Caps from God on Trial have been added to the gallery.

If you missed it, it is up on the BBC iPlayer to watch until next Wednesday. If you are outside the UK and were not able to see it, someone has uploaded it onto Youtube but I would expect it to be deleted soon so watch it while you can!

More pictures from The Duchess premiere including some HQs from the after party have been added to the gallery. I’ve also found some new articles and added new videos to the archive.

Real interviews Dominic Cooper about his role in The Duchess

The UK premiere of The Duchess took place in London tonight. I’ve added the first pictures from the event with more to come, so keep checking back!

Dominc appeared on Radio 1 earlier today along with Keira Knightley to promote The Duchess.

You can listen to the interview here (it starts around 1:40).

Also, just a reminder that God on Trial is showing on BBC 2 at 9pm tomorrow!

Dominc has been confirmed as starring in a new short film entitled Official Selection as The Stranger. The 10-minute film is a satire of short films and also features a few of Dominc’s previous co-stars - Stephen Campbell Moore, Rebecca Hall and Amanda Seyfried. There is no word on a release date just yet, but it recently recieved its premiere at Palm Springs International Festival of Short Films on August 26 so hopefully there will be more news soon!

Synopsis:

1853
Emily Dickinson (Hall) is locked in a house with her lover Arthur Rimbaud (Stevenson); trapped by psycho-sexual visions of her past affairs with Verlaine (Cooke) and Walt (Campbell-Moore) and by the menacing rape and torture of the Christ. A brutal examination of love gone sour, left to fester and explode, erasing any trace of sanity that came before.

2006
Emily Dickinson (Seyfried) is trapped by the imperialist policy of modern America war, that pointlessly cost the life of her true love The American Soldier (Roerig) in the Fallujah green zone. Emily endeavors to erase her pain with sexual satisfaction provided by a willing Stranger (Cooper). A brutal examination of the collateral cost of imperialism, the implosion of the heart and the sexualization of the flag.

Eight Years Before The Death of Christ
A young Jesus Christ (Hebel) is imprisoned by a deviant Butcher (Sandvig) who satisfies his own carnal desires through emotional molestation and the sensual pleasuring of Christ and then by waterboarding him. A brutal examination of the missing years of Christ’s life, sexual torture and the Stockholm syndrome, as well a supposition on Christ’s homosexuality.

The official site can be found here and contains news about the film, an image gallery and more! An image from the film has been added to the gallery.

A new interview with Dominic to promote The Duchess has been posted by The Guardian:

I don’t,” says Dominic Cooper, dipping a biscuit coquettishly into his cappuccino froth, “take roles where I keep my clothes on.” He is joking. Or is he? Even now I can’t help but think of Keira Knightley lowering her embonpoint on to his buff chest in his new costume-drama romp, The Duchess. Not to mention that scene in Mamma Mia! in which he bobs towards his fiancee across the Aegean, astride a jet-ski, half naked but without a hint of torso jiggle. Not since Daniel Craig emerged from the sea in those swimming trunks, has British masculinity been so out and proud on celluloid as it has been in Cooper’s recent work.

But Cooper does more than nude torso. “In any photo shoot,” he says, archly raising his left eyebrow, “I have to be covered in lube.” He’s responding gamely to my what-were-you-thinking-of question about his recent shoot for the gay lifestyle magazine Attitude in which he appeared in an array of moist poses. “Actually, it wasn’t lube, it was water,” he says. “The photographer had an idea, which I thought was good aesthetically, that there would be a mist of water between him and me. But when I got to the shoot there was this bloke on a ladder with a bucket of water which he kept throwing over me. I only got mildly aggressive towards the end.”
