Ben Whishaw news

The google alerts (yep I'm sad) have been a little thin on the ground with any news of what Ben Whishaw might be up to next. He has two films in post production, Bright Star and The Tempest but with no release dates as yet although there are reports that the former will show at Cannes this year followed by general release in the Summer.
I was starting to think that he 'resting' and kind of hoping that he would be announcing some stage work soon.
Well it's not the latter, much to my disappointment, although I maintain hope of him treading the boards before the year is out, but it is a film about poet Allen Ginsberg.
Whishaw will play Lucien Carr in the flick which is called Kill Your Darlings and centres around Ginsberg and the beginings of the beat generation.
All sounds very interesting and as it's not a cultural phenomenom that I know much about its a good excuse to do some reading.
