Here's the latest and greatest James news.... More fantastic reviews of John Carter! They just keep on comin'! Read a bit more about James' character in the upcoming episodes (17 and 18) of Revenge: "How will Victoria's new love interest enter the picture? Kelley: This guy is somebody that's hooked into her deep past from before Conrad and David Clarke, somebody with intimate knowledge of the young Victoria and who she was before she started making all of these very dark choices. He's part of one of her very first dark choices. There's a lot of passion, a lot of danger and a lot of honesty that is going to surface with this guy. How will his return affect Victoria going forward and her feelings about the family and about Emily? Kelley: The relationship pops up as more of a secret for Victoria to keep. It's something that will — when it comes to light — become a problem. She will meet her former lover again in Episode 17 and then we will jump forward several months into the winter in Episode 18 and they will have continued on this affair and have become quite close."

He dried terribly, a third of the way through a two-page monologue. Instead of panicking, he told me, he decided to "go for a wander" – that is, do a circuit of the stage. But then he started to think: what happens if I get back to the front of the stage and I still don't know the line? Sure enough, that's what happened, so he did another circuit. Luckily, this time some words tumbled out and the monologue came back to him." - Nigel Farndale, Telegraph.co.uk • October 12. 2011: James takes part in the Small Steps Project. Thanks Red!

Feb 6, 2008: Hungry for any news, so here's a tidbit about The Summit. •
Jan 23, 2008: Heath Ledger Dies at 28. So tragic. :( •
Jan 13, 2008: TV review: Roman gods must be laughing. "Your son will eat shit and die before he is recognised [as legitimate]," Antony says to Cleopatra of her son, the offspring of the recently offed Julius Caesar. This passes for flirting at the ramparts of what other writers and historians have always encouraged us to believe was one of the great passionate love stories of history. If Antony was anything like this – played with handsome bastardly-ness by James Purefoy – we're talking major love rat. He's a real charmer.\ "I've had a pig of a day," he remarks to Atia in the spa bath that night. "Running this city isn't as amusing as I thought."

A little about SK at obsessedwithfilm.com I think people need to understand that Van Helsing, being a rip off of Solomon Kane, had a certain look to his costume, and there is really no way around that when staying true to THE ORIGINAL character. It will take this film coming out to prove it is NOT a revamp of VH. I have faith that this will be fabulous and satisfying in a way VH didn't even come close to. And not only that, but be an entirely DIFFERENT experience from VH. But unless you're familiar with the original SK stories, there is no way you can realize that there are certain elements that will be familiar. It's just too bad VH keeps coming up with this film. I highly recommend reading the stories to get a good idea of where this film will be coming from and try to put VH out of your minds. ~Nada • Lovely photo of James on the set of Rome with two adorable little actresses.
Our pal Claudia of PollyWalkerOnline.com sent us this gorgeous photo of James on the set of Rome with two darling young actresses from the show.

Sheila for sending this to us!! This is FABULOUS NEWS! :D • Sept. 15, 2007 - A Blog Review of Son of the Dragon Nice excerpt here: "James Purefoy is the guest star of this story and he is given a starring role. ...Purefoy’s presence is what stands out in this story. The way that he portrays Count Dracula is absolutely fantastic, his nice side and nasty rather gruesome moods are what strikes you most about the role. The way that he is willing to punish or torture someone without a moment of hesitation was quite similar to most bad guys in Doctor Who but yet is somewhat better than all of them. His role in the TV show Rome was Mark Anthony who was a man who did what he wanted to do and was able to snap for no reason but at the same time he manages to make the character of Dracula likeable. I had high expectations of James Purefoy from the moment that I found out that he was going to be in Son of the Dragon and I have to say that I wasn’t disappointed."

Aug. 22, 2007 - US DVD Release of A Dance to the Music of Time "James Purefoy (he played Reese Witherspoon's army officer husband in the movie Vanity Fair and the Prince Of Wales in A Knights Tale) has the unenviable task of playing the ultimate straight man, Nicholas Jenkins, through whose eyes we see the whole story. He does a fantastic job of actually finding ways of expressing character in what is essentially a plot device around which all the other characters revolve. A lesser actor could never have accomplished what he did given what little he had to work with (my one complaint with the production is that they replace him for the last reel with an older actor who is nowhere near as accomplished – I wish they would have simply aged Purefoy as they did with other actors)."

