Into the Storm, WonderCon 2014

     All I will say is that, unless my ears are mistaken and I don't think they are, the director Steven Quale can not pronounce "Armitage" correctly when introducing Richard. Bravo *claps slowly*. Have a raspberry Mr. Quale. I wonder if he's missing the letter "Y" in HIS last name?




                                

Richard Armitage to Star in The Crucible

  It has been confirmed and announced that our Richard Armitage will be portraying John Proctor in the Arthur Miller play The Crucible, June 24 to September 13, 2014, with press night July 9, at London's Old Vic Theatre. The play is to be directed by South African director Yael Faber.

  This will be London's first major revival of The Crucible since the 2010 Regent's Park production, and follow the Young Vic's production of another Arthur Miller play, A View From the Bridge , which is still playing.

  The Crucible will also star Anna Madely, Samantha Colley, Sarah Niles, Rebbecca Saire and Zara White.

Armitage Ambush

  For what seemed like forever, there had been nothing new in the way of images and news of Richard Armitage and then...WHAM!!The Armitage Ambush. This is when we get inundated with new images and new of and from Richard. First it starts with the teaser of a teaser trailer of Into the Storm .

  No. Actually I think the Armitage Ambush may have started back in January with Pinter/Proust.

  THEN  on March 27th came Into the Storm photo and the teaser trailer, as seen first.

  Then on March 28th there was CinemaCon in Las Vegas, in which Richard went to and promoted Into the Storm. Love the hair and the clothes. Thank goodness the shoes don't cut his legs off at the ankle like a certain beige pair. Also still think that he looks like Chris Noth in some of these pictures.

 

  The Armitage Ambush continued on March 30th when the Jameson Empire Awards, that I unfortunately missed but have found some great videos on my own and with help of internet friends, took place.

 

 

And Richard is also very proud of his sword. Yes he said that about Ocrist, but he was being cheeky about it.Link to the interview where Richard says this. Naughty boy.

  The Ambush continued on with an interview on  ITV's This Morning program on March 31st. Maybe he wasn't recuperated enough from the day before and that would explain why he shortened Thorin by a foot.

 

 

   

Just when I thought the coast was clear...BOOM! Ambushed again by Richard in the BBC Midlands Today interview with Geeta Pendse, yesterday April 2nd. BBC East Midlands Today
