Carey Mulligan, Anne Hathaway, and Gemma Arterton featured on People Magazine's 'Most Beautiful People 2011' List

Posted by Le on Thursday, April 14, 2011


P&P/Austen actors' Carey Mulligan (Pride & Prejudice 2005), Anne Hathaway (Becoming Jane), and Gemma Arterton (Lost In Austen) all made the People Magazine's Most Beautiful 2011 list, but not exactly in that Most Beautiful list, but in other categories of the Beautiful list. Confused?

See a SNEAK PEEK: PEOPLE's Most Beautiful 2011...

To see who else made People's Most Beautiful list, pick up this week's issue, on newsstands Friday!

Also, here are the following list of categories in which three of our beautiful Austen actors were picked...

25 Beauties (and Hotties) at 25

CAREY MULLIGAN

Though the twinkle-eyed English actress may famously be known as Shia LaBeouf's ex (they met on the set of Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps), Mulligan is poised to become a household name as the unattainable object of Leonardo DiCaprio's affection in Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby, a role for which she reportedly beat out Scarlett Johansson, Keira Knightley and Michelle Williams.

GEMMA ARTERTON

Is it possible to be bold and beautiful? Look no further than Arterton, the English actress who held her own opposite Jake Gyllenhaal in Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. "She is a woman who says what's on her mind – a very attractive quality both on- and offscreen," Gyllenhaal gushed to PEOPLE of his costar. "Our chemistry [was] as hot as the Moroccan desert."

Beautiful at Every Age

ANNE HATHAWAY, 28
Over the years, the actress has gamely transformed herself for roles: an ugly duckling turned elegant royal in The Princess Diaries, a determined fashionista in The Devil Wears Prada and a recovering drug addict in Rachel Getting Married (which earned her an Oscar nod). But don't expect this New York native to fret about her features. "You have to work with what you've got," Hathaway told InStyle. "Don't judge what you have, just love it."

Hollywood's Stunning Doubles

ANNE AS JUDY

With her big eyes, full lips and brunette waves, Anne Hathaway has drawn comparisons to Hollywood's Golden Era star Judy Garland. Even more uncanny, the 28-year-old can hold a tune with the best of them – check out her amazing rendition of Les Misérables' "On My Own" at this year's Oscars! No wonder Hathaway, who gamely spoofed The Wizard of Oz on Saturday Night Live in January, has been tapped to play Garland in an upcoming biopic of the star's troubled life.

Plus...

My Beautiful Other Half

LIVIA GIUGGIOLI (Colin Firth's wife)

Giuggioli is "far too beautiful," Firth's English Patient costar Kristin Scott Thomas once said of the Italian beauty who captured Colin Firth's heart in 1996. In 2011, the captivating mother of two elegantly shared the spotlight with her actor-husband during his road to Oscar victory. So it was fitting that The King's Speech Best Actor winner gave an acceptance speech dedicated to Giuggioli, telling the world, "I hold responsible for this and for really everything that's good that's happened since I met her."

By the way, while it's nice that our Carey Mulligan made the Beautiful list, but I think her P&P co-stars: Keira Knightley, Matthew Macfadyen, Rosamund Pike, Jena Malone, Talulah Riley, Simon Woods, Kelly Reilly, and Rupert Friend should've been on that list (esp. MM and RP) too, do not you agree? They are beautiful too (if not even more so than those other celebs that made their annual list)...just sayin...

Casting News: Rosamund Pike confirmed to play Andromeda in 'Clash of the Titans 2' film

Posted by Le on Wednesday, March 23, 2011

As previously posted here early last month, Rosamund Pike was in talks to play Andromeda in 'Wrath Of The Titans'. Now, Variety reports that Warner Bros. has just released a press release (with detailed plot/synopsis revealed via Coming Soon) that Rosamund Pike is officially confirmed in the cast of the sequel to Clash of the Titans (no official title as of yet for the sequel, 'Wrath of the Titans was a rumored title for now...) film with returning cast Sam Worthington as Perseus, Danny Huston as Poseidon, Ralph Fiennes as Hades and Liam Neeson as Zeus. One cast member (from the original cast) not returning in the sequel is Gemma Arterton (who is currently filming “Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters”), who played Io in the first film was not listed in the cast list of the press release.

