August 18th, 2010 >> Press, cheaters, transmission

Talulah’s upcoming film formerly named “Cheaters”, is now listed on IMDB as “The Dilemma”. Talulah has also been listed as playing the role of “Concept Car Spokesmodel”. Inteeeresting. The movie has a 2011 release date and is summarized as “A man discovers that his best friend’s wife is having an affair.” Other actors include Hollywood heavyweights Jennifer Connelly, Vince Vaughn, Queen Latifah, Channing Tatum, Winona Ryder and more!

EDIT: There is also lots of buzz circulating on Talulah’s other upcoming film, “Transmission”. Here’s more about the plot, cast members, and possible director:

Bob Hoskins, Jason Flemying and Talulah Riley are set and Willem Dafoe is in talks to star in a new alien invasion pic titled “Transmission”.

The film, Moviehole has learnt, is being developed by Gold Films (who are Giles Alderson with his writing, producing partner Martin Owen) and is a British sci-fi feature being shot in 3D and centered around an alien invasion during an solar eclipse. The film is described as “Pitch Black meets 28 Days Later”.

Roger Christian, the Oscar Winning art director of “Star Wars”, is in talks to direct the film. {moviehole.net}

Word on the street is that a new sci-fi invasion story is on the way to our big screens. Bob Hoskins (Hollywoodland), Jason Flemyng (Clash of the Titans) and Talulah Riley (St. Trinian’s) have signed on to star in Transmission – another film that will be shot in 3D. Rumor has it Willem Dafoe may also join force.

The alien film will focus on an invasion taking place during a solar eclipse. Now we do like a good alien film, and we do love my sci- fi – IF they’re any good! So we will be keeping a close eye on this one. We also adore fellow brit, Talulah Riley and think this could be a nice change for her, so… stay posted! {thefancarpet.com}

Which movie are you more excited for? Personally I can’t wait for both, but how cool would it be to see Talulah in 3-D :D !?

I’ve capped Talulah’s role in Dr. Who episode “Silence in the Library.” Talulah playa Miss Evangelista – a space agey ditz who is an assistant to a group of scientists who treat her badly. She has a very unfortunate ending. Talulah’s hilarious, I’ll add the video soon! Thanks to Jazzy.

New Interview

July 26th, 2010 >> Inception, The Summer House

 Monsters and Critics has done an interview with Talulah, and she talks about The Summer House and Inception. Here’s the interview:

Monsters and Critics – There are just 12 minutes to get to know Jane in Summer House. But you made her a dimensional person – how?

Talulah Riley – Daisy spent a lot of time with Rob and me discussing the back-story, so we were aware of our characters situations and the decisions they’d made to get them to the point where the audience meets them, in the film. Action is character, as they say, so just knowing that my character was the type of girl who would have to run away to France to get over a break-up, gave me a good place to start.

M&C – How did you get to ‘know’ her? What did you work on to determine what was she like, and what she thought, who she was?

TR – I was lucky enough to be given a copy of the book The Summer House, by the writer Ian Beck. This really helped me with the characterization. Prose is good for filling in the details – especially when there is very little dialogue.

M&C – The Summer House is set in the free love era. How free was Jane?

TR – Although the film is set in the Swinging 60’s, Jane isn’t really that into free love. She’s more of a true romantic – idealistic, gentle, loyal, and intensely hurt by her lover’s betrayal.
M&C – Your Summer House lover, Robert Pattinson has been struck by a movie supernova. Did you work together during or before Twilight?

TR – I worked with Rob before Twilight. I’m very happy for his success. It couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy. He’s a lovely actor and a lovely friend.

M&C – Is he a good kisser? Neck nuzzler?

TR - He’s a very good neck nuzzler.
M&C – You’re the Blonde in the bar in Inception, who is she?

TR – My character in Inception is actually Tom Hardy’s dream character. Christopher Nolan is an awesome director. I admire all his work, and feel very fortunate to have worked with him.

M&C – What’s ahead for you?

TR – I had a small role in ‘Cheater’s’, Ron Howard’s new comedy, and I’m set to film a UK film, ‘Transmission’, later this year.

M&C – Does your job make it tough being in a relationship?

TR – I moved to the US for personal reasons, so it’s very important to me to try and get work over here. It’s difficult trying to establish a career out here, when none of my UK-based projects really carry over. I’m trying hard, though!

