Rosamund Pike Taking On Monsters And Cruise: Hail The New Queen of Action...
It's the day after the Wrath Of The Titans trailer has gone live. "Have you watched it?" Rosamund Pike asks Total Film. "It looks really exciting."
This is no PR spin. The London-born actress is "genuinely" stocked to get the chance to prove her mettle as an action heroine. Last time we looked, Andromeda was played by Alexa Davalos as little more than a sacrificial morsel for the Kraken -- before Perseus' intervention. But Pike demanded more if she were to take over the role.
"My big thing was 'What would you do 10 years ago if you had to be rescued by the guy you really fancied?' You'd make damn sure you never had to be rescued again!" she says. Now, theQueen of Argos, Pike plays Andromeda as a strong figurehead, a decision director Jonathan Liebesman gave her full backing on. "He was mentioning Braveheart a lot. I was thinking Sophie Marceau, but he was like, 'No, Mel Gibson!"
Pike may not be covered with blue war paint but this genteel middle-class daughter of two opera singers has fire in her belly, a trait she easily transmit to her character. "I think people will like her," she suggests. "I'm hoping there's a female audience for this movie, because she's fucking cool. It's made me want to go out there and find other roles as strong. It might be romantic, but girls are too willing to be rescued by fellas."
Not that Pike, who turns 33 this month, puts herself in that category. A decade since making her film debut as Miranda Frost in Bond film Die Another Day, she's spent the intervening years doing exactly what's not expected of her. Having long since melted that ice queen Bond image thanks particularly to her goofy turn in An Education, she's gone from paying her bodice-ripping dues in Pride & Prejudice and The Libertine to playing second fiddle to The Rock in Doom.
Then came Barney's Version, in which she starred as the object of lust for Paul Giamatti's TV producer. "I think I grew up a bit making that film. It was the start of getting lead roles, which is a turning point." Already she's reaping the benefits - from Jack Black/Steve Martin comedy The Big Year to the just-lensed Chris McQuarrie-directed thriller One Shot. Pike plays a legal eagle to Tom Cruise's homicide investigator.
"It feels like an exciting time," she admits. "I think Wrath game me a lot of confidence." In particular, sculpting her body to become warrior-like. "You're having to get fit and watch your nutrition... it's like turning yourself into a sportsman or a racehorse." Enduring injuries, she even tore her calf ligaments but carried on. "I threw myself into this. I threw myself into Bond, but this was more of a total experience."
Her role in One Shot, which she compares to The French Connection and Hitchcock's thrillers, is "more cerebral", with the action left to the Cruiser. Pike may be the model professional, but even she marvelled at working with the star. "He is a face I've grown up with. I remember lying on my tummy watching Top Gun," she giggles. "He's such a fantastic action star. It's most impressive to sit back and watch him do his thing. Tom can do all his own driving stunts. Literally, all of them."
But she refused to get overawed, as she did with Bond. "I was so awestruck with Pierce [Brosnan] and Judi [Dench], because I didn't have that ease with them. One of the worst things you can on a set is be awestruck. You don't serve you or the film well. So that's what I seek out now: a good actor is a free and relaxed actor."
One Shot opens in February 2013. [Total Film Magazine article and image. Scans and text transcribed by Jeane of P&P Blog]
Speaking ofOne Shot, looks like its original US theater release date has just moved up (via Box Office Mojo) from February 8th, 2013 to December 21st, 2012!
In what looks like a big release schedule shake up at Paramount Pictures, they decided to give World War Z (starring Brad Pitt) spot to Tom Cruise's One Shot. World War Z is now set for June 21st, 2013.
Yay, this is great news (and hope this release date sticks) as I want to see the One Shot movie by the end of this year and not next year. Another year (since 2009: Surrogates, An Education; 2010: Made in Dagenham, Barney's Version [Canada] release, Jackboots on Whitehall [Animated]; 2011: Barney's Version [USA release], Burning Palms, Johnny English Reborn, and The Big Year) with more than one RP movies (this year 2012: Wrath of the Titans and One Shot)! Go RP! One Shot new release date related articles

WIN." "It's time to take a stand!" Can't wait to see her in this film!

