Thanks for sharing! I think Alicia is heading to Paris for a press event tomorrow. James Kent and her are doing some promotion for Testament Of Youth which premieres in France on Sept 23. If I'm not misstaken.

Great interview with a bunch of fun news!

"Vikander was among a handful of actresses who read for the part of Gerda, which in early stages of development had drawn interest from Gwyneth Paltrow and Rachel Weisz. She auditioned with Redmayne, performing a pivotal scene on the morning after a ball, where Einar, appearing as Lili for the first time, flirts with a male suitor (Ben Whishaw), and must confront Gerda about her true feelings. When Vikander finished her lines, Hooper was weeping. “The only other time in my memory I cried at an audition was when Anne Hathaway sang ‘I Dreamed a Dream’ for ‘Les Miserables,’ ” Hooper says. He wanted Vikander for the part, but there was just one problem: She was set to shoot Derek Cianfrance’s drama “The Light Between Oceans,” and her schedule wouldn’t allow her to make both films. Hooper delayed the beginning of “The Danish Girl” by five months to secure the actress. “I’ve never pushed a start date before,” he says. “It was so much a film about a marriage that the marriage had to be cast right.”

"Next year, she pops up as the female lead of Paul Greengrass’ “Bourne Identity” sequel, a role she nabbed without an audition or chemistry test with Matt Damon. “It’s a female role that hasn’t been in the franchise before,” Vikander says."

I think she looks a bit plastic and overly photoshopped, which is completely unnecessary because she has perhaps the most flawless complexion of any working actress.

I agree, they always ruin covers by over doing it! Like this one better; source; Variety

First look at Alicia in Bradley Cooper's Burnt!

She did say, unless I got it completely wrong, at the Testament Of Youth premiere in Paris that her two scenes in Burnt is in french. I knew she was playing a french character, didn't know that the scenes would be in French though. Like I said, could be wrong about it, perhaps It's in both french and English? She studied french for a few years in school, but has said that she has lost most of it and is too embarrassed to try and speak it in public.

What a classic beauty. Simple but elegant.

Intetesting review: http://www.bbc.com/culture/story/20150907-will-redmayne-win-an-oscar-for-the-danish-girl

Early on in The Danish Girl, a plush new drama directed by Tom Hooper (The King’s Speech, Les Misérables), a woman gazes at her reclining husband and huskily asks, “When did you become so pretty?” To which you might be tempted to reply, “Look who’s talking!” It’s not just that the woman is played by Alicia Vikander – who is, of course, absurdly gorgeous. It’s more that everyone and everything in the film is similarly attractive. Alexandre Desplat’s music ripples away tastefully, the cityscapes and art nouveau apartments are meticulously framed and spotless, the actors all wear brand new tailored clothes which are so perfectly co-ordinated that you can almost hear the satisfied sighs of the wardrobe team, and every line of dialogue is as polished as the Oscar statuettes which the film seems designed to receive.

Still, the fact that Gerda doesn’t oppose the transition is the film’s most touching and surprising element (unless you’ve seen the trailer, which gives it away). Gerda is unflaggingly loyal in a way that echoes the marriage in Redmayne’s last award-grabbing biopic, The Theory of Everything. And Vikander is magnetic in the role. Whenever The Danish Girl threatens to become too precious, which is most of the time, she will tweak her dialogue with a laugh, or an eye roll, or a shake of the head. As well as giving Hooper’s crystalline melodrama some welcome vivacity, it’s also a moving performance. Gerda’s levity, we understand, is what she uses to cope with the vanishing of her husband.

Seems Alicia was in LA yesterday

http://www.luvcelebs.com/alicia-vik...ander-in-jeans-shorts-out-in-la-52882-11.html

Maybe she attended TLBO screening en route to TIFF?

 

[jcsepjj]

That's not Alicia, she looks a lot like her though! [emoji85] Alicia was in NYC.

There was a TLBO screening in LA last night, haven't heard much about it yet but someone on twitter said; good performances, great chemistry between Alicia and Michael but not that strong story. Hopefully we'll hear from more people during the day!
