....well, now that you mention it...
Waiting for new Killing Eve/Sandra/Jodie content be like…
Carolyn: Maybe it's time you went cold turkey?
Eve: What do you mean?
Carolyn: [LAUGHS] You know precisely what I mean.
Villanelle: I like turkey.
I like turkey too. And I agree with Carolyn. This blog needs to go cold turkey.
I’m not going to stop posting entirely. I’m just not going to continue trying to post new content all the time when there is no new content to be posted.
Consider this: were it not for the pandemic, the fourth season of Killing Eve would have finished shooting by now. We’d know who the new cast members were and who would be returning from Season 3.
But we don’t.
We would have pics from the set, both official and unofficial. We might even have some vague ideas on what is on and off the table for the fourth season of Killing Eve and even if it was the last one.
But we don’t because the fourth season hasn’t even started shooting and probably won’t until June when the show is supposed to start shooting. Put that down in pencil, not in ink because we don’t know for certain KE will start shooting in five months. No matter what Sandra or Jodie or Fiona or even Sally say, it’s only a guess.
There’s a lot of Tumblrs that are still doing their best to update consistently and regularly even without new Killing Eve content. Jodie’s doing fashion shoots and she’s got two films (Free Guy, The Last Duel) in the can, a TV one-shot, and she’s doing an audiobook version of Alice in Wonderland. Sandra has her animated voiceover work as well as The Chair at Netflix and her Sam Raimi produced horror flick, Umma that may drop a trailer one of these days. Fiona Shaw is keeping busy and so is Kim Bodina.
Just not on Killing Eve.
Otherwise, while I love The Kiss, The Dance and The Bridge scene how many more times can it be re-posted before it becomes a bit redundant. I do not want this blog to become increasingly redundant. I’d rather back off and post less frequently and watch the hits go down further than they already have than to keep on grinding away until this becomes not a labor of love, but only a labor.
The brilliant Killing Eve Incorrect Quotes has disappeared. It was here and now its gone and nobody know why or if it will come back. My favorite podcast, Well, Well Villanelle, despite proclamations by the hosts that they have more episodes in the chute, haven’t posted a new one since last June.
The writing is one the wall. There will be no new KE content until at least the summer of 2021 and no new shows until 2022. That’s too long a wait to keep pumpin’ out daily updates for a blog. At least it’s too long for me.
I like turkey too. Cold turkey not so much, but I can choke it down.
See you around on Tumblr. Only less frequently.
Jodie pretty in pink and Sandra standing on a box.
Then...
...and now.
If Eve must wear those damn turtlenecks, can we please throw those hideous parkas away at the very least?
The stars and creatives break down this show-stopping encounter.
Remember that scene? Oh come on. You remember where you were when THAT SCENE in the now iconic fifth episode of Killing Eve’s first season happened . You knew right then and there you were dealing with a much different spin on the traditional hunter vs the hunted riff. The first scene Comer and Oh tackled together during a chemistry read in Los Angeles is the shepherd’s pie scene. Jodie was a little stressed about how much it she was going to have to actually eat during the 11-hour shoot. Waller-Bridge wrote the emotionally complex and uncommonly long two-hander out of order and in a rush, months before it was shot, so that actress Jodie Comer could have some material to work with during her audition. Though some slight material was later added to the scene, her initial, nine-page raw take on the meeting of Villanelle and Eve is almost identical to the finished product. “Phoebe just threw it out there,” Oh said. “She just came up with it.” With Oh already cast as Eve, Comer only had two days to memorize nine pages of dialogue that would determine if she was the right actress to play Oh’s foil, Villanelle.In order to make the younger actress feel more at ease, Oh brought in props, including cups, water, cutlery, and—because she couldn’t find a meat pie on short notice in Los Angeles—a blueberry pie for Comer to chow down on.
Villanelle’s relationship with food is vitally important to her character generally, and to this scene specifically. Oh, Waller-Bridge, and Comer all pointed out how the assassin is devouring •everything* in the scene, including, suggestively, the pie. While some performers, mindful of long hours and repeated takes, might nibble on food while shooting a scene, Comer said that in both the audition and the final take, she really went for it: “I had to be rolled out of the audition room.”
The entire scene is meant to underline a bit more overtly the sexual attraction and discovery that Waller-Bridge built in from the very beginning. “I love that it hits people at different moments,” she said, of the idea that some viewers might not have grasped the queer aspect of the show until Villanelle leaned into Eve’s neck. “I knew that the first moment they see each other. I labeled that moment as ‘love at first sight.‘ But I didn’t want it to be constrained to romance, or to lust, or anything like that. There’s something waking in Eve every day that she spends imagining what this woman is doing.” Waller-Bridge’s desire to make the connection between Eve and Villanelle read as both sexual and something else—and never too obvious or on the nose—resulted in a slightly tamer version of that stripping-down scene making it into the final edit.
