Lady in red: Isla Fisher shows off her post-baby curves in a little red dress and velvet jacket at the London premiere of Burke And Hare


Isla Fisher made a triumphant return to the spotlight in a little red dress tonight as she made her first public appearance since becoming a second time mother.

The Australian-raised actress, 34, showed off her post-baby curves in a figure-hugging Dolce & Gabbana lace mini as she attended the London premiere of her new film Burke And Hare.

The 34-year-old, who married comedian Sacha Baron Cohen in March, joined co-stars Simon Pegg, Andy Serkin and Jessica Hynes at the Chelsea screening of the British black comedy.

Although she rapidly slimmed down after the birth of her first child Olive three years ago, Isla appears to be embracing her curves this time round as she displayed her ample cleavage in the tight dress.

It was reported last month that Fisher and Cohen, who have been together for eight years, welcomed a second child in late summer, but the name, sex or date of birth of the child has yet to be revealed.

While the former Home & Away actress remained coy over the details of the Cohen family's new addition, she did admit tonight she was suffering from bad morning sickness while shooting the film in Scotland earlier this year.

Fisher plays Helen M'Dougal, the love interest for Pegg's character William Burke, one half of serial killing duo Burke & Hare, along with Serkis as William Hare.

The actress revealed some of her co-stars assumed she had an eating disorder because of her morning sickness.

She said: 'I was actually pregnant during the shooting and I had severe morning sickness and I didn’t eat anything and I just vomited all the time.

'Simon Pegg is the least observant actor in the planet because he didn’t notice. I think he presumed I was just a typical Hollywood bulimic actress rather than the fact that I was severely sick.'


What's black, white and red... Isla joins her on-screen love interest Simon Pegg (right) and co-star Andy Serkis at the Chelsea Cinema on the King's Road


Pegg conceded he didn't realise she was pregnant: 'I didn't know what was going on. She didn't look pregnant until the last minute. I saw her a couple of months later and she was like a balloon. None of us knew, not even John knew. She hid it well.'

The film, directed by John Landis, who was responsible for Michael Jackson's Thriller video, also stars Pegg's Spaced co-star Jessica Hynes as Hare's wife and Tom Wilkinson as the killers' 'customer' Dr Knox.

The real-life Burke and Hare, who hailed from Ireland, were responsible for the deaths of at least 17 people from 1827 until 1828.

After murdering their victims, the pair then went on to sell the bodies to Dr Robert Knox, who dissected them in his anatomy classes at Barclay's anatomy school in Surgeon's Square.

The pair were eventually caught when one of their lodgers tipped off the police after finding the body of their last victim, Marjory Campbell Docherty, under her bed.

As the evidence against them was weak, Hare was offered immunity from prosecution if he testified against Burke - which he did - so the latter was found guilty and hanged in January 1829.

After serving a short time in prison, Hare was released in February 1829 and left Edinburgh, never to be seen again.

Burke and Hare is due to release in UK cinemas on Octber 29.

Right royal turn-out on the red carpet for the London Film Festival premiere of new Oscar-tipped movie The King's Speech

By JODY THOMPSON

Royal welcome: Geoffrey Rush, Helena Bonham Carter and Colin Firth arrive for the London Film Festival premiere of The King's Speech at the Odeon Leicester Square with Helena radiant in Vivienne Westwood


It's already being tipped for Oscars glory - so it was hardly surprising that a star-studded crowd was out in force tonight for the London premiere of new movie The King's Speech.

Starring Colin Firth, Helena Bonham Carter, Guy Pearce and Geoffrey Rush to name but a few, it tells the story of how King George VI ascended to the throne despite his terrible stutter after his brother Edward VIII abdicated to marry Wallis Simpson.

Often-eccentric Ms Bonham Carter - famed for her often offbeat approach to fashion - looked stunning in Vivienne Westwood tartan-bodiced dress with a black silk full skirt.


