Blind Item #10

The wife of this foreign born A list dual threat actor now considers herself a world class movie producer after being on a set twice. Umm. So, anyway, she is committing the new family production company to some really big ticket items and if you haven't noticed, the cash flow has slowed to a trickle.

Sophie Hunter

In May 2017, Hunter was announced as a producer for the film adaptation of Megan Hunter's dystopian novel The End We Start From alongside her husband Cumberbatch and Adam Ackland's production company Sunnymarch, and Liza Marshall's Hera Productions.

Sophie Hunter has been on film sets more than twice in her life. She doesn't have the ability to commit SunnyMarch to anything, she isn't a partner in the company and it's not a new company anyway. Nobody knows what their balance sheet or cash flow looks like, there have been no announcements made on that topic since StudioCanal invested in them last year. The Child in Time DVD will be released in the UK soon and the movie is due to be broadcast in the US in 2018. Melrose is currently filming in partnership with Sky and Showtime. Hunter is only listed as a producer on Megan Hunter's novel adaptation project and that doesn't even start until next year. If this is intended to be Sophie Hunter, it's very poorly done and every sentence can be easily refuted by facts.

What does dual threat mean? Jamie Dornan is an actor who used to be singer. Is he a dual threat? Does he have a production company now? Cumberbatch is an actor, he's never been trained to sing or dance. He's also got a resume full of movies, tv, and theatre, so is he a triple threat? The terms used by Clickbait Media Firm Enty are very confusing.

Adriana, did you send this in? It's a hot mess like most of your thoughts.

Huh. Not the blind I expected about this couple. I figured there would be one about how she was "allegedly" given to him by Harvey Weinstein in exchange for his soul or something.

OKay said...

@ForSure In Enty's world, "dual threat" means TV and movies. Yes, we all know that's incorrect, and yes, we all know Enty is an idiot.

Mrs Meat said...

I don't know these people, but I don't like the tone of this either. This is school yard bitching, not a 'reveal' or juicy gossip. Pure unsubjective spite that doesn't stand up to scrutiny from the sounds of it. Probably misogynis to boot.

IIOY said...

Definitely Sophie. Well, here's another project that's going to whimper and die. And unfortunately, it'll reflect more poorly on him.

ForSure said...

@CeeKay, thank you.

aeltrileaf(.)tumblr(.)com is really becoming unhinged lately. This blind might have been submitted by her and she might be the account known as IIOY. Perhaps local authorities need to be called to conduct a wellness check on her before she acts out. The stress of keeping this fantasy going for 2+ years might be getting to her.

Oh my God. Are they going to keep making these sappy weeeee-waaahhh sentimental precious family-life dramas? I like the girl from "Trainspotting" but that "Child In Time" thing was, eh. What happened to that spy-ish one where Benedict goes after some Hitler-like character who killed his girlfriend or something?

I might try to see the Patrick Melrose addict mess thing, tho, if I can get the DVD or something.

Whatever, I'm just waiting for "Thor: Ragnarok" start right now! I best get my cup of hot chocolate now. Hm. ☕️

Scandi Sanskrit said...

Maybe dude means on set as a producer? Have all that power? And doesn't it count as "dual-threat" if you can write your own material too?

Scandi Sanskrit said...

Enty isn't an idiot. He just thinks differently.

Scandi Sanskrit said...

Me too. Remember how she just came out of nowhere (and it did NOT seem at all like it was because he was 'hiding' her for some reason) and we were all so confused by how fast everything happened?

I'm just so desperate to know what happened.

Even before I knew what HW was all about, I used to get these awful nightmares about him (he just émits bad energy all around, I suppose and it seeps Into out dreams. He's awfulness probably goes beyond sexual assault and he also ruins the lives/careers in general. Once I had a dream that my then Boyfriend (I thought he was my boyfriend, but it turned out to be all a big misunderstanding) and I had two of the eggs I layed stolen by HW and he locked the two of us out of his Versailles-like master bedroom so we could watch it hatch and and we just stood outside the door sad.

Scandi Sanskrit said...

I'm jus t separate to know what happened. ☹️

IDK. 🙁

This sounds like the wife of Cumberbatch. If it's true he needs to sort this problem fast. And some of the commenters above need to take a chill pill. No need to get so worked up over a BI

Hannah J said...

Wow...I always found it a bit odd that actors/actresses non-famous/rarely famous "significant others" have so many fans. I always believed these people commenting on boards were either the significant others or people close to them.

I find it difficult to believe any BIs about Sophie Hunter. No, I'm not claiming she's perfect but she has some seriously obsessed stalkers spreading rumours about her. I wonder how far this thing will go before it comes to a head.

snoopydooper said...

I took dual threat to mean film and stage acting.

Scandi Sanskrit said...

@SnoopyDooper: I'm not trying to start a semantics war on this thread, but FYI: https://www.backstage.com/advice-for-actors/backstage-experts/be-new-triple-threat-actorwriterproducer/ 🤓

None of the five zillion BIs about Sophie Hunter being a top Satanist human trafficker former hooker who is forcing Benedict Cumberbatch to pretend to be married to her and carry around two plastic dolls/illegally purchased children to pass of as his are true. They're all submitted by two severely mentally ill stalkers.

The reason people get pressed is because they've stalked, harassed and abused SO many people. Daily ranting paranoid emails to journalists. Harassing and cyber stalking anyone who knows, works with or even meets Cumberbatch as a fan. Invading every gossip forum, spamming Tumblr tags, gatecrashing convos about completely unrelated things. They are just relentless and inescapable. That level of obsessive 24/7 investment would be scary even if it was over something innocuous. The fact it's over a campaign to stalk, hate and libel some random woman they don't know from Adam for literally no reason other than that she married their fantasy boyfriend is truly terrifying and vile.

It's pretty common for celeb spouses. My brother dated a reality star, and last year I worked with a woman whose partner is a famous actor, and both of them regularly get a ton of fan attention and fans trying to get close to them. Even I got a few fans trying to befriend me on Twitter just for working with this actor's girlfriend and meeting him twice.

It's a weird thing psychologically, stans either demonise or idolise the person their idol marries.
