Come August 19th, we will be able to see our beloved Sirius Black, a.k.a Gary Oldman, on the big screen once again. Gary will be playing Nathaniel Shepherd, a NASA scientist in charge of sending astronauts to live on Mars.
With Gary Oldman alongside Asa Butterfield and Britt Robertson, The Space Between Us is about a boy who was born on Mars and raised by scientists. Gardner Elliot (Asa Butterfield) returns to Earth to find his father, only to find that his body can’t quite function properly on Earth. The trailer for the film can be seen below:
Excalibur Auctions will be selling off a Sirius Black ‘wanted’ style poster from the promotion of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban film in just a few days time.
The promotional poster is one of less than ten of this kind known to be produced for the film, leading Excalibur Auctions to call this ‘one of the rarest posters ever produced to publicise the films’.
It is particularly unique due to its lenticular design, meaning that the images changes depending on which angle you view it from. Sirius Black (Gary Oldman) is in the shot if you view the poster from head on, and he disappears if you angle the poster slightly differently. Clearly this format was much more expensive to produce, leading to the remaining posters being coveted!
The poster is predicted to sell for £4,000-£6,000, and the auction will take place at The Village Hotel in Elstree, Watford on Saturday 28th May 2016 at 10:30am. Live bidding will occur in the room, with internet bidding available at The Sale Room and Invaluable.
The auction will also feature a Star Wars Episode II Yoda lenticular poster, a 1920s Sherlock Holmes window card and many James Bond themed items (including original Quad posters from Dr No and From Russia With Love.
More information can be found on the Excalibur Auctions website, here.
Gary Oldman (Harry Potter‘s Sirius Black) features in the new action film, Criminal, showing in theaters now.
Criminal is a spy thriller about a mission gone wrong. Oldman plays a CIA bureau chief named Quaker Wells. When one of his agents dies trying to reach a young hacker (Michael Pitt), Wells finds a neurosurgeon (Tommy Lee Jones) who is experimenting with memory transfer to input the memories from his agent into the mind of a death-row inmate named Jericho (Kevin Costner). Jericho must then find where the hacker is hidden before the bad guys do.
Criminal opened April 15, and reviews have been mixed. Of Oldman’s performance, The Daily Mail Online says that he “looks like he’s having fun as the CIA chief trying to prevent mass destruction.” But The Hollywood Reporter says that “from such a good actor, this performance seems entirely misdirected and inauthentic for a figure requiring maximum shrewdness and smarts.”
The consensus is that while the action scenes can be exciting, the stellar cast, with Ryan Reynolds and Gal Gadot filling out the lead roles, are not used to their potential. Reviewers agreed that the main actors (Oldman, Costner, and Jones) were obviously having a great time on the film, probably enjoying their reunion after working together on JFK (1991).
If Gary Oldman wants to make a movie just to get paid to hang out with his friends, then we won’t fault him for it.

The 2016 BAFTA Film awards took place in the U.K. last night, at London’s Royal Opera House. Stephen Fry hosted the event, and Eddie Redmayne, Dame Maggie Smith, Julie Walters were also in attendance, with nominations in the Leading Actor, Leading Actress and Supporting Actress categories respectively.
Dame Maggie Smith also got caught on the kiss cam (see below), with none other than Leo DiCaprio! After the initial shock she pulled him in for a lovely hug – probably the most adorable kiss-cam we’ve seen (Stephen Fry called it “a marriage made in heaven”:
Giving a shout-out to Dame Smith in his opening speech, Stephen Fry joked “If she were any more of an institution, she’d have railings around her!” – we can’t help but agree!
Eddie Redmayne also presented the award for Best Supporting Actress (which went to Kate Winslet). Radio Times caught him on the red carpet, where he spoke about the event’s hype:
“There’s still an adrenaline buzz and an excitement that comes. You give your everything and hope people enjoy it so when you get to these things you hope people have seen the films.”
They also reported on the winner’s press conference, in which Julie Walters admitted to losing her (expensive) earring:
“Julie Walters has been backstage in the winners press conference, discussing her role in the Brooklyn TV spin-off and the worrying misplacement of her earring on the way up to the stage. Apparently it’s borrowed and worth more than her house!”
Halfway through the evening marked the time for a tribute to huge contributors to the film industry who have sadly passed away, which included a touching tribute to Alan Rickman, featuring clips from Harry Potter, Robin Hood and Truly Madly Deeply.
The award for Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema went to Angels Costumes, who provided costumes for Harry Potter, along with James Bond, Pirates of the Caribbean and Star Wars.
Domhnall Gleeson presented the Best Film In a Foreign Language award, alongside Star Wars co–star, Carrie Fisher.
