Every famous person should feel obligated to star in a 1970s piece so we know what they would look like with a hairstyle they wouldn’t wear in real life in a million years. Featuring the upcoming Apple TV Plus miniseries The crowded room, Tom Holland has now fulfilled his duty. Tom, thank you for your service.
The crowded room stars Holland as Danny Sullivan, who is arrested for a shooting in New York City in 1979. Framed by his interrogation (led by Mama Mia! And The dropout‘s Amanda Seyfried), the series unravels Danny’s mysterious past and illuminates what really happened in gruesome true-life fashion. The crowded room is not quite the Netherlands embracing the Netflix Hot Serial Killer trend, but it comes close. I mean, look at that haircut.
What’s really going on with Danny? The trailer keeps the suspenseful plot details hidden through the mood, but if you Real want to know, the credits speak volumes. The crowded room is loosely based on the 1981 non-fiction book The thoughts of Billy Milliganand as the trailer hammers home is written by Akiva Goldsman, who won an Oscar for A beautiful mind. Hey? No spoilers.
The crowded room represents a true test of Holland’s stardom. Coming from the mega success of Spider-Man: No Way Home and the rigid flex of making Not charted in an affordable movie franchise, the 26-year-old actor rides high. But is he one of the great actors of his generation? The word is still not there; Cherryhis new team in 2021 with Avengers: endgame directors Anthony and Joe Russo was a three-hour bust for Apple, even as Holland stretched in all dramatic directions. The crowded room should give him a lot to chew on, and with great scene partners – along with Seyfried, the series costars Emmy Rossum, Sasha Lane, Will Chase, Lior Raz, Jason Isaacs, and Christopher Abbott. But it can also be so heck! History suggests that this kind of wig swings acting in all directions. May the hair serve him well.
The crowded roomThe first three episodes will premiere on June 9, with new episodes premiering every Friday.
