Gemma Arterton turns 30 on Tuesday (2 February) and we can’t think of a better way to celebrate her birthday than to watch one of, if not all of her best films. From the star-studded The Boat That Rocked to children’s guilty pleasure St. Trinian’s, she’s appeared in a lot of titles considering she only really rose to fame less than 10 years ago.

She even played a Bond girl in the 2008 film Quantum Of Solace, so there’s bound to be something to suit everyone who wants to share in her special day.

It’s good to be back!!! Unfortunately, last August our host which had gloriously hosted us for over 7 years told us on a very short notice that they’d close doors. We were left without an online home and had to find another one. When we did, we couldn’t make the old thumbnails show up properly. You’ll probably notice that. But we decide to reopen the site anyway, while we try to fix the old thumbnails and other issues that we might have to deal with. So, please, bear with us and wish us a warm welcome back and keep coming back for your Gemma Arterton fix! In the meantime, I’ve added scans from 2015 that weren’t in our gallery yet. Enjoy! :D

There might be an evil talking cat in their new comedy horror ‘The Voices,’ but star Gemma Arterton and her director Marjane Satrapi explain why they prefer cats over dogs.

Added in the gallery new production stills and a promotional poster for The Voices. Enjoy!
