Lady heart of the Prince of Persia Dastan, Princess Tamina, performed by a young, but already in all the shining stars Gemma Arterton conquers the world screens. All had already admire Arterton in the continuation of James bond "quantum of solace", in criminal Thriller "Rock-n-rol'shchikov and touching story about radio pirates "Rock wave". Its place on the screen, all seems well deserved, but few people know that in the glittering world of the film industry at the moment has led not so much obvious talent as a series of amazing coincidences.
Six fingers and one shriveled ear
Future actress Gemma Christina Arterton was born 12 January 1986 in Gravesend, Kent in South East England. She was the first child of a poor family of Arterton, where his father was a welder and his mother a cleaner. A girl called Gemma (Gemma), which in English, means precious stone. The name could not have: baby Gemma was born with six fingers on his hands and one eye she had wrinkled - stone required cut.
Genetic stuff has been corrected in infancy: British surgeons removed his fingers and straightened his ear. The impact of their work now is almost not visible for millions of eyes.
At the age of seven she entered the grammar school Gravesend for girls, called Saws road, and almost from that moment, she had made herself. From the age of 11 she began to attend courses theatre arts, and at 16 and had left school.
After leaving school, Gemma in 2004 enrolled in College, but soon realized that conventional training is not for her. After studying just a few months, she received the Grand, and left College to continue their education in one of the world's most famous (and oldest in Britain) theatrical schools of the Royal Academy of dramatic art. Three years later she graduated from the Academy and received a bachelor's degree. She doesn't yet know what the meteoric rise waiting for her in the near future.
Off for one year
Debut Gemma on the set took place in the period of her training at the Academy. She got a role in the British TV series "Capturing Mary" ("Capturing Mary"). She had a small role of a girl named Lisa. But then she did not attach importance to this experience. She wanted to play on stage.
Immediately after the release, in late 2007, she made her theatrical debut. She played the role on the stage of the famous globe theatre in London. Her first role was Rosalind in Shakespeare's play "the Fruitless efforts of love". But for a long time to linger on the stage Arterton had not. Almost immediately she received an offer to try out for the role of Kelly Jones in the movie "Classmate", the Director of which was Oliver Parker, burst most recently, the movie "Dorian gray", and who is known around the world series "Poirot".
Here begins a series of coincidences that brought in the end, Gemma Arterton at the top of the cinematic Olympus. Upon completion of the casting Director chose the candidate Sienna Miller. However Siena at the last moment refused, because she suddenly changed the shooting schedule of the film "Forbidden love". In the end, the creators there's nothing left to offer the role of Gemma Arterton.
A substantial fee and fascinating script and the opportunity to work on a platform with such stars of British cinema as Stephen fry and Colin Firth outweighed the aspirations Gemma's love for the theater, and she accepted the offer.
The film had a very impressive success. He brought in cinemas worldwide to nearly $53 million versus $13, 5 million budget. But not the first and not the second work in a great movie made Arterton famous. And this, you can guess, he helped the case.
After the "Classmate" Gemma takes two proposals. In 2007 she starred in the Comedy drama "Three on the flight" and in one episode of the series "living the book of Jane Austen". Maybe soon Arterton would have returned to the theater, don't tell her agent to participate in the casting of the film "quantum of solace" on the role of girls of James bond.
Gemma appeared on the platform of the Director Marc Forster ("monster's Ball", "Character") and, on anything, especially not expecting, did a few takes with Daniel Craig. At the same time managed to get acquainted with Jerry Bruckheimer. Then she will tell you about this meeting: "Then we saw each other almost in passing, I didn't even remember whether he gave me".
Gemma almost forgot about this event. Her at that moment came the offer to star in guy Ritchie movie "Rock-n-rol'shchikov" and she has already participated in the filming, when she called and said that she can play a role in "Quantum of solace", but not as a "bond girl", and a secret agent of British intelligence. To Gemma's delight knew no bounds, although she did not know that she was able to work around fifteen hundred candidates for this role, and that the reason for the decision in her favor was... jealousy Brand, boyfriedn Olga Kurylenko, which won the audition for the lead female role.
The fact that the plot of the bond (Daniel Craig) in the film was supposed to be an erotic scene with Camille Montes (Olga Kurylenko). However, jealous mark has set a condition that there should be not only erotic scenes, but even appearing on screen naked. The script was changed so that bond gets into bed not with Camilla and her agent. In this regard, the role of agent fields took not the most experienced or masculine in appearance actress and very sexy. Isn't that a fantastic coincidence?
