First “Frankenstein” Pictures + Reviews

As you all know, Naomie is currently starring in “Frankenstein” at the National Theatre with Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller. She plays Elizabeth Lavenza, Dr. Frankenstein’s doomed fiancée. I believe she only has a couple of scenes but has gotten some pretty good reviews so far. Since this is her first big play Naomie appreciates this: “I can hide. It’s not the lead. Jonny [Lee Miller] and Benedict [Cumberbatch] are carrying the show.”

For a round-up of all the “Frankenstein” Reviews visit Whatsonstage.Com. To read an interview with Naomie about the play click here.

A couple of pictures from the show have already been added to the gallery:

Naomie in “Dark Tower” Trilogy ?

The New York Post is reporting that

“Pirates of the Caribbean” beauty Naomie Harris is being considered for the female lead in the Ron Howard‘s eagerly anticipated “Dark Tower” trilogy.

Based on Stephen King‘s western fantasy series which stretches out over many books, the “Dark Tower” Hollywood project is already being hyped as the next big thing and Page Six reports that “agents are tripping over themselves to land their clients coveted roles in what promises to be a blockbuster film and television franchise.”

Because of the sheer volume of material to work with the story will not only be told in three feature films but the time between the films will be bridged by two television series with the same actors.

Front runner for the male lead seems to be Javier Bardem. To find out more about the “Dark Tower” series please visit Wikipedia.

“Accused” Preview

BBC has released a new preview for next week’s episode of “Accused”. ‘Alison’s Story’ will be on next Monday, December 20.

Naomie Part of new ‘Frankenstein’ Play

It was recently announced that Naomie will play Elizabeth Lavenza in Nick Dear’s new ‘Frankenstein’ play. For the production, which will be at the Olivier Theatre, Naomie will reunite with her ‘Small Island’ co-star Benedict Cumberbatch. Cumberbatch and actor Jonny Lee Miller will share the lead role of Victor Frankenstein.

The play will run from February to April 2010 and you can already get your tickets at the National Theatre website.

Also, don’t forget to catch Naomie’s episode of ‘Accused’ entitled ‘Alison’s Story’ on BBC next Monday!

‘Accused’ Premieres Next Week

The BBC recently announced that “Accused”, their new drama series following people accused of crimes as each awaits the verdict of their trial, will premiere on BBC One on Monday, November 15, 2010- which is next week!

Naomie takes the lead in the sixth and final episode. So we’ll have to wait five more weeks to see her. She will play Alison Wade, a mother of two, who is facing serious charges and is in a state of shock and disbelief.

“Alison is a fantastic leading female role – a gift to any actress”, Naomie says of her character.

“I’m quite sure the story will take the audience on a huge roller-coaster of a ride with their emotions and allegiances’ swinging between Alison and her husband, David, as their marriage disintegrates and they become pitted against each other.”