M&C – The world of exhibition is changing so much. The Summer House has just been released on iTunes. What kind of impact will non-conventional, non-theatrical releases have on the business?

TR – I think things like iTunes are great for the business. It means something like The Summer House, which would conventionally only have a very limited release, can be reached by a much larger audience. { Monsters and Critics }

Neck nuzzler, lol.

Talulah Riley: I have crush on Leo

July 15th, 2010 >> Press, cheaters, transmission

Here’s a new article with the press Association about how Talulah enjoyed working with Leonardo DiCaprio:


Talulah Riley has confessed to having a crush on her Inception co-star Leonardo DiCaprio.

The Boat That Rocked actress, who only has a small role in the sci-fi adventure, said: “He was really lovely and very good looking!”

Amid the red carpet hysteria, Talulah said she understood why fans couldn’t stop screaming for the superstar.

“I’m going to start myself in a minute,” she laughed.

Talulah said she struggled to look cool during their first meeting on set.

“It was very nice but we were in a fake bar that tilted at a 45 degree angle, so I was being propped up against a wall for half the time!” she said.

The actress revealed she could soon be fighting off little green men with Britain’s finest cockney action-export.

“In August/September I’ll be back in the UK to shoot a 3D alien film called Transmission. It’s being decided at the moment but I think it may be with Jason Statham,” she said.

I’ve went ahead and looked into Talulah’s new projects. There is really not too much out there about Transmission besides what Talulah’s told us – it will be a 3D alien film that she will be shooting it in the UK around August/September and may star fellow Brit actor Jason Statham (Transporter 3, Deathrace).

Talulah’s other new film, Cheaters is currently filming and is planned for a January 2011 release and is about a man who discovers that his best friend’s wife is having an affair. It stars tons of Hollywood heavy weights including Channing Tatum, Vince Vaughn, Winona Ryder and Kevin James, and possibly even Queen Latifah and Jennifer Connely!

The Summer House Released + Screencaps

Posted by: Alexx

July 14th, 2010 >> Gallery, The Summer House

The Summer House is now out on iTunes for the low price of just $1.99 :D . Talulah looks stunning (of course) as Jane Riley, a young girl who goes to a relative’s house in france over the summer of 1967 and is caught up with her ex boyfriend Richard (Robert pattinson). There is a party at the summer house during the launch of the first man on the moon, in which Jane has her first drink and has an unwanted re encounter with Richard. The cinematography is really well done, and the wardrobe is to die for!

MTV covers The Summer House + New pics!

Posted by: Alexx

July 9th, 2010 >> Gallery, Press, The Summer House

MTV has done an article with Summer House director Daisy Gili, and given us a high quality still and on-set pic!

…Rob’s costar Talulah Riley was best known for her work in Joe Wright’s “Pride & Prejudice,” and hadn’t yet starred in her big hit, “Pirate Radio” (known as “The Boat That Rocked” in the UK). Gili hired a cast director to find her an actress to play the short’s main character, Jane, and thought Talulah was the perfect fit.

“Talulah was amazing. The thing that I found most amazing about her was her versatility. You could give her a small amount of direction, and she would deliver a completely different but equally wonderful performance. I was like, wow,” said Gili.

But it was the chemistry between the two that really helped the film work. At 13 minutes in length, “The Summer House” follows Jane as she flees to France to stay with her aunt after her boyfriend Richard (Rob) dumps her for another girl. However, he follows her to the summer house to try to win her back and, on the night of the moon landing, tries to make his move. The result of his efforts helps Jane realize that — in Gili’s words — love isn’t black and white.

It was necessary to Gili to have the film set on the night of the moon landing because she felt everyone remembers where they were the night man landed on the moon, but the night was important for Jane because she realized that love was different and more complicated than she had always imagined. “I think you needed [something as momentous as] the moon landing to kind of help the slightness of the story become stronger,” she said.

The dresses are vintage 1960s as well because Gili borrowed them from her mother, though the gorgeous green dress Talulah wears at the end was a creation of their costume designer. The pearls she wears at the end of the film were borrowed by the French actress, Marianne Borgo, who plays her aunt in the film, just like Jane would have borrowed them from her aunt in the film.

“The Summer House” had its premiere at the Toronto Film Festival earlier this year, and is going to be offered for $1.99 on iTunes starting July 13 by Shorts International. It will next be shown at the Rushes Soho Short Film Festival later this month. {MTV}
