1.Kaya Scodelario’s new BBC drama, True Love, is due to be shown on the channel in June 2012. The air date was confirmed during a Q&A session with Dominic Savage following a special preview screening in Margate, where the show is set. True Love is a serial made through improvisation. Five universal stories explore love in the modern day and each is led by one of the following big names: David Tennant, Billie Piper, Jane Horrocks, Ashley Walters and David Morrissey.

Kaya is featured in episode two in the series.

2. Yesterday, Kaya was on set of boyfriend Elliott Tittensor’s new film, Spike Island, and she has tweeted about being allowed to make a cameo appearance in the film. Spike Island is about a rising indie band that travels to Spike Island, Cheshire, in May of 1990 to see The Stone Roses.





3. Kaya has sent in a short essay to the Telegraph, where she discuss why Mark Wahlberg’s role in 1997′s Boogie Nights is so unique.

"Trying to pitch a film based in the pornography industry must have been a huge risk for director Paul Thomas Anderson. It’s such a dark subject that people are scared to talk about it. I love films that are daring and that bring light to taboo subjects — Boogie Nights does this, but it’s neither overly depressing nor sad: it’s light-hearted and intelligent.

I really like character-based films dealing with people’s psyches and relationships. There are a lot of huge characters in that film who all share a similar amount of screen time, story and impact.

As an actress, I find it really interesting watching Mark Wahlberg’s character Dirk Diggler suddenly become a superstar. His head explodes when he’s very famous and he becomes desperate for all the attention. It’s difficult to watch because that’s a big fear for any actor — getting to a position where you’ve forgotten who you are as a person.


At the beginning of the film there’s an incredible three-minute-long sequence which pans through the disco and introduces each of the characters. The timing is perfect – I dread to think how many takes they had to do for that one shot. With that shot you’re automatically submerged into the film. You become part of the action and part of the film because you’re taken along with the camera.

This is probably my favourite of all Mark Wahlberg’s performances. It’s a unique role in his repertoire. I think it must have been a hard decision to take the role — being nude on screen is different for a man than a woman, of course, but it was still a brave choice.

It’s one of my favourite films of all time. I can watch it again and again and each time I spot something new that I hadn’t noticed the last ten hundred times I watched it."