The royal three: Geoffrey, Helena and Colin crack up as they pose for the camera


Film buffs: Will Young, left, was at the premiere, as was Sir Ben Kingsley and his wife Daniela Lavender


It's the second night in a row that Helena's worn Westwood - yesterday, she wore an Anglomania skirt-suit for a press conference launching the film at the London Film Festival.

Despite her unflattering lipstick yesterday that observers remarked made her teeth look a bit yellow, as her bag declared, tonight the actress was very much a 'glamour girl'.

Firth meanwhile plays the nervous royal - known as Bertie - who reluctantly took the role despite a severe speech impediment.


Hollywood stars: Claire Danes, wearing a retro print black and red dress, and fiance Hugh Dancy at the Leicester Square gala screening


Red carpet: Colin and his wife Livia and Helena's husband, director Tim Burton


Check her out: Ms Bonham Carter wearing Vivienne Westwood again yesterday


Coaxed along by his wife Queen Elizabeth - played by Bonham Carter - he is also trained to overcome his stammer by an Australian speech therapist Lionel Logue, played by Pirates Of The Caribbean star Rush.

He then becomes a voice of comfort to his subjects on the radio as Britain is plunged into the Second World War.

Directed by The Damned United's Tom Cooper, it also features Timothy Spall as Winston Churchill, and Jennifer Ehle - who Colin previously starred alongside in his famous TV adaptation of Pride And Prejudice - as Logue's wife Myrtle.
It also features Guy Pearce as Edward VIII, Michael Gambon as King George V, and Derek Jacobi as Dr Cosmo Lang.

Until earlier this week, the film was set to be saddled with a 15 certificate, a decision based on a scene where Bertie shouts out swear words to try and thwart his stutter.

However, Cooper and his cast led such a protest that the BBFC backed down and hours before the BFI London Film Festival screening, gave the film a 12A rating.
Firth is already named as a favourite to win Best Actor at next year's Oscars, just three years after Helen Mirren landed the Best Actress gong for her role as the late king's daughter in The Queen.

Intriguingly, the film's screenwriter David Seidler says he began working on the idea in the 1980s and wrote to the Queen Mother about it.

However, he claims that she wrote back asking him not to make the film in her lifetime, as the memories were still 'too painful'.
The film opens across the UK on 7 January.

Katie Holmes shows the strain as she looks after Suri on set while filming her new movie

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Showing the strain: Katie Holmes looks tried and drawn as she and daughter Suri arrive on the set of Jack and Jill in West Hollywood, California


Her face set, veins bulging in her neck, Katie Holmes appeared to be showing the strain of her busy life yesterday.

The actress is currently juggling filming her new movie with caring single-handedly for her daughter Suri.

Katie is looking after the four-year-old by herself as husband Tom Cruise is currently filming Mission Impossible 4 in Prague.


Time for a break: With Tom Cruise away filming in Prague, Katie is single-handedly caring for their daughter


Suri accompanied her mother to the set of Jack And Jill in Los Angeles yesterday.
She ran after her exhausted looking mother, who carried one of her favourite blankets.

While the cameras started rolling Katie put on a brave face and appeared much happier, showing off the gorgeous red dress she was hiding under her robe, but after filming was over, it was clear the actress was in a less than happy mood.

It's perhaps unfortunate then that she is starring in a comedy.


Wait for me: Suri ran after her exhausted looking mother


The film tells the story of Jack who is forced to deal with his twin sister, Jill, when she visits for Thanksgiving, but then won't leave.

Sandler will play both characters, while Katie will play Jack's wife.
Adam has been spotted all over Los Angeles shooting scenes for the film dressed as a woman.

And he claims that his four-year-old daughter, Sadie is loving his new look.
'There's a mocked up picture of me (dressed as a woman) in my house that we made and my daughter Sadie, loves it,' he said. 'She's excited about it.'

Also starring in the movie is former supermodel Christie Brinkley, who appears in amuch happier mood than her co-star Katie.

She was pictured smiling and laughing on set yesterday, looking effortlessly beautiful in skinny jeans and a sweater.

The film is set for release in 2011.

