Hayley Atwell - Film - Brideshead Revisited

• Brideshead Revisited will open the Locarno Film Festival on 6 August [link]


• Matthew Goode and Hayley were at an advance screening, where there was a Q&A [link].

Hopefully more screenings reports will be in the blogosphere over the next week or so - Miramax has been putting on advance screenings in selected cities.


• A short article from WENN:
  

  Emma Thompson prepared for her role as a matriarch in forthcoming film Brideshead Revisited by cooking "family" meals for her co-stars.
  
  The actress plays Lady Marchmain in the new film version of the novel, and became a "mother" for the film's other actors by inviting them to her London home for dinner.
  
  Hayley Atwell, who plays Thompson's daughter Julia, says, "She would have us round to her house and we'd stand in the kitchen as she prepared these delicious Sunday roasts. It was her way of getting us all to bond as a family for the film."

  
  Speaking of food, isn't it an outrage that Miramax asked Hayley to lose weight for the film?! Emma Thompson found out and threatened to quit the film, thus saving Hayley from becoming a skinny creature. (Emma Thompson ftmfw y/y?) I think this story was initially reported in The First Post [link].



• An interview from That Indie Film Show:
  

I made some screenshots of Hayley from the film's official site [link], they should be up in a few days.
