GQ Daily has a story about whether the public fascination with Jude's life would detract from his performance as Hamlet.

BTW, I'm done posting reviews of Hamlet (at least until NY). I've included all of the big reviews.

This is London reported that Ewan McGregor and Sadie Frost both went to see Jude.



Sadie Frost and Ewan McGregor turn out for Jude Law

It's good to see that Jude Law can rely on the support of his ex-wife Sadie Frost when it comes to something as important as his new play.

Law, 36, is starring in Hamlet at the Wyndhams theatre in the West End.

His pal Ewan McGregor also joined the all-star cheerleading team last night.

Phew, what an audience!

Muso's Guide reported that Jude was at the Blur on June 22nd. (BTW, The News of the World also reported the same thing, but I saw this one first). I'm not including the article because the one mention of Jude is "...oh, and there’s Jude Law."

WalesOnline has an interview with Jude's understudy, Matt Ryan, who also plays Horatio.

The Mail Online also has a mention of the Broadway rumors. One or two other sites have reported this also, citing The Daily Mail as the source. This is the excerpt:

Jude Law, who is playing Hamlet in Michael Grandage's excellent production at Wyndham's Theatre - the final play in the Donmar West End season. Several New York producers have seen it and there have been ongoing talks about taking the play to Broadway.

But a spokeswoman for the Donmar cautions: 'There's a will, there's an interest, but nothing to confirm.' If a deal does get worked out, I gather Grandage would want to take the Wyndham's ensemble and not re-cast with American actors around Jude.

film.com has an article about good trailers vs. bad trailers that includes a mention of the Sherlock Holmes trailer as an example of a good one. You can read the entire article at the link provided. This is the excerpt on Sherlock Holmes:

I already suspected that I may well like Guy Ritchie's upcoming reboot of Sherlock Holmes, starring Robert Downey Jr. as the world's first consulting detective and Jude Law as his sidekick, Mr. Watson. And now that I've seen the brand-new teaser trailer, that suspicion is even stronger. This is what a trailer should do: offer hints as to what's in store for the viewer without giving away the store. And here we have some slam-bang action, a dose of rowdy violence, a couple clues about the good-natured (and sometimes not) contentiousness between Holmes and Watson, and a few little suggestions that this is not quite Conan Doyle's Holmes (featuring Rachel McAdams in lacy Victorian underwear and Holmes in handcuffs). There's the merest implication that the plot will have something to do with a nefarious bad guy. Holmes devotees can guess that one unnamed character we see is probably LeStrade, Holmes' nemesis on the London police force. It's everything certain Holmes purists will need to know to know that they won't want to see this movie, without wrecking the experience for those of us who cannot freakin' wait.