Rosamund is playing Queen Andromeda, replacing Alexa Davalos, who played the Greek character in last year's "Clash of the Titans."  Joining RP in the new cast additions for Clash of the Titans 2 are: Bill Nighly as Hephaestus, Toby Kebbell Argenor, and Edgar Ramirez as Ares.

Also, principal photography has begun on Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures' epic action adventure sequel to “Clash of the Titans,” being directed by Jonathan Liebesman (“Battle: Los Angeles”).

Here are the article via Variety and a full press release (including a detailed synopsis) via Coming Soon:

'Titans' sequel adds to cast
Rosamund Pike, Bill Nighy, Toby Kebbell join pic

LONDON -- Brit thesps Rosamund Pike, Bill Nighy and Toby Kebbell have been confirmed to join the cast of Warner Bros.' "Clash of the Titans" sequel.

Pike is playing Queen Andromeda, replacing Alexa Davalos, who played the Greek character in last year's "Clash of the Titans." Variety reported that Pike was in talks for the part Feb. 8.

Kebbell, meanwhile, is set to play Poseidon's demigod son, Argenor, while Nighy will play the fallen god Hephaestus.

The sequel, which is being helmed by "Battle: Los Angeles" director Jonathan Liebesman, will see Sam Worthington reprise his role as Perseus alongside Ralph Fiennes as Hades and Liam Neeson as Zeus. Edgar Ramirez and Danny Huston also topline the pic.

Dan Mazeau, David Leslie Johnson and Steven Knight penned the script while Basil Iwanyk and Polly Cohen Johnsen produce.

Lensing is taking place at Shepperton Studios and on location in Surrey, South Wales and on the Spanish island of Tenerife.

Production Underway for Clash of the Titans 2

Principal photography has begun on Warner Bros. Pictures' and Legendary Pictures' epic action adventure sequel to "Clash of the Titans," being directed by Jonathan Liebesman ("Battle: Los Angeles"). Returning to star in the film are Sam Worthington ("Avatar") as Perseus, and Academy Award® nominees Ralph Fiennes ("The English Patient," the "Harry Potter" films) as Hades and Liam Neeson ("Schindler's List," "Unknown") as Zeus.

A decade after his heroic defeat of the monstrous Kraken, Perseus—the demigod son of Zeus—is attempting to live a quieter life as a village fisherman and the sole parent to his 10-year old son, Helius.

Meanwhile, a struggle for supremacy rages between the gods and the Titans. Dangerously weakened by humanity's lack of devotion, the gods are losing control of the imprisoned Titans and their ferocious leader, Kronos, father of the long-ruling brothers Zeus, Hades and Poseidon. The triumvirate had overthrown their powerful father long ago, leaving him to rot in the gloomy abyss of Tartarus, a dungeon that lies deep within the cavernous underworld.

Perseus cannot ignore his true calling when Hades, along with Zeus' godly son, Ares (Edgar Ramírez), switch loyalty and make a deal with Kronos to capture Zeus. The Titans' strength grows stronger as Zeus' remaining godly powers are siphoned, and hell is unleashed on earth.

Enlisting the help of the warrior Queen Andromeda (Rosamund Pike), Poseidon's demigod son, Argenor (Toby Kebbell), and fallen god Hephaestus (Bill Nighy), Perseus bravely embarks on a treacherous quest into the underworld to rescue Zeus, overthrow the Titans and save mankind.


Jonathan Liebesman directs the film from a screenplay by Dan Mazeau & David Leslie Johnson and Steven Knight, story Greg Berlanti & David Leslie Johnson & Dan Mazeau, based on the 2010 hit "Clash of the Titans" and the 1981 film of the same name, written by the late Beverley Cross.

The film is produced by Basil Iwanyk ("The Town"), who also produced the previous "Clash of the Titans," and Polly Cohen Johnsen ("Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore"). The executive producers are Thomas Tull, Jon Jashni, William Fay, Callum McDougall, Kevin De La Noy and Louis Leterrier.

Joining Worthington, Fiennes and Neeson in the international cast are Danny Huston ("Robin Hood"), reprising his role as Poseidon, god of the sea; Edgar Ramírez ("The Bourne Ultimatum," TV miniseries "Carlos") as the traitorous god of war, Ares; Bill Nighy ("Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1") as Hephaestus, whose twisted, lame figure belies his Olympian origins; Toby Kebbell ("Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time") as Agenor, imprisoned thief and son of Poseidon who joins Perseus on his journey to Tartarus; and Rosamund Pike ("Barney's Version") as Andromeda, the princess whose life Perseus once saved, and who now, as a queen, follows Perseus into battle.