Now THAT is how to wear a robe: Sexy Christie Brinkley shows Katie Holmes how it's done on the set of Jack and Jill

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Still got it: Model Christie Brinkley poses in the doorway of her trailer on the set of Jack and Jill in LA


She may be 56, but supermodel Christie Brinkley proved she has still got it on the set of Adam Sandler's film Jack and Jill yesterday.

Despite retiring from full time work years ago, the former Sports Illustrated and Covergirl model has clearly not forgotten how to work an outfit - even if it's a bathrobe.

Christie relaxed outside her trailer in between filming her cameo appearance in Beverly Hills, and showed off her endless catwalk legs in a pair of gold Christian Louboutin heels.



Defying the years: The former Covergirl and Sports Illustrated model certainly does not look 56 as she chats to Katie Holmes outside her trailer


She even took full advantage of a brief spell of sunshine during the rainy day by wrapping the robe seductively around her chest to reveal her tanned arms.

Billy Joel's ex-wife flashed her famous dazzling white teeth as she basked in the sun and chatted to co-star Katie Holmes as they waited on set.

While 32-year-old Katie preferred to go for comfort in a pair of dowdy slippers, Christie was every inch the supermodel in her sky high heels.

The pair were laughing throughout their conversation, but Katie appeared to be in an otherwise gloomy mood for much of the day.

She looked decidedly glum as she waited spoke to crew members before shooting a scene.


Set style: Brinkley strutted her stuff while Holmes looked less than glamorous


Katie carried her heels and purse in her hands and remained in her fluffy slippers and robe over a red dress as she walked around the rainy set with an assistant holding an umbrella over her.

It is perhaps the absence of husband Tom Cruise, who is currently in Prague working on his new movie Mission: Impossible IV while she and daughter Suri remain in Los Angeles, that is behind her pained expression.

Or maybe the presence of stunning Christie was making Holmes feel a little insecure, as it would most women.


I'll show you how it's done: While Katie went for comfort in a pair of dowdy slippers on set, the supermodel showed off her legs in a pair of sky high heels


Comparisons to the blonde bombshell are also something that apparently plague her 24-year-old daughter Alexa Ray Joel.

Brinkley has had to appeal to internet bloggers to stop bullying her daughter with ex Billy Joel, for not looking like her supermodel mother.

'They would criticise her for her physical appearance,' Brinkley said this week during an appearance on Sharon Osbourne's new talk show. 'She's beautiful, exotic, gorgeous, beautiful - like Sophia Loren.

'We just don't look alike… So she gets criticised for not looking like me when she's her own gorgeous, unique [person]. It really is hurtful and it really brings us all down.'


Moody: Compared to Christie's sunny demeanour, Katie Holmes looked glum on the set of Jack and Jill


Tense: Katie appeared anxious as she waited to shoot scenes with Adam Sandler


The 56-year-old's age defying looks are not the result of Botox, but she did admit to trying the injections once.

'I actually tried it when I was approaching my fiftieth birthday and I thought, OK, I'm gonna, you know, spruce up for the big 5-0,' she told hosts of The Talk on CBS.
'They put this thing in my forehead, and I was like, "Oh my God! That kills me!" and I immediately lean forward.

'I guess I must have moved it, because then my eyebrows, they went like this,' Brinkley continued, demonstrating by pulling her eyebrows into a pained, angry expression.

'And you know what? When your eyebrows go like that, it's depressing. You are as depressed as you look.'



True professional : Katie managed to put a huge smile on her face as the cameras were rolling


The film is about Jack who has to deal with his twin sister Jill when she comes to stay for Thanksgiving and then refuses to leave - both characters are actually played by Sandler himself while Katie plays Jack's wife.

Adam has been spotted all over Los Angeles shooting scenes for the film dressed as a woman. And he claims that his four-year-old daughter, Sadie is loving his new look.

'There's a mocked up picture of me (dressed as a woman) in my house that we made and my daughter Sadie, loves it,' he said. 'She's excited about it.'

