BBC Films falls in love with Matthias Schoenaerts, Danny Boyle reminisces with Philip French, and Olivia Colman seeks direction in the wrong quarter
Bulging Belgian
A year ago he was a little-known Belgian actor. Then, on the first Thursday of Cannes 2012, came Rust and Bone and Matthias Schoenaerts – playing a bare-knuckle boxer opposite Marion Cotillard – was suddenly the hottest discovery on the Croisette.
The British film industry in particular seems to have fallen for Schoenaert , and he'll be seen in three forthcoming BBC Films productions. First there's A Little Chaos (directed by Alan Rickman), in which he plays the head gardener at Versailles opposite Kate Winslet's headstrong landscaper. Then he'll go straight to the set of Saul Dibb's production of the second world war drama Suite française, some of which is being shot in his native Belgium. In that, he'll play a German officer opposite Michelle Williams and Kristin Scott Thomas.

'What was my most embarrassing moment? When I wet myself on stage'
Olivia Colman, 39, was born in Norfolk. She studied at Bristol Old Vic Theatre School and then played Sophie in the Channel 4 sitcom Peep Show. She appeared in Shane Meadows's film Le Donk & Scor-zay-zee and was Carol Thatcher in The Iron Lady. In 2011 she starred in Paddy Considine's directorial debut, Tyrannosaur, and won a special jury prize at the Sundance film festival. Her latest film is Hyde Park On Hudson and her recent television roles include Rev, Twenty Twelve and Broadchurch. She stars with Considine in the ITV period crime drama The Suspicions Of Mr Whicher II, which begins tomorrow.
When were you happiest?
When my husband and I first said we loved each other, in our student flat in Cambridge.
What is your earliest memory?
I think I remember being held by my mum as a baby.

Paddy Considine is perhaps best known for his film work - in 2011, following a string of explosive acting performances in the likes of Dead Man's Shoes and In America, he released his first full-length directorial effort Tyrannosaur to widespread acclaim.
But in that same year, Considine also took a rare sojourn into television for ITV's period crime thriller The Suspicions of Mr Whicher and this Sunday night, will reprise the role in a follow-up film from writer Neil McKay.
In an interview with Digital Spy, the 39-year-old actor, writer, filmmaker and musician reveals why he decided to reprise the role of Whicher, and how his attitudes towards acting have changed over the years.
You've reunited with your Tyrannosaur lead Olivia Colman here - did you play a part in her casting?
"I'm gonna tell the truth - a little bit, yeah! It wasn't my idea at all, I wasn't in that way of thinking.

Paddy Considine has discussed reuniting with Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg on The World's End, the final movie in the 'Three Flavours Cornetto' trilogy.
Considine, who played DS Andy Wainwright in Hot Fuzz, told Digital Spy that the shoot for World's End was the most difficult he's ever experienced.
"It was hard - we were up against it - weather-wise, schedule-wise... it was tough," he said. "But we kept ourselves amused and when one [of us] was dipping, somebody else rallied round and pulled them out. We were a little gang of five against the world - well, six, including Edgar.
"It was a tough shoot, but what I've seen of it looks fantastic. Edgar's such a great talent - I love him to bits. I'm not hyping it - it does look incredible."
Considine promised that the sci-fi film will give Pegg the opportunity to unleash his "inner hooligan".

Olivia Colman has spoken to Digital Spy about the huge success of Broadchurch.
The ITV crime drama will return for a second series, though Colman remained tight-lipped about her potential involvement.
"I know lots about it - but I can't tell you!" the actress told DS at the Arqiva British Academy Television Awards Nominees Party
Colman did reveal that she felt "awful" when Joe Miller - husband of her character Ellie - was revealed as the Broadchurch killer.
"Most people, I think, kind of had an inkling as they were watching, but it didn't really matter that you'd made that leap," she said.
In our video above, the actress - who is nominated for two BAFTAs this year - also talks working with her "hero" Paddy Considine on ITV's forthcoming second series of The Suspicions of Mr Whicher.

The BBC’s Ripper Street marks a growing trend in TV period crime drama, which has turned from nice to nasty…
Contains mild spoilers for episodes one and two of Ripper Street
Time was when period detective drama meant spending fifty minutes or so in the company of a shrewd Oap solving aristocratic murders in picturesque country houses by drinking Earl Grey from china cups and gently probing the scullery maid. It was sanitised, sexless, and more doilies than Deadwood.
Of late however, period crime TV has evolved into something nastier. Twinsets, dastardly heirs and moustachioed Belgians are out, muckiness, dismemberment and gratuitous nudity are in. Looking ahead to new commissions from ITV and the BBC, the trend set to give Scandi-noir a run for its cosily attired money is for knobbing-and-knifing period crime drama. Forget Call The Midwife, we're talking Kill The Midwife, and leave...

Flicking through the Radio Times, post-watershed telly on BBC One is a Quality Street tin full of TV – ranging from the highly sought after purple-wrapped fantastic period drama Restless starring Charlotte Rampling, Hayley Atwell and Rufus Sewell, followed by a less salubrious sickly strawberry cream Take That highlights tour show, to the bog-standard toffee penny with Mrs Brown’s Boys.

More Dickens and even more Shakespeare, but also new novels from Toni Morrison, Hilary Mantel, Zadie Smith, plus exciting new voices – 2012's literary highlights
January
10 Charles Dickens's The Mystery of Edwin Drood, starring Matthew Rhys and Tamzin Merchant, begins – and, unlike the book, ends – on BBC2.
13 Michael Morpurgo's much-loved children's novel War Horse, a long-running favourite at the National and on Broadway, gets the Hollywood treatment. A tearjerking saga about a young soldier and his horse – it was only a matter of time before it was Spielberged.
16 Ts Eliot prize. Despite withdrawals from the shortlist over objections to a hedge fund's sponsorship of the prize, the Eliot remains the UK's premier poetry award, and its eve-of-event reading is always a treat. This year's shortlist includes Daljit Nagra, Carol Ann Duffy and John Burnside.

Lucinda Wright talks exclusively to Clothes on Film about her contribution to ITV’s adaptation of The Suspicions of Mr Whicher starring Paddy Considine. The date: 1860. Place: South West England. Costumes: an elegant recreation of the revolutionary Victorian age.
Although probably known for costume designing the 2005 reboot of Doctor Who, Wright has worked in television since the late 1990s. She has also covered period costume before, principally with Henry VIII (2003) and Georgian era Fanny Hill (2007). The Suspicions of Mr Whicher is based on Kate Summerscale’s prize winning book about real life Scotland Yard detective Jack Whicher’s (Considine) investigation of an infant murder and his controversial conclusion that lead to national outcry. It is sober yet gripping drama.
