Stephen will soon film his next Television role. He’ll play Sam in The Ladies’ Paradise, an eight-part BBC TV drama loosely based on Emile Zola’s novel Au Bonheur des Dames. His Threesome co-star Emun Elliott will also star in the show. Check out Stephen’s Spotlight CV for more info. Filming starts in Newcastle next month :)
Yay for Threesome reunion! All we need now is to get Amy Huberman to try on some victorian clothing.
Some more photos I found of Stephen, Emun and Amy at Comedy Central’s Threesome Premiere :)
“You read the script and it says this scene takes place on a spaceship, you think maybe they’ve built a corner of it or are going to create it with CGI, but Ridley had basically built a spaceship. And he does that to create the right vibe for his cast. For a guy who’s been in the game so long he’s extremely generous when it comes to helping his actors out. Still, everyone felt equally nervous on that first day because it pretty much looked exactly like the spaceship in Alien.
“You felt like you were walking onto the set and stepping into the shoes of these incredible actors who were part of that incredible film,” Emun enthuses. “But that pressure dissipated within seconds of the first take because of the atmosphere that Ridley created. We knew we were in capable hands, and there was a terrific group of actors on board too. I think Ridley is more excited than anyone about this film, which is definitely a good sign.”
Which of the Prometheus cast did you get to work with?
“I worked with most of them, but primarily Idris Elba, Michael Fassbender and Benedict Wong. Benedict and I play the pilots of the ship and Idris plays the captain, so we work in this sort of threesome. It was really straightforward; we had a brilliant script so it was just a case of doing justice to that.
“[Director Ridley Scott] kinda gave us free reign to do whatever we wanted to do and gave us nudges here and there. Idris is not only one of the sexiest men I’ve ever encountered but also one of the coolest. I learnt an awful lot working with him.”
In his latest interview with CultBox Emun Elliott mentioned working on new project. It’s BBC One drama called The Ladies’ Paradise.
What have you got coming up next?
“I’ve actually just landed a job which I really wanted; it’s a BBC One drama called The Ladies’ Paradise. It’s based on the novel by Emile Zola which takes place in late 19th century Paris, only this time it’s set in industrial England. It’s about a ladies’ department store, the first of its kind, and it’s about the inner workings of that and the corruption that goes on.
“Also there’s this romantic love story and it’s a beautiful piece of writing. I play the owner of the store. It’s an eight-part series and I think the BBC are throwing quite a lot into it, hopefully it’ll go on for a wee while.

Hopes are high that the film could be as big a hit as the 1996 movie that sent the careers of Robert Carlyle and Ewan McGregor into hyperdrive. Yet Emun revealed all talk of it was BANNED on set.
The 28-year-old said: “It became like working in the theatre, where all mention of Shakespeare’s Macbeth is banned for superstitious reasons.
“So Trainspotting was an unspoken. Of course everyone is aware of it, especially the similarities between the two films – set in Edinburgh, dealing with similar themes – but it’s a completely different story, and I think we all wanted to keep the two things as two very different beasts.”
