02 MARCH 2010 - Rhys Ifans Discusses Working with David
Ifans Wants Thewlis in Every Movie
The two stars have recently shot three films together, including "Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows", and now Ifans wants Thewlis to be a part of every movie he makes.
The "Notting Hill" star says, "He is one of my favourite actors. He is slightly older than me; I grew up watching (classic British film) "Naked" and I'm just a big David Thewlis fan. I love the place he acts from.
"We did "Mr. Nice" together and then of course we did Harry Potter together and now we're about to do "Anonymous" together. It's the Rhys and David show this year. I need Thewlis in all my movies because we get on really, really well."

For weeks we've been anticipating word of David's mysterious upcoming project that he was eager to take on in Berlin. Details of this endeavor were released today, David will be portraying 'William Cecil' in Anonymous, also starring Vanessa Redgrave and Rhys Ifans.
"Anonymous" tackles the thorny theory that's circulated for the past 100 years that Shakespeare’s plays were, in fact, written by Edward de Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford. The director divulged his cast of Elizabeth types when we caught up with him.
Roland Emmerich (director of 2012) will be leading the production and says of his upcoming film; “It’s a mix of a lot of things: it’s an historical thriller because it’s about who will succeed Queen Elizabeth and the struggle of the people who want to have a hand in it. It’s the Tudors on one side and the Cecils on the other, and in between [the two] is the Queen. Through that story we tell how the plays written by the Earl of Oxford ended up labelled 'William Shakespeare'.”
Filming is scheduled to take place in Berlin (Germany) during March of 2010.