Katie Holmes started filming last week and her daughter Suri, four, has been hanging out with little Sadie, who is the same age.

Harry Crossdresser: Daniel Radcliffe appears in girl's bra in new Deathly Hallows trailer

By ANDREA MAGRATH

Cross-dressing Harry: Daniel Radcliffe appears in a new trailer for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in a girl's bra as his friends, all disguised as Harry, strip off


Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 will be released next month and as the date approaches more previously unseen footage from the film has been released - including scenes of Daniel Radcliffe wearing a girl's bra.

True fans of the series will know that it isn't a case of Harry cross-dressing, but is in fact one of his friends, disguised as the Boy Wizard.

In a pivotal early scene, Harry must be transported from his aunt and uncle's home, where he is protected from his enemy Lord Voldermort, to another location.
Scroll down to watch trailer

His protectors, the Order of the Pheonix, come up with a plan to evade the Death Eaters (Voldermort's henchmen).

Six of Harry's friends - Ron and Hermione, as well as Fred and George Weasley, Fleur Delacour, and Mundungus Fletcher, drink a brew called Polyjuice Potion, which transforms them into mirror images of the real Potter.

They are then instructed by Mad-Eye Moody to 'strip', and change into identical clothes.

In the trailer we see Fleur (disguised as Harry), the student who competed against Harry in the Tri-Wizard tournament in fourth instalment The Goblet of Fire, forced to change out of her female clothing.


Before: In a pivotal scene, Harry needs to be transported but is in danger of being kidnapped, so his friends drink Polyjuice Potion to hide the real Harry from his enemies


The vain French girl, who is now engaged to Ron's older brother Bill, is disgusted with Harry's body, and says to her fiancé, 'Look away, I'm hideous.'

In the book Hermione, played by Emma Roberts, says to her bespectacled friend: 'Harry, your eyesight is really awful.'

The six decoy Harrys, plus the real thing, pair off with members of the Order of the Pheonix to make their way to the Weasley home.


After: After drinking the potion, the six 'decoy Harrys' have to change clothes in order to fool his potential captors. Their real identities (l-r) are: Fred and George, Mundungus, Fleur, Ron and Hermione


Just as he arrived at the Dursley house on a motorcycle with Hagrid as a baby sixteen years before, Harry leaves with the gamekeeper and his owl Hedwig.

The Deathly Hallows follows Harry's final journey as the moment that he must face his evil nemesis approaches.

The seventh book has been split into two parts, and Part 1, released in the UK on November 19, will follow Harry, Ron and Hermione as they drop out of school to complete the task set to them by thei headmaster Professor Dumbldore before his death in the previous instalment.


Disguise: We first saw Harry, Ron and Hermione (pictured) experiment with Polyjuice Potion in second book The Chamber of Secrets


They cross the country looking to find and destroy the remaining 'Horcruxes', which contain bits of Lord Voldermort's divided soul - the secret to his immortality.

Once they succeed, Harry will finally be able to battle his enemy in a final dual. This film, directed by David Yates, will explore the relationships between the three lead characters, as the trio is put under enormous strain emotionally.

The second part, slated for released on July 15, 2011, will conclude the epic story, and will also jump forward to reveal the characters as adults in the future.

The books' creator, J.K. Rowling was today in Denmark to be presented with the H.C. Andersen Literature Prizeby Princess Marie in Odense, Hans Christian Andersen's birth place.


Creator: Harry Potter author JK Rowling was in Denamrk today to receive the H.C. Andersen Literature Prize


Rowling, who has sold over 400 million copies of the Harry Potter books worldwide, is the first recipient of the 500,000 kroner (£60,000) award.

The prize is given to a person who can be compared with Andersen, the Danish writer who was born in 1805 and wrote 160 fairy tales and poems before his death in 1875.

Rowling said the author of such classics as The Little Mermaid and the The Ugly Duckling had 'created indestructible, eternal characters.'

Czech this out! Tom Cruise and Jeremy Renner film Mission: Impossible IV scenes in Prague's freezing waters

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Talk about suffering for your art!


