Throwback Hiddles ~ 26th April 2018

Jenelle Riley on Twitter: We answered the age-old question: can Tom Hiddleston make reading anything, even the dictionary, sound amazing?

‘...Every room, in everyone’s house or flat has a camera, recording what’s going on. The transformation of the home, into a TV studio. A creation of a new kind of reality. A reality that’s electronic.

And perhaps only in the short term, in exactly the same way as, when you first get a camera, you spend your time photographing children playing in a paddling pool. But after awhile, you get more ambitious, and you start taking an interest in the world at large. And I think the same thing will happen – beginning with people endlessly photographing themselves, shaving, having dinner together, having domestic rows – of course the bedroom applications are obvious. But I think they’ll go beyond that to the point where each of us will be at the centre of a sort of non-stop serial, with all kinds of possibilities let in.’

Tom Hiddleston reads an extract from a startlingly prescient interview with J.G. Ballard in Extreme Metaphors at the BFI London Film Festival High-Rise Q&A, 11th October 2015
