Another
lovely interview, this time for Tatler Malaysia: Marvel
Eternals' Richard Madden on Being the Face of Calvin Klein Defy - YouTube And Lauren Ridloff, who
plays Makkari, teaches the sign language representing
each of the Eternals characters … and, of course, I now know the signing for Ikaris off by heart! Marvel Studios' Eternals | Meet the Eternals ASL Featurette - YouTube We are
very fortunate to have avoided Storm Arwen in the
southeast of England, and most of the snow too … although I’m not keen on
this sudden change to cold temperatures, as it’s playing
havoc with my sinuses after the unseasonably warm and dampish autumn thus
far! I think the technical term may be non-allergic rhinitis!!! |

This is hilarious …
Lego figures promoting the 4DX version of Eternals: Eternals
4DX Trailer | LEGO Stop Motion - YouTube I thought I was going
to see the movie in 3D last weekend … but actually went to see it in 4DX … it
was quite an experience! The Eternals cast were
presented with the Lego mini-figures of their characters during their press
tour: I confess that I have
a mini Lego Ikaris figure, and Sprite … and flying
deviant too! Moving on from mini
figures … we have a mini human Sersi and mini human
Ikaris: Richard continues to
film Citadel; he was rumoured to be in Lincolnshire last week, at Harlaxton Manor near Grantham. This week, the
production company is in Birmingham … where the location is masquerading as
London!!! It’s just a pity that
filming isn’t taking place in London … like Eternals did … Priyanka posted a short video
on Instagram last night … they are shooting after dark. And Richard’s regular stuntman/double, Joe,
visited an artisan bakery in the City Centre today … so I guess that confirms
Richard’s schedule too!!! Also, IMDb’s Citadel listing includes a character described as
‘Young Mason’ played by a young actor named Jordan Gubian
… so I guess Richard’s character will be named Mason Kane as rumoured. Or at least his spy character will be … his
fireman character is named K Conroy.
Is that Kane Conroy perhaps? The storyline is under
wraps, but articles have mentioned that the spies accidently had their
memories wiped, eight years previously. So maybe he’s been reintegrated into
society under the alias of K Conroy, and is now a fireman. Also, an operative from a rival agency is
said to be hell-bent on revenge against Richard’s character, having been
imprisoned. Now that’s going to be
scary, being pursued by someone you no longer know, for a reason you no
longer know either! It has been announced
that Bray Studios is getting a major revamp, and will be expanding its studio
space and facilities. Not only has Citadel been based there this year, but
both Rocketman and Bodyguard used the facility too! England’s Bray Film Studios Gets Planning Permission For
Major Revamp – Deadline Richard is taking his
parents on a special vacation this Christmas … I thought they might go away
for Christmas, because he spent the 2019 holiday season with friends in the
Lake District, and last Christmas in the US as far as I’m aware. He certainly deserves
a holiday, having been working on Citadel since February! This is very nice …
I’m pleased to learn that Richard loves chocolate … and I recall that in an
interview around the time of Cinderella/Romeo and Juliet, he said he liked
cheese … my two weaknesses are chocolate and cheese … and, of course,
Richard!!! Unfortunately, because
Eternals has been moved to smaller screens within cinemas now, many formats
have disappeared … so, this Sunday, I’m going to see it in Dolby again. I did like 4DX … for the 3D characters, and
even the deviants and Eternals packing a punch; I wasn’t quite so keen on the
water spray!!! 3D definitely made
Richard very huggable … not that he isn’t already!!! |

I’ve seen
Eternals three times now; twice in Imax and once in Dolby. I hope to see it in 3D next weekend too!!! The
critics have been unkind about the movie.
I think it’s a slow burner, and gets better with each viewing – one
notices more things and information missed previously falls into place. Besides, Richard is very beautiful, which
makes it never, ever, a chore to watch him act! And here
are more links to video interviews, including an extended version of the blue

Having returned from my break in London, I’m
still endeavouring to catch up with everything at home … and on my website. However, I
have written my diary, link above, where I recount an amazing experience
within the crowd pen at the Imax! Richard is so kind, so patient, so beautiful and of course so talented … and one cannot
wish to meet a more wonderful man! |
