At this yearâs Toronto Film Festival, I was able to sit down with Tom Hiddleston for an exclusive interview about writer-director Terence Daviesâ The Deep Blue Sea. Starring Rachel Weisz, Simon Russell Beale and Hilldeston, the film is set in post-war Britain and itâs about the wife of a high court judge who walks out on her marriage and moves in with a young ex-RAF pilot (Hiddleston), with whom she has fallen passionately in love. The film is an  adaptation of Terence Rattiganâs classic play.During my extended interview with Hiddleston (who is great in Deep Blue Sea), we talked about how he got involved in The Deep Blue Sea, what kind of preparation he does and was it more involved than his other films because itâs based on a play, does he prefer a few takes or a lot, how faithful did they have to be to the script, and filming a nude scene. In addition, we talked about Steven Spielberg's War Horse, Thor 2, Joss Whedon's Avengers, karaoke, video games, and has he ever thought about wearing the Loki costume off-set. Hit the jump to watch.Finally, Music Box has picked up the U.S. rights to The Deep Blue Sea, but they haven't announced a release date. However, if you're in the UK, the film will be in theaters November 25th. And one last thing, a huge thank you to Hiddleston for giving me so much time at TIFF.Tom Hiddleston Time Index
