When I meet her, Macdonald is just about to do an extra day's shooting for Joe Wright's forthcoming adaptation of Tolstoy's Anna Karenina, scripted by Tom Stoppard and inevitably starring Keira Knightley in the title role opposite Jude Law's Alexei. "It's a bit embarrassing," she grimaces. "I'd said my goodbyes and got my scented candle and all that and now I have to go back and meet them all again."

Emily Watson has spoken to reporters about her appearance in Joe Wright's cinema-version of Anna Karenina, in which she stars alongside Jude Law and Keira Knightley. Although she only shares one screen with Keira, Emily has said that she was "absolutely delightful."

Emily is currently appearing in cinemas as part of the cast of War Horse, Steven Spielberg's latest blockbuster and according to the Press Association, enjoyed playing a character with a different side. She told reporters "It's a little role - small but pivotal. I play Countess Lidia, who is a right royal b****. It was fun to play." She also drew attention to the differences between working on Anna Karenina and Spielberg's set for War Horse, commenting "There's a real sense of company on Joe's set. He has music going, he's very chatty and friendly. The whole piece is set in a theatre and it had a real sense of theatre troupe about it." Set for release this year (2012), Anna Karenina also features Kelly Macdonald, Matthew Macfadyen and Olivia Williams.

Spoiler:

If Carl Grose wasn't quite so ugly I'd have a crush on him as he's Cornish and damn talented. The latest play by the Kneehigh scribe and actor (soon to be seen in Joe "Atonement" Wright's Anna Karenina) is very Grose – focusing on a Cornish family, madness and a hidden chemical weapons plant. Actually, his face is very loveable.

Vronsky’s elder brother Aleksandr exemplifies the way that a rakish life-style does not necessarily hinder ambition. He is a colonel with a position at court: ‘Aleksandr Vronsky, in spite of the wild life, and in particular a drunken one, for which he was known, was the complete courtier’ (II, 24). A married man with children he also supports a mistress (II, 18), but he is censorious of his brother’s liaison because he knows that it is not approved of in the circles that matter (Ibid.), and is annoyed with him for shirking his official duties because of his ties to Anna (II, 24) (source)

Twenty-three year-old Vikander herself made a splash in Lisa Langseth’s Pure and has the starring female role in Berlinale competition film A Royal Affair. Her international career should take off this year with starring roles in both Joe Wright’s Anna Karenina and Sergei Bodrov’s The Seventh Son. She’s got a natural screen presence that adds an extra shine to these particular Jewels.

L'institutrice des enfants Oblonsky ?

Ce qui est mal en effet, c'est que la demoiselle en question fût gouvernante dans notre maison. Oui, ce n'est pas bien ! Il y a là quelque chose de vulgaire et de banal: faire la cour à sa gouvernante ! ... Mais aussi, quelle femme !

Mademoiselle a donc tourné une scène avec Stiva : la chanceuse ! (Et Matthieu y était-il ?)
