James McAvoy

[Diamond Star]

Before going to his first Academy Awards ceremony this year, the Scottish actor James McAvoy spent a week in Uganda making a documentary for a Red Cross fund-raising campaign to help the country’s 1.4 million people left homeless by years of civil war.

For Mr. McAvoy the campaign is payback for “The Last King of Scotland,” which was set in Uganda and stars Forest Whitaker as the country’s infamous 1970s dictator, Idi Amin, and Mr. McAvoy as a young doctor who falls under his sway.

“The movie has been so good for our careers,” Mr. McAvoy, 28, said recently. “So it’s ridiculous not to use that to help.”

Mr. McAvoy’s career has been on the ascent ever since he graduated in 2000 from the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama. Never without work — ask any actor how common that is — he shuttled among theater, television and film, with small parts and occasional leads. A hit BBC sitcom called “Shameless” made his name in 2004; a year later, his film work took over.

He's gorgeous, talented and he has a conscience...lucky Anne Marie

ACTOR James McAvoy is to play Scotty in a new Star Trek film, it was reported yesterday. The 28-year-old is understood to have won the role of the Starship Enterprise's famously dour chief engineer. Scotty was played in the iconic TV series by Canadian James Doohan and was immortalised in Captain Kirk's phrase "Beam me up, Scotty". Glasgow-born McAvoy, who starred in the Oscar-winning The Last King of Scotland and hit TV series Shameless, will appear in the 11th film of the hit sci-fi series. The movie reportedly takes the crew back to Starfleet Academy.

A source reportedly said: "McAvoy had to go through a full casting process - and was up against famous names and total unknowns. "He was called back a couple of times before getting the phone call from one of the producers to say he had won the role."
It is believed that William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy, now both 76, have signed up to play Captain Kirk and Mr Spock once again in flash- forward scenes. It will be directed by the creator of TV series Lost, JJ Abrams, and shooting begins this autumn with release planned for Christmas next year.

I would have liked to see it with a different female lead - I have great difficulty liking Anne Hathaway in *anything* so that might have played a role in my dislike of the film! Although some scenes were shot rather oddly too, so maybe a new director as well!

i watched becoming jane and loved him filling the screen! he was better than the movie. but i weeped.

 

[kochie332]

i wasnt too fond of the idea of anne hathaway playing jane austen either, since i am a big jane austen fan. no matter what i am going to see the movie because of james mcavoy

What's In Your Blag?


Even though you could wallpaper your apartment with unremarkable new magazines, every now and again something really good comes along. Currently, we’re all about Blag, the brainchild of British identical twins Sarah J. Edwards and Sally A. Edwards.
While the mag’s real strength is its insider music coverage, we’re also pretty into their fashion stories – especially because they usually just have cute boys from bands all dressed up.
This month, the glossy has Anthony Rossomando, the hot singer from Dirty Pretty Things, wearing labels like Licentious and Neil Barrett.
We marvel at how boys in bands never really look styled - and also how much we're in love with James McAvoy, the actor clad in Hugo Boss on several of the new issue's pages.
Even if it's not the most inspirational menswear, it can still lead to aspirational dating...
