Gemma Arterton: 'Our house was a bit Ab Fab at times'
11 May 2013 4:06 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
The English actress on going clubbing with her mum, her new role in a 'neo-feminist vampire movie' and why she has no regrets about playing Bond girl Strawberry Fields
The first time we see Gemma Arterton in her new film, Byzantium, she is biting off the nose of a lecherous punter in a lap-dancing club. Soon after, dressed in a stripper's outfit and running shoes, she shows a good turn of speed for a 200-year-old soucouyant and then garottes another man with cheese wire. Byzantium is a vampire film, but we already know it's altogether darker, sexier and more gleeful than some recent incarnations of the genre. At the heart of the action are Clara (Arterton) and her daughter, Eleanor (Saoirse Ronan), and their battle against an all-male cabal that wants to hunt them down.
The 27-year-old Arterton has always been drawn to the weird and eclectic – the film that »

Anna Kendrick and Gemma Arterton Board ‘The Voices’
23 April 2013 5:02 AM, PDT | LatinoReview | See recent LatinoReview news »
Marjane Satrapi’s The Voices just got a bit more interesting. Anna Kendrick and Gemma Arterton have been added to the cast. They’ll star alongside Ryan Reynolds, who was cast to play the lead role in the film last fall.
Voices, which is being described as a psychological thriller with some elements of comedy involved, tells the story of a bathtub factory worker named Jerry Hickfang, who accidentally kills the woman he’s dating and works with. Shortly after the murder, he begins to take advice from his evil, vulgar cat and kindhearted dog, who tell him how to cover his tracks and avoid trouble with the law. This eventually becomes some kind of salvation for him.
The script was written by Michael R. Perry (Paranormal Activity), and appeared on the Black List back in 2009. At one point, Ben Stiller was rumored to star in the film. Back then, »

Anna Kendrick and Gemma Arterton join Ryan Reynolds for Psychological Thriller, The Voices
23 April 2013 2:15 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
With Ryan Reynolds leading the way, the cast for psychological thriller The Voices has just got even more awesome.
Filming is about to get underway in Berlin, and Deadline report that Anna Kendrick and Gemma Arterton have boarded the project alongside Reynolds.
Reynolds plays a lovable but strange bathtub factory worker who yearns for the attention of a woman in accounting. When their relationship takes a sudden murderous turn, Jerry’s evil “talking” cat and benevolent “talking” dog lead him down a fantastical path that ultimately brings him to salvation.
The Oscar-nominated Marjane Satrapi (Persepolis, Chicken with Plums) is behind the camera, and will be directing from a script by Michael R. Perry (Paranormal Activity, The River).
Kendrick is coming off the back of last year’s successful Pitch Perfect, and has a slew of films on her slate this year, with Drinking Buddies, Rapturepalooza, and Get a Job all »

Anna Kendrick & Gemma Arterton Hear 'Voices' with Ryan Reynolds
22 April 2013 2:43 PM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
After lending his voice to The Croods (which is now getting a sequel) and this summer's Turbo (watch the trailer), it sounds like actor Ryan Reynolds is getting ready to hear voices this time. Just last fall, we learned the actor who dabbles in both action and comedy was taking the lead role in The Voices, a dark but somewhat comedic psychological thriller from Persepolis director Marjane Satrapi. The story involving murder and a talking dog and cat has just gained two female co-stars as Deadline reports Anna Kendrick (Pitch Perfect) and Gemma Arterton (Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters) have joined the strange project. Originally Ben Stiller was slated to star in the film (the script appeared on the Black List back in 2009) for director Mark Romanek, but now it sounds like this iteration will be the one that gets off the ground. The story follows Jerry Hickfang (Reynolds) as he »

Gemma Arterton Hears The Voices
22 April 2013 12:45 PM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
Given that one coached an elderly choir in Song For Marion and the other showed aca-capable skills in Pitch Perfect, you might think that Gemma Arterton and Anna Kendrick signing on to The Voices means more feel-good tunes. You would be wrong. They’ll actually be part of the cast for a psychological thriller. Ryan Reynolds is starring as Jerry Hickfang, a bathtub factory worker whose personality errs towards the weird. He’s secretly in love with a woman from accounting, but things go badly wrong when their relationship takes a murderous turn.He’ll need help, and Jerry will get it from his evil chatty cat and benevolent talking dog, who try to guide him down a path to salvation.Paranormal Activity franchise veteran Michael R. Perry wrote the script and Persepolis' Marjane Satrapi will start calling the shots shortly in Berlin.Arterton was last seen battling evil in Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters. »
Anna Kendrick and Gemma Arterton Added to Voices; Kate Hudson and Omar Sy Join James Franco for Good People
22 April 2013 11:48 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Here are a few casting announcements: Anna Kendrick (Pitch Perfect) and Gemma Arterton (Quantum of Solace) will star alongside Ryan Reynolds in the psychological thriller Voices, with a script from Michael R. Perry (Paranormal Activity) and Marjane Satrapi (Persepolis) on board to direct. Kate Hudson and Omar Sy (The Intouchables) have joined James Franco in the Henrik Genz (Terribly Happy) helmed film Good People, which will see Genz making his English-language debut. Hit the jump for more on each of the projects. While the plot of Voices does sound a bit odd, the cast that’s assembling for it may give the weird premise some hope. Deadline reports that Voices will see Reynolds playing a bathtub factory worker who’s relationship with a woman in accounting takes a turn for the murderous, that is until his “talking” cat and dog lead him on an adventurous journey. While it does seem interesting, »

Gemma Arterton & Anna Kendrick Join Ryan Reynolds In 'Persepolis' Director Marjane Satrapi's 'The Voices'
22 April 2013 10:18 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Change is good and Marjane Satrapi seems to thrive on it. She broke out in 2007 with the beloved, critically acclaimed, Oscar nominated "Persepolis," but has hardly made a predictable step since. Her followup was the fantastical live action tale "Chicken With Plums" and not long after came the comic mini-feature (it ran about 75 minutes long), "The Gang Of The Jotas." Now, she's shifting gears again with "The Voices," and after nabbing Ryan Reynolds to star last fall, she's picked up two more names in what may be her most mainstream effort yet. Gemma Arterton and Anna Kendrick have both boarded the intriguing thriller. The Black List script was penned by Michael R. Perry ("Paranormal Activity") and it tells the decidedly wacky story of Jerry Hickfang, a bathtub factory worker who kills the woman in accounting with whom he's been having a relationship. He then starts taking advice from his cat »

"Chicken With Plums" A Surprisingly Good Recipe For Comedy
21 March 2013 9:55 PM, PDT | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »
Writing/directing team Marjane Satrapi and Vincent Paronnaud followed up their highly successful animated feature Persepolis with the fantastical dark comedy Chicken with Plums. In Chicken with Plums, musician Nasser Ali Khan (Mathieu Amalric) is inconsolable after his prized violin is destroyed. He tries to replace it, but when the greatest and most expensive violins prove inadequate, he decides that he has nothing left in life and wants to die. He doesn't want a messy, undignified death, so he puts on a robe, crawls into bed, and waits for death to find him. In the days before his death, he tries to impart wisdom to his two young children, and his wife goes from mildly irritated to taking a last desperate attempt to earn his love.
