What a nice surprise! Jim did in fact attend the Cannes Film Festival today, but for an early photocall for Heartless. I had no knowledge their would be any promotion for the film so this is a complete joy. Maybe he will attend something for Fifty Dead Men Walking afterall. We’ll have to wait and see. At the photocall he posed with French co-star Clémence Poésy. I have added 44 MQ photos so far and I’m on the lookout for more and HQ pics. If you can donate please get in touch, my resources are a little scarce at the moment. For now enjoy these great pictures!
Fifty Dead Men Walking is being marketted at this week’s Cannes Film Festival in France. The Guardian has published an article regarding the film, while there isn’t anything directly Jim related here are some excerpts regarding production status and what not:
“The film company have told me this is only loosely based on my life but it’s my life all the same. I was shot here in England by the IRA for what I did to the Belfast Brigade. My mother’s house was attacked, my brother left for dead after a beating long after I was gone from Belfast and in hiding. They should have represented my story more accurately and fairly.” - Real life Martin McGartland
A spokesman for Future Films Limited, the company that co-financed Fifty Dead Men Walking, stressed that the movie was still in post-production and said McGartland had not seen it, so was not placed to make a final judgement.
Big thanks to Steve for the heads up! I have also added one on set image of Jim filming in beautiful Ireland.
And be sure check out a very old and rare picture of Jim on the set of 2002’s TV movie The Quest. Thanks goes out to Johnny for both pictures!
I got an amazing surprise in the donation bin today!
The nice Cassie of Lee Pace Online sent in 36outtakes of Jim’s recent Improper Bostonian feature! (view scans) I think I will go ahead and call this my very favorite Jim shoot to date! It’s so funny and cute. Check out some previews below:
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!
I have a wonderful surprise for today! Powered by my awesome friend Riikka of Isla Fisher Web we have scans of Esquire UK’s April 2008 issue which features a huge 9 page spread on Jim Sturgess! It’s a brand new shoot and article and it’s fantastic, definitely one of my favorites!
Note: Please do not cut the tags and credit with a link to if you must repost, she spent a lot of time on these scans for us and it’s always polite to give credit.
