Brian Cox certainly chose a bold ice breaker when he met Meryl Streep. The star opens up about a conversation he says he once had with the legendary actress, which certainly seemed to have caught her attention. While interviewing Emily Blunt for 's Actors on Actors series, talk turns to Blunt's breakthrough role opposite Streep in 2006's . «I loved it,» Cox says of the film.

Meryl Streep won great acclaim (and an Oscar nomination) for her performance as imperious fashion magazine editor Miranda Priestly in “The Devil Wears Prada”.

Emily Blunt and Brian Cox opened up about so much in their interview for Variety‘s Actors on Actors series.

Brian Cox and Emily Blunt have come together to discuss “Succession” and “The English,” two character-driven projects that examine the brutality of American culture. Both shows deal with wealth: Cox’s brooding media mogul Logan Roy met a shocking demise on the HBO series that had us bawling in its fourth and final season, while Blunt’s Lady Cornelia is an 1890s aristocrat seeking answers about the death of her son in the Amazon Prime Video limited series. In person, the two New York transplants have too much in common to capture in one interview. They begin chatting well before cameras roll, and keep going for 20 minutes after the shoot wraps. The two make plans for Blunt to show Cox “the best croissant in Brooklyn” as their handlers wait patiently in the wings.

But the highly acclaimed series almost continued.In a new interview in Variety, “Succession” star Kieran Culkin tells fellow actor and longtime friend Claire Danes that the show’s creator, Jesse Armstrong, considered doing additional seasons. He “pitched an amazing fifth season and then another and another,” seemingly off the top of his head, Culkin said of Armstrong.

Spoiler alert: this is the year of major characters dying on HBO drama series. And if you haven’t heard of these yet, well, the statute of limitations has expired.

J. Kim Murphy SPOILER ALERT: This story contains narrative details for the final season of “Succession.” “Succession” ended when it aired its series finale in May, but the acclaimed HBO series was over even earlier than that for one of its stars. Brian Cox admits that he hasn’t fired up the final episode of the show — and he doesn’t seem inclined to get to it anytime soon. Speaking with the BBC, Cox explained why he didn’t watch the end of “Succession” with the rest of the world. “I’ve never liked watching myself, for a start,” Cox explains. “Because of what happened to Logan, I’ve been disinclined to watch.”

Succession star Brian Cox has admitted he hasn't watched the show's finale, but said it had been 'one of the great shows of all time.'

The IDGAF era of Brian Cox’s career has been an entertaining thing to keep an eye on. It seems with every new interview, the iconic actor just says something that riles people up and makes headlines.

Succession.The actor, who played Logan Roy in the HBO series, explained during a BBC interview that the fate of his character in the fourth season meant he felt “disinclined” to watch the final episodes.“I’ve never liked watching myself for a start,” Cox said. “And somehow or other, because of what happened to Logan, I’ve been disinclined to watch the rest. I knew how it was going to end because I knew Logan had already set it up.

“Succession” star Sarah Snook said that every day working on the popular HBO drama series felt like a “pinch me moment.”“Is this my job? Do I have to commute by boat to a super yacht for work? It’s bad, it’s very, very bad,” the actress said during a behind-the-scenes featurette you can watch above. “The last couple of episodes in Season 2 when we’re on the boat in Croatia, that was like ‘I’m getting paid for this? Oh, OK.'”She noted that the final scene shot – the “meal fit for a king” sequence – was a “playful, joyful, silly kind of experience.”“It was really fun but once we finished that, the kind of reality hit and I got pretty sad again,” Snook added.Brian Cox said the diner scene between Colin and Logan in Season 4 was a “lovely scene” to film.“It’s an acknowledgement of a character who’s just been a constant throughout the whole show,” Cox said.

“AI ain’t gonna write Succession, or Chinatown or The Godfather,” says Jeremy Strong of what’s at stake with the writers’ strike. “It’s just not going to,” the actor who brought Jesse Armstrong’s words for Kendall Roy to life bluntly adds.

Jessica Kiang In her career to date, French director Katell Quillévéré has demonstrated an unusual talent for connecting to her characters so intensely that in some moments they seem less to be up on the screen in front of you, than sitting right next to you. Or even, as with the daydreams and interior musings that punctuated her wonderful last film “Heal the Living,” right inside you. But with her fourth feature, “Along Came Love,” that intimate connection appears to have been broken, as though this turbid post-war romantic saga is coming to us through the decades via a long-distance call that keeps dropping. Perhaps to establish some authenticity early, the film opens with archival footage of the French liberation celebrations at the end of World War II. The jubilant scenes darken as “collaborator” Frenchwomen, accused of pursuing relationships with the occupying Germans, are lined up for ritual public humiliation. Last year, Alice Diop’s extraordinary “Saint Omer” also alluded to the practise of shame-shaving these women’s heads, then allowed the viewer to infer the connection to its seemingly unrelated story. By contrast, “Along Came Love” makes the link ploddingly literal — and also a little dubious considering the florid melodrama that is about to unfold — by morphing from archive to (admittedly well-matched) monochrome footage of thus-disgraced Madeleine (Anaïs Demoustier), fleeing the retributive mob and taking refuge in a barn, where she tries to scrub the painted swastika off her pregnant belly. 

HBO‘s Succession will not be getting a spin-off series, per the network’s Head of Drama Francesca Orsi.The news comes after the show’s final episode aired, bringing the hit series to a close. Speaking to Deadline, Orsi shared: “I know there was some talk about spinoffs, but no, not at all”.Orsi added: “I’ll never say never but my instinct and based on a number of conversations about the evolution of Succession and these characters, at this stage, there is no intention of spinning any one character off”.The HBO exec also said that while she doesn’t know what Succession creator Jesse Armstrong is planning to do next, she thinks “it will be entirely original.

While Succession patriarch Brian Cox has called co-star Mark Strong’s method acting “f***ing annoying” and last week complained Logan Roy was killed off “ultimately too early,” it seems those irritants did not define Cox’s experience on the show. Quite the opposite.
