There will always be people who remember that one (or two) negative article in the beginning of an actor's career that they base their dislike on and ignore everything that came after that. If you really want to dislike someone you will always find something. It's like tilting at windmills. There's no point in trying to convince them otherwise.

Yes you are right!!
If you want to you can always find something, good or bad depends how you interpret the words.

Is it premiere for UNCLE next week ? In NY or London?

True. Confirmation bias will exist no matter what

There is a "peoples premiere" in London on the 7th, don't think the cast will be there but could be wrong. The world premiere is in NYC on the 10th. :)

i think it's her best photo shoot this year? i love this pic, it's a gorgeous dress by Chloé

That picture is stunning. The interview is good too. They also have a short video interview with her on their site. IMO, what happens going forward, particularly her work, matters much more than a few sentences in an interview most didn't even read. Actors have said some really stupid, sometimes outrageous things in interviews. Yet they recover and go on to win Oscars. Alicia saying she's appreciated her past anonymity but is now ready for her work to be seen and be more known wasn't even negatively interpreted by everyone. Mainly by the ones who already didn't like her and were looking for reasons other than she's dating Michael Fassbender.

exactly. a journalist recently said (after the cara delevingne 'fiasco') that it's expectable from actors unless you're a seasoned pro like tom cruise who have the list of acceptable interview responds tattoed inside your eyelids.

and yeah, of course her work will matter more than some words in articles. If comments i read on social medias are any indicator, most people recognize her or refer to her as ava from ex-machina rather than 'the thinking man's blake lively'...the stuff about her being said in celebrity articles will be the first impression for those who regularly visit such sites and haven't seen her work, but how many people actually read those? a LOT fewer than those who watched ex machina and got their first impressions of her from that movie, i bet

Well, let's see. The box office worldwide for Ex Machina was only $37 mil, translated into tickets that's about 4.5 million tickets. And the NY Times gets about 42 million unique visitors per month, so... way more people read the NY Times and would have possibly come across that "one" negative article than saw her little movie. As for gossip sites, Just Jared gets about 48 million uniques per month, Oh No They Didn't about 17 million uniques, Lainey and Celebitchy about 3.9 million each. That's hardly "a lot fewer than who watched Ex Machina." I mean, kind of a lot of people are reading these gossip sites, and they all pretty much parrot each other, which only reinforces that "one" negative article. But okay. I guess confirmation bias isn't just for the "haters".

I think maybe why you see more positive feedback via social media is because the people who dislike her are less inclined to post about her (this thread for example: you probably haven't noticed how Stepford it is, even though there are plenty of people here who don't like her), and the people who find her forgettable... well, they forgot her. You can't post what you don't remember.

Yes,and actually her words were pretty clear:
"I’ve had many years of working a lot without being in the public eye. And that’s been good.But by this time next year, I think things are going to change.” She smiled. “I expect to be busy. I’m ready to be a bit more known.”
And,really,what did she say in the (in)famous "Thinking Man's Blake Lively interview" ? What I saw was an irritating journalist, irritated by the whole "MoMA interview" and by a person who didn't want to speak about her personal life.
I doubt that more than 4.5 million people were so much interested in her interview in the NYT style section to remember her as the Thinking Man's Blake Lively... :laugh:


There are, but being known purely for her work and not her personal life is not the tactic she initially chose, and it sort of backfired on her. She can switch it up, that's fine, it's just also pretty hilarious too. At least her team finally figured out that's what they needed to do. Although I think it's too late. I mean, she's going to be known as the Thinking Man's Blake Lively Who Got Famous Because She Dated Michael Fassbender for awhile. First impressions count.
People are praising her performance in Ex Machina,she has a BIFTA nomination for TOY,she's going to have a movie in competition at the Venice Film Festival because she's known as the "Thinking Man's Blake Lively,Fassbender's girlfriend"...
Her previous awards,nominations are very forgettable too.
She's just the "Thinking Man's Blake Lively Who Got Famous Because She Dated Michael Fassbender for awhile" for a few vocal Michael's fans. People who love movies judge her work as an actress. That's the reason why there's positive feedback on social networks...
Even people who read and comment on those gossip blogs and think that she came across as arrogant in her first interviews have no problem admitting that she's a good actress. Lainey Gossip too..

Yes,above all those who find her so forgettable... :p

Yes,but the LOVE mag photos are very good too.
Another interview with Baz Bamigboye:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbi...Vikander-s-duets-banjo-playing-man-UNCLE.html

Filmed and primed for release are Tulip Fever, with Christoph Waltz and Dane DeHaan; and The Light Between the Ocean, opposite Michael Fassbender.
I’m also hearing reports of a ‘luminous’ performance in Tom Hooper’s The Danish Girl, in which she stars with Oscar-winner Eddie Redmayne.

IA. I guess it's easy for fans to assume that everything revolves around Michael (she's getting famous only because of him; people are interested in her only because of him, etc).. but the thing is, she's the lead actress in a movie that is being widely regarded as one of the best movies of the year (ex machina is a regular presence in many lists of 2015's best movies by various critics and cinephiles), so it's not hard to see why many people are interested in her for her works and medias want to feature her in articles and interviews.
