IMDb updated Gemma Arterton’s filmography with a new project dating from 2009: a short film called Perfect, directed by Christopher “Chris” Obi. Gemma plays Poppy.

Synopsis: The innocent destruction of a Perfect soul. Adam is poor, physically disabled, lives with an embittered father (Jacques), a sickly companion (Tora) and a relentless bickering couple (Fergus and Ike). Adam saves Lost Souls. Liberty is affluent, beautiful, lives with her handsome husband-to-be (Paul), surrounded by chic friends (Poppy, Pascal and Misty) and is courted by the press. Liberty’s Soul needs saving. A sometimes fantastical love story set in Notting Hill, Perfect tells the story of what happens when Adam and Liberty’s path cross in a hospital and how consequentially their worlds impact on each other.

Warner Bros. Pictures has launched two online games–”Scorpioch Attack” and “Medusa’s Curse”–at the official website for Clash of the Titans, opening in 3D and 2D theaters on April 2. You can play the two games here!

Directed by Louis Leterrier, the film stars Sam Worthington, Liam Neeson, Ralph Fiennes, Danny Huston, Gemma Arterton, Mads Mikkelsen, Jason Flemyng, Alexa Davalos, Izabella Miko, Nicholas Hoult and Pete Postlethwaite.

Jake Gyllenhaal spoke with MTV News on the red carpet at the 82nd annual Academy Awards. He talked about “Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time,” director Mike Newell’s adaptation of the video-game series of the same name. “You have no idea of what you’re going to see,” the actor teased. “It’s really good.”

Despite Gyllenhaal’s endorsement of “Prince of Persia,” most films based on video games have been met with harsh reviews from both critics and fans alike. But according to the actor, “Prince of Persia” is going to change that trend.

“I’m going to say right now that this will reinvent video-game adaptations,” he declared. “This will finally pull off what people hoped that video-game adaptations [are capable of].”

FemaleFirst reports the recent words pronounced by Gemma Arterton on her ‘former’ role as Cathy in Wuthering Heights:

Gemma Arterton is not starring in a big screen remake of Wuthering Heights.
It had been reported that Arterton was all set to star as Catherine Earnshaw in the Andrea Arnold directed movie alongside Ed Westwick as Heathcliff.
Speaking to MSN.com the actress said:”I was hoping that that would work out, but actually she’s looking for a pure Yorkshire lass – so any Yorkshire lasses out there who want to be Cathy in Wuthering Heights, she’s doing open auditioning.”
She added: “I think she [Arnold] will make the best Wuthering Heights film ever, she’s such an amazing director.”

Armani has lent its sartorial edge to the West End, dressing the cast of The Little Dog Laughed starring Tamsin Greig, Gemma Arterton, Harry Lloyd and Rupert Friend at the Garrick Theatre. The play, written by Douglas Carter Beane, is as sharp as the attire and brilliantly funny.

Keira Knightley’s other half Rupert Friend leads the cast playing a homosexual actor reluctant to admit his sexuality to the world. Tamsin Greig, as his agent, has perfect comic timing, whilst Gemma Arterton – playing Friend’s wife – proves that her acting credentials go far beyond “former Bond girl”.

The costumes by Armani come from the brand’s Emporio Armani collection and are a mixture of archive pieces from previous seasons.

Actress Gemma Arterton says she has fallen for life on the West End stage after starring in blockbuster hits.

Arterton, 24, has already appeared in big-screen hits such as St Trinian’s, Bond film Quantum of Solace opposite Daniel Craig and Prince of Persia: The Sands Of Time.

She recently made her stage debut in the play The Little Dog Laughed at the Garrick Theatre where she stars with Tamsin Greig, Harry Lloyd and Keira Knightley’s boyfriend Rupert Friend.

She told UK newspaper the Daily Express: ‘I really love coming back to the stage.

‘It is a much more rounded experience to working in films, which can be quite airy fairy, although working with Jake Gyllenhaal was great. He is lovely.’

Fish Tank director Andrea Arnold has taken over the reins of the new film adaptation of Wuthering Heights.

Director Peter Webber left the project back in December, meaning cast Gemma Arterton and Gossip Girl’s Ed Westwick officially had nobody to yell at them from behind the camera.

Arnold, who won an Oscar back in 2005 for her short film Wasp, will be adding her version of Heights to the numerous others, including the Laurence Olivier classic from 1939, and Ralph Fiennes’ stab back in 1992.

Gemma Arterton stars alongside Tamsin Greig, Rupert Friend and Harry Lloyd in the West End’s hilarious comedy, The Little Dog Laughed, about the superficial world of show business and the game playing of the movie industry.

GMTV are giving away a trip to see Gemma in The Little Dog Laughed to one lucky person. This amazing prize includes two tickets to the show plus one night’s accommodation including breakfast and dinner at the luxury Trafalgar Hilton.

Rising film star, Mitchell Green, is every girl’s fantasy and soon to become a household name, thanks to his devilish agent Diane. With Mitchell on the brink of superstardom, Diane encounters one teensy-weensy obstacle – she can’t seem to keep her leading man in the closet.

With Mitchell’s new ‘friend’ Alex on the scene, and Alex’s beautiful girlfriend Ellen (yes he has a girlfriend!) causing a drama of her own, what lengths will Mitchell go to play the part? And will there be a Hollywood ending when the final credits role?

For your chance to win this prize, simply answer the question here.

Keira Knightley will not play Eliza Doolittle in the new movie version of My Fair Lady.

The Oscar-nominated actress, currently energising the London theatre scene with her stage debut in The Misanthrope at the Comedy Theatre, has withdrawn herself from consideration for the role created by Audrey Hepburn in the landmark film based on the Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe musical.

Over a period of two years, the 24-year-old star met producers Cameron Mackintosh and Duncan Kenworthy to discuss the possibility of playing the Covent Garden flower girl who becomes a Maycould fair lady after she meets Professor Henry Higgins.

According to this article Gemma’s grandmother passed away last night. We want to express how sorry we are for Gemma’s loss, and that our thoughts are with her and her family.

“Clash of the Titans” hits theaters on March 26, 2010. It will be director Louis Leterrier’s follow-up to the 2008 Marvel Comics flick “The Incredible Hulk” and only his fourth feature as a director (“Transporter 2″ and the Jet Li-starring “Unleashed” being the other two). Leterrier has honed his craft quite a bit through the years, and all signs suggest that “Clash” will be his biggest and best effort yet.

That said, there are still a few burning questions that fans want some answers on. The massive success of “Avatar,” which also stars “Clash” lead Sam Worthington, has left many people wondering if the movie will be in 3-D. In fact, Worthington even mentioned the possibility of a 3-D release in a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times. There’s also news that emerged earlier this week that British rock group Muse had been asked to score the movie. It’s something they were interested in doing, frontman Matt Bellamy said in an interview with the Daily Star.

In an interview with MTV News earlier today (part of a longer upcoming feature we’ll be posting on Louis’ big year) Leterrier set the record straight at last on the 3-D and soundtrack rumors.
