Because He's My Boo....

James McAvoy, Nigel Harman and Lyndsey Marshal begin performances in a new production of Richard Greenberg's Three Days of Rain at the Apollo Theatre, Shaftesbury Avenue Jan. 30 prior to an official opening Feb. 10.

The production is currently booking for performances to May 9, and is directed by Jamie Lloyd.

In the play, Walker Janeway (James McAvoy) and his sister Nan (Marshal) reunite for the reading of their father's will in the Manhattan loft where he lived. A wealthy architect, Ned's legacy is the iconic, internationally renowned 1960s New York house designed with his late business partner Theo. Joined by Theo's son Pip (Nigel Harman), the three childhood friends meet to settle the estate and determine the future of the house. The discovery of a brief entry, "three days of rain," in Ned's diary is the only clue to the true stories of the previous generation. According to press materials, the play "explores how the private worlds of one generation are reinterpreted by the next. A tender and surprising story of love lies at the heart of a creative conflict that could never have been imagined by these children. The actors play both generations in this humorous and touching play about family and the enigma of parenthood."

My Blue-Eyed Future Husband

The Bafta-winning star will receive a Fellowship from the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama (RSAMD) in Glasgow next month. Acclaimed British actor, producer and director Lord Attenborough will also be honoured at the graduation ceremony on November 20.

McAvoy, 29, who is best known for his film roles in The Last King of Scotland and Atonement, as well as the television series Shameless, recently backed a campaign opposing cuts at the drama school. The honour is being given in recognition of his support to the Academy. The Scot graduated from the RSAMD in 2000.

RSAMD principal John Wallace said: "James was very active in a huge campaign involving the academy and he has been very involved in the academy since he left. "We are absolutely delighted that he has accepted the invitation and are looking forward to seeing him next month."

'Wanted' To Be A Trilogy

Wanted may have been number two at the box office last weekend, but it was a number two with a lot of ticket sales behind it. There’s already been talk of a sequel, but if what our sources are telling us is true, they aren’t planning a sequel but a trilogy.

One of our best sources dropped me a note this morning with details on where Wanted is headed, as the rush to turn it into a franchise begins. Two more sequels, not just one are already being planned out, and from what we’ve been told both James McAvoy and Terrence Stamp are an absolute lock to be back.

"Wanted" An International Hit

Beaten by a friendly robot domestically, Wanted can take solace in dominating the foreign marketplace for the weekend ending Sunday, June 29.

According to media reports, the comic book adaptation took in a solid $33 million in its first week in foreign release, opening day-and-date on 1,922 screens in 22 markets.

Given director Timur Bekmambetov's blockbuster pedigree, Wanted had its biggest international opening in Russia, where the James McAvoy/Angelina Jolie vehicle made $11 million. Wanted added an additional $8 million in its United Kingdom opening.

James McAvoy Is My True Love

Atonement star James McAvoy and his actress wife Anne Marie Duff ensure their work schedules never clash - because they fear spending time apart.

The Scottish actor cannot bear to be apart from his wife - so has refused to take on any movie roles while his wife works on new projects. He tells Closer magazine, "We try to organise it so that one of us is there when the other is working. But it doesn't always happen! It's great when we're both working, but it means we don't see each other, so one of us to make a decision to not work for a few months. So I'm slowing down now and I'll be her bitch while she makes a movie!"
