The Child in Time
An exciting new project for Benedict as actor and co-producer:

Re: The Child in Time
I haven't read this particular book because of the subject matter but I am a fan of McEwan's writing. I may have to force myself. And of course I can imagine BC would be spectacular in the role described. Being a father now himself will affect his performance I'm sure.

Re: The Child in Time
Just my thought, tonnaree when I read that!
I am sure it's going to be heart-bteakingly good!

Re: The Child in Time
Another book after "Rogue Male". Benedict keeps me reading...

John: "Have you spoken to Mycroft, Molly, uh, anyone?"
Mrs Hudson: "They don’t matter. You do."

Same here! Also a McEwan fan for many years, but this is one of the few of his that I haven't read. I'm not sure whether to read it or just wait for the film. I think it's lovely that Ian McEwan liked Benedict so much in Atonement, and that he feels honored by the casting!

Re: The Child in Time
What I also love about it is this (although I expected nothing else): that he is getting involved as a producer as well, choosing projects that are close to his heart, and that he keeps working at home. I am sure it was due to him that Doctor Strange and The Current War were shot in the UK. It is great to see that he is still interested in doing TV and not just focuses on the big screen now.

Re: The Child in Time
Just saw the pics on tumblr, he's looking good 
and so nice the filming is in London so he's near his boys and Sophie.
Definitely a film I'd like to see. After that marvel thingy and our favourite consulting detective finally he plays an average guy again.

Re: The Child in Time
Yes, I just read the book and like it very much. A very human and extraordinary story. And it will be nice to see him looking more or less like himself for a change.

Re: The Child in Time
I haven't, but I gather it's going to be a weepy...must be incredibly sad for a new parent.

Re: The Child in Time
Yes, I think it must be hard for him to film this.
