In the early summer of 1956, 23 year-old Colin Clark, just down from Oxford and determined to make his way in the film business, worked as a lowly assistant on the set of "The Prince and The Showgirl", the film that united Sir Laurence Olivier with Marilyn Monroe.

The first pictures of the “Richard II” rehearsals have surfaced!
Remember ‘Richard II’ opens on December 6th at the Donmar Warehouse in London. Here‘s a very interesting interview of Eddie talking about this particular project.
‘Kenneth Branagh, who plays Laurence Olivier, says in Marilyn at one point: “Welcome to the circus,” and it does feel like that at times. It’s easy to get caught up in the bulls***. But there’s that amazing line in Richard II that I get to say every night: “Nor I nor any man that but man is/ With nothing shall be pleased, till he be eased/With being nothing.” And it gives me back perspective.’ Source

The first reviews for “My Week with Marilyn” that premiered today at the New York Film Festival with a screening of the film and a Q&A after are out. Even though most of them focus on Michelle Williams’ performance as Marilyn Monroe, you can find some tidbits about Eddie.
“The reason so many extraordinary actors were working on this film was because they love working for Simon,” said Redmayne. “He has a wonderful facility with actors.”
Redmayne is adorably naive and mouth-gaped throughout, giving Colin a bit of hapless charm that never feels forced.
[...] and especially Redmayne. His Clarke is a perfect blend of innocence and surfacing sexual energy. In fact, his warmth and excitability pull you into the film more than Williams’s Monroe.
A new still of Eddie as Colin Clark in “My Week with Marilyn” has surfaced. The film is set to premiere at the New York Film Festival this weekend and will hit theatres on November 5th. Take a look!
In other news, according to broadway.com the full cast has been announced for the Donmar Warehouse’s production of Shakespeare’s Richard II in which Eddie stars.
In Shakespeare’s epic tale of destruction, ruin and decay, King Richard banishes his noblemen and seizes their land to fuel his own wars. As anger mounts, a battle for the soul of England begins and one man’s divine right to rule is called into question.
