Hi Everyone, sorry for the delay with this translation. I’ve been away in Edinburgh celebrating my birthday :] Thanks again to Katia for translating this for us!

Natalie Dormer is one of the British rising stars of cinema. Versatile beauty, intriguing, seductive and a talented woman which earned her many roles mostly in costume. From the very beginning. Just six months after graduation acting (The famous Webber Douglas London, from which came Angela Lansbury and Terence Stamp), Natalie got the part that would change her life: Victoria – in Casanova, alongside Heath Ledger and Sienna Miller- Had to be a minor role. Then the director saw her work and decided to increase the number of poses. For Natalie followed Anna Boleyn role in drama for the BBC The Tudors: a success that made known to the general public. Suspended between dream and reality – before acting school she has lived in a squat and
made countless jobs -  she has a natural charisma, which assigns to people she play. So much so that Madonna would wanted for her in the role of Lady Elizabeth Bowen-Lyon (the Queen Mother) W.E. In 2012 another serial is coming on TV, Game of Thrones.

The least surprising thing to happen in Venice this month has not been a tourist going slack-jawed at the price of a gondola ride, or at least one Bellini cocktail being sunk in Harry’s Bar, but that, at the city’s annual film festival, Madonna’s new film should have been widely panned. Widely but not universally, for while its harshest critic (from The Guardian) dismissed her Wallis Simpson biopic, WE, as “a primped and simpering folly”, The Independent’s man on the Lido, Geoffrey Macnab, found much to admire in Madonna’s second turn behind the camera – noting that, while “the film is no masterpiece… many in Venice were anticipating (and some actively hoping) for a prize turkey and they’ll have been disappointed by the sheer zest and craftsmanship of WE.”

SFX.com have posted a very short interview with Natalie in promotion for The Fades which airs on BBC next week (September 21st).

What can you tell us about your character, Sarah?
“She’s married [to Mark, played by Miranda’s Tom Ellis] and Sarah has this double existence, because she is an Angelic. Her gift is that she’s a seer, she can see the future, and she has visions which she then relays to other Angelics. So she’s normal, but she’s got a history of mental illness and it’s obviously something she’s really struggled to come to terms with. Mark has been her saviour from that. The marriage has broken down for a plethora of reasons, the most pertinent being that she’s living a double existence that he doesn’t understand, which creates a lot of friction. She’s been clutching at straws, trying to maintain a normal life, pretending to herself, lying that she can have a normal, average, uneventful life – and she can’t.”

The BBC have [finally] released a press pack for The Fades which includes our first look at Natalie as Sarah and an interview!

Natalie Dormer (The Tudors, Silk, W.E.) is Sarah, beautiful, complicated and damaged. Cursed by her powers and torn from the comfort of her loving home and family, she eventually managed to rebuild her life and find solace with Mark (Tom Ellis). Before things went wrong all over again. Sarah can be tough and determined and is incredibly loyal. She is Juliet to Mark’s Romeo – hopelessly in love but always just out of reach.

SFX.com have posted a new interview with Caroline Skinner, the producer of The Fades!

If you’re lucky enough to be attending London MCM Expo this weekend and make it to Sunday, you’ll be able to catch some of the faces behind BBC Three’s new show The Fades in the flesh. We’ve interviewed producer Caroline Skinner in SFX 210, but if you simply can’t wait to find out more about BBC Three’s latest dabble in SF, here’s some snippets to keep you going…

SFX: What can we expect tonally from the show?

Caroline Skinner: Jack Thorne (Skins, This Is England ’86) who writes the show is an extraordinary talent. In a lot of the things he’s been writing recently, he manages to blend a huge range of styles and tones, from comedy to fantasy. I think one of the things we’ve been really keen to hang on to – it would be totally and utterly wrong to say this was a comedy drama because genetically it’s rooted in fantasy and horror. I think that the truth of the stories and the truth of the characters is down to the relationships and the comedy between various characters, particularly our two leads, Paul and Mac.
