If anyone is interested in going to see Natalie in .45 you can now book your tickets via the official Hampstead Theatre website! The play runs from 3-27th November so act fast and make sure you get chance to see it!

I am aiming to get down to London on November 20th for the 3:15 performance! If anyone else is going that day, let me know!

According to Official London Theatre, Natalie is involved in a new play called .45 which will show at Hampstead Theatre in November! Here is a little bit of information.

Milam will direct .45, by fellow American Lennon, from 2 to 27 November with a cast that includes Natalie Dormer (Sweet Nothings at the Young Vic) and Daniel Caltagirone. A tale of revenge set in New York’s Hell’s Kitchen, .45 follows work-shy Ed, who is determined to live the American Dream one robbery at a time. His girlfriend, Pat, has grown tired of waiting for Ed to make her dreams come true and executes an elaborate plan of revenge.

A batch of new old stills from Sweet Nothings have been added to the gallery, thanks so much to Annika for those! Also if any of you have glanced at Natalie’s IMDB profile recently you’ll know that it has her listed as being part of the new Captain America cast. If this is true then it’s amazing news but as far as I’m aware no cast announcements including Natalie have been made, so for now I think we’ll have to class it as a rumor.

More good news today, Natalie has signed onto yet another new project! The BBC press office announced today that she has been cast in a new legal drama called Silk! The drama will consist of six (presumably hour long) episodes and stars filming this month!

Maxine Peake (Criminal Justice), Rupert Penry-Jones (Spooks), Natalie Dormer (The Tudors), Tom Hughes (Sex, Drugs And Rock And Roll) and Neil Stuke (Reggie Perrin) star in Silk, a thrilling new drama series for BBC One about the lives, loves and hard cases facing barristers on the front line of criminal law, written by Bafta award-winning writer Peter Moffat (Criminal Justice, North Square).

The Telegraph is reporting today that Natalie has been cast as Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother in Madonna’s new film about the Edward VIII abdication crisis!

Much missed since her death in 2002, Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother is to be subjected to a radical new portrayal by Madonna. Mandrake can disclose that the American singer has cast an actress who appeared as Anne Boleyn in the television series The Tudors to perform the role of Queen Elizabeth in a film that she is making about the Edward VIII abdication crisis.

“This country tends to remember the Queen Mother as a rather wrinkly 97 year-old, but I am playing her when she was quite an enchanting, engaging twenty and thirtysomething,” Natalie Dormer told me. “She was quite a savage and savvy game player.”

Empire have announced today that Natalie has signed onto a new project! According to a few sources Natalie will star in an adaptation of horror/fantasy novel Shadowland. The film will be shot in 3D and she will star opposite Bill Nighy! Nothing has been released about who Natalie will play, but hopefully that will come soon, you can read a very brief overview of the novel below.

Shock ‘Till You Drop brings word that PFG Entertainment is gearing up a film based on the book, which finds a pair of university students charmed into a world of magic and danger by an older man (played, we assume, by Nighy, since he’s got the charismatic chops to make the role work). The two leads are initially seduced by the powerful spells they’re exposed to, but soon must face a devastating choice between the forces of evil and saving their lives.

Natalie Dormer, last seen having her noggin sliced off as Anne Boleyn in TV series The Tudors, has also signed on for a role.

I’m not a huge fan of horror, but this sounds like a classy kind of horror :p And how good will it be to see Natalie up on the big screen and in 3D! Very exciting!
