The post ❤10 BEST ON SCREEN COUPLES❤ appeared first on Wonderland.

You play Biddy in the new Great Expectations, can you tell us about your character?

She’s formative of Pip; she grows up with him and teaches him, but he goes off to find his great expectations, and leave his humble beginnings for bigger and better things seemingly, but eventually he comes back. She’s very loyal and very nice and gentle and quite simple, really, in comparison to what London offered.

On paper it seems like Great Expectations was a sort of Harry Potter reunion, what with Ralph Fiennes, Robbie Coltrane and Helena Bonham carter starring alongside you. Did you get a chance to catch up?

On big films, it looks like that but you never really see anyone! sometimes you cross paths so that’s nice, to know that you were all a part of the same thing, which I get a kick out of, but on paper its staggering how many crossovers there are.

Your younger sister Bebe, plays the young Biddy in the film, where you around to watch any of her scenes?

No I wasn’t! She did so well; she’s actually in it more than me, it’s been such a lovely journey for both of us.

What was it like to work with Mike Newell?

He’s such a big personality, he’s lovely! To be around him is really exciting. I kind of do this really awful thing where I fall in love with every single director I work with; I was kind of infatuated with him for a little.

You seem to have an affinity with playing literary characters, what with Harry Potter and now Great Expectations. If there was one character from a book that you could play, which would it be and why?

I think I’d like to play Miss Trunchball from Matilda; it’s the only book I’ve ever read more than once. I thought the film was brilliant, in that she is just amazing, I think they should make a Miss Trunchball spinoff film.

You’ve also started doing stand-up, is it daunting putting yourself up there like that, I can imagine stand up as being quite an intimidating medium.

Book Club was really me doing stand-up in this guise so I was safe, but with stand-up you’re really vulnerable and exposed. I’m doing it for different reasons, which is incredibly indulgent but that’s the nature of stand-up in itself. I feel I’m a writer more than an actress, so it’s a way of testing out my writing, doing jokes I couldn’t get into my videos. it’s funny because nearly every show I’ve done I’ve been one of the few women, and it’s just nice to just be trying because so much stuff is just so bad, I’m not saying that I’m good at all, I’m probably horrendous, but I’m just trying everything I can, just trying to use my skills, whatever they are.

You took your one-woman show to Edinburgh earlier in the year, which again was focused around books and literature. Where did that idea come from?

Every Harry Potter fan I have met has been bizarre, but in the most wonderful way, book fans in general. It’s just a perfect breeding ground for comedy. I’m a very keen person by nature anything I love, I tend to get obsessed with. It’s not me making fun of fans of Harry Potter, Twilight, Hunger Games, not at all; It’s being one of them. It’s the launch of a book club but there’s a massive underlying storyline of rejection and heartbreak, so it was a good therapy for me and it was incredibly fun because I got to use all my art.

Pin Dippy videos; is it handy having a sister who can act?

I use her in everything! She’s in Bookworm, so we’ve had a really lovely year on stage together. With Edinburgh I went up with my entire family, like my mum did props, my brother did sound, Bebe was in the show, it was a bit like the Brady Bunch; The Brady Bunch go to Edinburgh! So she’s very useful, and she’s annoyingly good!

Great Expectations is out now in cinemas.

So you read the script for The Woman in Black when you were on the plane just after finishing the final Potter scenes, is that right?

Yes. We finished filming on the 29th June and I read the script on the way back to America – four hours after we did the last shot. I think the reason why I was so excited by the script was that I’d never envisaged myself doing horror – it was never something I gravitated towards particularly. The fact that I’d enjoyed the script was even more exciting, because it was so unexpected. Also I think it’s testament to Jane’s [Goldman – screenwriter and wife of Jonathan Ross] writing skills that I read the script in an hour, especially as it’s mainly stage direction and not much dialogue. So I read the script, knew it was an interesting part and asked of me things I hadn’t done before, and met the director, James [Watkins], who I immediately felt I had a connection with in terms of sharing a strong vision for the film.

Had you seen the original stage play?

No, I never went to that school trip! Everyone else I know had seen it on a school trip and, for reasons I need not go into, I wasn’t at school very much. I’d only read [Susan Hill’s] book after I finished the script, too. I still haven’t seen it, but I now will. I stayed away from the TV movie, because I copy and I knew I needed to stay away from it in order to enable me to give an interpretation of my own.

What intrigued you about the nature of the role? You’re playing a man older than you – was taking it on a statement about where you want to go with your career post-Potter?

Yeah. I mean I was never under any illusions that this would be the one film that people would suddenly go “oh, he’s no longer Harry Potter.” I don’t think that’s going to happen, but I certainly think it’ll start that. I look very different in this film and think it’s a different type of performance that I give. When I play Harry, my own natural energy and attack is very useful because that’s how Harry is as well. But with a part like this, it was about trying to suppress and completely deaden my natural energy and give the look of someone who has had the vitality taken out of him by the circumstances of his life. So those were the kinds of things I was concentrating on – I didn’t think at the time really about how much it would distance me.

Did you have lots of scripts sent to you when you were finishing Potter?

By the end, there were certainly two or three that we were looking at, but this came to the top of the pile as soon as it arrived because it was the best, most complete film script I’d read. It also had the most realistic chance of filming soon, so everything about it was perfect.

Did the notion that it was produced by Hammer appeal to you?

Yes – I’m someone who’s very proud to have worked in the British film industry all my life, and to be involved in a very important piece of British film history. Dracula used to be our end-of-term film at school, too.

What’s next?

I’m starting a film in March, which I think will be a thirty day shoot, called Kill Your Darlings which is about a murder that turned out to be the catalyst for The Beat Generation. I’ll be playing a 19-year-old Allen Ginsberg. Ultimately, I’d love to pursue directing, especially as I’ve spent so much time on film sets – I know how they work and I love them and love leading them.

How did you go about preparing for the role? You spoke to a psychologist as part of your research for it…

Luckily I’ve never be bereaved – but it’s something that…you’re never going to fully imagine that mindset. So I spoke to a grief counselor – particularly as I was interested in the idea that if your wife dies during childbirth, how it effects the relationship you have with your son or daughter. Would there be resentment there? The answer I got was a definite “yes.” And then I read a couple of books – one was A Grief Observed by C.S. Lewis and another was called You’ll Get Over It, which is an amazing book about the grieving process. It was about furnishing yourself with as much information as you could so that on set, rather than have to consciously think about it, the information would inform your choices as you went along.
