Ben Whishaw is going to play "Ariel" in the new all-star film version of The Tempest! A role which, according to Wikipedia, was played by women from the 1600s up through the 1930s, when men reclaimed it.
Also, here is an update on "Kill Your Darlings," the movie about the Beats that Ben is supposed to have a role in, playing Lucien Carr, who murdered the older man that Allen Ginsberg was having a relationship with during his college days at Columbia University. A noir-ish account of a murder involving the Beats (with Jesse Eisenberg as Ginsberg and Chris Pine as Jack Kerouac)? Could be a groaner, but...I'll watch it, if it ever gets made. (Ben doesn't sound too hopeful of that happening in this interview clip.)
