I’ve never really gotten the Sebastian Stan stans. Sebastian got a lot of love from a devoted fandom because of his role in the Marvel films (he played Bucky/The Winter Soldier), and I’ve seen women swear up and down that Sebastian is the hottest thing on two legs. While it’s fun that everyone has different tastes, I guess I just never even saw it, although here’s something I will give the Stan fans: he’s better in motion. In photos, I feel nothing, but there’s something compelling about him when you see him move. So, this is also for Stan’s stans: new photos of Sebastian filming in Enniskerry Village in Ireland this week. Stan is working on We Have Always Lived in the Castle, an adaptation of the 1962 story by Shirley Jackson. It’s period/horror. A summary:
One of the better known stories by Jackson, a 20th century horror writer best known for her novel The Haunting of Hill House, the plot centers on an isolated family, which has already lost four members to poisoning, that uses rituals and talismans to keep itself away from hostile townspeople. Into this scenario arrives a distant cousin, intent on maliciously securing the family’s fortune and whose arrival sets in motion the uncovering of family secrets. Stan will play the cousin, Charles Blackwood.
Sebastian Stan playing the creepy, malevolent villain? Shocking! He totally doesn’t look like that type! Ha. Anyway, I’m not actually getting creepy and malevolent from these photos. Stan looks like he’s playing a character named Jimmy Knuckles or Mack the Hammer, a two-bit gangster doing minor cons in a backwoods Irish village. He looks like he’s about to break out into a song from Guys & Dolls. Sebastian Stan: would you hit it?
