News about Fionn Whitehead

Cillian Murphy's latest role as J. Robert Oppenheimer in Christopher Nolan's "Oppenheimer" has received a lot of buzz and critical acclaim, with some predicting that his intimate, complicated portrayal of the man behind the atomic bomb would gain him an Academy Award. Despite the fact that Murphy is unquestionably brilliant in the biographical epic, the Irish actor has spent more than 25 years of preparation for the role in film, television, and theatre. Murphy, as many actors, began his acting career on stage. He made his stage debut in Enda Walsh's "Disco Pigs" in 1996, which was later turned into a full film starring Murphy in 2001. By the early 2000s, the actor appeared in numerous films, but his role as Jim in the post-apocalyptic horror film "28 Days Later" launched him into Hollywood. In 2005, he appeared in "Batman Begins" and began what would be a decades-long friendship with Christopher Nolan. "I was a Chris Nolan fan." I was insomnia when I first saw him for the first time because, 'I'd seen 'Memento,' I'd watched 'Insomnia,' I'd been there.' And on the basis of being a fan, I met him for 'Batman Begins'. Murphy told Rolling Stone in 2023, "it seems strange" that I've appeared in six of his films.

When the British classic Great Expectations came to an end with a different ending, viewers were left raging. However, this is far from the first time that the BBC has changed an adaptation. The Night Manager (left), Killing Eve (centre), Malory Towers (right inset), and His Dark Materials were among the Oher sequences that were redesigned when they first appeared on television.

When the new version of Great Expectations came to an end on Sunday evening, BBC viewers were left raving, with a different ending to Dickens' version. Miss Havisham and Fionn Whitehead as Pip, Steven Knight's adaptation, which stars Olivia Colman, has been mired in controversy over recent plot enhancements, including the portrayal of opium addiction and sadomasochism.

Since the first episode aired last month, the BBC's latest iteration of Great Expectations has been a ratings flop. The adaptation by Steven Knight, starring Olivia Colman as Miss Havisham and Fionn Whitehead as Pip, has been mired in controversy over allegations of awakening and the inclusion of opium addiction and sadomasochism. Episode one attracted 4.4 million viewers, but 1.8 million by episode two had been turned off.

As he shot the new BBC adaptation of Great Expectations with his co-star Rudi Dharmalingam, Fionn Whitehead said he 'couldn't stop laughing.' Olivia Coleman starred as Miss Havisham and Shalom Brune-Franklin as Estella in the latest BBC adaptation, which has also been criticized by television viewers and commentators for being'sexed-up' by television viewers and observers. Fionn, 25, who plays Pip, in the series, told The Daily Star about the fun the cast had behind the scenes of shooting the Charles Dickens classic.

Fans of the BBC's new adaptation of Great Expectations have sluggish after the show was savaged for its 'gratuitous' sex scenes and profane words. Despite being sluggish by critics, some viewers remain enthused by the sexed up story, with one predicting that author Charles Dickens, who wrote the book in 1861, would have 'loved it'. Fionn Whitehead portrays Miss Havisham in the Peaky Blinders' script, written by Stephen Knight.

Nick Knowles slammed the latest BBC version of Great Expectations, saying that it's 'unnecessively salacious' and a'car accident.' As he began a tumultuous rant on Monday, the DIY SOS 60+ actor questioned, "why we sex up period dramas?" He ended up 'turning off' the series that 'failed to live up to its name,' he posted on Twitter.'

CHRISTOPHER STEVENS: If you felt the first part of Great Expectations (BBC1) was traumatic, the second episode was even worse. Any part of this adaptation is beyond belief, but the majority of all exposes Steven Knight's storytelling in a brutal way.

Last night, viewers of BBC1's Great Expectations were welcomed to a naked Mr Pumblechook who had been spanked over a bed by housewife-turned-dominatrix Mrs Gargery. The Dickens Fellowship blasted the 'gratuious' scene, saying there is "no hint of sexual deviance" in the story. Steven Knight, a screenwriter best known for Peaky Blinders, has sexed up the tale in a nod to subjects that he believes the author pondered over but didn't explore in nineteenth-century Britain.

When watching the first episode of the BBC1 series on Sunday night, dissatisfied Great Expectations viewers said they'switch over'. Many who attended Charlies Dickens' 1861 novel complained that it was too dark, had too much swearing, and was unrecognizable from the original story. The novel has been rewritten by Peaky Blinders creator Stephen, but those watching this version at home were unimpressed.

Ebenezer Scrooge was depicted in his version of A Christmas Carol as a violent schoolboy who grew up to lure Tiny Tim's mother into prostitution. So perhaps it's no surprise that Steven Knight's BBC1 version of Great Expectations converts Miss Havisham, played by Olivia Colman, into an opium addict, as seen below. There have been references to the British Empire's links to the slave trade in several stories, with several characters hammering home an anti-colonial message.

Olivia Colman anchored her co-stars at a photocall for the BBC's version of Great Expectations in a stunning blue sequinned gown. The actress, 49, was stunned in her stunning gown at the London event on Tuesday. She was joined by co-stars Fionn Whitehead and Shalom Brune-Franklin at the photocall ahead of the series's debut on BBC One on Sunday, March 26.

The first full trailer for Steven Knight's forthcoming adaptation of Charles Dickens' Great Expectations has been posted on BBC and FX. In the eerie and twisted 2-minute teaser, Olivia Colman, 49, transforms into a jilted once-bride-to-be Miss Havisham. Fionn Whitehead, a Dunkirk actor, stars in the new film opposite Line Of Duty actor Shalom Brune-Franklin as his love interest Estella.

In the first teaser trailer for BBC's forthcoming adaptation of Great Expectations, Olivia Colman looks unrecognizable with white hair and yellow teeth. For the first time in the film, the actress, 49, who plays Miss Havisham in Charles Dickens' masterpiece, welcomes a young Pip (Tom Sweet) to Satis House. "Let me see you... what a prize creature we've fished from the river," Fionn Whitehead says later.
