If Hammond was at his table,we would have probably seen Fassbender talking about Yahtzee..
I guess they've talked with many people. It doesn't mean that everything they say ends up being reported on Deadline,Variety,THR. I read her tweets and it was evident that she was just looking for a juicy headline about their relationship.

How amazing! Alicia seems to know exactly the right people to talk to.
All she asked was about TLBO and mentioned 'girlfriend Alicia'. Don't see how he would be annoyed by her in their brief interaction.

No wonder he was annoyed . He was doing promo for FOX's X-Men and this lady wanted to divert focus to some juicy personal stuff. It is just not the correct platform

#TheLightBetweenOceans is a beautifully moving heartbreaking film about love, loss and redemption. Vikander & Michael Fassbender shine 10/10

I don't think he dislikes what she is doing either. They both want the same thing, she is just the more aggressive participant.
Is Rachel Weisz in the movie at all? No signs of her during the press junket, none of these tweets mention her either. I will be rather disappointed if she does not have a substantial part in the movie.
I'm guessing she will take part in the promotions closer to the release date but it is weird that she isn't being mentioned in any tweets.
I hope she shows up to VFF premiere for the movie. One of my colleagues saw the movie and she was not impressed by it. We all have different tastes when it comes to movies so I am still keeping my hopes up. I will not be too disappointed if I dont like it because of the free screening passes LOL! Thanks mollie!
I've been paying attention to the Letterboxd ratings, and the most recent ones are pretty mediocre, but some people don't like weepies/melodramas, so that's to be expected. And then there are some in the 4-5 star range. Or maybe it really is mediocre. We'll see soon.

The light between oceans was beyond amazing.
Is there an embargo on official critic reviews until release date? I have only seen tweets about the quality of the movie.
I know one Slant writer has seen it, but I don't know under what circumstances and from what I can tell, there haven't been any big press screenings on either coasts. Usually critics tweet about what they're seeing, even if they're not allowed to say what they think of it.
And I think it's possible that its selection for Venice was contingent on having a pretty late embargo. I'm not expecting any official reviews until the week of its release. But I could be wrong.
I had forgotten that she has a lead role in Denial, a baity-looking drama about a professor who takes on Holocaust deniers. It's being released later in September. So it's possible that her team doesn't want to waste her chat show airtime on TLBO. They might be putting all her eggs in the Denial basket. That doesn't totally explain why she hasn't done junket interviews yet though.
You are missing the point. Margot Robbie is a more of a known quantity because of WOWS. That is what I was saying and that was in reference to the cover. As for Macbeth and Tulip Fever, again, no comparison. No one cares about Tulip Fever. No one cared then, no one cares now. There is no clamoring because it hasn't been released. People were talking about Macbeth prior to release wondering what happened to it and when it was coming out. It's gross may have been low, but it was released. Tulip Fever has not been. In fact, to add insult to injury, it was pulled about ten days prior to release. So, no, again there is no comparison.Lawrence has yet to prove that she can sell a movie without a franchise attached to her name. Passengers is her big test (same for Pratt). Larson is the new Captain Marvel but people are going to see the new Marvel movie,not the new Larson's movie. Nothing indicates that she will be a BO draw. Evans is Captain America but I wouldn't call him a star.Movie stars are people like DiCaprio,Cruise (he has some flops in US but he's usually a BO draw overseas),Damon,Pitt and Jolie. Judging by her acting references,I think she's more interested in quality projects,mixing mainstream and indie stuff like many other actors.
I'm comparing Oscar winner Vikander who is promoting Jason Bourne and TLBO with Margot Robbie who was in the WOWS three years ago and she didn't even have this great,iconic role..It's funny how she wasn't even the "it girl" of that awards season because Lupita was everywhere. According to everyone this is/was going to be her big,breakout year. In this thread Vikander and Robbie can't be put in the same sentence. If Vikander is not "known",I don't see why people should know Robbie/recognize her face and remember her name.. She was on the VF cover simply because she was promoting Suicide Squad. It's the same reason why Vikander got her covers.
And yes,Macbeth and TF are actually comparable. Fassbender and Vikander are the lead actors and,according to a certain someone,Harvey is still planting stories to promote his "powerful couple"
This. Fans have this misconception that actors approve everything.. I've read many,many interviews that would have never been approved. Alicia had some bad experiences last year. I've read things in Michael's interviews that would have never been approved by him or his publicist.
That story about Barcelona was mentioned by Ghesquiére who met them there. We don't know if these bits came up when her publicist contacted the journalist/when the journalist contacted her or if they came up in their conversations. For example,I remember that she was promoting TMFU and a journalist called her while she was in Costa Rica. The journalist obviously mentioned that she was there but she didn't say that she was on vacation with him and Alicia didn't say anything,of course. The fact that he was with her was confirmed by a twitter sighting at the airport that only those who follow this kind of stuff may possibly know. It's possible that the journalist assumed that she was skyping from his house when she said that she was in Sydney. It's more likely that it came up while she was talking with him. And I don't see any problem with it (I know that you're not criticizing her). We usually read a small portion of what is the real conversation with a journalist. It's possible that Alicia mentioned her trip in Norway (even without mentioning him) when she spent several hours with the Vogue UK journalist. As I've already said,it's not really a problem. Outside of his fandom,no one really cares.. The fact that they're dating is not some kind of new info and journalists are going to mention it in any case.
This. This last interview doesn't contain anything new. I don't understand why it's suddenly a problem for some people. The romantic spin was obviously put by the journalist because it's how they work. And while it's true that the reporter is working the romantic angle,it's also true that the part about TLBO is more about their partnership on set than their relationship. There's also a long part about her career that some people should read..
If a NYT writer says that Vikander ignored her questions,I believe it. If another journalist remarks that she doesn't want to talk about her private life,I believe it. If he/she wants to add stuff that can easily be found googling them,I don't see how Vikander or her team can control it,as mollie has explained. In his Elle profile,it was mentioned that they were dating even if he didn't talk about his personal life. Was Fassbender name-dropping Vikander? Honestly,I think that some people really believe that her publicist calls journalists asking things like "I want three,four Fassbender mentions.. "
Pete Hammond explicitly said that they were at the same table and Vikander told that story talking with him /other people. But apparently,she's not free to talk about whatever she wants,even when she's dining..
And why it's always "Vikander and her people".. I'm pretty sure that Michael and his publicist are perfectly fine with this "romantic spin"..
