New interview with Alicia in the LA Times

http://www.latimes.com/entertainmen...ource=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter&dlvrit=95867


The journalist also tweeted that when she met Alicia she was cool and not the cold person the American press has portrayed her.

Quite weird interview, wasn't sure if the journalist liked Alicia or not. I thought the European royalty part was throwing shade at first but she made it clear on twitter that it wasn't. She just thought Alicia was really pretty. And once again comparing actresses to JLaw? Read another interview she did with Carey Mulligan for Suffragette and she brought up the JLaw comparison there too. I don't get the point of that.

Another interesting piece on Alicia came out today; an interview with London based casting directors (Nina Gold etc) talking about Alicia. It also gave an answer to how long the Bourne shoot will go on for, beginning of February and they will shoot in both Washington D.C. and Vegas too. It will be interesting to see if Alicia will shoot for that long. http://m.screendaily.com/5097101.article

Well, I guess she'll be working for a long time in the UK. Having Gold, Bevan and Jay in the pocket is almost like winning the lottery.
And I love that she's so close with her agents. I think that's how it's supposed to be because at the end of the day you're a team and the agent is the one trying to help your career (if you picked the right one that is).

IA and those who claim Alicia's rise is due to the like of Weinstein would do well to read this article to learn how Alicia has become so highly regarded in the industry and getting top roles. Not that they'll bother of course, trashing her to fit their agenda is what motivates them.

Interesting that she has a close relationship with Jina Jay; Michael's company DMC also has one. And of course Michael's agent Conor is also a close friend of his [emoji3]

Where does it say she has a close relationship with Jina Jay?

I got the impression that the writer was apprehensive about meeting Alicia based on what she'd read in one or two American articles earlier this year. But once she did meet her she found her cool and "kooky", and good fun! I don't know why this writer feels the need to compare European actresses with JLaw? I didn't see the Mulligan one but I know Carey is very reserved....what did she say about her? I don't like what I read about JLaw here; she sounds like she's attention seeking and looking to shock with crude behaviour... maybe that's due to me being European!

Do we know if Alicia will be taking part in the Washington and Vegas Bourne filming? She wasn't in Tenerife during that part of the filming.

Yes, I'm guessing she's read Ruth La Ferla's piece in NY Times, ugh, don't like her "journalism" at all.
The Carey interview said this:

"While Jennifer Lawrence shares stories about her intestinal distress with late-night talk-show hosts and Shailene Woodley espouses the virtues of eating clay, Mulligan is uninterested in offering up quirky personal tidbits so as to appear relatable. As a result, she's a bit at odds with a culture that demands its actors use social media or develop a lifestyle brand."
Maybe she just doesn't like JLaw, I don't know, just don't see the point of comparing them like that.

It's probably likely Alicia will do some filming in the US aswell. Sounds like it from the article too, that she'll have to do some travel to attend TDG events while filming. The part filmed in Tenerife was very short, basically just Bourne looking for Nicky in Greece. Julia Stiles wrapped after only filming for two weeks, her character will barely be in the movie.

As in close working relationship with Jina Jay and other top casting agents in London who sing her praises.

I wouldn't consider that a close working relationship. I feel like they're talking about her in a way like they've met her during their respective casting processes and experienced her professionalism. I doubt it goes beyond that and they meet for coffee regularly. Though she does have an advantage now in being cast by them more often because they know what they get.

Yeah, that's a better way of describing it. The important thing is she's well known to those who matter in the industry and has a good agent who she's close to [emoji3]

I agree. I didn't know this:
The director was so adamant that Vikander was right for "The Danish Girl" that when she had a scheduling conflict, production was put on hold for five months to accommodate her.

"We just knew that she was right, so we decided it was worth it to shut everything down and wait," said Gail Mutrux, one of "Danish Girl's" producers. "She always resists making an obvious sentimental choice in the most emotional scenes."

Thank for posting the twitter reviews. Alex Garland and Matt Damon have also both said that A Royal Affair was the reason for wanting Alicia in their movies. I get why, both her, Mads and Mikkel are incredible in it and have such great chemistry. It's such a wonderful film and story.
It seems The Danish Girl is getting mixed reviews but Alicia's performance is getting praise. Hope that's enough.

:yes: Folgaard also won The Silver Bear.

In the end, Alicia Vikander didn’t really have too much to worry about when it came to her painting skills. Mostly because her performance in The Danish Girl is so supremely layered with nuanced emotion, heart-breaking angst, and raw magnetism that you can’t take your eyes off her as you’re too scared you’ll miss another moment of beauty.

Seriously, Alicia Vikander is that good in The Danish Girl. And while Eddie Redmayne’s equally magnificent performance as Lili Elbe is likely to draw the most attention because of the actor’s physical transformation, Vikander is just as important in relating the complex dramas and conflicts of the film to the audience, while she also stops The Danish Girl from toppling into the overly melodramatic.
