Interviews

It's always amazing what turns up in searches after a long period of time, but here is a snippet from the Comic Con Portugal press conference from 2014, which I don't think we have seen or heard before. Tom reveals that many of the fun moments behind the scenes involve Gregg Chillin misbehaving in some way. Apparently there are scenes in season 3 which Gregg 'ruined' but they had to use...did any fans spot such a scene?

The second part of an interview with Tom for Xfinity, during a press day last year, has been shared online. Part 1 can be watched here, if you are in the US. Both interviews are geoblocked, sadly. In part 2, Tom discusses the implications for Leo's future following Lucrezia's final comments, in the Da Vinci's Demons season 3 final episode. 

Starz shared this behind the scenes photo of the Da Vinci's demons finale on Instagram. With the final episode of Da Vinci's Demons broadcasting around the world last week, a few more reviews and recommendations for the show have appeared online: TV Equals sharing a detailed review, and SnapPow including the show in its best of list for 2015.

Starz has shared a video message recorded by Tom addressed to the character of Lucrezia, following the last ever episode being broadcast on Starz last night. It is geo-blocked, so can at least protect the majority of fans who are outside the US, and may be watching on FOX International Channels tonight. If you want to see the video and it is blocked to you, try this link.

Tom shared the above photo on Instagram, and it appears to be one the gifts given to Starfish cast and crew. Filming of Starfish wrapped last Friday, 18th December, with Tom describing it as emotional, exhausting and inspiring in a new article and interview shared by the Evening Standard. The article includes an interview with Joanne Froggatt, and also suggests that the film may be released in 2016.

An interview with Tom, promoting Da Vinci's Demons season 3, was shared in a recent issue of Total TV Guide. It is written by the same author as the recent TV Choice interview (a sister magazine), but has a couple of new nuggets for Tom fans. The full scan is in the galleries. 

It's been a thrilling season so far - is this a credit to new show runner John Shiban?

Starfish writer and director, Bill Clark, shared some filming details on Linkedin last month, as final pre-production on the film was underway, and they were looking for local cast and crew. He revealed that shooting is scheduled to last 1 month. 

This week's TV Choice magazine in the UK has an interview with Tom, discussing season 3 and the legacy the show has left on him. Part of the interview is word for word exactly the same as recent interviews shared by MCM Buzz and SFX, which is strange. But I guess they could all have interviewed Tom at the same time, or accessed the same press resources. The full scan has been uploaded to the galleries. 

This Facebook Page has shared what seems to be a press release about the start of filming Starfish in Rutland today, and includes a short quote from Tom about playing Tom Ray. Tom Ray himself tweeted good wishes to Jo and Tom this morning. The above photo was shared by Origami Films.

Decider.com shared another brief video snippet from NYCC in 2014, and this time Tom, Laura, Gregg and Blake reveal their favourite historical dramas. Tom gets a plug in for everyone's favourite "Lost In Austen".
