If you read the book the Robert Laing character is very Hiddlestoney or very Hiddlestonian, I suppose. It’s that thing of control, but there’s a spark behind Hiddleston of perversity as well. Which he plays full-bore with Loki. There is something about him which is establishment but is also wild,which is what we liked about him a lot.

Hiddlestonian.
It’s now a thing.
Decades from now they may call an entire range of films or their influence on film-making “Hiddlestonian.”
All because of this talented fuckface.

As I said: Freudian, Shakespearean, and now, Hiddlestonian.

Welcome to the Hiddlestonian era

Wellesian, Orwellian, Spielbergian, too.
Establishment + control + perversity = Hiddlestonian (I like this very much, and I’ve loved Wheatley’s description of the reasons why he chose Tom for a while; absolutely a perfect description)
Also why I think Cumberbatch couldn’t have played Sir Thomas Sharpe – he’s missing that wildness, IMO.

Funnily enough, there are those who question Cumberbatch’s ability to portray Hamlet’s madness, and their reasonings are pretty much the same: that he is too “buttoned up” (direct quote) to be able to do madness well. On the other hand: acting. We’ll see, I suppose, but nonetheless I’m glad that it was Thomas playing Sharpe.
