Olivia in Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll  
(Because really, I love Olivia Williams as much as I love Reed Diamond)

I knew that Olivia Williams is in the Ian Dury biopic, but I didn't realize that her name will be with Andy Serkis on the poster and be in the trailer<-- yes, you read that right, she's in the trailer.




Here's the youtube link to the page in case the embedded vid doesn't work for you.

Also: Olivia Williams' worst Christmas present as told to The Guardian

and

She's nominated for the 30th London Film Critics’ Circle Awards. Her co-star in An Education, Rosamund Pike is also nominated in the same category (British Actress in a Supporting Role)

(I made an Olivia Williams tag, btw. :D)
 
 
Music: Unbreak My Heart (Regresa a Mi) - Il Divo

OH, MAN, this is gonna be amazing. Olivia! Yey! :D

I'm also a wee bit obsessed with Rosamund Pike right now, so In Education will be so AWESOME. Congrats to them both!

You know what's weird? Olivia Williams was offered the part of Miranda Frost in Die Another Day before it went to Rosamund Pike. lawlz

SERIOUSLY?! My mind just turned to mush-- though I haven't seen Die Another Day yet, haha. I must remedy this.

OH MAN. I am such a sucker for British actresses.

I love the fencing scene in Die Another Day... <3 The only thing I didn't like was casting Halle Berry. Heh.

FENCING!!! ahem.

I'm not a big James Bond fan (not to mention not being a big fan of Pierce or of Halle) and really, the only one I watched was Tomorrow Never Dies coz I love me some Michelle Yeoh.

I will scrounge up a copy of Die Another Day like naow.

I don't think they have a scene together, but from what I've heard they both steal every scene they're in.

Well, I noticed that I post a lot of Reed in the comm but no Olivia. Lawlz.

Oh my god! Top billing! In the trailer! And Noel Clark? Uh-huh, I'm definitely seeing this moment it comes out.

When I saw Noel Clark, I was all, "Hey, it's Mickey from Doctor Who!"

I hope they show this in our country. :-S They haven't shown An Education here yet. :(

I saw the poster for this film when I was on the tube the other day and when I saw that Olivia Williams was billed I was all giddy but there was no one to share this with - until now!

*squees with you*

I like watching biopics, except that they always end with someone dying. or something jubilant but with an end note that that person died on *insert date here* because of *reason of death*

pszfth. biopics.

Let's just say I was pleasantly surprised when I saw her in the trailer. I didn't expect her to be in it that long or be in top billing. Hee. <3

I am waiting for an Education to come out on DVD but I am so looking forward to seeing Olivia in other roles.

If any of you haven't I highly recommend that you see the movie The Postman. Olivia is amazing. You see what I can only define as some early Adelle in her.