The role of the agent Strawberry fields brought Gemma Arterton so famous that she could not get working in other British films. Suggestions just fell down on her and she had the opportunity to choose the most expensive. And to all this she spent a little over a year after graduating from the Academy.
The incredible success was also pleasantly complemented by a proposal from the firm Avon to become the face of the new perfume "Bond Girl 007". Surprisingly, not risen jealousy hot Mark to appear on the posters Olga Kurylenko.
The goddess and the Princess
Only in the last two years after a brilliant takeoff in the movie "quantum of solace" Gemma Arterton starred in six films. Among them are quite unknown to the Russian viewer of the painting, like the short film "Perfect" Director Christopher Obi, and a very famous bands, such as "Rock wave" and "clash of the titans".
"Clash of the titans", by the way, does not look like film, claiming the title of cultural heritage. Too they all got it wrong from the point of view of myths, too rushed (at the expense of quality) to release the film in 3D. But doubtless seen the reason Arterton took part in this tape. In the battle of the titans, she plays the role of the goddess IO, punished by Zeus by the curse of eternal youth. Say what you will, but this is expensive. Yes and in the film, thanks to Gemma, now really is something to see. There she is, without exaggeration, is divinely beautiful.
But her next role promises not only to look at the list after the goddess, but also threatens to bring the name Gemma Arterton absolutely unattainable height. In may of this year she will appear on the screen in the role of Princess Tamina in the movie "Prince of Persia: the Sands of time".
In the new movie Arterton will appear in the role of an Eastern Queen, lady of the sacred city Alamut where covered chained by the gods in the crystal powerful Sands of time.
Gemma tells us that he learned about the participation in the project, early in the morning, lying in bed. The news was so stunned her that she did not even able to climb. "It was completely unrealistic, " says Gemma, I sat on the bed and word by word scrolled in mind this news. It turns out that it was not easy to accept the idea that you will soon become a Princess".
Curiously, this role Gemma caused another accident. Apart from her for the audition for Tamina was invited Iranian movie star, Golshifte farahani. But arrive it failed, the actress was detained at the airport for the Iranian authorities because after filming Ridley Scott's "body of lies", her court was not allowed to leave the country within six months. Miracles and only.
And a horse walking
The film "Prince of Persia: the Sands of time" really promises to be a real cinematic explosion. Its budget is $150 million, starring star "Donnie Darko" and "Brokeback mountain" Jake Gyllenhaal and Oscar winner Sir Ben Cigli, and in the Director's chair - Mike Newell, in the recent past Director of the film "Harry Potter and the goblet of fire".
But not only the budget and big names was for Gemma Arterton decent reason to join the crew. She wanted to get this role, because at the beginning it will become clear that this film will change all who take part in it.
"When I came to the site to take samples, " says Gemma, Mike (Newell) said that we have to go through many trials, most of which need to convince a lot of people older and stronger than himself, that I really strong enough and pretty enough to make it." It was a challenge to take that honor for any actor.
The first part of the filming took place in Morocco, 50-degree heat in the desert. Agree, not just to show the talent in such harsh conditions. But she managed, and, at the same time, very well learned his heroine.
"Tamina is not just a girl authority, describes his role Arterton, her personality is very versatile. Yes, she is a high priestess, Princess, but she and Tomboy, and even an adventurer. She's a real cocktail, created a magical waiter".
But not only acting talent it took from Gemma on the set. She had to keep a lot of precautions, because she was the only girl who was obliged in the desert to look perfect. And Princess Tamina travels horse that demanded of the performer of the main female roles to master the basics of riding. And it was Gemma especially difficult.
"I've never rode on a horse - laughs Gemma, I had to learn from the very beginning, and I have failed a lot of takes before I started to get tricks like jumping from a horse and a horse at full gallop. Even wanted to change the script to remove a few scenes with me, but I said "don't worry! I could do that".
However, the shooting of the film "Prince of Persia: the Sands of time" brought Gemma not only test her talent and physical abilities. In the film she met and started Dating with a young Spanish stuntman.
To be together with people
Tight filming schedules almost never leaves her to lead the life of an ordinary man. But the actress tries. She still loves the theatre, and says that she likes to return to the stage. In addition, she loves Indian cinema, and admires the industry bollywood. "If I have the opportunity - I'd love to do all points of the globe, including in India," she says.
And in Hollywood it is not going to move. "I love London, " says Gemma, " And besides, I just need to live in a place where I'm constantly surrounded by ordinary people. In the end, I sometimes just want to go to the pub. But perhaps in Hollywood remained normal pubs? "
