I am a huge fan of Joe Wright's work from Pride and Prejudice to Atonement to my intense love for Hanna. The guy has serious talent for filmmaking and surrounds himself with a spectacular crew and cast and isn't afraid to take a few chances and flex his muscles. The introduction to the Bennets in Pride and Prejudice is marvelous, the beach scene in Atonement is striking and the mixture of score, editing and intensity in Hanna is absorbing.

With Anna Karenina he's taken things even further and has shot the majority of the film in a single location, a dilapidated theatre. I can't wait to see the result.

NTERVIEW: Matthew Macfadyen on what he wanted to bring to the character, why people like the character, if there was pressure to bring the novel to the screen and how it was working with the cast at Anna Karenina Toronto International Film Festival Premiere on 9/7/12 in Toronto, Canada.

Actor Matthew Macfadyen and director Joe Wright attend Variety Studio presented by Moroccanoil at Holt Renfrew on Day 2 at Holt Renfrew, Toronto during the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival on September 9, 2012 in Toronto, Canada.

Spoiler:

The first to emerge is Anna Karenina. Arrived here with Jude [Law] and Keira [Knightley] and Matthew MacFadyen. Film premieres are coldly hierarchical affairs, and this has to be treated with a sense of humour or you could go under. One of the big tells is how high your hotel room is. Matthew and I eagerly opened our envelopes wondering what, out of a possible 15, we’d score on the celebrity ladder. He got a suite on the 6th and I grumblingly trudged off to the 5th.