Tom Cruise and Jeremy Renner braved bone chilling temperatures on Saturday night as they plunged into water measuring around 14 degrees Fahrenheit in the Vltava river.

The pair were filming scenes for the upcoming Mission Impossible IV.


We're going in: Tom Cruise dons a leather jacket while Jeremy Renner gets to wear only a suit in the freezing Vlatva River


Suffering for your art: Tom Cruise and Jeremy Renner plunged into Prague's chilly Vlatva river to film scenes for Mission Impossible IV


Divers to the rescue! Temperatures were so called you could see the breath on the actors' mouths


The weather was so cold you could see the breath forming around the actors' mouths. However, neither was allowed to wear a wetsuit for their waterlogged action scenes.

While Cruise, 48, was lucky enough to don a black leather jacket before leaping into the chilly waters, Renner, 39, had to film his scenes wearing nothing but a suit.

Night time temperatures outside the water were at least a little warmer, measuring at around 30 degrees Fahrenheit.


Jumping to safety: Jeremy Renner gets a helping hand from the crew


Directed by Brad Bird, other actors involved in the film include Josh Holloway, Lea Seydoux, Paula Patton, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg and Michael Nyqvist.

According to Variety, plot details of the movie are strictly under wraps as is the official title fo the fourth instalment , although it has been confirmed that the movie will not carry on where Mission Impossible III left off.

Unlike the previous three Mission Impossible movies, Cruise's character - Ethan Hunt - is working with only one other agent, played by Jeremy Renner, and his role is apparently as large as Cruise's.

There's also speculation that Renner could play the lead role in future Mission Impossible films and eventually replace Cruise.

Cruise is co-producing the movie with Lost creator J.J. Abrams, who has cast one of Lost's biggest stars - Josh Holloway - in the movie.

Mission Impossible IV is due to be released on December 16 in the United States.

Angelina Jolie to play Cleopatra? Hollywood A-lister lined up to play role in 'James Cameron' film

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Sign on the dotted line: Angelina Jolie, seen here signing an autograph for a fan in Budapest, is being lined up to take the title role in the new Cleopatra film


Angelina Jolie is being lined up to play the title role in the new Cleopatra film.
The 35-year-old actress, who is currently filming in Hungary, is apparently 'anxious' to be involved in the remake of the 1963 movie starring Eizabeth Taylor.

Avatar director James Cameron is also in talks with Sony to direct the film.

James, 56, and Sony Pictures Entertainment are exploring the 'very real possibility that he will direct Angelina Jolie in a 3D version of the film', according to website Deadline.com.


Iconic: Elizabeth Taylor in the 1963 production of Cleopatra


The film will be based on Stacy Schiff's book, Cleopatra: A Life, which follows the life of Cleopatra, including her romance with Julius Caesar, her affair with Mark Antony and her death.

Schiff herself is keen for Jolie to play Cleopatra, saying 'physically, she's the perfect look'.

'I think she'd be perfect for it and I can see a possible Oscar in her future,' she said.

Schiff is also apparently hoping for Brad Pitt to play Mark Antony, just as Liz Taylor's then-lover, Richard Burton, did in the 1963 version.

'Brangelina are the Burton/Taylor of our day, reconciling and breaking up within a day in the tabloids,' she told USA Today.

But critics have said the Egyptian queen should not be played by a white actress.
A writer from Essence Magazine said: 'I don't care how full Angelina Jolie's lips are, how many African children she adopts, or how bronzed her skin will become for the film, I firmly believe this role should have gone to a black woman.

'Why does Hollywood think it's even slightly plausible to cast white women in roles that would be more suitable to cast a black actress for? Especially when that role is an African queen?'


