October 10 : Mr Dance is 75 years old
was at The Tender Bar premiere during the 65th BFI London Film Festival at The Royal Festival Hall
Nikolaj Coster-Waldau
Parmi les projets terminés qui arrivent bientôt, il y a Against The Ice, premier film original Netflix d'Islande que vous avez co-écrit et dans lequel vous jouez. Qu'est-ce que vous pouvez nous en dire ?
C'est vraiment un projet passion pour moi. C'est basé sur une histoire vraie. On a eu un tournage fantastique en Islande et au Groenland même si très prenant et ambitieux. Le film parle d'explorateurs au début du XXème siècle. Trois hommes font face aux obstacles les plus extrêmes. Nous voulions tourner dans des décors réels et nous sommes très chanceux et très reconnaissants envers Netflix d'avoir voulu du film mais aussi envers le fantastique producteur Baltasar Kormákur et le génial réalisateur Peter Flinth.
Mes partenaires aussi sont géniaux, comme Joe Cole, mais aussi Charles Dance [Tywin Lannister dans Game of Thrones, ndlr] que j'ai réussi à embarquer dans cette aventure pour jouer un personnage important. Je suis très fier de ce film. Je vois la version finale vendredi d'ailleurs. J'ai hâte que le film sorte.

last week, having told the planet about Alastair Campbell’s magnificent abs (like perfect pink cobblestones), I was very excited about bumping into him at the Lido. So I scooted down there in my friend’s car and, well — there was some bumping, but not the kind I wanted.
After arriving in the car park and mentally preparing myself for the plunge, I opened the door and — all at once — there was a sickening crunch of metal on metal, as car met car. Someone had come into the side of us.
I leapt out of the car, waiting for a colossal bruiser to start throwing punches (and all I’ve got is a black belt in origami). But I felt a very real chill shimmy down my spine as the other driver emerged. For who should get out in dark glasses but Lord Tywin Lannister — dread tyrant of telly’s Game of Thrones — who happens to be played by Lido-loving Charles Dance, the wonderful actor who is absurdly good looking (not just for his age) and oozes phwoar with a soupçon of terror (like all the sexiest men).
Tywin and I inspected the damage, made all the right English noises and headed for the pool. Over the question of who was the bumper and who the bumpee, I will allow a discreet lawyerly curtain to fall. But I’ll be feeling slightly uneasy for a while. As any true Thrones fan knows: “Lannisters always pay their debts.”
Charles Dance joins the Duchess of Cornwall and Dame Judi Dench at Reading Room reception
The great and the good of the literary world – Tom Stoppard to William Boyd via Hilary Mantel – came together at Clarence House by personal invitation of the Duchess of Cornwall
27 October 2021
Entertaining the thought of a Royal Reading Room one might think of a venue not dissimilar to a room in the British or London Library. The reality, however, was that the Duchess of Cornwall's Reading Room concept was launched at the heights of lockdown over Instagram. When, week-by-week she would introduce new books as part of her ‘Lockdown Reading List’ eventually building up to a ‘Summer Reading List’. Authors including Victoria Hislop, Amor Towles and Michael Morpurgo were featured and contributed readings.
.......
Dance described the Duchess’s project as ‘marvellous’ saying that: ‘Lockdown I think encouraged or allowed people to read much more than in normal circumstances.’

Starz(pay tv channel) has filled out the cast for its upcoming 16th century royal drama “The Serpent Queen,” adding 10 alongside star Samantha Morton.Amrita Acharia, Enzo Cilenti, Barry Atsma, Nicholas Burns and Danny Kirrane have joined as series regulars, with Charles Dance, Ludivine Sagnier, Liv Hill, Kiruna Stamell and Colm Meaney cast in recurring roles.
The eight-episode series, which is based on the book “Catherine de Medici: Renaissance Queen of France” by Leonie Frieda, will be written by Justin Haythe (“Revolutionary Road,” “Red Sparrow,” “The Lone Ranger”).
......
Charles Dance as “Pope Clement“
Catherine’s uncle was appointed to the papal throne not because of any religious faith but because the Medicis know in order to rule well they have to make a member of their own family the head of the Catholic Church. Clement wields his influence with the houses of the European monarchies primarily to indulge his vices. He is sexually promiscuous and in love with luxury. As Catherine’s guardian he arranges her match to the French prince and thinks little of the false promises he makes to bring it to fruition. It is left to Catherine to face the consequences of his actions…
Peter Mullan and Charles Dance have joined the cast of “The Hanging Sun,” based on Jo Nesbø’s bestselling novel “Midnight Sun.”
“The Hanging Sun” is a noir thriller set in a part of Norway where religion dominates, the sun never sets, and local residents seem to be from a different era.
The film follows John — a man on the run because he has betrayed his powerful crime-lord father, Dad. To escape from his family, John heads north and takes refuge deep in the forest near an isolated village. The only thing standing between John and his destiny are Lea, a woman facing hardship with a great deal of strength, and her son Caleb, a curious, pure-hearted boy.
Mullan plays Dad, while Dance is playing Jacob, Lea’s father.

Crown’ star Charles Dance says his character would be ‘in despair’ over Megxit
“I think he would be in despair about it,” Dance told Page Six. “Because you know, Mountbatten was a traditionalist, he was very proud of the monarchy, very proud of his royal line. And he was of that generation that accepted that there was a way to behave. ‘This is the way to behave.’ He was almost the last of his kind, really.”
........
Dance, 74, is nominated for an Emmy this year and says “it’s nice to be looked over, better than being overlooked.”
“I’ve been doing this job for about 45 years now,” he continued. “And you know, it’s just nice to be recognized for doing a job well, which I hope is the case. But other than that, I don’t think any of us should let any of these awards go to our heads. Does that make any sense?”
..................................
“What [screenwriter] Peter Morgan has done is to write it in his own inimitable way,” he explained. “He’s documenting the life of a woman in an institution that is rapidly changing in an empire; that from the time she took the throne was in decline. And a lot of that is very well-documented.”
“Peter, with the research that he has and from that the opinions he feels able to have, can write what are essentially fictional scenes within the kind of documentary nature of the series. But you know, nobody set out to make a documentary.”
....................................
“You tend to get much better lines,” he said. “Unless the good guy is funny as well. You can be good and funny and that’s great — but most of the time, really good well-written villains tend to make you laugh through their audacity.
...............................
“They are able to say things and do things that a lot of people, perhaps secretly in their darker moments, wish they could say and do.”
