Bianca, qui interprétait Sansa Stark, faisait alors appel aux assassins de Braavos afin qu'ils la débarrassent de sa rivale, et qu'elle puisse reprendre le rôle phare de Cersei Lannister. (Bianca, who played Sansa Stark, then called on the assassins of Braavos to rid her of her rival, so that she could take over the leading role of Cersei Lannister.)
It's a process where I sought to be creative with it. It hasn't been done before, at least that take on mermaids. I looked at a lot of different types of predators, mammals on land and in the sea.
Her pharmacologist father founded a biotech company (with her mother) in their homeland and a molecular diagnostic company in Switzerland, and he has been a leading force in the treatment of the HIV virus.
I wanted to find a slang or lilt or an accent so I tried out a few things, and I quite liked this one particular thing in Icelandic, the way Björk speaks, they have a quite a breathy pause after every consonant. That's not the whole Icelandic accent, but it's an aspect of it, and I thought it was so brilliant because Ryn uses breath a lot to be expressive.
She played scheming actress Bianca in Game of Thrones and a Syren in King Arthur: Legend of the Sword. And she is now the star of SYFY drama Siren, a dark take on the mermaid fantasy theme.
I watched a lot of Blue Planet and looked at different predators, particularly mammals in the sea AND on land. I just played around and picked what I thought would work best.
Siren was the No. 1 new cable drama during its spring run this year.
Ik ben in 1990 in Leuven geboren en heb dan tot mijn 14 jaar in het Mechelse gewoond. Daarna even in Zwitserland, om vervolgens definitief naar Engeland te verhuizen. Daar ben ik aan mijn studie aan de Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in Londen begonnen. (I was born in 1990 in Leuven and then lived in Mechelen until I was 14 years old. Then in Switzerland for a short while, and then permanently moved to England. That is where I started my studies at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London.)
Breakout Actors - Ryan Gage (The Hobbit) and Eline Powell (Quartet)
The story begins with the title character (Eline Powell) arriving in a small town near Prague...
...Liana Liberto, Rebecca Dayan, Eline Powell...
Powell's ability to embody a being who is mainly a physical presence, yet fill it with wonder, fear, and menace without uttering a word, is magnetic. Even when she begins to speak broken English, that can't diminish the intensity of her performance.
With Alex [Roe] commenting that the movement of the mermaid is very much Eline at work and not effects, she explains that when she got the job while in London, she had already begun training with a 'top level free diver' who had appropriate monofins, including really broad ones which are used in swimming competitions.
The movie stars Belgian actress Eline Powell as Desiree. 'Eline has all the makings of a Hollywood starlet,' he says. 'She's like the next Holly Golightly, from the famous 1960's movie Breakfast at Tiffany's with Audrey Hepburn. In AmStarDam Eline is the damsel in the bad guy's tower, who works for her uncle Eddie and his minions.'
39th Student Academy Awards -- Foreign Film (Gold Medal): David Winstone
In the meantime, I will be marveling at how unsettlingly convincing Eline Powell is as a crackingly intelligent, always-learning predator barely containing her inhumanity.
The first earliest mermaid mentioned in history books was Atargartis in Assyria, a thousand BC. In Africa, you have Mami Wata. I was looking at all different countries and their versions of mermaids.
Powell's character Angelique gives Cedric (Michael Gambon) a manicure, is a server in the dining hall, and has an assignation in the tall grass with co-worker Simon (Luke Newberry).
Ryn reacts to some humans with anger tinged with hunger, to others with affection infused with a slight air of superiority. Accustomed to being at the top of the food chain, she does not find humans very threatening, but she does find them interesting. Watching this character develop was the highlight of the year.
After RADA, Eline launched her career by starring in the short comedy-drama film "For Elsie" in 2011, next to Blake Ritson and Olegar Fedoro, actually also the directing debut of David Winstone. Eline won several awards for her work on the film, including Audience Award from the Beijing Student Film Festival, and Honorary Foreign Film Award from Student Academy Awards, USA, among others.
I love the very quick movements of cheetahs that make people jump a bit... But I also love the fluidity of bigger mammals, like whales and orcas.
Siren's biggest strengths come from Powell's performance as an apex predator of lore and the show's Pacific Northwest setting — a popular backdrop for pulpy YA television.
Dustin Hoffman ... makes his confident directorial debut at 75
The biggest strength is in the lead performance by Powell as Ryn. Powell is not only unearthly in her look, but never lets us forget that Ryn is not human. She manages a balance of innocence and raw, animalistic danger that's fascinating to watch any time she's on the screen.
I hope I can say this, she looks weird. And by "looks weird" I mean performs the act of staring weird, as though she's trying with all her might to pop her eyeballs out of her head through sheer will.
