Stephanie *Phanie* said:@FL well if we believe that Patricia Rae’s tweets, he’s not there for sure, he’s reading for the other role. Now, how things are going? I don’t know… is he in LA reading for The Wedding, is he going to be in MTL for The Words soon or not? Hard to know for sure.
I guess what matters is that he is working on interesting projects and that we’re going to see a new movie with him soon enough. :D
But still I would love to know more about where he is, you know?!

FL said:@Phanie: The Wedding will only shoot next month, what Patricia had been tweeting are just preliminary preps i.e. table reading, costume fitting etc. Considering The Words only have 25 days to shoot, he has to be on the set in these next few weeks, otherwise it’ll be just weird. Or his part is quite small. But yeah, we’ll never know for sure unless someone spot him and report/tweet it. Regardless, I’ll keep posting The Words updates whether Ben is there or not :)

bernadette said:Ben clearly has a ‘gift of tongues’ so he can do different accents and easily learn to speak a new language.One day I want to see him do a movie as an English man ,like himself,set in a present time.:))

Maiamai said:She´s hilarious :o)
I do hope she´ll keep this up when they´ll start filming. Has she mentioned what date that will be?Although I´m pretty certain Ben is a language person by nature, and it´s impressive to be learning a new one for a movie, I have to say…. he was pretty lucky there though. Spanish is thankfully not a very difficult language to learn. ;o)

It’s nice that she share what’s going on and what she thinks of Ben,but is she going to tweet about everything? Not really complaining,I just don’t want to know everything about the movie before I even get a chance to see it.JMO.June 17th, 2011
JM said:I am perfectly OK with her tweeting anything/everything about Ben lol

Kell said:I agree she can tweet about Ben whenever she likes. No problem here.

Narnian Queen (a.k.a. Helaine) said:@bernadette – She’s only tweeting bits about the pre-production and about Ben. Of course she won’t give details about the plot itself nor anything like that, she may not be even allowed to do that. o.O

l.j.s. said:I’ve been really busy the past month, and haven’t been able to keep up with this sight. Amazing how easy it is to remember why I love this man. LOVE< LOVE< LOVE the video! So great to see the whole essence of the photo shoot. Love the images, and it's a great way to see some of his personalit and humor. Thanks so much for posting it and the pictures from it! XO. I'm also so happy for him getting a part in a new movie with such a great cast. He will get more exposure and…a contemporary film! I think we all remember the interview where he talks about how period pieces has become his norm. Ah, sigh…I still love the man so…;)

FL said:A Scots film tech working w/ Ben in DG has something nice to say about him :)
“Ben Barnes was the star – a friendly, charming guy. He chatted to everyone and kept asking me all about Scotland and could even do a great Scottish accent.
“It wasn’t flirty, he was just charming with everyone. I’ve been very lucky in that I’ve never really worked with any diva types who don’t want to speak to the crew.”

Maiamai said:Thanks for that article Witchyeditor! :o)
It had a really nice picture – lovely woman isn´t she, Patricia Rae?
Does anyone else detect a certain physical likeness to Ben? They´ll look very convincing as mother and son, I´m sure of it.June 21st, 2011
Maiamai said:Well, we know that Ben wasn´t in Italy for the Killing Bono premiere, but Robert was:

Nell said:uh I watched LockedIn but I’m not sure what I think? it seemed like a great idea on paper (the plot) but, imo something (in general) didn’t work. On the plus side, smok’n Ben doin’ sexy things (too damn little haha!). mm this kinda makes me appreciate more that he’s doing a better script (the words).

Speaking of The Words,is he really going to be in it?Hope to get some news that he’s actually doing it.BTW,I saw Limitless with Bradley Cooper where he’s also a writer at the beginning of the film.June 24th, 2011

ALB said:“…..people can see through real you through your behavoir
”Unfortunately not all people. The people having different thoughts on Ben, seeing him a bit more critically than just “he’s so talented, he’s so nice, he’s so kind….” but YET looking forward to seeing his new movies (yes, this IS possible) either don’t care to tell their opinion or don’t bother to post. I can understand their decision because a fan page – like this one – is not the right platform to discuss the ‘other side’ of a celebrity. People adoring somebody overly tend to be blind.
This is not just about eww Ben is dating X or Y, or why didn’t he give money to this or this country. It’s about Ben having been dishonest. I’m in the Ben-fandom since early 2008. I’ve read almost all of his interviews. Comparing what he said to how he actually behaves I must say he is a trickster (won’t use the word liar here), selling cheap lies he thinks the public wants to hear. This is plainly disrespectful.
I do look forward to his movies, simply out of curiosity about how his career is going on. But Ben personally disappointed me.
