Ex-Bond girl Rosamund Pike is in the running to play Emma Frost in X-Men: First Class, according to Forces Of Geek. The British actress, whose credits include Pride & Prejudice and An Education, “has tested and very possibly [been] cast” in Matthew Vaughn’s prequel to the X-Men series. Pike was recently spotted at X-Men casting director Lucinda Syson’s office with an Emma Frost comic book. The character first appeared in an issue of Marvel’s Uncanny X-Men in 1980 and is a mutant telepath known for her revealing white outfit. Tahyna Tozzi appeared as Frost in last year’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine. James McAvoy is confirmed to star in X-Men: First Class as a young Charles Xavier, while Michael Fassbender, Aaron Johnson and Frank Dillane have been rumoured for the superhero project. from…digitalspy.co.uk

Rosamund Pike Sets Hedda Dates Pre-West End

As previously tipped, Rosamund Pike will take the title role in Henrik Ibsen’s 1890 classic Hedda Gabler, which start performances on 23 February 2010 at the Theatre Royal Bath prior to a short regional tour and West End transfer.

The new Theatre Royal Bath production, directed by former Royal Shakespeare Company artistic director Adrian Noble and co-starring Tim McInnerny, runs at Bath until 6 March and then visits Brighton (8-13 March), Richmond (15-20 March), Nottingham (22-27 March) and Oxford (29 March-4 April). Dates and venue for the West End transfer have not yet been confirmed.

HeddaGabler_RPike_feb10 Hedda Gabler was last seen in the West End in a 2005 revival, directed by former National Theatre artistic director Richard Eyre and starring Eve Best, which went on to win four Laurence Olivier Awards, including Best Actress, Best Director and Best Revival (See News, 26 Feb 2006).

Set in the Norwegian home of newlyweds George and Hedda Tesman near the turn of the 20th century, Hedda Gabler reveals a passionate woman struggling in a bourgeois world that she finds devoid of excitement. Returning from her honeymoon and already bored with her marriage, Hedda becomes herself caught between the brilliant but dissolute Eilert Loevborg and the clutches of the predatory Judge Brack as a shocking path of destruction unfolds.

Pike’s previous West End credits are Hitchcock Blonde, Summer and Smoke (also directed by Noble), Gaslight and, most recently, Madame de Sade, opposite Judi Dench as part of last year’s Donmar West End season at Wyndham’s Theatre. She’s become internationally famous for her films such as Pride and Prejudice, Die Another Day, The Libertine, Fracture and An Education.

Tim McInnerny is best known for playing Lord Percy and Captain Darling in the Blackadder series. His other screen credits include: on television, Spooks, In the Line of Beauty, Hustle and Inspector George Gently; and on film, 101 and 102 Dalmatians, Notting Hill and Rogue Trader. Most recently on stage, he played Iago in Othello at Shakespeare’s Globe in 2007.

Post RSC, Adrian Noble’s credits have included Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Kean, A Woman of No Importance and Summer and Smoke. Hedda Gabler is designed by Anthony Ward.

