ACTOR: CHARLIE HUNNAM
Given the fickle nature of the film business, it is almost impossible to predict an actor's fortunes, but with Charlie Hunnam you are on fairly safe ground if you say he's headed for stardom.
Hunnam posseses the all-important Brad Pitt-like looks to get him through the door, but more importantly, the 22 year-old from Tynseside can definitely act. Everyone knows him as gay schoolboy Nathan from Channel 4's Queer As Folk, but very few recognised him as the albino thug in Minghella's Cold Mountain.
Hunnam trained hard for three months in gymnastics, shooting and riding for the part, but instead of resorting to theatrics, he was able to project a chilling menace with minimal looks and gestures - the mark of a real screen star.
Also on the acting front look out for Evening Standard award-winner Tom Hardy, who appeared in Star Trek and Band of Brothers and is to play Christopher Marlowe in new film The Reckoning, and Sophie Myles, who will soon be seen as Lady Penelope in Thunderbirds.
