British director Tom Hooper, who was responsible for The King’s Speech and Les Miserables, was given the Hollywood Director Award for his new movie The Danish Girl, which stars Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne as a transgender pioneer in the 1920s.Eddie’s co-star Alicia Vikander was presented with the Hollywood Breakout Actress Film for her role as his wife.

Speaking on the red carpet at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, the Swedish actress said: “I’ve only been in this room once before in my life and that was three years ago at the Golden Globes with a foreign film.“I thought it was an experience I could tell my grandkids about, that I went to this Hollywood awards thing and saw all these people I looked up to and admired.“I never thought I would work with some of the directors and actors that I met here and to be back is extraordinary.”

Alicia is in the Bradley Cooper movie 'Burnt'. I've pretty much ignored it since the reports say she's in it only briefly, not really long enough to be listed, and the movie is getting rotten reviews. If she's in the trailer it's so brief I didn't notice it on a one-time go through.

First Look at Alicia Vikander in Derek Cianfrance's 'The Light Between Oceans' Revealed

www.indiewire.com/article/first-look-at-alicia-vikander-in-derek-cianfrance-latest-the-light-between-oceans-20151104?utm_campaign=Indiewire&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&utm_content=1446659607



An early glimpse has just been released that will undoubtedly whet your appetite for Derek Cianfrance's upcoming emotional roller coaster, "The Light Between Oceans." The stunning picture, which first appeared on The Film Stage, shows breakout star Alicia Vikander standing on a precipice in front of the Indian Ocean.

This follow-up to Cianfrance's triptych "The Place Beyond the Pines" features an equally formidable cast led by Vikander, Michael Fassbender and Rachel Weisz. Based on the novel of the same name by M.L. Stedman, "The Light Between Oceans" tells the story of a lighthouse keeper and his wife who find a baby washed ashore in a rowboat and raise it as their own. The picture offers an early look at the devastatingly beautiful Australian frontier that serves as the backdrop for the drama.

Unfortunately, audiences may have to wait a while to see "The Light Between Oceans" as the film is still in post-production. The movie currently has no U.S. release date, and its UK release was recently postponed to January 2017.

Next Gen 2015: 'Ex Machina' Star Alicia Vikander on Developing New Characters and Joining the 'Bourne' Franchise

Alicia's videos for this article are on the Hollywood Reporter website:

The in-demand star has eight credits to her name between this year and next, including an upcoming flick with Michael Fassbender.

In 2013, Alicia Vikander was starstruck when attending the Golden Globe Awards ceremony at the Beverly Hilton, where A Royal Affair was nominated for best foreign-language film (the Danish historical drama, along with Anna Karenina, put the Swedish actress on Hollywood’s radar). “I walked into this room with my director and I just couldn’t stop giggling,” Vikander, 27, recalled at the Nov. 1 Hollywood Film Awards, likewise held at the Hilton. “We talked about how it would be a memory that I would tell my grandkids about.” She’s not giggling anymore. Only two years later, the in-demand actress — who, between this year and next, has eight film credits to her name — accepted the HFA’s award for breakout actress for her performance opposite Eddie Redmayne in Tom Hooper’s The Danish Girl (Nov. 27). She’s expected to continue to be a force in this year’s awards race, and wowed in April indie hit Ex Machina. And, in her biggest gig yet, she’s currently shooting the fifth Jason Bourne film opposite Matt Damon. “It’s a franchise, but I’m really enjoying myself. I found myself on set the other day and I was like, ‘Gasp. Oh my God, it’s one of those sets,’” says Vikander. She was the girl-of-the-moment at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival, where she promoted her upcoming film, Tulip Fever, as well as supported her boyfriend, Michael Fassbender, who was in Cannes with Macbeth (there’s buzz she and the actor have split). The daughter of Swedish actress Maria Fahl Vikander, her other 2015 films to hit theaters included Testament of Youth, The Man From U.N.C.L.E. and Burnt. Tulip Fever, The Light Between Oceans, co-starring Fassbender, and Bourne are out in 2016.


Actor I'm dying to work with: Mark Ruffalo and Marion Cotillard. I think she’s amazing.

Director I'm dying to work with: Michael Haneke has been one of my dreams to work with since I was young. He has some very amazing female parts. Also, Tomas Alfredson and the Coen brothers.

Ideal date night: I love to cook. That’s a clear sign that I have some time off. I wake up in the morning, and I go and spend a few hours at the supermarket and find new things. I’ll be Googling trying to find new recipes. That’s a wonderful date night, to cook food.

Biggest challenge: It’s been everything from not working in my native language in most of my films and being an A.I. in Ex Machina. Derek Cianfrance [Light Between Oceans] works in a very specific way and had us live together in the same house for the entire shoot. I think I’ve chosen all of those projects because they have a clear challenge. Being a bit scared is what makes me interested in a project from the get-go.

Alicia Vikander Early Favorite to Replace Rooney Mara in ‘Girl With the Dragon Tattoo’ Sequel (Exclusive)




Sony’s rebooting the Lisbeth Salander franchise as Steven Knight prepares to adapt “The Girl in the Spider’s Web”

Rooney Mara will not reprise her role as hacker heroine Lisbeth Salander in Sony’s forthcoming adaptation of “The Girl in the Spider’s Web” and Sony Pictures is interested in having Alicia Vikander replace her in a proposed reboot of the franchise, an individual familiar with the studio’s thinking has told TheWrap.

