DOCTOR WHO - WHAT'S ON TV (UK): Karen Gillan on 'the huge pay-off' in Doctor Who

Jun 2, 2011

Karen Gillan talks to TV & Satellite Week magazine about the dramatic mid-series finale of Doctor Who, screening on BBC1 on Saturday, June 4.

[NOTE: Airs Saturday, June 11 at 9/8C on BBC America.]

... Q: Is this episode where we find out who River Song is, too?

Karen Gillan: "Yes, this is the episode where it is finally revealed from way back when we met her with David Tennant. It is just such a huge pay-off and I didn’t see it coming actually. I was really, really shocked and it was really worth investing all that time into it in the past."

Q: Your mum is a massive Doctor Who fan - does she think it has got scarier?

Karen Gillan: "She hasn’t mentioned that, but I am all for it getting scarier. I think kids just go with it and it is the adults going, ‘Ooh is this too much?’ It’s like when you go on a fairground ride, you go on it to have the thrill of being scared so it is a good thing. I just think Steven Moffat is so good at tapping into what connects with children and he lets his kids watch it so that is how he measures it, I guess, and they are fine..."

CAMELOT = GUARDIAN (UK): Eva Green interview: Playing evil

Eva Green rose to fame as the Bond girl who won the heart of 007 in Casino Royale. Now she's back in more familiar territory as the elemental, mysterious Morgan in Camelot, she tells Elizabeth Day – dabbling in witchcraft and reinventing nudity...

by Elizabeth Day
Sunday 5 June 2011

It is a sunny, blue-sky day when I meet the actress Eva Green. The London streets are peppered with cherry blossom and the heady scent of fake tan hangs thickly above the city like ozone. It is a day for white linen and flowing dresses and flip-flops. But when Green arrives, it is clear that she is not embracing the joys of spring time. Her tiny frame is swathed in black and dark grey and she is wearing a heavy coat over a lace blouse, jeans and boots. The pale flawlessness of her face is accentuated by jet-black hair and smudged eye-shadow the colour of coal dust. The overall effect is rather striking: a cross between Miss Havisham and an astonishingly beautiful extra from Twilight.

"I have a dark side in the way I think everybody has," Green says, taking off her sunglasses. She orders a disappointingly tame berry smoothie rather than a cup of virgin's blood. Yet she acknowledges that, professionally speaking, she is drawn to roles that are "evil but damaged. It's fun to play evil". She looks at me calmly with blue eyes. "I like characters that have secrets. It's nice not to know it all. Complex is interesting..."

Photobucket

... But Green's latest role remains true to type: she plays Morgan, the feisty, power-hungry half-sister of King Arthur in Channel 4's forthcoming mini-series Camelot. As it is produced by the same team behind The Tudors, viewers can look forward to the Arthurian legends being glossily re-worked with lots of heaving bosoms, macho sword-play and fetchingly designed velvet robes. Green herself gets an energetic sex scene with James Purefoy in the first episode.

"We filmed that sex scene in the morning. I was like, 'Oh my God, I'd like to have a drink. Could we not do it at the end of the day?' But the sex scene is for a reason. It's a fight for power.

"Actually it's very interesting," she continues, "because the Pagan women were strong, empowered and not afraid to be sexual. They used to celebrate nature and sexuality. When Christianity arrived, it became a bit taboo."

She threw herself into research for the part, dabbling in Wiccan magic – "It's not like Walt Disney" – and consulting a shaman, who told her the animal she most resembled was a crane. "I said: 'What – I'm not a tiger?'" she laughs. "Actually I'm probably most like a black poodle."

She was attracted to Morgan because, unlike the majority of mainstream female movie roles on offer, "it's not a girlfriend role… she's strong, she has more courage than most men. She's not afraid at all..."

In the UK, amelot starts on 11 June on Channel 4 at 9.20pm.

In the US, the season one finale, "Reckoning," airs Friday, June 10, 2011 on Starz.

Actor Lou Diamond Phillips is the ‘King’s’ main man

By ROBERT TRUSSELL
Sat, Jun. 04, 2011

... But this week Phillips is focused on “The King and I,” the Rodgers and Hammerstein classic about the relationship between the King of Siam and the English tutor he hires to school his many children.

“I remember when they first called me to do it on Broadway I thought, ‘Wow, that’s kind of a musty old chestnut,’ ” Phillips said. “But then I read it. I was so struck by how timely and timeless it is, how dark it is in places, how sexy it is, and how funny.

“I immediately put it in the pantheon of American Shakespeare, and it should be done over and over again. It talks about imperialism, misogyny, sexism, racism. There are some beautiful ideas to be thought about. The themes in ‘The King and I’ are as relevant today as they ever were.”

... “I feel very possessive of this role now,” Phillips said. “It’s just sort of fun to lay claim to this role. I’m up to 550 performances now.”

... And Phillips thinks he might be able to bring a greater depth to the piece than he did in the ’90s. He’s not the same guy.

“When I first did it, I didn’t have any children,” he said. “I was 35. Now I’m 49. I have four daughters. I see the world differently now. I wouldn’t want to go back and just do it by rote. I want to find out how my life can enrich the character. … I love this role. I love King Arthur. Both those roles bring tears to my eyes. They’re iconic characters.

“A lot of people forget that it really is that moving. It is that touching. It’s not some little bon mot of a play. It’s got depth and feeling in it. And every song is a classic.”

THIS WEEK
“The King and I” opens Monday and runs through Sunday at Starlight Theatre. Call 816-363-7827 or go to www.kcstarlight.com.