The behind-the-scenes team bringing this mythical epic to life includes director of photography Ben Davis ("The Rite," "Kick Ass"); production designer Charles Wood ("The Italian Job," "The A-Team"); Academy Award®-winning editor Martin Walsh ("Chicago," "V for Vendetta"); and costume designer Jany Temime (the "Harry Potter" films). "Clash of the Titans 2" also reunites several talents from the previous film, including Oscar®-nominated visual effects supervisor Nick Davis ("The Dark Knight,"); Oscar®-nominated prosthetics supervisor Conor O'Sullivan ("The Dark Knight," "Saving Private Ryan"); and Academy Award®-winning special effects and animatronics supervisor Neil Corbould ("Gladiator"). Also on board are Oscar®-nominated makeup designer Paul Engelen ("Frankenstein," "Robin Hood") and hair designer Kevin Alexander ("Robin Hood," "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian").

"Clash of the Titans 2" will be filming in studios outside London and will later shoot on location in Surrey, South Wales and in the Spanish Canary Islands on the island of Tenerife. The film is currently scheduled for release in March 2012.
A Warner Bros. Pictures presentation, in association with Legendary Pictures, a Thunder Road Film, "Clash of the Titans 2" is being co-produced by Furia de Titanes II, A.I.E. and COTT Productions and will be distributed in 3D and 2D worldwide by Warner Bros. Entertainment Companies.

Casting News: Rosamund Pike in talks to play Andromeda in 'Wrath Of The Titans'

Posted by Le on Tuesday, February 8, 2011

Deadline reports that Rosamund Pike (Photo by Ian Gavan/Getty Images Europe) is currently in talks and close to finalizing a deal to play Andromeda in the Jonathan Liebesman directed film "Wrath of the Titans" (and is said to be shot in 3D, according to Variety), taking over for Alexa Davalos who played the part in Louis Leterrier‘s “Clash Of The Titans.” If Miss Pike is officially cast as Andromeda, she joins the rest of an interesting cast that currently include Sam Worthington, Gemma Arterton, Edgar Ramirez, Toby Kebbell, Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes.
Warner Bros and Legendary Pictures is near a deal with Barney's Version star Rosamund Pike to play the role of Andromeda in the Clash of the Titans sequel. Pike has been on the radar since the 2002 James Bond film Die Another Day and has done a succession of indie films. Pike had been mentioned in speculative stories about who might get the lead in Zack Snyder-directed Superman films opposite Henry Cavill. Scratch her off the list, she'll be busy in this Warner Bros film instead, which stars Sam Worthington and will be directed by Battle: Los Angeles helmer Jonathan Liebesman.  Andromeda (played by Alexa Davalos in the original, who was unavailable for the sequel) is a major role and had the likes of Gwyneth Paltrow mentioned as possibles. She's repped by UTA, Magnolia and United Agents.
Production is underway and should start soon as it's scheduled for a March 30, 2012 release date!


Also, according to The Playlist, Last month, it was reported that a number of actresses were screen-testing for the love interest role of Andromeda in the “Clash Of The Titans” sequel. Among the contenders listed at the time were “Captain America” star Hayley Atwell, Clemence Poesy (”In Bruges”), Janet Montgomery (”Black Swan”), Georgina Haig (”Wasted on the Young”) and Dominique McElligott (”Moon”) but a name recently linked as a candidate for a role in Zack Snyder‘s “Superman” has landed the gig instead.   

So, it appears that RP didn't get the role in the new Superman movie as I previously posted here last Friday that Rosamund Pike was in the shortlist for a female lead role in new 'Superman' film. But then, there was this UK's The Telegraph article:

Rosamund Pike: 'Girly men freeze women out of Hollywood'

Rosamund Pike, the former Bond girl, complains that she was recently turned down for a leading role because she was not flirtatious enough. 

“I auditioned for a job recently, and didn’t get it,” says the actress, speaking at the launch of the Birds Eye View Film Festival. “Word came back that they were looking for 'a flirty piece of ass’.

“Now, I do not want, and have never wanted, to be a flirty piece of ass, but when told I was not one, I found myself quite offended. I was thrust right back on the most primeval battlefield, the loser at the mating game.

“The point that sex appeal is not the level at which I want to compete was lost on me, momentarily.”
Now, I wonder which of these two films (both with female lead parts) she was talking about from that above article...guess, we'll eventually find out soon when this one is officially confirmed and the rest of the Superman casting is officially announced as well.

