Two Kevins and three Brits could compete for TV movie actor Emmy

13 July 2009 7:40 PM, PDT | Gold Derby | See recent Gold Derby news »

Our two resident Emmy experts  — forum moderators Chris "Boomer" Beachum and Robert "Rob L" Licuria (AwardsHeaven.net) — also agree on the five men who will contend for best actor in a TV movie or mini-series. They anticipate Kevin Bacon ("Taking Chance"), Brendan Gleeson ("Into the Storm") and Kevin Kline ("Cyrano de Bergerac") earning their first Emmy recognition when nominations are announced on Thursday. Both of them think Ian McKellen ("King Lear") will land his fourth Emmy nod while previous champ Kenneth Branagh ("Conspiracy") should reap his fourth Emmy bid in this category for "Wallender." And unlike the lead actress in a movie/mini race, both Boomer and Rob think this could be a competitive category with seven other actors in the mix. Best Movie/Mini-series Actor

Kevin Bacon, "Taking Chance" – Rob, Boomer

Kenneth Branagh, "Wallander: One Step Behind" – Rob, Boomer

Brendan Gleeson, "Into the Storm" – Rob, Boomer

Kevin Kline, "Cyrano de Bergerac" (Great Performances) – Rob, »

Christopher McQuarrie Delves Into History with Valkyrie

It didn't take long for high school buddies Christopher McQuarrie and Bryan Singer to make an indelible stamp on the Hollywood scene. After their film debuts, with McQuarrie writing and Singer directing Public Access, their next collaboration really put them on the map, with the smash-hit (and one of my personal favorites of all-time) The Usual Suspects, which landed McQuarrie an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. After making his directorial debut with The Way of the Gun, which he also wrote, McQuarrie is back with director Bryan Singer with the powerful true-story war drama, Valkyrie, which hits the shelves on DVD and Blu-ray on May 19. I had the chance to speak with McQuarrie over the phone, and here's what he had to say about his latest film.

So Valkyrie was your first feature since The Way of the Gun in 2000, so when did you first discover this story and decide »

Kenneth Branagh has confirmed that his Wallander co-star Tom Hiddleston is in the running for the role of Thor in the comic book adaptation.

Branagh, who's directing Thor for Marvel Studios, also revealed that filming begins in January. Thor, based on the Marvel Comics version of the Norse thunder god, is set for release on May 20, 2011.

Branagh told IGN: "I'm working currently on Thor. We're having a great time at the moment. We're in intense pre-production.

"I shoot Thor in January of next year and because the time of release has been moved, it's allowed me to have a moment in the summer where I can shoot the Wallanders.

"Tom Hiddleston (pictured) is a great actor and he, amongst a number of others, has been part of the group we've spoken to and all that's still a work in progress."

He added: "And, strangely, there's a weird, pleasing connection between »
