The Bourne studio is at Leavesden, near Borehamwood/Watford in the north west suburbs of London; it's where the Harry Potter films were made too, obviously!

If you've got a photo of the station I can maybe identify it, I know most of the London main line stations, big and small. And yes, it's great everyone can get together and socialise after work too [emoji2]

Ah, see and AC is shooting at Pinewood. The British film industry is really running high right now. The new Cotillard/Pitt film will be shot in London too.

It would be nice to read a thread on this website about an actress I like without people constantly comparing her to Jennifer Lawrence. It's possible to like both, you know. Even if you don't like both, JLaw is irrelevant to this thread, so why is she constantly being brought up? Why do some people think they need to drag down other people and diminish their success in order to prop their faves? It's ridiculous and, I'll say it, reeks of sexism. You don't see people saying "I think Leo DiCaprio is overrated!" in threads for Fassbender and Christian Bale and all his other peers. It's so annoying to read. I come to read this thread because I like Alicia, why can't we keep the discussion focused on only her and not constantly talk about other actresses and their careers and talents?

Alicia and Michael out and about in London today, spotted by piccadilly circus, are they even in the movies? Lol

Lol Im not surprise they have time off, everything takes so long to get ready in big action movies, I heard it takes up to 3 weeks sometimes to shoot one action scene. Luckily, London is their hometown so they can work and relax at home in their downtime.

Do we now anything yet on Alicie's Bourne character? It's been a really long time since I watched the movies but I'm hoping it will be something more than basic female character in a action movie. I want more something more like Rebecca Ferguson on MI5 for her in this one.

I know! Matt has been in the same clothes for the past two weeks shooting the scenes on the roof and train station so it's probably going to be a while!

We don't know much. Alicia has said that her part is a female part that hasn't been in the franchise before so I'm guessing it's an actionfilled one. Either she's helping Bourne, which I think is probably the case, or she's tracking him. Alicia was super impressed by Rebeccas work in MI5 (they know each other quite well) so I'm sure she'd love to do something similar. Although Alicia signed on for Bourne before MI5 was out. She was asked when doing UNCLE press if she'd be able to do similar stunts in Bourne as in UNCLE to which she replied "I'm not sure yet, can't talk about it." But by the look if her face it seemed as if it was a possibility. :)

I hope Alicia's role in the Bourne film is a good one and not just a love interest/femme fetale type role. Actions movies have been getting better and better at writing women to be badass and strong and independent (Blunt in Edge of Tomorrow, Theron in Mad Max, Ferguson in MI etc) so hopefully Alicia's role follows suit and is more like those parts than, say, her role in Man from UNCLE.

Does anyone know how long the Bourne shoot goes on for?

Part of the movie takes place in Vegas so it's probably likely they'll do some of the shoot there aswell. Btw, turns out the Dragon Tattoo story was all rumour like suspected and Rooney Mara seems to still be attached. Feels like this is good news. I've read 2/3 of the book and I'm not liking it much. Lisbeth is barely in it, I've read 20 chapters and she's only been in 4 of them..

The HFPA (Golden Globes) threw a bit of a wrinkle into her Oscar campaign. They aren't accepting her bid as a "supporting" actress. She'll have to compete in lead there.

Who decides what category an actor is in? The film makers or the award governing committee? Either way it's not the actor themselves who chooses....From what I've read the GG decision sounds more honest as she IS considered the lead in TDG with as much screen time as Redmayne, and a more impressive performance to boot!

It will definitely get a lot tougher to get a nomination but it's seems like it's time to change the rules. And Alicia is lead. BIFA saw it!


http://www.awardscircuit.com/2015/11/14/twist-vikander-and-mara-lead-for-golden-globes/

As reported late Friday night by Variety’s Kris Tapley and other industry writers, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the entity responsible for handing out the coveted Oscar precursor Golden Globes, has made some very interesting rulings in re: Comedy/Drama submissions and Lead/Supporting classification.

The big bombshell of the HFPA’s ruling is that Alicia Vikander of The Danish Girl and Rooney Mara of Carol will BOTH be classified as LEAD for the Golden Globes, after Focus Features and The Weinstein Co., respectively, had announced intentions to campaign both in the Best Supporting Actress race. While yours truly has yet to see either film here in the Sunshine State, nearly every individual who’s seen either film has attested to the foolish categorization. How does this change the Best Actress race? How DOESN’T this change the Best Supporting Actress race?



Recently, the HFPA has looked the other way when some Oscar bloggers have cried foul for alleged/arguable/blatant Category Fraud (see: Patricia Arquette, Boyhood; Julia Roberts, August: Osage County; Helen Hunt, The Sessions; Christoph Waltz, Django Unchained; Christoph Waltz, Inglorious Basterds; Bérénice Bejo, The Artist; Rachel Weisz, The Constant Gardener; Philip Seymour Hoffman, The Master; etc.). And yet, the HFPA (along with BAFTA) have a small record with calling bull on such “don’t pee on my leg and tell me its raining” campaigns, such as Catherine Zeta-Jones in Chicago. Nevertheless, given that HFPA has played ball with studios’ campaigns without headline-inducing issues for so long, perhaps this is indicative of the straw breaking the camel’s back. Will the BFCA, SAG, and BAFTA follow?



The HFPA also ruled that the Bryan Cranston film Trumbo has been deemed a Drama after being submitted as a Comedy/Musical, which makes it less funny than My Week with Marilyn, I guess (good luck coming up with five actors in Best Actor – Comedy/Musical now–woof). Also, The Martian has been confirmed as a Comedy/Musical by the HFPA, which seems obvious enough, given it’s hilarious. Jason Segal and (per GoldDerby) Tom Courtenay have been deemed Lead for The End of the Tour and 45 Years, respectively.

Finally, apparently the yet-to-be-finished Joy is angling for a Comedy/Musical classification after earlier reports had pointed towards a Drama designation. Make what you will of that news.

Thoughts on the Vikander and Mara news? Is there a world wherein Best Actress – Drama ISN’T Brie Larson (Room), Saoirse Ronan (Brooklyn), Cate Blanchett (Carol), Rooney Mara (Carol), and Alicia Vikander (The Danish Girl)? And who benefits for the seemingly “open” slots in Best Supporting Actress? Is is Joan Allen for Room…Jane Fonda for Youth?
