Teenage Cancer Trust HUB visit in March

I posted some photos about Eddie's hospital visit on 16th March in my earlier post, but there's something
on the charity's website, that I want to share with you. (via Eddie Redmayne Italian Blog)

Teenage Cancer Trust ambassador, Eddie Redmayne, visited our out-patient

facility, the Teenage Cancer Trust HUB at the Macmillan Cancer Centre in

University College Hopsital London. Eddie spent time chatting with some of

our young people and taking selfies. Eddie also put his History of Art degree

to good use by taking part in an art workshop taking place on the unit!

He has been involved with Teenage Cancer Trust for many years. He regularly visits their

specialist units and meets with the young people being treated there and their families.

“For years, I’ve been going to the wards and meeting young people.

I feel really privileged in that sense.”- Eddie Redmayne

Callum Turner to play Newt Scamander's brother

Eddie Redmayne is supporting #BreakthroughBrits (x) - Callum Turner was a winner in 2014 (x)

In 2014, the second year of Breakthrough Brits, BAFTA's initiative celebrating and supporting emerging UK talent (in the first year Eddie was a jury member), 18 talented newcomers were selected by an expert jury panel. Callum Turner was among them. Variety revealed yesterday, that he's in talks to joins the Potter Universe as Newt's brother. We're waiting for the confirmation of the role he will play in the Fantastic Beasts sequel. We heard about Theseus Scamander - Newt's older brother, the WWI heroe - in the first film, but we don't know much about the family. It's possible, that Newt has a younger brother too, who's role would fit Callum better, because he's eight years younger than Eddie. I read speculations about a possible Theseus flashback too. Plot details are unknown at this time other than the film being set in Paris. Anyway, the resemblance is uncanny and the young actor is a 'natural' - as John Boorman described him - so I'm happy about this casting.

Hogwarts Professor: Finding the Fantastic Beasts Text, 5.2 — Theseus the Hero and Newt Scamander

"MinaLima created a prop letter written by Theseus Scamander to his brother about Gellert Grindelwald’s escape

and the efforts to recapture him. The LEGO Dimensions stop-picture animation video of the movie has Theseus reading this letter aloud in voiceover to Newt who is seen reading it on his advent to New York City on an ocean

liner. The movie and “original screenplay” elected to cut this out and give us our Gellert Grindelwald introduction

and story bracket, the open parenthesis for the movie, just in the bad guy’s escape and in a newspaper montage."

The Pillars of the Earth has returned to STARZ

(x)

The series also available now On Demand

The Pillars of the Earth filmography on Ken Follett’s website

“…Then there’s the wonderful young talent: the lovely and truly gifted Hayley Atwell playing our heroine, “Aliena” and Eddie Redmayne as our hero, “Jack”, who gives a performance of amazing depth and passion. I’ve been looking at footage regularly since Pillars went before the cameras in June 2009, and the cast is so good I can hardly believe it.” - from Ken Follett’s blog (October 2009)