Historic roles: Angelina Jolie with Connor Paolo in the 2004 film Alexander. She is now set to play Egyptian queen Cleopatra


Intimate: Angelina and her partner Brad Pitt kiss on the film set in Budapest, where the Salt star is making her directorial debut


Ready for my close-up: Brad takes pictures of Angelina, who has been forced to film in Hungary rather than Bosnia after being denied a permit for the former war-torn country
Jolie is currently making her directorial debut as she films a Bosnian war love story.
However, the filming is taking place in the Hungarian capital Budapest after Bosnian authorities denied Jolie a permit to shoot in their country amid protests by rape victims who object to its alleged subject matter.
The 1963 version of Cleopatra costs $44million to make - leaving the production $42million over budget.

Mission Insomniac: Hard working Tom Cruise is in high spirits despite chilly all-night shoot on Mission Impossible set

By ANDREA MAGRATH


Action man: Tom Cruise films a scene during night shoot on Mission Impossible IV in Prague


He is known as one of the hardest working people in the industry, and Tom Cruise proved it last night as he worked through a gruelling all-night shoot.

The superstar kept morale high on the set of Mission Impossible IV, laughing and joking with crew members in between takes.

He even had a laugh while filming his beloved action sequences, which saw him running through the streets of Prague.

While he was able to keep warm in a puffy jacket on breaks from filming, the actor was forced to brave the cold Czech Republic night, with Celcius temperatures dropping to single digits.

The 48-year-old appeared to grit his teeth as he removed his warm jacket and stood in only a T-shirt, which showed off his bulging muscles.

The actor donned a slightly warmer leather hooded jacket for his scene, with a pair of trousers which had fraying and holes, presumably a result of his action sequence.


Night owl: The actor rehearsed and then filmed scenes where he ran and skulked in a hooded jacket


Tom has been joined on set in recent days by co-stars including Lost star Josh Holloway and French actress Lea Seydoux, who were both seen filming earlier in the day.

The Hurt Locker star Jeremy Renner, who plays Cruise's character Ethan Hunt's number two in the film, has also made an appearance on the Prague set.

Rumours are circulating that producers are setting Renner's character up as a possible replacement for Cruise in future Mission instalments, although the mega-star is expected to reprise his Hunt role for the fifth movie.


Chilly: Tom wrapped up in a thick jacket to keep warm during the night as he joked with crew in between takes


Executives at Paramount Pictures were said to be reconsidering the fourth Mission Impossible film after his latest action project Knight and Day failed to set the US box office alight.

The action-comedy co-starring Cameron Diaz performed poorly in the U.S., but fared better overseas.

However, with filming of the hit franchise fully under way it seems they've reconsidered.


It's hard work: But he didn't look as happy when he had to remove his jacket to start filming in the chilly air


Despite nearing 50, the superstar is determined to hold on to his action hero persona, and continues to film all his own stunts.

'I want to entertain the audience and part of making these movies is doing my own stunts,' he explains. 'I love having the camera right there in front of me, where you can see me holding a shot all the way through.

'I think it adds to the excitement for an audience. It`s something that is challenging to do and fun for me.'

Despite disappointing in sales and being critically panned, most would agree that the action-packed stunts in Knight and Day were impressive, particularly a motorcycle sequence that Cruise says was his own idea.


Co-stars: Lost actor Josh Holloway and French actress Lea Seydoux were also spotted on the Czech Republic set


While riding a speeding motorcycle, Diaz swings around to Cruise’s frontside, while shooting at a host of people that are in hot pursuit of the pair.

'I called [Director James Mangold] and I said, "Look, I’ve got this stunt. It’s this motorcycle stunt… We’ve gotta put a motorcycle in this scene and I’ve gotta flip her around this thing,"' Tom explained during an interview with Access Hollywood.

'I called Cameron and said, "Are you up for it?" She came out. We practised it and stuff and Jim shot it. I couldn’t wait to do that!'


Next Generation: Hurt Locker star Jeremy Renner (red scarf) is rumoured to be a possible replacement for Cruise in future Mission Impossible instalments


Tom added that he knew Cameron would be up to the task.

'She’s strong enough. The great thing about Cameron is she’s enormously talented, funny and athletic,' Tom gushed.

