The Book Of Mormon London Launch Interviews
Red Carpet News joined the cast, creators and celebrity fans on the red carpet in London for the official opening night of latest West End musical hit The Book Of Mormon, created by South Park pair Matt Stone & Trey Parker with Avenue Q c0-creator Robert Lopez.
The Book Of Mormon tells the story of two young Mormon missionaries sent to a remote village in Norther Uganda, where a brutal warlord is threatening the local population. The hapless pair have trouble connecting with the locals, who are more concerned with war, amine, poverty and AIDS than religion.
The show took seven years to develop and has already proved a massive success on Broadway, despite it’s potentially controversial subject matter and expletive ridden songs.
Check out exclusive video interviews below with the shows, creators, cast and celeb fans:
Downton Abbey Series 4 Interviews
At the red carpet opening night performance of controversial new musical hit The Book Of Mormon we caught up with Downton Abbey Stars Brendan Coyle, Lesley Nicol and Sophie McShera.
The cast of the wildly popular BBC series offered their opinions on why the nation remains so deeply fascinated with period drama. They also spoke a little about what fans can expect form the new 4th season currently being filmed and why they love being involved in the show so much.
Brendan Coyle in particular who plays valet Bates admitted that even though he’s only seen scripts for half of the new episodes he thinks that the new series of Downton Abbey looks set to be the best yet.

As an added bonus our recent interviews with fellow Downton Abbey stars Allen Leech & Laura Carmichael below from the opening night of Macbeth:
Hunger Games Star Joins Ninja Turtles Cast
Hunger Games Catching Fire star Alan Ritchson will reportedly play one of the Ninja Tutles in the new film version directed by Jonathan Liebesman and produced by Michael Bay.
Joining the previously confirmed Megan Fox, Ritchson will apparently be playing sai wielding CGI turtle Raphael. For those unfamiliar with the genius of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or struggling to remember their long lost childhoods, Raphael was the wisecracking one in the red bandanna.
Ritchson will motion capture the part, leading to inevitably disappointing leaked set photos of four men in blue spotted unitards fighting ninjas. It’s presumed he’ll also be providing the voice of the character. Assuming Michael Bay doesn’t decide to entirely replace dialogue with 2hrs of deafening explosions.
The Rock Getting A Fast & Furious Spin-Off
Speaking to Empire Magazine whilst promoting the new G.I. Joe sequel The Rock aka Dwayne Johnson has suggested that his perpetually angry character from the never-ending Fast and the Furious Franchise might get his own solo adventure at some point.
“Possibly… after this one. After the next one. Possibly. I’m not quite too sure. I know that’s the goal, and we continue to build that character and have him take shape, form. But yes, can’t wait.”
Our own red carpet chat with The Rock below from the G.I. Joe Retaliation premiere, talking about Star Wars, Wrestlemania and Expendables 3 :
