First Pics from The Oxford Murders



Sometimes I wonder if these little tidbits and sneak peeks help or hinder a film's chances for success. With the nature of the Internet and lightening-fast communications, people often make snap judgments about a film and its relative merits, with only the minimalist of facts. It even happens to your humble Cinematical writers occasionally as well. So, to help facilitate your ability to make snap-judgments, the first pics from the upcoming Elijah Wood starrer The Oxford Murders have hit the web. Now, before you rabid Wood fans (you know who you are) click the link and rush over to the site, there's one caveat -- the site is in Spanish

Don't get me wrong, I like Spanish. Its a great language. I just don't happen to read it well. If you don't either, all you'll be able to do is look at the pics and you will not get to enjoy any of the commentary on them provided at the site. However, the pics do pretty much speak for themselves and provide a few clues as to the nature of the film. As the film follows the story of students at a highly-regarded English school who investigate a murder, one would assume the pics would include students in various situations that follow that kind of story -- and you would assume correctly.

Among the pics are several featuring Wood looking concerned, discovering a clue and, of course, trying to escape the killer. There's also a pic of the requisite love-interest (played by Leonor Watling), the Sherlock Holmes-like professor who mentors Wood's character (played by John Hurt) and one or two behind-the-scenes photos where director Alex de la Iglesia works with Wood and his co-stars. So go, enjoy. And if any of you read Spanish, how about reporting back and telling us what the site says about the pics?

Is that the correct use of the word "minimalist"?

And I love Elijah. He and DanRad need to be in a movie together.

As I commented above, I was an extra in this film too and for 2 days I sat directly behind Elijah in the lecture theatre scene and he was so lovely. He did keep to himself mostly but he was really polite, chatty when he wanted to be and interested in the people sitting around him. Plus it was an incredible privilege to watch both him and John Hurt work, they're both amazing actors. I got to chat to Mr Hurt for a bit too and he is a really charming man.

In case anyone is wondering about the Spanish thing, the director is Spanish and his English isnt brilliant (at one point he stood in front of us and said "my english is fucking retarded" lol). Anyway, he had to have a translator to explain everything he wanted us and the actors to do, so it all took longer than I guess it would normally. The book that the film is based on was originally written in Spanish and then translated to English which is I guess why he wanted to make it.

At first glance, I thought Elijah was wearing a Slytherin scarf.

He's so purty.