'There’s a lot of trust because she had full flash blanks in the gun as she’s going around [me], they’re coming past my head and she was always — you have to be there with someone and really know that they’re gonna be there.'

The fourth instalment of the Mission Impossible series is scheduled to hit theatres on December 16, 2011.

The previous three films have brought in a combined $1.4 billion dollars at the international box office.

That's better, Keira! Ms Knightley shimmers in a daring backless dress at Never Let Me Go premiere (but her co-star Carey just looks scary)

By SARAH BULL

Beautiful in beads: Keira Knightley wore a stunning beaded dress to the premiere of Never Let Me Go at the opening of the BFI London Film Festival tonight


Keira Knightley arrived at the premiere of her new film Never Let Me Go wearing a daring beaded dress, just hours after arriving at the movie's photocall in a dress she looked like she had made herself.

The 25-year-old actress looked stunning in the cream beaded outfit, which was cut dangerously low on the back, which she teamed with trendy black velvet heels as she took to the red carpet.

However, her co-star Carey Mulligan did little to inspire fans in a slightly ill-fitting white halterneck dress with a black and red geometric print.


Co-stars: While Keira looked amazing, her co-star Carey Mulligan's outfit left a lot be desired


Keira's outfit was worlds away from the odd taupe lace and blue silk outfit she had earlier worn to the film's photocall, and she managed to look both sexy and sleek as she posed for photographers at the opening gala of the BFI London Film Festival in London's Leicester Square.

Earlier today, Oscar-winning actress Keira revealed she loved her role in Never Let Me Go, an adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro's novel, because her character is so obnoxious.

Keira, more used to playing the heroine, said: 'It was great. I saw that the character was fascinating - for me it was kind of a study of jealousy and fear. She commits great harm and I thought it was interesting trying to get into her head.'


Daring: The outfit looked amazing on Keira, but was cut incredibly low on the back


Much better: The cream dress was a much better choice for Keira than the odd outfit she wore earlier in the day to the film's photocall


In the film, which also stars Andrew Garfield, Keira is involved in a love triangle, born out of her character's jealousy.

She added: 'I didn't like her and it's tricky playing people that you don't like and finding a way to empathise with them. And that's challenging and very exciting.'

And Carey added she also enjoyed starring in the film, which tells the story of clones bred purely for the purpose of becoming organ donors, because it was a darker subject matter for her to concentrate on.



In the spotlight: Keira and Carey face the photographers' flashlights as they pose on the red carpet


Cheeky: Both Carey and Keira appeared to be in good spirits as they posed on the red carpet


She said: 'It's always harder to maintain raw enthusiasm or joy than to go into a really dark place.

'This for us really was about trying not to cry. I cry all the time, it's my modus operandi. We all wanted to hold back, we all kind of marked each other, 'Don't drop a tear'.

'We were all watching each other a bit. We didn't want to portray tragedy or observe our circumstances, we just wanted to live in the world that we were in with the circumstances we had.'


Striking a pose: The girls also posed up with co-star Andrew Garfield. They all play clones bred for organ donor purposes in the new film


Carey, 25, won a Bafta and was nominated for an Oscar and a Golden Globe for her performance in An Education earlier this year, and has followed Keira to Hollywood, appearing in Wall Street 2.

Meanwhile, Garfield, 27, who won critical acclaim for his performance in Boy A, stars in chart-topping Hollywood film The Social Network and has been cast as the new Spider-Man.

But the young actors insisted they saw no difference between work on Hollywood blockbusters and independent projects.


Quick change: Keira later changed into a pretty white lace dress for the film's afterparty at the Saatchi Gallery



Garfield said: 'I'm pretty sure we can say we all approach every job as if it was our last, and our first... and we're all never going to work again.

'I think taking on a perspective of 'here's a big film', or, 'here's a small film, I'd better be really good in this', I think you work hard at what you care about.

'I think Carey and Keira, I respect greatly because they do projects that mean something to them and I'm pretty sure they don't discriminate in terms of size or any of that stuff. I don't think that's an issue. I think we're colour blind to that sort of thing.'
