‘Ophelia’ starring Daisy Ridley leaves a lot to be desired

The premise of Claire McCarthy’s new movie, Ophelia, is simple. What if William Shakespeare’s Hamlet was told not through the mopey prince, but his love interest, Ophelia? Perhaps then, she could have a personality instead of a watery tragic end.
That idea might have been interesting if fully realized, which this Ophelia, which premiered this week at the Sundance Film Festival, is not. The movie makes a few intriguing choices but stumbles in terms of craft and writing – neither of which you can really sacrifice when adapting the Bard.
Yet not everything in the state of Denmark was rotten. After a clichéd voiceover, Ophelia’s (Daisy Ridley) story follows her from a humble childhood to living among royalty as a lady-in-waiting to Hamlet’s troubled queen mum, Gertrude (Naomi Watts). These early scenes set up a more promising movie: the setting looks to have a painterly quality, the flowing gowns are a vivid contrast to plain castle rock of their home and the supporting cast is wonderfully diverse. It’s a shame that our Ophelia gets into trouble because of the rich white family in power. Read more…

Princes Harry and William held a house party for the ‘Star Wars’ cast and it sounded epic

Ain’t no party like a Star Wars party — especially when the party in question happens to be hosted by royalty.
In the clip above, the cast of The Last Jedi described to Graham Norton how Princes William and Harry hosted an after-party for the cast at none other than Kensington Palace.
Apparently John Boyega and Gwendoline Christie tried to pose for some photos in a room with a big red throne, but were quickly dragged away.
The best part of the whole story? Mark Hamill’s impression of William and Harry, which can only be described as on-point. Read more…

Rey would hate Daisy Ridley’s dream lightsaber

Daisy Ridley, perhaps better known right now for her lead role as Rey in the Star Wars franchise, has a surprisingly un-Rey choice of lightsabers.
Chatting with Elle UK while building a Lego Millennium Falcon, The Last Jedi actor said if she could customise her own lightsaber, it would be pink and glittery. Really?
Ridley also talks a little about her struggles with becoming a “chea-gan” — that is, a “cheating vegan,” in her words. And that despite her starring turn in the huge Hollywood franchise, her dad remains a staunch Trekkie.
Oh, but she finishes her Lego model in admirable time. Rey would be proud. Read more…
