Noomi Rapace Isn’t Polite with Tom Hardy

Noomi Rapace doesn't "need to be polite" when she works with Tom Hardy.
The Swedish actress appears alongside the Batman: The Dark Knight Rises star in Soviet-era thriller Child 44, and says their on screen chemistry comes from being such good friends off-camera:
"I met Tom two years previously and we were looking for something to work on. What was really great was that we know each other really well, and we really trust each other, so we don't need to be polite, we don't need to start from zero. We could just melt into the next one. We had so much for free. It felt like we were this gypsy family coming from New York with all our family and the next stop was Prague [in The Czech Republic]."
Noomi also told how one of the main reasons she wanted to become an actress and travel the world was so it got her away from the cold winters of her native Sweden, but also acknowledged they were always a good time for her creatively. "Because it's dark and cold out, it forces people to be creative, you can't just sit and hang out. For six months it's dark and lonely and forces some creativity," she added.

Ridley Scott: Casting is Key
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: 20th Century Fox, Horror, Science Fiction, Thrillers, Casting, Filmmaking, New Releases,
Ridley Scott claims the key to a successful movie is all in the casting. The Prometheus director is careful to surround himself with a great cast on all the films he makes, and from there tries to ensure the experience is as "fun" as possible.
"I think every director has his own method, and mine is all in the casting, the actors usually trust me. I like to have a team and I make it, honestly, as much fun as possible," he said.

Noomi Rapace Isn’t Sexy in Prometheus
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: 20th Century Fox, Action, Horror, Science Fiction, Thrillers, Celeb News, Filmmaking, Upcoming Releases,
Noomi Rapace insists her role in Prometheus wasn't sexy.
The 32-year-old actress portrays archaeologist Dr. Elizabeth Shaw in the forthcoming movie and though there are scenes where she appears scantily clad, she insists her looks were not the focal point of the scenes.
"I'm running around half naked in a couple of scenes and I never thought about it. Ridley [Scott, director] didn't want me dressed that way for kicks. It's not sexy - just very basic - and it serves the scene. I'm not here to be sexy. Sometimes you can do a sexy part or play a woman who's supposed to be beautiful and then we can do beauty. That's for another movie. But for this movie it was sweat. More sweat, then more dirt. More blood. The make-up artist said it was unusual to ask for more fake blood and sweat, but I loved it."
Noomi enjoyed working with the acclaimed filmmaker on the movie, and said the pair are "kindred spirits." She told the Daily Mail, "He doesn't see it from a man's perspective and at time we were like kindred spirits, sharing the body of the character."
Quote of the Day: Noomi Rapace on Lisabeth Salander
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Action, Adaptation, Mystery, Remakes, Thrillers, Celeb News, Filmmaking,
"I felt like she lived in me... My Lisbeth was my Lisbeth. I gave her my life and my soul for one-and-a-half years, and then I was finished. I’m so done with her... My whole body was just kind of throwing Lisbeth out of me. I was like, I don’t know who I am anymore! It’s almost like you’re coming out of a… It’s like you’ve loaned yourself to someone else."
- Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows actress Noomi Rapace, reflecting on her portrayal of Lisabeth Salander in the original adaptations of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo series.
