'Incendiary' release date 24 October for UK

IMDb reports Capitol Films 'Incendiary', starring Matthew Macfadyen, Ewan McGregor and Michelle Williams, will be released in the U.K. on 24 October 2008. IMDb also lists Optimum Releasing as the distributor throughout the U.K.

A synopsis from Capitol Films describes the plot:

A young mother (Michelle Williams) is tormented by guilt - she was with her cocky, Aston Martin-driving tabloid-journalist boyfriend (Ewan McGregor) when her loved ones perished in the explosion. But she gets a chance to exorcise her demons when she stumbles into details of a police cover-up orchestrated by Lenny's former boss, Terrance (Matthew Macfadyen). And a budding friendship with the son of a suicide bomber could provide the key to her salvation.

The film first premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in February 2008. A U.S. release date is still forthcoming.(thanks Ivy for heads up)

Frost/Nixon World Premiere at London Film Festival

The World Premiere of the Working Title/Universal film 'Frost/Nixon' will debut at the London Film Festival, according to Screendaily.com. The London Film Festival will commence on October 15-30 and Frost/Nixon will headline the festival on opening day.

Matthew Macfadyen co stars in this "soon to be classic" film (Entertainment Weekly) playing the role of British producer of the now infamous interviews of the time, John Birt.

The Sir David Frost and former president Nixon series of interviews from 1977 are credited as the only "confession" of any wrongdoing by Nixon and considered ground breaking for it's time. Nixon is portrayed by veteran actor Frank Langella whose performance is touted as Oscar worthy, having already won a Tony for his performance on Broadway and the West End. Frost is portrayed by a gripping portrayal from actor Michael Sheen (The Queen) who also portrayed the same character on both the Broadway and West End stages. The screenplay is penned by "The Queen" writer Peter Morgan. The star studded ensemble cast is directed by the infamous Ron Howard.

(Thanks Sharon L for the Entertainment Weekly quote.)

Matthew At 'Glamour Awards'

Matthew Macfadyen and Phil Glenister had a good laugh as they "snogged" for the paparazzi Tuesday evening at Glamour's "Woman of the Year" Awards, held at the Berkeley Square Gardens on June 3, 2008 in London, England.

It was all in good fun of course, as Matthew was there to support his wife Keeley Hawes who won the award for 'Best TV Actress'. Her co star, 'Ashes to Ashes' star Phil Glenister, presented the award to her that evening.
