Benedict in German film magazine "epd film" (1/15)
Benedict features prominently on the cover of the current epd film magazine (issue 1/15). Inside is a long article about Benedict's career with some nice pictures and a wonderful centrefold plus a review of The Imitation Game.
At a first glance I only spotted one inaccuracy, the description of Parade's End puts the story around WWII instead of WWI.

Thanks for that, diva. And it was about time they finally take notice... but of course: Benedict's Alan is compared to his Sherlock. God, this is so boring...

Well, one reason could be the same voice actor ...

Re: Benedict in German film magazine "epd film" (1/15)
Yes, it is good to see that he finally gets some appreciation in Germany. Although I do not agree with this:
Eine erste Andeutung ist in HAWKING wahrnehmbar, doch im Vergleich zu Eddie Redmayne, der gerade in DIE ENTDECKUNG DER UNENDLICHKEIT die ganze Brüchigkeit von Hawkings physischer Existenz durchgespielt hat, kratzt Cumberbatch nur an der Oberfläche.
This may be due to the fact that he played Hawking at the very beginning of his illness when only the first symptoms showed. Which does not mean that his increasing problems in walking and using his hands and the slurring of his speech and his initial desperation and later courage were not done brilliantly. He and Eddie Redmayne show us two different periods of Hawking's life but it is not really fair to call Benedict's version superficial.
But taken all in all this is a very nice way of bringing him to people's attention over here.
