James McAvoy nominated for Olivier award & on the cover of Nylon Magazine

James has been nominated for a Laurence Olivier theatre award in the best actor category for Three Days of Rain at the Apollo theatre. James is nominated with James Earl Jones, Mark Rylance, Ken Stott, Jude Law, and Samuel West. Winners will be announced in London on March 21.



James is featured in the March 2010 issue of Nylon Guys.

Here's an excerpt from the interview:

GREAT SCOT!

James McAvoy: A very different kind of movie star.

Though he’s shared the screen with Angelina Jolie, Keira Knightley, and Anne Hathaway, James McAvoy is in no rush to be the next big name.

Stephanie Trong found out firsthand while spending a chilly evening in New York City with the Scottish actor. Here, a few of his secrets.

Why you never hear about him in the tabloids:
“I’ve only had somebody try and take pictures of me outside my house once in my entire life. And they stopped after about half an hour.”

How his resume is impeccable:
“Every now and again, [my agents] thought that I should do something, and I’ve been, ‘What the fuck are you thinking?’ But that’s only happened once or twice in my entire career.”

The co-star that left the biggest impression on him:
“I was intimidated by the humongity—this is a good made-up word—the humongity of Keira’s sort of world presence.”

Why it’s only a matter of time until he wins an Oscar:
“I was very sensitive. Cried easy. Enjoyed crying from an early age. Ehm, not in public. On my own. I think I recognized its therapeutic qualities early on. And then as I came into my teenage years it became very handy ‘cause I could wallow about my lack of girlfriend or general cool or mystique.” [Nylon Magazine]

New film for James McAvoy?

Someone over at IMDb points us to a video with James McAvoy talking about shooting an independent film in Seattle called The Detail after he wraps up the play, Three Days of Rain. I won't post the video because it looks more like a personal video of James signing autographs outside the theater, but you can hear him talk about the new movie at 1:49 here.

Someone else also posted that the film might be titled Missing Detail, a movie that will be shot in Oregon and Washington. I haven't been able to find anything else about this movie though, so if someone knows anything feel free to share details.

James McAvoy in Three Days of Rain

I almost never post on Fridays but I was surfing and guess what I found guys?

Atonement star James McAvoy is to appear alongside ex-EastEnder Nigel Harman in a West End revival of Richard Greenberg’s Three Days of Rain.

The production will open at the Apollo Theatre, Shaftesbury Avenue, on February 10, 2009, following previews from January 30.

Directed by Jamie Lloyd, the show will be produced by Caro Newling for Neal Street Productions and Nick Frankfort and Tobias Round for Creative Management and Productions.

Who's excited? James McAvoy in the flesh! There is probably collective fangirl/fanboy cheering in London right now.

I haven't been able to find out much more than that yet but I'm sure there will be way more information out soon. So keep visiting for updates and I'll post new information as often as I can.
