No matter what kind of film fan you are, you’ve probably enjoyed one of Tom Hiddleston’s performances this year, be it as the villainous Loki in Thor or as F. Scott Fitzgerald in Midnight in Paris, he’s certainly done well for himself and next he’ll be seen alongside Rachel Weisz who is ramping up for a big end of 2011 in The Deep Blue Sea, directed by Terence Davies (The House of Mirth).
The film is one of two features Weisz will be seen in at the festival, the other being 360 (more on that shortly), and here she stars as Hester Collyer, a woman leading a privileged life in 1950s London as the beautiful wife of high court judge Sir William Collyer (Simon Russell Beale). To the shock of those around her, she walks out on her marriage to move in with young ex-RAF pilot, Freddie Page (Hiddleston), with whom she has fallen passionately in love.
The images you see here are truly striking, shot by cinematographer Florian Hoffmeister. The film will be making its world premiere at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival this September.
The 2011 Toronto International Film Festival plays from September 8-18. For my complete coverage click here.
