This year’s Toronto Film Festival has ended, but that doesn’t mean we’re over the slew of stylish stars that hit up the annual fest to promote their latest flicks (it is #ThrowbackThursday, after all). Luckily, we still have the chance to get to know them post-TIFF in Mr Porter’s recently redesigned weekly online magazine The Journal, with the latest portfolio titled “The Movie Set” that features a handsome crew of gifted actors and prolific programmers from the Canadian film fest.
Styled by Mr. Porter style director Dan May and photographed by Blair Getz Mezibov, the black-and-white photo spread features The Face of an Angel’s Daniel Bruhl, Love & Mercy‘s Paul Dano; The Imitation Game‘s Matthew Goode; The Riot Club‘s Sam Claflin, Max Irons and Douglas Booth; The Good Lie‘s Arnold Oceng and Ger Duany; and Thom Powers, documentary programmer of TIFF. Along with their portraits, the portfolio also includes Q&As with each gentleman.
For Duany, who will star opposite of Oceng and Reese Witherspoon in the drama The Good Lie, tells the e-zine that traveling to study in the U.S. was something “that everybody dreamed about in Sudan. It was the dream.” He adds: “Being able to make that happen felt like such a blessing, so everything else that came along, every opportunity that presented itself, I just took it.”
Meanwhile, Goode shares that he’d “fall in love with anyone that’s talented.”
“I’d be just as starstruck to see Michael Caine or Robert De Niro walk through the door right now as I would be if it were a relatively unknown golfer from the European tour, like, say, David Lynn. Or Danny Willett,” he says.
Well, if that’s the case, we hope Goode falls in love with us someday. Just saying.
Check out a few snapshots from the portfolio and see what everyone else had to say over at mrporter.com.
I have started adding captures to the gallery at last. Episodes 1 & 2 of Dancing on the Edge have been added to the gallery which saw Matthew play the role of Stanley. I have also added a new interview i have found on the BBC website.
Plot:
The series follows a black jazz band’s experiences in London in the 1930s. Made up of talented musicians and managed by the compassionate yet short-tempered Wesley Holt, the band gets a gig at the Imperial Hotel, by the way of the cunning journalist, Stanley Mitchell. They prove to be a hit, and become a success at the hotel. Countless aristocrats—and the Royal Family—ask the band to play at parties. The media rush to interview and photograph the band—including the ambitious American businessman, Walter Masterson and his enthusiastic employee, Julian. The band’s success spirals, they’re being offered record deals. But tragedy strikes, setting off a chain of events that may wreck the band’s career.

It’s November 30, 1962. Native Brit George Falconer, an English professor at a Los Angeles area college, is finding it difficult to cope with life. Jim, his personal partner of sixteen years, died in a car accident eight months earlier when he was visiting with family. Jim’s family were not going to tell George of the death or accident, let alone allow him to attend the funeral. This day, George has decided to get his affairs in order before he will commit suicide that evening. As he routinely and fastidiously prepares for the suicide and post suicide, George reminisces about his life with Jim. But George spends this day with various people, who see a man sadder than usual and who affect his own thoughts about what he is going to do.

MyAnna Buring and Matthew Goode are to star in a new drama for ITV1.
The Poison Tree will follow Karen Clarke (Buring), a haunted woman who goes to extraordinary lengths to protect her family.
After encountering the glamorous Biba (Ophelia Lovibond) and her handsome brother Rex (Watchmen actor Goode), Karen is drawn into their “tragic family history” and their “long summer of love” soon becomes a “nightmare”.
The two-part drama – based on the novel by Erin Kelly – has been written by Emilia di Girolamo (Law & Order: UK).
“We are delighted to be working with STV and Emilia di Girolamo on this intriguing and emotional thriller,” said ITV’s Steve November. “Erin Kelly’s novel is rich and absorbing and is perfectly suited to ITV.”
Margaret Enefer – Head of Drama for STV Productions – added: “We are thrilled to be bringing this dark and bewitching psychological thriller to life on screen for ITV1. We’re certain it will grip viewers from start to finish.”
The Poison Tree will enter production this summer and will air on ITV1 later this year.
I have finally added over 1000 captures of Matthews role in Brideshead Revisited, which was mostly filmed very close to my home.
A poignant story of forbidden love and the loss of innocence set in England prior to the Second World War. The memoirs of Captain Charles Ryder who is stationed at Brideshead Castle during WWII and remembers his involvement with the owners of the Brideshead estate: the aristocratic yet Catholic Flyte family and in particular brother and sister Sebastian and Julia.
