The 43-year-old actor - Iwho starred in the award-winning movie as officer Harold Lowe - admitted the atmosphere on the set of the 1997 blockbuster was always "tense" because the director was under a lot of pressure from two studios to finish the movie. Speaking to the Daily Telegraph newspaper, the actor said: "If James Cameron was here now, he'd be delightful. But oh, my goodness, on 'Titanic', he was a man on a mission. "There were two studios breathing down his neck... he was a man possessed so the atmosphere was so tense, but he was just getting this movie done." Gruffudd also starred in the 2005 Hollywood superhero movie 'Fantastic Four' and the subsequent sequel 'Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer' as Mr Fantastic but found making a superhero film isn't the most "satisfying experience" because there's so much CGI involved. He said: "Making those movies isn't the most satisfying experiences, it's all green screen and technical stuff but once it's put together it's extraordinary, doing the promotion, travelling the world first class. "It was just brilliant for a chap who grew up in Aberdare." Now the actor is older he believes he gets considered for more roles because he doesn't look like a "leading man" anymore. He said: "It's exciting because there are all sorts of parts I'd never have been considered Craig as the next James Bond but the actor has confirmed for in the past because I was too young and looked too he was never approached for the iconic role.

  • “Amazing Grace” Starring Ioan Gruffudd, Albert Finney, & Michael
    “Amazing Grace” starring Ioan Gruffudd, Albert Finney, & Michael Gambon, 2006, PG, 118 minutes Major Themes: Slavery Freedom Perseverance & Faith Justice & Reform Politics Interesting info: Tagline – Every song has its story. Every generation has its hero. William Wilberforce (1759 – 1833) was a very gifted statesman, a social reformer, a philanthropist and an evangelical Christian. As well as working to bring about the end of the slave trade, and then to abolish slavery itself, he was concerned about mistreatment of animals (he was a founder member of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, later to become the RSPCA), education, the social impact of heavy gin drinking, and the need for missionaries in various parts of the world, including India and Africa (he was a founder of the Church Missionary Society and the British and Foreign Bible Society). Amazing Grace is the most honored and recorded song of all time. Amazon.com lists some 2000 currently available recordings of Amazing Grace. Nothing else comes remotely close. It crosses all lines—from classical to country, from rock to traditional folk. It is permanently ingrained in the culture. No other song has enjoyed such diverse rendering. He headed the parliamentary campaign against the British slave trade for 26 years until the passage of the Slave Trade Act 1807, when Parliament passed a bill to abolish the slave trade. (The film’s release is a way of marking the bicentennial of that event.) Some years later, just three days before Wilberforce’s death, slavery itself was completely abolished in Britain. Part of his epitaph in Westminster Abbey reads: In the prosecution of these objects he relied, not in vain, on God.

  • Mari Thomas Jewellery: Fitting New Home for Welsh Jewellery Brand
    Mari Thomas Jewellery: fitting new home for Welsh jewellery brand Celebrated Welsh jeweller Mari Thomas was looking to leave her rented business premises when she spotted a local hotel up for sale and realised that it could make the perfect workshop and gallery. By her own admission, Mari Thomas is always moving the goalposts. “My dream when starting out 20 years ago was to have a small workshop and a cabinet of my work in a gallery in Swansea,” she says, “and that happened after about a year. So you set yourself another goal and when you start getting nearer to that you develop bigger and bigger dreams.” A few years ago, Mari sat down and sketched out a five-year plan for her business – “real blue-sky thinking, almost what the impossible could be,” she says. When she took another look at it again recently, she was amazed by how many milestones she had passed. One of the biggest moments in Mari’s career (and there have been many, including pieces made for Sting, actor Ioan Gruffudd, the National Eisteddfod festival and the Welsh Rugby Union), came this summer when she bought her own premises in Llandeilo. Elation, pure panic and a pat on the back With the rent on her previous building rising and plans to buy a new property having fallen through, Mari found her eye drawn to the Old Castle Hotel in the centre of town. “It was bigger than the place I’d been looking at and seemed an enormous hill to climb,” says Mari, who went on to secure a mortgage on the property from NatWest, with help from business development manager Mark Dobson, who was referred by Mark Davis from Stevenage-based brokerage firm Omega Commercial Solutions.

  • Where Responsibility Lies: Corporate Social Responsibility and Campaigns for the Rights of Workers in a Global Economy
    The London School of Economics and Political Science Where responsibility lies: Corporate social responsibility and campaigns for the rights of workers in a global economy Jill Timms A thesis submitted to the Department of Sociology of the London School of Economics for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, London, December 2012 Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other person is clearly identified in it). The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 98,770 words. 2 Abstract Sociological analysis of corporate social responsibility (CSR) is, as yet, limited. This thesis analyses how approaches to CSR are defined and mobilised in relation to the rights of workers in transnational contexts of production and exchange. Participation in emerging global discourses of CSR is becoming standard practice amongst transnational corporations, and the growth and professionalisation of CSR, even during global economic crisis, suggests there may be substantial incentives for those seeking to influence agendas. To misunderstand the significance of CSR is dangerous.

  • Through Casting in King Arthur and the Last Legion*
    On second thoughts, let’s not go to Camelot: situating the ‘historical Arthur’ through casting in King Arthur and The Last Legion* Tony Keen Abstract. Hollywood produced two major Arthurian movies in the mid-2000s, King Arthur (Antoine Fuqua, 2004) and The Last Legion (Doug Lefler, 2007), even though the latter only introduces Arthur in the final scene. Both choose to place their narratives within the ‘historical Arthur’ genre, rejecting the quasi- medieval setting used by Excalibur (John Boorman, 1981), and later the TV series Merlin (UK, 2008– present), and instead placing the story in the context of the end of Roman Britain and the collapse of Roman rule in the west. They thus come within the interests of this conference. This paper is concerned with the ways in which the two movies characterise post-Roman Britain, and in particular, how they use the casting of their lead actor to underline their respective characterizations. King Arthur presents a soldier’s-eye view of the world, and is largely anti-authority (in the shape of the Pope’s representative Germanus). Arthur is a man whose first loyalty is to his men; to this end, the movie casts Clive Owen, known for working class roles in the TV series Chancer (UK, 1990–1991), Croupier (Mike Hodges, 1998) and Gosford Park (Robert Altman, 2001), as Arthur, though supporting him with more upper class figures such as Ioan Gruffudd and Joel Edgerton as Lancelot and Galahad. The Last Legion’s hero, Aurelius, is, in contrast, a man whose first loyalty is to his emperor.