Wrath of the Titans production stills featuring Rosamund Pike as Queen Andromeda
A decade after his heroic defeat of the monstrous Kraken, Perseus (Worthington) –the demigod son of Zeus (Neeson)–is attempting to live a quieter life as a village fisherman and the sole parent to his 10-year old son, Helius. Meanwhile, a struggle for supremacy rages between the gods and the Titans. Dangerously weakened by humanity’s lack of devotion, the gods are losing control of the imprisoned Titans and their ferocious leader, Kronos, father of the long-ruling brothers Zeus, Hades (Fiennes) and Poseidon (Danny Huston). The triumvirate had overthrown their powerful father long ago, leaving him to rot in the gloomy abyss of Tartarus, a dungeon that lies deep within the cavernous underworld. Perseus cannot ignore his true calling when Hades, along with Zeus’ godly son, Ares (Edgar Ramirez), switch loyalties and make a deal with Kronos to capture Zeus. The Titans’ strength grows stronger as Zeus’ remaining godly powers are siphoned, and hell is unleashed on earth. Enlisting the help of the warrior Queen Andromeda (Rosamund Pike), Poseidon’s demigod son, Argenor (Toby Kebbell), and fallen god Hephaestus (Bill Nighy), Perseus bravely embarks on a treacherous quest into the underworld to rescue Zeus, overthrow the Titans and save mankind.

Happy Birthday Rosamund Pike!!!
Rosamund Pike aka the BeautifulJane Bennet in Pride & Prejudice
"Now, if every man in the room does not end the evening in love with you, then I have no judge of beauty." (Lizzie Bennet, Pride & Prejudice film)
"She is the most beautiful creature I have ever beheld." (Mr. Bingley, Pride & Prejudice film)
"Of course, it's my Jane who is considered the beauty of the county.I knew she could not be so beautiful for nothing." (Mrs. Bennet, Pride & Prejudice film)
“Jane is the oldest Bennet girl, and she would have had a lot of responsibility bringing up the younger girls, so she had a slightly sort of motherly instinct. But I didn´t want to play her as this very demure, slightly dull character. I wanted to play her as someone who laughs a lot. We want the whole Bennet family to be a family that laughs, a whole household that´s filled with laughter and filled with movement.” (Rosamund Pike)
“Unlike Lizzie, Jane likes to think the best of people. She has found that the easiest way to get through life is to think that people are nice and good, and not to be suspicious about other people´s negative motives. Jane doesn´t have much pride or prejudice really.” (Rosamund Pike)
“Ros gets funny press. People seem to think she’s very cold and Sloaney, probably because of the Bond film. But she’s warm and loving and has these amazing parents, both opera singers. She’s one of the most extraordinary people I’ve ever met. She’s far cleverer than I am. I cast her because I knew she wasn’t going to play her as a nice, simple person. Jane has a real interior world, she has her heart broken.” (Joe Wright, P&P director)
“Rosamund was…it´s indescribable how ethereally beautiful she was.” (Donald Sutherland)
“I was looking for the opposite of Keira in a way; an actress who could portray the period ideal of what a woman should be, since Jane is hailed as the beauty of the family. Rosamund Pike was simply perfect and is wonderful in the role.” (Joe Wright, P&P director)
Interesting RP Trivia (via IMDB):
Nickname: Ros
An anagram of her name is 'A Supremo Kind' She plays the piano and cello
She can speak French and German
Graduated with a 2:1 (upper second class degree = 2nd Honors = Magna Cum Laude) in English Literature from Oxford University's Wadham College.
She was friends with former First DaughterChelsea Clinton while at Wadham College, Oxford. Not only are they both the same height (5' 9"), they are both fluent in German, and they are both only children.
Won the Award for Best Debut at the 2003 Empire Awards for her performance as Miranda Frost in Die Another Day (2002).
Was engaged to P&P directorJoe Wright, having met when he directed her on the set of Pride & Prejudice (2005), after he proposed to her on Lake Como in Italy (September 2007-June 2008).
Dated P&P co-star Simon Woods (Mr. Bingley) previously before co-starring with him in P&P movie
[What RP said about her experience filming P&P movie]:
"Filming Pride & Prejudice (2005) was a joy and made for one of my happiest summers ever. "It could well be that the story brings out the best in people - and it sounds so cheesy, but we really did behave like a family. The girls playing the younger sisters had never been on a film set before and wanted to socialize all the time, so we picnicked, hung out in a beautiful country house and went swimming naked in a lake. It was idyllic."
[On the direction from Joe Wright in "Pride and Prejudice."]
"You can get quite self-conscious at times, there's this business of your close up coming up, but in that big ball scene he put three cameras on it. And in lots of the dinner scenes too, so you wouldn't actually know when your moment was coming. That's why it's got that lovely unaware quality to it, you really did feel it's being observed. I think it's because people didn't know they were being watched really, that's what you get, this window on life."
[On Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice and the film]:
“Jane Austen wrote such a sensationally romantic story. It got to me all the time during filming. It’s deeply romantic, and I think in this day and age we need films with romance at their core out there. They can light people up.”
[On playing an eldest sister to 5 Bennet siblings in Pride & Prejudice film]:
“Really fun. I'm an only child, so I don't know what it's like to have that particular rivalry you have with a sister, or that love. With this, it feels like it's come alive”.
