Rosamund Pike is best known for her villainous role as
Miranda Frost in "
Die Another Day" opposite
Pierce Brosnan as
James Bond. For us
P&P fans, we know her best as
Jane Bennet, eldest sister to
Keira Knightley's
Elizabeth Bennet in "
Pride & Prejudice." Miss
Pike has also appeared in other films such as "
Surrogates," "
Doom" and "
Fracture."
In "
X-Men Origins: Wolverine,"
Emma Frost (aka the
White Queen, who's a mutant telepath with a dry wit) was portrayed by
Tahyna Tozzi near the end of the film, as she and several other mutant prisoners are spirited away to safety by Professor Xavier (Patrick Stewart). However, since
Atonement's
James McAvoy is taking over the part of Xavier, it's not unreasonable to expect that Emma Frost will be recast as well. Also, apparently,
Rosamund is a fan favorite for the role and looks the part. So, we'll see what happens on this one.
X-Men: First Class is aiming for a June 3rd, 2011 release.What are your thoughts on
Rosamund Pike potentially appearing as
Emma Frost?
Yay or Nay?Hmm, I'd say,
Yay! I think this will be an interesting role for
Rosamund. She's a pretty good actress who could play either a good or bad girl role. I wonder if
Emma is related to
Miranda, lol.
Next,
Rosamund's
P&P co-stars and
Bennet sisters Carey Mulligan and
Keira Knightley are also both
rumored to be cast or vying for the lead role in the much-hyped
The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and
My Fair Lady (though still in development,
Keira has opted out on her interest on this one as it was taking so long for it to go into casting and production...and
Keira has a lot of
film projects that she's either filming or preparing to film right now to be worrying about this one, lol...she was also rumored to be in talks for a leading female role in new
Captain America, but that one was just a rumor as her
The Duchess co-star
Hayley Atwell, who's also
Matthew Macfadyen's co-star in both
The Pillars of the Earth and
Any Human Heart has
officially been cast for the
Peggy Carter role)
have all yet to be confirmed. We do know that
Keira and
Carey (pictured to your left on set of
Never Let Me Go) are both starring together in the upcoming
Mark Romanek directed thriller,
Never Let Me Go, which is set for a
limited release on
October 1st!Btw, speaking of
Carey and
casting rumors...she is, again,
rumored to be cast in
Sam Mendes’ new project
On Chesil Beach. Sounds like this one is based on
Ian McEwan's same title novel,
On Chesil Beach.
McEwan wrote the best-selling novel
Atonement that was adapted to the big screen starring
Keira Knightley and
James McAvoy.
Atonement won a
Golden Globe Award for
Best Picture and was
nominated for
6 Oscars.
What do you think of all these recent
casting rumors for
Carey,
Keira, or
Rosamund?
