Matthew Goode has said that he is expecting big things from Chan-wook Park‘s upcoming movie Stoker.“[Miller] wrote the film under a pseudonym and it was on the Black List, which is the top scripts that haven’t been made yet – that was in 2010,” he said.
“It got picked up by Ridley Scott, Tony Scott and Fox Searchlight, and the fact they got Chan-wook Park to make it is creating quite a lot of buzz. He’s just the most stupendously gifted director. He speaks more English than he lets on, but everything is done via a translator. In the end it was just incredible, a really great experience.”
Discussing his mysterious character Uncle Charlie, Goode added: “He turns up at this funeral – the opening shot is of Nicole and Mia, they’re a mother and daughter, he’s the uncle and it’s his brother who’s died.
“[Charlie] hasn’t been around for 25 years he’s been off travelling, or so we think, and various people start to disappear. Then you realise there’s possibly a pre-disposition in the bloodline of the family to do dark things. It should be great.”

Goode told Digital Spy of his new role as Jameson’s cult film ambassador: “It’s in its fourth year and they came and asked, and I actually hadn’t been to any of the events before but I just loved the sound of it and obviously I’ll be going to them this year.
“It’s just a little bit different and exciting and obviously Jameson has been a champion of cinema… it’s difficult to say ‘this is going to be a cult film’ immediately but it’s really championed independent film, which is obviously quite close to my heart.”

This elegant adaptation of the much-loved Sebastian Faulks novel might not have Sherlock’s bells and whistles but it oozes class and is sure to keep BBC1’s stranglehold on Sunday night viewing for the next two weeks. Eddie Redmayne and Clémence Poésy are the star-crossed lovers in a tale that switches time between the misery of the trenches of World War I and pre-war France, and there’s staunch support from Joseph Mawle and Matthew Goode. Be warned: it’s a three-hankie job.