Rosamund Pike on being a Bond girl and dissecting a corpse with a hangover	Nov 01 2009
3 Comments \| Posted by admin \| Post Categories: media
The Die Another Day actress has always felt like an alien, worships scientists, doesn’t mind appearing nude and has a tendency to attract oddballs. As the poster girl for demure Englishness, Rosamund Pike has a reputation for haughty aloofness. It was while studying English Literature at Oxford that she began acting, in the BBC’s A Rather English Marriage and Wives & Daughters.In 2002, she landed the role of fencing champion Miranda Frost in Bond film Die Another Day. But instead of remaining on the big screen, she returned to the London stage where she bared all in Terry Johnson’s Hitchcock Blonde. She has appeared with Johnny Depp in The Libertine, Keira Knightley in Pride and Prejudice, and demonic Martians in Doom. In An Education, out this month, based on Lynn Barber’s memoir, she demonstrates her comic talents as a Sixties swinger. Now 30, Pike is currently single and lives in London. ‘I’ve always felt like a bit of an alien, as though I was beamed down from a planet outside of our galaxy. As a child I’d spend most of my time in an imaginary world where I’d gallop around on imaginary horses. To this day, I feel like a complete oddity. When I’m engaged in normal human interaction I always feel as though I’m about to be found out. *Never dissect a corpse when you’ve got a hangover.* When researching for Doom, I spent a few days at a morgue in Prague. On the third day I was presented with my own cadaver and had to open it up. I had the world’s worst hangover and the doctor who was assisting me was called away, so I was left alone with this male corpse on a slab. I called him George. *My biggest regret in life is that I didn’t do science A-levels.* I didn’t realise that science makes our brains work in more interesting ways. I used to worship actors and now I am one, I worship scientists. I’ve always had the feeling that I was born too late and missed out on the best fun. I’d love to have been a teenager in the early Sixties, when An Education is set, just when The Beatles were about to arrive. I’d also like to have been 16 when the rave generation started in the late Eighties. I felt completely out of my depth doing Die Another Day. I was quaking in my boots on that set. Looking back, I’m incredibly proud to have been a Bond girl. But I think it made other people scared of me. Unwittingly I created this image for myself of someone who was supremely confident and completely unapproachable, even quite unpleasant. But that was the character, not me. … read more »

Interview: Actress Rosamund Pike	Oct 10 2009
4 Comments \| Posted by admin \| Post Categories: media
IF YOU type Rosamund Pike into Google, one of the first things that pops up is an intriguing picture re-imagining the actress as a puppet. Complete with plastic arms, metal joints and a frozen expression, it looks more like a robot, a female Terminator, than a friendly Pinocchio. Further exploration reveals it is from a website that asked browsers with Photoshop skills to send in their celebrity puppets. Why, I couldn’t tell you ? but Pen?lope Cruz, Christina Aguilera and Uma Thurman all get the same treatment. Still, there’s something quite eerie about Pike’s shot. Perhaps because it tallies with the ice-cold image we have of her, one that is as fixed as the look on her puppet-double’s face. If anyone is to blame, it might just be James Bond. In 2002, when she was barely known to the public, Pike landed the plum role opposite Pierce Brosnan of the villainous Olympic fencing gold medallist Miranda Frost in Die Another Day. She freely admits, “I have Bond to thank for my whole career.” Indeed, compared to some Bond girls, who disappear back to the modelling career or life of sunbathing in St Tropez from whence they came, Pike used it as a launch pad. Hollywood films such as Fracture and Doom followed, as did well-received period pieces such as Pride and Prejudice and The Libertine. But doing Bond came with a price. She recalls carrying out research for the Canadian film Fugitive Pieces, where a producer took her during the Festival of Purim to the home of an ultra-orthodox Jewish family. “It was the chief rabbi’s house, where these children are not even supposed to watch films,” she says. “It was all going very well until suddenly somebody found out I was in a Bond film. Then the whole dynamic of these young boys… it all went wrong. It was awful. “They don’t watch television, but even James Bond as a word permeates the consciousness. They can’t go to films. They can’t watch anything. It was just at the very end and you saw these glimmers … this horrible clash of modern culture. And the boys, you could see this pull.” … read more »

Rosamund Pike knows how to handle these duelling pistols! Ms Pike was put through her firearm paces when she was shooting the Bond film Die Another Day a few years ago. Here, she is wielding a pair of 19th-century La Page silver-barrelled percussion duelling pistols to promote a production of Hedda Gabler, whom she will play for director Adrian Noble at the Theatre Royal, Bath, for two weeks from February 22.

Before that, she will be seen in a gem of a featured role in Lone Scherfig’s An Education – one of the year’s best films – which stars Carey Mulligan, Peter Sarsgaard, Alfred Molina, Olivia Williams and Dominic Cooper.

An Education is having a MasterCard gala at the LFF on October 20.
