Gillian Anderson Takes Non-X-Files Role as Martha Gellhorn

BuzzSugar — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 11:39:07 PDT

Just as we're all gearing up to catch ~~Scully~~ Gillian Anderson on the big screen in the upcoming X-Files movie, Anderson is preparing to produce and star in a biopic about Martha Gellhorn.

Anderson's production company acquired the rights to Caroline Moorehead's biography of Gellhorn, who is described as "a trailblazing female war correspondent who covered conflicts from the Spanish Civil War to Vietnam and weathered strife in personal relationships that included a failed marriage to Ernest Hemingway."

According to Anderson, "Martha Gellhorn was one of the most respected journalists of this century, and I thought Caroline's biography effectively encompassed her rich and complex life." I love watching Gillian Anderson onscreen; she brings an air of intelligence to everything she does.

What do you think of Gillian Anderson in a role that doesn't involve the paranormal?

Nicole Kidman and Clive Owen Bring Their Onscreen Chemistry to the Pages of W

Lauren Turner — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 11:59:30 PDT

Nicole Kidman and Clive Owen strike a serious pose on the cover of W's May issue. They portray a married couple in HBO's Hemingway and Gellhorn, and translated their onscreen chemistry to the publication's pages in the sexy spread, which you can see more of when it hits newsstands April 24. Clive and Nicole spoke with the magazine about playing the historical duo, Ernest Hemingway and Martha Gellhorn, but also opened up about their own significant others. Clive even shared the moment he fell in love with wife Sarah-Jane Fenton, while Nicole got serious about her husband Keith Urban's recent throat surgery. Here's more from Nicole and Clive in W:

Clive on meeting his wife: "After drama school I did a seven-month tour of Europe performing in Romeo and Juliet. I played Romeo. I was at the first rehearsal, thinking, I wonder what Juliet is going to be like, and she came in. She had a corduroy jacket on and was carrying a pile of secondhand books, and her glasses were falling off. I kind of fell in love at that moment."
Nicole on being raw: "My husband says I’m raw. He thinks the world is not a great place for me because he fears that I’ll be hurt. He says, 'That’s my job: I’ll protect you.'"
Nicole on not being able to talk to Keith after his throat surgery: "All of those things make you closer. It was sort of profound: to go without his voice, and then to finally hear his voice. What if he sounded different? I was there for his first words, and then we cried. How many people experience their husband’s first words? If that doesn’t bring you closer, you’re not breathing."

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban Step Up With Their Growing Daughter Faith

Nicole Kidman carried her baby daughter Faith Urban yesterday in LA. Along with Keith Urban, the trio browsed for snacks and treats at an LA farmers market. Nicole and Keith were casual in jeans for the outing, but last month were in red-carpet finery for the Golden Globes. We'll see more of Nicole before the cameras as she gears up for the HBO premiere of Hemingway & Gellhorn. She stars alongside Clive Owen in the period piece about Ernest Hemingway and his relationship with journalist Martha Gellhorn. Both Nicole and Clive were recently in Pasadena to discuss the project at the TCAs. Nicole spoke about Gellhorn while there, commenting, "I think I'm attracted to many different roles, but there are times when I feel the need to play someone that inspires me. Martha inspires me. . . I love playing women who defy the odds and burn bright."

Keith, meanwhile, is looking forward to a return to the stage tomorrow. He's performing at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, in what will be his first live performance since having a polyp removed from his vocal chords back in November. Friday will see him back before a crowd for a second show. Keith and Nicole aren't yet confirmed to attend this year's Grammys on Feb. 12, though they're usually among the stars who turn out for that celebration.

Clive Owen reunited with Nicole Kidman on the Northern California set of their HBO miniseries Hemingway and Gellhorn on Monday. They filmed on location in the heart of wine country. Nicole's back in character as Martha Gellhorn, but over the weekend she played the role of supportive, and stunningly beautiful, wife to Keith Urban at the Academy of Country Music Awards. The trip to Las Vegas gave her a break from filming and the opportunity to spend a special day with Sunday Rose at Siegfried and Roy's Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat. She's been trading lines with Clive in front of the camera for the past few weeks while Keith's been spotted visiting her and their girls, Sunday and new baby Faith, in San Francisco. Despite their hectic schedules Keith recently talked to People about their priorities as parents, "We just have a normal life, we do normal things. . . Family is definitely a priority for us."
