Wow, she will nail this role! I can't wait to see this too!

Wow, I can totally see her as Miss Havisham! I really hated the book but I bet Helena will make the movie amazing.

^ I was debating on reading it cuz it sounded so good from the summary I read! Guess I'll wait for the movie instead.

Really, the book wasn't all that? Maybe the movie version will be better, let's hope?

It sounds like it'll be a great movie - very interesting plot & storyline. With Helena, I'm sure it'll be great.

Life's Too Short is a mockumentary by Ricky Gervais & Stephen Merchant. It already started at the UK yesterday. Warwick Davis is also on this one (he's also tweeting about it a lot).

"I can't have his face staring at me either." Looks like it'll be hilarious! I saw a clip of it with Johnny Depp and he talks about HBC and Tim Burton in it.

Do you have a link to that? I'd like to see.



Quote:
Due to filming commitments – Helena is currently starring as Miss Haversham in the BBC’s eagerly anticipated Great Expectations remake – the BAFTA award-winning King’s Speech actress was not able to accept her award for Role Model of the Year in person but sent co-star Sally Hawkin’s with a letter to read:

Dear all,

I will still be Miss Havishaming as you glug your drinks and I'll have to be up at 5.00 again to get the bridal gear on in order that they can set fire to me (do you know the story?). So Tuesday's a big day and every bride must get her beauty sleep.

Anyway, please know that under any other circumstances I would have been there and thank you for this compliment. "Role Model of The Year" sounds fantastically heroic. I have no idea what I have done to fulfill this description. It reminds me of a letter I got from a young female fan in which she enumerates "25 things Helena Bonham Carter has taught her". It starts with things like "dreaming big", “believing in yourself”, “creating your own style not other peoples”, and that “it’s socially acceptable to wear several hats all at once.” But the one I loved best was No. 25 which was “it’s ok to have short thick legs".

Now, I think if I’ve helped make someone love their short thick legs then - yes – I DO feel I've been heroic. So thank you so much. I do deserve this.


Much love from Miss Havisham World. She doesn’t - after all - get out that much.

Helena's awesome!

And here's the link: Johnny Depp in Life's Too Short

Johnny's hilarious!

Another pic of Helena for 'Great Expectations'.

OMG, I want that too! I'll flip if we get new pics from 'Dark Shadows'.

Btw, that link you posted about Johnny Depp, it's not working for me.

Oh, let me try again. Try this.



And I really hope Tim Burton releases something more for Dark Shadows. I loved the cast photo, but I need more!

OMG, that was hilarious! I am gonna watch this show.

So another Tim movie in the works but they're saying Helena's already part of the movie? The trailer is eerie but looks interesting. This clip is the trailer for the book which is out June 7. Apparently they make trailers for books now.
