Jim is featured in the May 2008 issue of Men’s Vogue (US), it’s a 6 page spread and I have added the scans to the gallery. I’ll admit I don’t personally love this photoshoot, It looks really out of Jim’s comfort zone - being a little too posed and awkward and what not, but obviously I’m thrilled to see Jim in mags so that is always exciting. Regardless it’s Jim, so enjoy the scans!
Jim Sturgess, who is hot after the box office success of Las Vegas card-caper movie 21 and the cult movie Across The Universe will, star in the film Heartless, which Renaissance man Philip Ridley will direct on locations in East London and the Isle of Man, from June 1.
The French-born actress Clemence Poesy will play an Eastern European who meets Sturgess’s character.
It also stars Noel Clarke, who made Kidulthood and the forthcoming Adulthood movie.
Richard Raymond, who is producing the film with Pippa Cross, said it will be a “gleaming and seductive look at the East End”, which will turn the culture of hoodies on its head.
Sturgess will play a young man who makes a deal with the devil to become handsome, but then discovers there’s a price for his good looks: he has to become a killer.

I have updated the gallery with captures of Jim playing George Boleyn in the film The Other Boleyn Girl. Thanks to Laura of Adoring Natalie Portman for these! I have also added ten production stills. Lastly, if you have not seen the film yourself proceed with caution as there are many spoilery caps.
