennsylvania, when Bernstein died in 1990. The actor never actually met the man.“What do you miss about him?” interviewer Mo Rocca then wondered.“It’s hard to talk about,” replied a teary Cooper. “I don’t know.

Oppenheimer star Cillian Murphy was forced to have his head “glued shut” due to an accident involving a pillow given to him by Emily Blunt.The stars play couple J. Robert Oppenheimer and Kitty Oppenheimer in the Christopher Nolan film, and Blunt revealed on Jimmy Kimmel Live that she decided to gift the sleep item to her co-star as she felt he needed good rest in making the film.“I just felt Cillian needed, probably even more than food, was sleep on this movie,” she began.

Clayton Davis Senior Awards Editor Just 30 minutes after final voting for the Screen Actors Guild Awards wrapped up, I made a last-minute switch in my best actress prediction — from Lily Gladstone in “Killers of the Flower Moon” to Emma Stone in “Poor Things.” Let this be a lesson: Second-guessing yourself is seldom a good idea. Lily Gladstone made history as the first Native American and Indigenous person to clinch an individual SAG Award for her portrayal of Mollie Burkhart, an Osage woman, in Martin Scorsese’s gripping crime saga.

Daniel D'Addario Chief TV Critic Netflix made clear from the start that they were running a different kind of awards show. Presenter and quasi-host Idris Elba indicated to the attended nominees that, in their speeches, they were free to let expletives fly, but that none of them should say anything “you wouldn’t say in front of Oprah.” (Shortly after that, Meryl Streep walked directly into the mic stand — seeming to suggest a kooky and wild awards show that didn’t quite arrive.) After the SAG Awards had fully moved to streaming — after a liminal year, in 2023, in which the ceremony had aired on Netflix’s YouTube channel, preceded by a long tenure on the Turner cable networks — it felt like a sort of safe space for speaking frankly.

Its Malibu dreams have been crushed.“Oppenheimer” emerged victorious — again — and will almost definitely win best picture in two weeks.“Poor Things”? Poor movie.