Colin Firth and 'The King's Speech' leads with 14 Bafta Nominations!!!

Posted by Le on Tuesday, January 18, 2011

Colin Firth, who just won a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Motion Picture for his award winning film, The King's Speech this past Sunday (January 16th) gets another nomination for Leading Actor (which he won last year for A Single Man) and a total of 14 nominations for TKS (including Best Film, Director, and Actor) at the 2011 BAFTA, which was announced by P&P's Talulah Riley and Dominic Cooper this morning.

While Rosamund Pike and Carey Mulligan made the BAFTA Longlist, neither one made it to the shortlist of the final BAFTA nominations (and it seems Miss Pike Disappointed By Bafta Choices). Rosamund Pike's Made In Dagenham co-star Miranda Richardson and the film scored 4 nominations though. Talulah Riley's Inception film garnered 9 nominations. Meanwhile Lost In Austen's Gemma Arterton is nominated for Orange Wednesdays Rising Award. Read this article from BBC News about Baftas 2011: surprises and sure things, it mentioned Carey Mulligan's exclusion in the nomination as well as Sally Hawkins. Interesting no mention of RP, Paul Giamatti (who just won a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Comedy/Musical this past Sunday), and Barney's Version's snubbed after lots of mentions in the longlist...

Watch Dominic Cooper and Talulah Riley announce the nominations for the 2011 Orange British Academy Film Awards.
The nominations announcement was held at BAFTA's headquarters in Piccadilly. The introduction was made by Academy Chairman Tim Corrie and the nominees were announced by actor Dominic Cooper and actress Talulah Riley.
Updated 2/1/10
Here's another video of Talulah Riley and Dominic Cooper being interviewed by BBC News... Talulah Riley: 'Colin Firth is a national treasure.' (Thanks to Charleybrown for the video link)

Rosamund Pike, Carey Mulligan, and Colin Firth made the BAFTA longlist

Posted by Le on Saturday, January 8, 2011

The British Academy Film Awards (BAFTA) just announced their LONGLIST of possible nominees for the 2011 BAFTA and the shortlist and final nominations will be announced on January 18th.

BAFTA will take place on Sunday 13 February 2011.

Our P&P actors: Rosamund Pike, Carey Mulligan, and Colin Firth made the BAFTA Longlist along with their films such as RP's Barney's Version and Made In Dagenham, CM's Never Let Me Go, and CF's The King's Speech. As usual, BAFTA snubbed Keira Knightley once again for her wonderful role in Never Let Me Go, like they snubbed her previously in Pirates/P&P/The Duchess films...and yet Gemma Arterton (no pun intended) made the BAFTA longlist for her two films less popular or well-known than her Prince of Persia (which I loved and enjoyed) and Keira's NLMG films combine. Not too mention, her  NLMG co-stars Carey and Andrew Garfield made the longlist each, but no Keira (not even in her best Oscar/Golden Globe nominated role in P&P gets her any nomination or recognition in her own country's big award show)...Interesting BAFTA! What's up with the frequent snub on KK? They must not like her...but even in her best performances (Elizabeth Bennet in Pride & Prejudice and Georgiana in The Duchess) she still get snubbed...how odd! Her acting has been solid and great since P&P movie...

An interesting old Joe Wright interview relating to BAFTA snub of KK during P&P era...
Wright caused a stir last year by berating Bafta’s British voters, who denied Knightley a best-actress nomination for playing Elizabeth Bennet. As voters for the Oscars and Golden Globes saw fit to nominate her, the snub seemed doubly harsh, and may have owed something to her celebrity and prominence in gossip magazines. But, after Atonement, it’s unlikely she will need Wright to spring to her defence again.

“It isn’t her fault,” Wright protests. “I know some actors court the media, and Keira doesn’t. She’s incredibly beautiful, so she gets to be the face of Chanel, and that’s great for a few bob, so good luck to her. But when she’s making a film, that’s all she cares about.”
- Joe Wright interview with David Gritten of The Telegraph (August 2007).

Anyway, here are the BAFTA longlist featuring Rosamund Pike, Carey Mulligan, Colin Firth, Sally Hawkins, Gemma Arterton and their films and co-stars...Best of luck to them all (though I'm sure CF and The King's Speech will obviously get lots of nominations for sure)!
