The Cannes Film Festival as you all probably know is taking place right now and lots of deals are being made for new projects, one of them apparently involving Jonathan. Should it turn out to be in fact true, he will be joining forces again with Christine Vachon who directed Velvet Goldmine. It will also star Liv Tyler and Daniel Huttlestone who played the role of Gavroche in Les Miserables. The character who he is rumoured to be playing is a father juggling 2 jobs to keep the family afloat in 70′s England. More information below.

Cargo Entertainment (The Angriest Man in Brooklyn) has added London Town to its Cannes slate. The film will be produced by Christine Vachon and Sofia Sondervan. The cast for the package being presented in Cannes, includes Jonathan Rhys-Meyers, Liv Tyler and Daniel Huttlestone. Huttlestone played the role of Gavroche in Les Miserables.

The film is set in England in 1978 as unemployment hits a high. 14-year-old Shay Baker (Huttlestone) has a hard time, as his family tries to stay afloat and his father (Rhys Myers) works two jobs. One day, Shay’s estranged mother sends him a cassette of music from London and he is captivated by the band The Clash. The music and a young punk woman helps him keep going. The coming-of-age/adventure will be directed by Derrick Borte. Borte’s previous credits include The Joneses. Sondervan’s credits include Cadillac Records and Feel The Noise. Vachon’s past films include Velvet Goldmine and Kill Your Darlings. Based in New York, Cargo Entertainment was founded in 2011 by Marina Grasic, Jan Korbelin and Mark Lindsay. It is a worldwide sales, financing, production and distribution company.

Thanks to Fram I now have the interview uploaded to our YouTube account. If you’re not already subscribed to us you can do so by clicking here.
The quality is so much better than other ones I came across so I have also added the screen caps from it to the gallery. If you’ve not already seen this interview Jonny talks about how he has become more of a cook, what has changed since the last time he was in Budapest and how appreciative he is of our support

As you know I normally only tag pictures but for the Kino Online I have watermarked as these ones had to be paid for in order for me to be able to get them and I have noticed recently especially people on tumblr who remove our tag and don’t credit so sorry to those who keep the tag on. If you would like the pictures unwatermarked versions (but tagged) feel free to email me jrhysmeyerssource[@]gmail.com

Altogether I have added over 2,000 captures from various interviews Jonny has done over the last 8 years and some are even in HQ. I’m aware a couple are still missing but I will be uploading them tomorrow along with a few other surprises including a long lost interview, a rare photoshoot and an online interview Jonny did with Natalia in Russia last year, but until then I hope you enjoy these!

Well we are being rather spoilt this week! Jonathan gave another interview to the Irish Sun in which he talks about Dracula, which version he is basing his interpretation on, how he plans on playing him and why he’s not allowed to play music with his brothers

There’s something about me physically which makes me look just a little bit dangerous…

Everyone working on the set of the upcoming NBC/Sky series of the same name, which airs later this year, says the Cork native was born to play the role.

Everyone talks of how calm and focused he is on Dracula and how much he brings to the part.

I have added the article to our archive and you can read it here

At the photocall at the Four Seasons Hotel in Budapest a few weeks ago Jonathan gave an interview to the Irish Daily Mail in which he talked about playing Dracula, what it’s like to be on set playing the most famous Vampire in history and why he thinks he is perfectly suited for the role

Yet more going back to the past in the interview *rolls eyes*. It’s a shame journalists can’t move on but I know Jonny has and so have we :]

‘Dracula is the ultimate monster,’ the actor says, speaking in the Four Seasons Hotel in Budapest, where the series is filming until July.

‘Can I be scary? I’m not quite sure I’m the person to answer that,’ he laughs. ‘I think I could be. I try to be as charming as possible, but everybody’s got their off days.’

I have added it to our press archive so you can read the rest here

Edit; The interview has been rescheduled for April 26th

Sorry for the lack of updates lately but as you are aware Jonny is busy filming Dracula right now so there really isn’t an awful lot to post. I have went through every category I could to see if any albums could be updated with HQ pictures to replace MQ or watermarked versions. The following have now been updated with more to come once I am able to get hold of the higher quality versions. Enjoy!