for Emmys (ah, it's but a dream) Of course we totally agree! We are extremely miffed and disappointed that James (or any of the other actors on Rome) was not recognized. Appalling, but this often happens with the greatest of talents both in acting and music getting snubbed here in the US. • July 19, 2007 - James Purefoy leads male admirers at Imogen's Visit http://editorial.gettyimages.com/Editorial/Editorial.aspx and type in his name for lots more LOVELY images from this event! Thanks Holly!! :D • July 14, 2007 - Of course we hope James gets nominated for his portrayal of Mark Antony! Here is an article from StarTribune.com that mentions James as a favorite. ...James
Purefoy, "Rome" (HBO): The year's best series provided a glorious
platform for this English gladiator who portrayed Marc Antony as, at
first, the meanest warrior this side of "Deadwood" and, eventually,
as a drug-addled reject of Andy Warhol's Factory. Friends, Romans, countrymen,
lend him your prayers. • July 13, 2007 - First bit about Frankenstein out this fall in the
UK! • July 3, 2007 - Emmy Nods Leaked Online Aha, it looks like Rome is on the list for best drama in the list.

James is in negotiations to star in this romantic comedy to be filmed in Canada. Thanks soooo much Holly for emailing us about this. It sounds like it's going to be a lovely role for James! Visit TheHollywoodReporter for a full write up. Here's an excerpt: "He's mischievous and dirty on the phone, so he's a joy to write for," Vardalos said about Purefoy. "The part was written for an American guy in mind, but I'm now revamping the script to make it about a British guy who doesn't understand the ways of American women." Oh, oh, oh dear... mischievous and dirty... THUD! God we just LOVE this man! ;) • James listed on IMDB as part of the cast of Frankenstein!: This is a UK television production that is currently in pre-production. Supposedly there is a brief writeup in The Guardian. We have reposted the article here and wish to thank Holly for posting this on JamesPurefoy2 Yahoo group! Thursday
September 28, 2006 • May 6 , 2007: Nice reviews of Beau Brummell - Don't Miss it on BBCA!!!: Short takes - (scroll down to see the brief review) • May 5 , 2007: THE SATURDAY LIST! Free Press critics' picks for this weekend: Say hello to the original Suit Boy. The name's Beau Brummell, the game's dandified fashion. And as the witty, bittersweet tale unfolds in "Beau Brummell: This Charming Man" at 8 p.m. Sunday on BBC America, we soon discover that for party hearty Beau Brummell (James Purefoy, "Rome"), impeccable taste is not always accompanied by impeccable judgment. The well-connected style icon of late 18th- and early 19th-Century London essentially invented the modern suit, persuading his pal the Prince of Wales (Hugh Bonneville) to ditch the Regency Fop look of powdered wigs, painted faces and brightly colored jackets for a more finely tailored, streamlined look. Alas, the impertinent Brummell also pursued the debauched high life with his buddy Lord Byron (Matthew Rhys, "Brothers & Sisters"), which besmirched his reputation with unfashionable hedonist excesses. Oh, tacky, tacky. - Mike Duffy, Free Press TV critic Excerpt: • Thanks Claudia for pointing us to these 3 lovely photos of James at www.tobymerritt.co.uk!! Click #1, #18 and #19. :) • April 15, 2007 - GentryStyle.com posted an article about Beau Brummell style and featured our little Wonderful Beau video! Yayyy!

Don't be disheartened, we feel James can do much better than what Manchild had to offer, though we would have LOVED to see him every week on TV again, SIGH. Can't wait to hear what else is coming up!! Actor James Purefoy, 42, cuts a dash on screen but he’s really a home-lover with a passion for pasta. Click Here for full interview. What a loooverly pic! :D • The BBC Somerset Short Story Competition has come to a close. They are currently organizing the publication of the book, as well as the audio side of the competition.

January 9, 2007: PUREFOY LOVES HIS CRAGGY 'FIELD' FACE The
New Yorker - Power Play Rome Returns to HBO Ok, yes, we agree with James reasons for his refusal, but still we are selfish and will miss seeing Mark strutting around toga-less. :P And there is also this nice quite from James about the whole V for Vendetta situation. We feel for ya, James:"That was a bit of a debacle. I don't really want to talk about it. We all promised that it was best left that we had creative differences. Sadly, some people since have broken that promise, but I'm a gentleman." British actor James Purefoy on leaving the comic book adaptation V For Vendetta. 08/01/2007 20:09 And The Guardian UK has an interview with James about Rome! Excerpt from When in Rome: "The
more I read about [Mark Antony], the more I looked into him in history,
he's just unbelievably tragic - what happened to him in the end - and
certainly the way we've played it, which is, I think, going to be very
different from how anybody else has ever... Those scenes, especially
him and Cleopatra at the end, there's clearly something very tragic
about it. It's really interesting just getting your head around a man
of that size and what he's reduced to, and how he can deal with her
betrayal of him... And, you know, a great Roman general who sincerely
believed he was a sun god. Get your head round that one," says
Purefoy... •
