Heating things up in Moscow

Cillian—along with director Danny Boyle, producer Andrew Macdonald, science advisor Dr. Brian Cox, and SunshineDNA's Gia—was in Moscow this week promoting the Russian premiere of Sunshine. Gia has a wonderful account of their trip, which sounds like a very healthy balance of press conferences, sightseeing, and vodka!

Seeing the film for the first time in Russian, Gia reports that the dubbing was spot on:

Cillian's, Rose's and Michelle's dubbed voices sounded exactly like them talking in Russian—it was amazing. Also, the voice of Icarus sounded perfect in Russian.

And although she doesn't speak Russian, she was soundly impressed by the crowd's reaction:

...during the final shot of the film they broke out into a large round of applause before they even knew it was the end of the film! They were by far the most expressive audience I've ever watched the film with.

Gia has a detailed account of the happenings at the SunshineDNA blog and we've added her pictures to our gallery.

Watching for Detectives news

Watching the Detectives director Paul Soter has an amusing post on The Huffington Post. Soter was yesterday's guest blogger as part of their feature on the Tribeca Film Festival.

Speaking of TFF, the festival website has a more detailed synopsis of Watching the Detectives than I've seen previously:

Neil (Cillian Murphy) is a quirky cinephile who owns Gumshoe Video, an independent video store specializing in the strange, the offbeat, and the hard to find. A self-proclaimed film geek, Neil lives vicariously through his favorite classic films, even going so far as to tell his girlfriend that she's "not enough like Katharine Ross in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" when she tells him he needs to grow up. But when Neil meets Violet (Lucy Liu), everything is turned upside down. Violet is a real-life femme fatale, spontaneous and outrageous, who doesn't just wait for life to be like the movies—she goes out of her way to make it so. The trouble is, Neil is used to—and content with—watching movies, not actually acting them out, and is completely caught off-guard by her "do—don't watch" attitude. Murphy deftly takes on Neil's straight-and-narrow personality, while Liu tackles Violet's mystery and vibrancy with gusto. Director Paul Soter, best known for his writing and acting work with the comedy group Broken Lizard makes his directorial debut with a charming and witty take on what it might be like if day-to-day existence really was larger than life. Sometimes love is stranger than fiction, and Neil is about to discover just how strange it can be.

Cillian in Russia

Hi Guys, Did not save the closeup of Cillian in front of St. Basil's; wonder why it bothered him? Anyhow, I respect his privacy. If I saw him in person, I would do what I've done here in DC with other famous folks. I'd flash a big smile of recognition with a quick wink or a wave and then quickly be on my way. In each case, from Yoko Ono to Hillary Clinton, they usually return the same! gesture.

Bonnie, I love that picture too (he did look like he was having fun!), but Cillian asked Gia to take it down. We've also removed it from our gallery archives, as have the other fansites. If you've saved it, please respect his privacy and please don't post it elsewhere.

Cillian's Dress and Gigs

I love the closeup of Cillian in front of St. Basil's in Red Square. The man can wear the plainest clothing (98 percent of the time) or a tux (Cannes and Golden Globes) and still be so gorgeous! My favorite Cillian ensemble includes jeans, teeshirt, and tailored suitcoat with running shoes. I know these appearances are necessary gigs to promote his movies, but I hope he's having fun too!