Leonardo DiCaprio gave a shout-out to Gary Oldman in his acceptance speech for Best Actor.
Though Maggie Smith and Eddie Redmayne may not have won Best Actress / Actor (losing out to Brie Larson of Room and Leonardo DiCaprio for The Revenant), Brooklyn – starring Julie Walters and Domhnall Gleeson – won the Outstanding British Film Award, whilst Star Wars: The Force Awakens (also featuring Domhnall Gleeson) won Best Visual Effects – congratulations!
Next up, the Oscars (28th February)! Eddie Redmayne is nominated for Best Actor, his film The Danish Girl is up for Costume Design and Production Design, whilst Julie Walters and Domhnall Gleeson’s Brooklyn is nominated for Best Picture and Adapted Screenplay.
Gary Oldman (Sirius Black) and long time pal and manger-producer, Douglas Urbanski, have signed a publishing deal with Simon & Schuster/Atria Publishing label Emily Bestler Books, for their first co-authored book series, Blood Riders. It is not known how long the series will be, but EW reported that the pair have finished manuscripts for the first three books.
The novel is a vampire saga. Some people groan with dread, as the sub-genre of “vampire saga” has proliferated beyond reasonable control since the publication of the Twilight saga. However, we have reasons to hope for the best for this novel. Earlier this week, a press release announced the series, and gave detail into it’s plot. Personally, I think it sounds fascinating. The press release states:
‘The collaboration of Gary Oldman and Doug Urbanski is one that has spanned 30 years, as actor/manager, director/producer, as friends, and now as co-authors.
“We have always wanted to write a story of vampire cowboys, set in the Wild West, the gold rush—and we have had these characters and this story kicking around in our heads for years. We hope everyone is drawn to Magnus and we envision a series of books that follow his curse and struggles with the forces of good and evil, and also the ever present vampire ingredients of blood, and love,” Oldman and Urbanski said in a joint statement.
“BLOOD RIDERS adds a vibrant new twist to the iconic vampire story making the novel’s hero deeply human, deeply conflicted and deeply original,” Bestler said.‘
The press release goes on to state Oldman and Urbanski’s accomplishments in the film industry over the years, and can be read in its entirety, here. Urbanski gave an interview with Deadline, shortly after the press release, and discussed the book series further. Deadline reports:
‘[It] came about because of the persistence of Gotham-based AGI Vigliano lit agent David Vigliano. He had been coaxing them to write a book on the political landscape or their adventures together (which included the discovery that an imposter posing as Oldman had joined the audition process for the 1999 Andy Kaufman pic Man On The Moon). Urbanski wasn’t swayed.
“I couldn’t think of anything more boring,” he said. “But back in 2009 when Gary was filming Book Of Eli, we came up with this story that had to do with vampires. Whether it might be a film, a series of books or a TV show, we didn’t pigeonhole it but we but buzzed by the idea. We met several times in my kitchen, mapped out the story and where it would go, reinventing the rules and realities of vampires and sex and the power of love. There were rabbit trails that went nowhere, but we concluded that we had landed on something we hadn’t seen done before.‘
‘Urbanski was spare on describing the plot, but said there is a strong protagonist who carries a curse. He said plans haven’t solidified yet on setting it up for a movie of TV project. “First concern is to make sure the book comes out and is really good and we are planning a series of three of them,” Urbanski said. “The first one ends leaving you needing to know what becomes of Magnus, the hero who had a curse placed on him by a vampire.”‘
The rest of the Deadline interview can be read here. A publication date has yet to be nailed down, but the publishing company announced in the press release that they anticipate a Spring 2016 release.

"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" won the top prize at the Jameson Empire Awards for Best Film. Director David Yates also picked up an award for Best Director for his work on the final "Harry Potter" film.
The ceremony in London was attended by several Potter cast members, including Matthew Lewis, Bonnie Wright and Evanna Lynch. Daniel Radcliffe, who is currently shooting "Kill Your Darlings" in New York, sent a video message thanking everyone for their votes. According to BBC Newsbeat:
Daniel Radcliffe was unable to attend the ceremony to receive the
Harry Potter prize, but left a video message, saying: "I've always been
quite a harsh judge of the series, but I was over the moon with this
final film; I think we went out on a high note."
Picking up the best director prize, Yates added: "Anyone
who's ever directed a movie like this knows that it's a huge great
family that helps bring these movies to fruition and makes them what
they are."
Gary Oldman (Sirius Black) also won Best Actor for his work in the film "Tinker Tailor Solider Spy." Photos from the event can be seen at Empire's
