What a fantastic interview!

[insanityclause]

Esquire and Radio Times have great interviews with Tom (there are videos to them, too), and I already saw some reviews and they are glowing. i did not expect Pompeii to turn into the most anticipated project of this year so fast but here I am. Tom really seemed to put his heart into that one

Yeah, I have to catch up with these. WSJ has something, too.

Tenzing is a Canadian premiere at TIFF; do you think it will premiere at Telluride first, or has it already premiered at another festival?

It hasn’t screened at a festival anywhere yet.

Yes, Canadian premiere means it will be at Telluride - otherwise it would be a North American premiere.

However, it not being the international premiere - considering it’s a US/Australia production - may mean it’s going to Venice, too.

[tenzingfilm]

Will screen at TIFF (and Telluride, since it’s a Canadian premiere).

[insanityclause]

Tom is really excited about Tenzing. Can´t wait to see it. But he sounded so determined about doing more stuff like Pompeii. I love it, honestly. Could it be a great way for him to try directing? It may be a bit easier than jump into a full movie.

Absolutely it could. Would love to see it!

It's here!!!

[doctortwhohiddles]

Typical selfish behavior from the Republicunts.

Do something about the smoke from the fires they demand. Like we have control over the wind.

We had to deal with the smoke here a few days ago. It's not fun. But it's nowhere near as bas as it is for those forced to flee their homes. Something the morons from the GOP seem to forget.

We have to deal with the fumes coming from the dumpster fire that is the US government. Something far more toxic and dangerous.

[insanityclause]

Yes - and we've had to deal with pollution from Michigan and Ohio since I was young! Most of our bad air days in SOnt are because of them.

[doctortwhohiddles]

What sort of fumes did you guys get?

Yellow skies with a strong smell of campfire.

But it saved us from major thunderstorms. The weather services were announcing several storms because of the heat and humidity. But the smoke prevented it 🤷‍♀️.

Right now, it's Toronto that's suffering the most. The wind will shift it back to us, but it's going to be rainy, which helps with the air quality.

Summers are getting hotter and drier due to climate change. So this type of situation is going to happen a lot more. It's Canada. The bulk of the country is covered in highly flammable trees.

[insanityclause]

We had rain today, and I actually saw a tiny patch of blue at one point - unlike earlier in the week. But if it doesn't tamp down the fire area, the smoke will be back.

And there are more fires out west in the US now, and there were lightning strikes, so we'll probably get some more smoke from that.

And it's a weird campfire smell.

I'm scared to read the article. What's the worst they're saying about him? It's exhausting to see publications continue to trash him for seemingly no reason.

It's a perfectly fine, generally positive review of the show - he calls it elegiac and moving, and also majestic and brutal.

The guy just seems to be hung up on Tom as a person.

[insanityclause]

The translation is a little wonky, but I think the person is saying these are the two friends Tom visited Pompeii with in 1988. They look kind of familiar, but I can't place them. Do you recognize either? From this and other pictures we've seen in the past, it's funny how Tom's university friends all seem to be taller than him when Tom is so tall. www,instagram,com/p/Da8PqOAjASQ

Yeah, that seems to be the intention - but the year's off, of course. That's cool he was able to take them to the premiere after that trip was the inspiration.

I've never seen them before. One is named Anthony Bowles - he took the picture of Tom and is credited wherever it's printed - and I forget the other one's name (Tom mentioned it on the BBC this morning though).

I think it is really just me but I feel like there is more promotion and material for Pompeii than The Night Manager. Is it maybe that this is Disney+ and Nat Geo?

Definitely the Disney/NatGeo marketing team at work, doing what they do best.

[insanityclause]

There is a pretty positive review in Guardian of Pompeii. But again, their dismissing of Tom is painful and cringe to read. I wonder what he ever did to them they can write such drivel about him personally in every second article about him or his projects

Ah, of course it's written by a (not successful) actor. Lots of tall poppy syndrome in the write-up.

Pompeii: Out of Time With Tom Hiddleston – the tale of ordinary Romans’ hopeless heroism is tearjerking television

The Avengers star teams up with real-life scholars for a look at the eruption of Vesuvius. At points it’s elegiac and moving, at others it’s

Tom talks about Pompeii - and a bit about Tenzing right at the very end.

Also mentions they're thinking of more documentaries of this type.
