In just a few short years, she’s become one of Britain’s hottest young actresses. From parts in the Bond movie Quantum Of Solace to the blockbusting Clash Of The Titans and the British drama Tamara Drewe, Gemma Arterton has become a name on everyone’s lips.

Now the 25-year-old from Gravesend, Kent, lends her voice to the animated fantasy A Turtle’s Tale. Here, Gemma talks about her career and discusses what the future holds.

Did you identify with your character Shelley from A Turtle’s Tale?

Absolutely. If I was a turtle I’d be like her. When I filmed this I was doing a play so it was nice to do the complete opposite. Dominic Cooper, who does the voice of Sammy, is a friend of mine and we worked together on Tamara Drewe. He recommended me for the role. I was very grateful as I’ve always wanted to do an animation. For us it was just Dominic and Gemma swimming in the ocean. Read the rest of this entry »

We already knew that Gemma and her Tess of the D’Urbervilles co-star Eddie Redmayne are friends in real life. It’s always nice to see that their friendship still remains strong. Eddie mentioned Gemma and her sister Hannah in an interview for London’s Evening Standard today. Arterton told the Evening Standard Magazine back in 2008 that Redmayne’s Now or Later was one of the best pieces of theatre she’s ever seen.

Which is your favourite pub?
My local, The Gladstone, has live music. I saw Gemma Arterton’s sister Hannah perform there.

There is a moment in the film Tamara Drewe when the sultry Gemma Arterton wears a tight red top and a skimpy pair of hotpants. It’s a deeply provocative image that was used on the poster for the film in France.

Her new film project is as intriguing as Arterton herself. In the film, which is a celluloid version of Posy Simmonds’ cult cartoon novel, Arterton plays the eponymous lead, a girl who leaves rural Dorset to seek fame as a journalist, only to return to her childhood home when her mother dies.

Central to the plot is Drewe’s reinvention of herself. As a schoolgirl, she was a dowdy, almost ugly, girl with a huge nose. Arterton had to wear a prosthetic nose and greasy hair. Her return as a beautiful femme fatale was as unexpected as it was electrifying, but through flashbacks we learn that the catalyst for her transformation from caterpillar to butterfly was a nose job that transformed her looks and bolstered her confidence.

She’s one of British cinema’s hottest young things and her latest film looks set to cement her reputation as a smouldering sexpot. But, finds Rob Driscoll, Gemma Arterton has a lot more going for her than that

As entrances go, Gemma Arterton’s arrival as the title character of her new movie Tamara Drewe is a memorable one – dressed as she is in a tiny pair of denim shorts which leave little to the imagination.

Then, having sashayed along a country lane in the rear-hugging cut-offs, she is then required to climb over a stile – much to the fascination of a handful of goggle-eyed local yokels.

The scene is both sexy and hilarious – and will undeniably send 24-year-old Arterton’s rating on the radar of her adoring male fanbase hurtling even higher. Read the rest of this entry »

I’ve scanned the German DVD cover and booklet of Tess of the D’Urbervilles, and there’s a gorgeous new pic with Gemma and James McAvoy from last year’s Empire Awards. :D

Planeta Disney has released a new international poster for Disney’s big 2010 release — Prince of Persia: Sands of Time. The poster is definitely stylistic graphically and is trying to push the film’s style across visually while trying to hint that the story is epic. It is also obvious from the poster’s style that the same team that did the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy are in full force.

In other news, I’ve added a beautiful new still from Tess.

Gemma revealed her demanding role in Tess of the d’Urbervilles ‘unlocked’ her acting passion.

She explained: “I went to drama school for three years and I kind of tried all these different methods and never really felt like I was getting anywhere.

“And then it was actually Tess that unlocked something in me. I became like a crying wreck – I couldn’t stop crying all the time. And then on the next film I did, Prince of Persia (with Jake Gyllenhaal), they kept saying to me, ‘Why are you crying all the time?’ I couldn’t get rid of Tess!”
