I have finally added some screencaptures from the The Joy Of Six – Live Google Hangout back April 29 this year. You can see them here, or if you’re interested in watching the video please click here. In it, Romola discusses, among other things, how her experience as an actor has influenced her directing style or who her first movie crush was. 
Romola attended The Royal Academy Of Arts Summer Exhibition 2013 the day before yesterday, looking beautiful in her black dress! You can see some pictures from the event here in our gallery.
On the last day of the first manned mission to Mars, a crew member of Tantalus Base believes he has made an astounding discovery – fossilized evidence of bacterial life. Unwilling to let the relief crew claims all the glory, he disobeys orders to pack up and goes out on an unauthorized expedition to collect further samples. But a routine excavation turns to disaster when the porous ground collapses and he falls into a deep crevice and near certain death. His devastated colleagues attempt to recover his body. However, when another vanishes, they start to suspect that the life-form they have discovered is not without danger. As the group begins to fall apart, it seems their only hope is the imminent.
You can also see some captures from the clip in our gallery! The movie will be released on September 19 this year.
Tears were shed and petitions signed when BBC2 cancelled period drama The Hour earlier this year after two critically acclaimed but low-rating series following the birth of a fictional BBC current affairs programme in the 1950s. But the show, created by Abi Morgan, should come back in the form of a one-off, 1960s-set special, according to two of its stars.
Speaking at the 2013 Television Baftas in London last night, Romola Garai said of her time on the drama: “It was an amazing experience: a fascinating period of history, amazing actors, one of the best writers writing in television at the moment.
“It’s very sad [that the show has been cancelled] but these things happen. You just have to be grateful and glad that you got the job in the first place and you had a wonderful time making it.”
Co-star Peter Capaldi, who was nominated for a Bafta for his portrayal of head of news Randall Brown (and for Malcolm Tucker in The Thick Of It), said: “We had plans to take it into the 60s, move to Television Centre. That would have all been good fun. There might be a chance to do a one-off catching up on some of the characters. It’d be fascinating to see them doing Panorama or something like that.”
Garai agreed: “We could do [a one-off episode]. The show was never intended to end as a cliffhanger so it’s really sad that you don’t get to finish off the storylines. Abi was always talking about taking it much more into the 60s: huge social changes.”
The actress added that a new episode might see her character Bel fix the romantic tension between her and fellow journalist Freddie – the character played by Ben Whishaw, who last night won the leading actor Bafta for The Hollow Crown. “Freddie and Bel’s story might have a dramatic resolution,” Garai said. “Possibly they might have ended up together. People who enjoyed the show really wanted that to happen!” (Source)
Fingers crossed!!!
Actress Romola Garai stunned U.K. Tv viewers on Sunday night (12May13) by graphically detailing the recent birth of her baby as she prepared to hand over a trophy at the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (Bafta) Tv Awards.
The Atonement star and her actor partner Sam Hoare became parents earlier this year (13), and Garai made a post-baby appearance at the prizegiving in London.
She took to the stage to announce the nominees for Best Male Performance in a Comedy Programme – and the 30 year old shocked the star-studded crowd by opening up about the arrival of her child.
Garai declared, “After the recent birth of my child, I had the misfortune of having 23 stitches in my vagina. So I didn’t think I’d be laughing at anything for a long time – but tonight’s nominees have proved me wrong.”
Funnyman Steve Coogan won the prize for his role in Welcome to the Places of My Life. (Source)
Romola attended The Laurence Olivier Awards yesterday where she was a presenter. Needless to say, she looked spectacular! I’ve uploaded a couple of pictures here – thanks a lot to Mia for donating the HQs!
Last Days on Mars, the debut feature film from Irish director Ruairí Robinson, is to screen in the Directors’ Fortnight section of the Cannes Film Festival next month.
The Liev Schreiber and Romola Garai-starring film tells the story of a group of astronauts who encounter a mysterious and terrifying force.
Commenting on Last Days on Mars’ selection for Cannes, Robinson said: “Having my film selected for Directors’ Fortnight is very exciting and a wonderful endorsement of the creative talents of my cast and crew. My head just exploded.” (…)
The Cannes Film Festival runs from May 15 to 26. (Source)
I added DVD screencaptures of The Crimson Petal and the White‘s deleted scenes (unfortunately, Romola was only featured in one of them) and a behind the scenes interview with her. Click on the previews below to be taken to the album!
I replaced the low quality captures of Nicholas Nickleby (2002) with better quality DVD ones! Click here to see them! Romola was lovely in her role as Kate Nickleby!
According to Peerage News, Romola has given birth to a daughter (the name remains unknown) in March! Congrats to her and Sam, that is wonderful news! I hope they are all happy and healthy!
