An interview with TV and film heartthrob Idris Elba was thrown into chaos on The One Show, with host Alex Jones joking about the sound problems. Alex was interviewing Luther star Idris, 50, via a video link-up about his new film Luther: The Fallen Sun.

“Luther: The Fallen Sun” comes out as the chatter about Idris Elba as James Bond has finally dissipated. A film that makes enough passes to the 007 franchise that it could easily drum up more pointless columns about the endless debate.

After a 2022 which saw the biggest movie of his career at the box office, and the top grossing movie of the year with Top Gun: Maverick ($718.7M, $1.49 billion), Tom Cruise accepted the David O. Selznick honor tonight at the PGA awards.

series of tweets Friday evening, Watson stood his ground, defending his work, vowing to fight the charges “with everything I have” and adding, “I’m not saying I haven’t made mistakes – I have.

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic “Luther: The Fallen Sun” starts by punishing its protagonist — scruffy, cross-the-line Detective Chief Inspector John Luther (Idris Elba) — for all his past sins after the franchise’s latest villain, played by Andy Serkis, releases details of Luther’s rule-bending tactics to the media. On the phone with some kind of Estonian henchman, Serkis’ Robey implies that it will be tricky to dig up the dirt on Luther because “he doesn’t have much of an online presence,” but the next thing we know, Luther’s being tossed into a high-security prison.

Or maybe the last episode was enough — although we won’t retroactively give it away here, for those who haven’t dedicated the past dozen years to following Luther’s exploits. Suffice to say, this was the role that got people speculating that Elba might make a suitable replacement when Daniel Craig decided to retire his license to kill. Like Craig’s 21st-century 007, Luther was a darker, more tortured kind of action hero, torn between a constipated psychology and his locomotive drive to capture and punish wrongdoers.
