Taron Egerton on Landing His First Film Role in 'Kingsman: The Secret Service'!

The cloak has staying power. The Academy's short with costume designer Tom Rand is drawing the most daily views of its videos right now, exploring how Meryl Streep's hooded costume helped make her character in The French Lieutenant's Woman mysterious. It's a small, concrete reminder that a performance begins telling its story before anyone speaks.

Taron Egerton supplied the week's most watched new upload, with nearly 9,000 views for his reflection on landing Kingsman: The Secret Service. He discusses why Eggsy's transformation makes the story satisfying. Matthew Vaughn's spy film pairs Egerton's rough-edged recruit with Colin Firth's impeccably dressed mentor, making that change of identity central to its appeal. Egerton's clip had the larger opening audience, though Rand's costume story is currently gathering views faster.

The third upload turns from performers to the materials that preserve their work: an introduction to accessing the Margaret Herrick Library's motion-picture research collections. Across the channel, the week brought about 418,000 views and a modest subscriber gain, leaving The Academy close to the 200,000-subscriber mark.

Its weekly viewing audience was smaller than those of nearby film channels LionsgateFilmsUK and Bleecker Street, whose subscriber totals stayed unchanged. The Academy's own shelf also has an older conversation in circulation: its Horror Show exhibition video, featuring Guillermo del Toro, Ruth E. Carter, Ethan Hawke and other filmmakers considering why horror matters. Between a hooded cloak and the craft of frightening people, this was a week interested in how movies create a feeling.
