Ben Chaplin

Comedy thriller

... that's when Ben Chaplin was sup-

... gonna be the next, you know, actor's actor.

Yeah.

We suck.

Uh, let's go to the actors, Ben Chaplin, who had a way bigger role in the thin red line, had a very small, blinky, missing role in this one.

I don't know if you remember his role in the thin red line, if you saw it recently or not, but he played the husband who lost his wife, uh, to, uh, the, another air force captain.

He got a dear John letter while he was in the military.

And that was it.

I saw him in the canoe paddling.

I'm like, oh, there's Ben Chaplin.

Because I haven't seen this movie in a while.

It's a storybook kind of feeling.

And we get this beautiful countryside springtime vibe setting here Haley Atwell as her mother as a blonde no less um Ben Chaplin as her father they're just a loving couple with a little girl they named Ella and it's just the blissful I think they call it the golden childhood that Ella has and they have to kind of succinctly let the audience know, you know, here in the beginning, she had that beautiful childhood.

Yeah.

I love like the whimsical nature of their interactions and their life and their home.

We've talked about her on the podcast with The Duchess.

And I mean, she's been around for a while.

Ben Chaplin as her father.

This is an interesting actor.

The dad gets worse.

Ben Chaplin's in this.

Also got someone called Ruth Wilson, who we saw in Lufa.

She's really good.

It was on air I think within about three and a half years, which is very fast for television.

We got Juliet Stevenson for the audiobook and Emily Watson starring in the television, uh, miniseries along with Ben Chaplin.

And it had, what can I say? It had sex in a cupboard in the Houses of Parliament.

[laughs]

I immediately got sucked into the charm and romance of this film.

Ben Chaplin and Ginny Garofalo are perfect together in this movie.

And Uma Thurman is really good in it as well.

This is a film that feels very 90s and brings me back to that time when I was dating in my late 20s.

But if you're not Vin Diesel, let me tell you a little bit about the film and why this trailer is catching so many eyes.

So the plot description reads, a 10-year-old girl begins to believe her parents, played by Ruth Wilson and Ben Chaplin, by the way, great actors right there, are trying to kill her.

Convinced a sinister spirit is to blame, she spirals into a haunting fantasy world that mirrors her deepest fears.

You might come away from that plot description and be like, seen that movie before, kinda sounds like Cobweb, especially from 2023.

I don't know.

But anyway, uh, music by James Newton Howard, and starring Emily Watson, Alex Etel, Ben Chaplin, David Morrissey, and Brian Cox.

Ooh, barely.

And, uh, the plot is more or less as follows: In the Scottish Highlands in 1942, young Angus MacMorrow finds a mysterious egg on the beach.
