AV CLUB: Eva Green Interview
by Sam Adams April 14, 2011
In 2007, Eva Green was poised for stardom. After roles in Ridley Scott’s Crusades epic Kingdom Of Heaven and opposite rebooted Bond Daniel Craig in Casino Royale, and with the big-budget franchise-starter The Golden Compass on the way, she was riding high. But even if Compass hadn’t tanked, that likely wouldn’t have changed her plans. She probably still would have gone on to a series of eccentric, low-profile features—Franklyn, Womb, the newly released Cracks, and the upcoming Perfect Sense—that are still finding their way to these shores. She hasn’t turned her back on the mainstream, as her role as the villainess Morgan in Starz’ overheated Camelot attests; but she’d sooner take interesting roles than high-profile ones. Shortly before Cracks’ release, Green called The A.V. Club to talk about exploring her dark side, the difference between Bond and Bertolucci, and her reaction to the anti-Semitic remarks of designer John Galliano, for whom she once modeled...
... AVC: Camelot is a different proposition, but there’s a similar level of obsession to Morgan.
EG: Obsession with the throne maybe, yeah. She’s very determined, she has one goal: to get the throne no matter what. It’s not just to get the throne for the sake of it; she wants to be a good queen also, and to restore the pagan belief. She’s a very strong woman, kind of a Joan of Arc. Maybe in the first episode you think that she’s evil, full stop, but there’s much more behind that façade.
