New Interview

Friday, May 28th, 2010

I’ve found a new very cute interview when Hayley was at the BAFTA Television Craft Awards, she talks about Captain America and how she is getting on with the preparation for the film with co-star Chris Evans.

Gallery Update

I’ve added captures of The Pillars of the Earth preview in the previous post, still as excited as I was about seeing it. Also I’ve added two photoshoots, one that’s been on my computer for a while and a new one with Hayley’s Prisoner co-star Ruth Wilson.

Two New Projects

Sunday, March 28th, 2010

After a dry spell of news of late I am happy to say that it’s now known for sure the two projects (that she had hinted at earlier) are to be. (with thanks to the Daily Mail)

First off is Born Yesterday where Hayley will co-star against Chris Noth (known for Mr Big in Sex and the City). Hayley will play Billie Dawn and the synophsis is such:

An uncouth, corrupt tycoon, Harry Brock, brings his showgirl mistress Billie Dawn with him to Washington, D.C. When Billie’s ignorance becomes a liability to Brock’s business dealings, he hires a journalist, Paul Verrall, to educate his girlfriend. In the process of learning, Billie Dawn realizes how corrupt her boyfriend is and begins interfering with his plans to bribe a Congressman into passing legislation that would allow Brock’s business to make more money.

Hayley hasn’t done comedy before, so I’ll look forward to reviews of the play when it premieres.

Secondly is a television adaption of Any Human Heart where she’ll co-star with Matthew MacFayden and Jim Broadbent. The adaption will follow the ‘fictional life of writer Logan Mountstuart, a Zelig-like figure who pops up just as momentous events throughout the 20th century are unfolding’. Hayley will play Freya, Mountstuart’s muse, mistress and second wife.

Laurence Olivier Awards

Wednesday, March 24th, 2010

On Sunday night it was the Laurence Olivier Awards where Hayley was nominated for Best Actress in a Supporting Role. The winner was her The Prisoner co-star Ruth Wilson, who is also a good friend of hers so I hope that she’s not too disappointed. Although she did attend on the night looking stunning.

Also I’ve found a video of her at the Nomination Lunch for the Awards that was a few weeks ago where she talks about her future plans (one movie to film soon and broadway!) – overall a good watch here.

Laurence Olivier Awards

Monday, February 8th, 2010

It has come to my attention that Hayley has been nominated for a Laurence Olivier Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in A View from the Bridge. Being such a prestigious award for theatre I’m sure that Hayley is estatic about the news and I give the best of luck to her. The full nominees are as follows:

  • Hayley Atwell for A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE at the Duke of York’s
  • Rachael Stirling for THE PRIORY at the Jerwood Theatre Downstairs at the Royal Court
  • Keira Knightley for THE MISANTHROPE at the Comedy
  • Alexandra Gilbreath for TWELFTH NIGHT at the Duke of York’s
  • Michelle Dockery for BURNT BY THE SUN at the Lyttelton
  • Ruth Wilson for A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE at the Donmar
