Before Charlie Hunnam found US success with the likes of Sons Of Anarchy and Pacific Rim he was Nathan, the Manchester teenager first finding his way in the gay world in the seminal TV show, Queer As Folk. That was 18-years-ago now, but while doing the promotional rounds for his new movie, King Arthur, Hunnam has suggested he wouldn’t be averse to a bit of a reunion.
The 37-year-old actor tells The Sun, “I’d be game for a reunion. It’s a long time ago, I’m an old b****** now – that was 20 years ago. When I’m back in England, people still recognize me as Nathan. It was the beginning of my career, so I have very fond memories of it I’m very proud of being a part of that show. I’m very happy when people bring it up.”
There’s already been a mini reunion, as Aiden Gillen, who played Stuart in Queer As Folk, also appears in King Arthur. Hunnam says of him, “I always felt like I owed him a grand debt of gratitude. I really thanked him for the impact he had on me. He thought I was mad but I felt it deeply.”
Unfortunately there’s been no word that any more Queer As Folk might really happen, and the show’s creator, Russell T. Davies, has previously suggested he feels the story is completed and he’s not particularly interested in going back to Stuart, Nathan and Vince. You never know though, and maybe Hunnam’s interest might make him and others think again.
Fans of the DC TV universe will know Keiynan Lonsdale as Wally West/Kid Flash, who’s become an increasingly important part of the show since he first showed up partway through Season 2. Now the actor has decided it’s time to let the world know that he is bisexual.
Although some people never quite ‘got’ the 1996 Tony winning musical Rent, it cemented its place as a touchstone of modern musical theatre, running for 12 years on Broadway (which at the time put it amongst the 10 longest-running shows in Broadway history). Now it’s headed to TV as a live musical event, which Fox has announced it is planning to air in the US.
Reese Withspoon saw much of her early success in a string of rom coms, and now she’s headed back into the genre with Home Again. Michael Sheen, Candice Bergen, and Lake Bell also star.
There aren’t that many female directors, even fewer black female directors, and fewer still black female lesbian directors, so Dee Rees is a little bit special, especially considering the success she’s had with movies like Pariah and the biopic Bessie. Now though she’s planning something a little different, a horror movie about black lesbians in rural America.
After a successful run at film festivals, including winning Short of the Week at the 2016 SXSW Film Festival, 1985 is now preparing to become a movie. It’s a good time then to take a look back at the original nine-minute film.

Synopsis: ‘When four lifelong friends – Regina Hall, Queen Latifah, Jada Pinkett Smith and Tiffany Haddish – travel to New Orleans for the annual Essence Festival, sisterhoods are rekindled, wild sides are rediscovered, and there’s enough dancing, drinking, brawling and romancing to make the Big Easy blush.’
Sometimes you don’t need to take long to tell an interesting story. That’s certainly true of Ecstasy, which is only four-minutes long, but certainly leaves the viewer with a few things to ponder. It doesn’t hurt either that it’s a well made movie with some good visuals.
