Its ostensibly this heist film, adds Isaac, but its everything that happens after that....

If youve got a blockbuster that needs a villain, theres really only one guy you turn to. Mendelsohn technically plays two roles one as Talos (under prosthetics) and one as the human S.H.I.E.L.D. agent he impersonates on Earth.

To find a way to scare myself again and do something new and appropriately dangerous is really exciting. What came later was the confidence to write and co-write that music myself. The result of those efforts is a 12-track record, on which Platt helped write every song. He came away with around some 40 songs before locking in on the 12 that made the final cut. In some ways, the album is a departure from Platts Tony-award winning musical theatre stylings....

While White has sinceapologizedand taken down the image of his costume,Tropic ThunderactorBen Stillerhas also spoken out. It was always meant to make fun of actors trying to do anything to win awards. Disability is not a joke nor should it be a punchline.

Norman Scott is still alive. Did you have the chance to speak with him at all?...

Credit: Charles Sykes/Invision/AP/REX/Shutterstock; Illumination and Universal Pictures I basically knew the picture book. That was the thing that made an impact. I knew exactly what the character was, who he was, who the Whos were. I think Dr. Seuss is remarkable. Despite the Grinch being a Grinch and not really a human, its very human....

Its just mind-blowingly epic. What I thought is, this just doesnt stop. Once it starts, it does. This isnt a slow burn. Youre really thrown in helter-skelter. I kind of had to have a bit of an overview to understand what I was doing in it. Maybe Im just a bit more stupid than the other actors involved. I just need a little bit of special care. I actually dont know whether youre joking or not....

Philip K. Dicks Electric Dreamsis a science-fiction anthology, streaming now on Amazon. Comparisons spring to mind, but the source material forElectric Dreamsdoesnt just predateBlack Mirror. No one would pick out any of theElectric Dreamsstories as all-time classics. Credit: Amazon (A cynic wonders if theyre the only PKD material left unclaimed after decades of sold-off film rights.)