Director David Fincher and star Daniel Craig are also unlikely to return for the sequel, which will be based on the fourth novel in the late Stieg Larsson‘s Millennium series that was written after his death by David Lagercrantz.

Sony had initially been planning to adapt “The Girl Who Played With Fire,” shelling out mid-seven figures for a script by Steve Zaillian. “Fire” is now expected to follow “Spider’s Web,” which Oscar-nominated writer Steven Knight (“Locke”) is in negotiations to adapt for the studio.

Scott Rudin and former Sony chief Amy Pascal will produce “The Girl in the Spider’s Web” with Elizabeth Cantillon and Swedish production company Yellow Bird, which produced the original movie starring Noomi Rapace as Lisbeth.

The “Dragon Tattoo” sequel is expected to come in at a much lower price than Fincher’s film — a holiday release that had difficulty recouping its $90 million budget, not including P&A costs.

Sony isn’t expected to start the high-profile casting process until after Knight delivers a script, but Rudin and Pascal are said to be fans of Vikander, who has the right look to play Lisbeth — which could make for a smoother transition.

Vikander is one of Hollywood’s brightest young stars and an edgy character like Lisbeth Salander would counterbalance her acclaimed work in period dramas such as “The Danish Girl,” “Anna Karenina,” “A Royal Affair” and “Testament of Youth” The Swedish starlet can currently be seen opposite Bradley Cooper in “Burnt,” and has “Tulip Fever” and the next Jason Bourne movie on the horizon.

Lagerkrantz is represented by Madgalena Hedlund at The Hedlund Agency, while Yellow Bird is repped by UTA.

Alicia Vikander On Coming Off Cold: 'I'm Always Nervous Letting Go'




Alicia Vikander is lovely in white on the red carpet while attending the premiere of her latest film The Danish Girl held at the United States Navy Memorial on Monday (November 23) in Washington, DC.

The 27-year-old actress was joined by producer-director Tom Hooper at the event commemorating the Annual Transgender Day of Remembrance.

Alicia recently opened about her reputation for being cold.

“It’s tough,” Alicia expressed (via LA Times). “I try to be myself, but I’m always nervous letting go. I am very serious about my work. But I think it’s a bit of a cultural thing, too. Everyone thinks my English is so good. But with the language barrier, I often feel like I want to add that little extra flavor to what I’m saying. Sometimes I wish people could hang out with me for 10 minutes when I’m speaking Swedish.”

FYI: Alicia is wearing a Victoria Beckham top and culottes, Aquazzura shoes, a Louis Vuitton bag, and Ana Khouri jewelry.

Chances are you already know Alicia Vikander‘s face even if you don’t know her name. The Swedish starlet dazzled audiences as Ava, the beguiling android at the center of this spring’s sleeper hit Ex Machina, and has elbowed her way into action flicks like The Man From U.N.C.L.E. Vikander has been steadily building a legion of international fans over the past few years, but she’s set to finally break out this fall with her sublime performance in The Danish Girl. Right now, Vikander is considered a lock for a Best Supporting Actress nomination.

If you’re looking for more on Alicia Vikander, we’ve compiled five titles on streaming just for you. It’s kind of like a “meet cute” in a romantic comedy, but because it’s all streaming, we’re calling it your “meet queue.” So get ready to fall in love with Alicia Vikander…



A Royal Affair (2012)
Alicia Vikander was already an up-and-comer in her native Sweden when she was offered the lead role in A Royal Affair. The sumptuous Oscar-nominated film paired her with Mads Mikkelsen; the two played real-life lovers Queen Caroline Mathilde and Johann Friedrich Struensee. The movie offers a decidedly more intellectual and progressive take on 18th century romance. Mathilde and Struensee aren’t just drawn to each other because of passion, but because of their shared devotion to enlightenment. [Watch A Royal Affair on Netflix]



Anna Karenina (2012)
After wowing international audiences, Vikander made the leap to mainstream English-language fare with Joe Wright’s audacious adaptation. While Keira Knightley and Aaron Taylor-Johnson got top billing, Vikander and her future Ex Machina co-star Domhnall Gleeson infused the film with tender romance as star-crossed lovers Kitty and Levin.
[Watch Anna Karenina on Netflix]



Ex Machina (2015)
Alicia Vikander’s big breakthrough stateside has to have been in Alex Garland’s A.I.-obsessed indie drama Ex Machina. Vikander played Ava, an android on the cusp of achieving true artificial intelligence. Even though she wasn’t made of flesh and bone, Ava is the beating heart of the peace and her own drive pushes the plot to its dramatic climax. [Watch Ex Machina on Prime Video]




The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (2015)
Even though it didn’t blast through the box office this summer, Guy Ritchie’s super-stylized reimagining of The Man From U.N.C.L.E. has already won over a cult audience. Part of the action romp’s appeal? Alicia Vikander’s sultry Gaby Teller. The character was as capable of kicking major ass as she was rocking the bejesus out of some chic mod fashions. The film only solidified our crush on the star. [Where to Stream The Man From U.N.C.L.E.]



The Danish Girl (2015)
Alicia Vikander is wrapping up an absolutely fantastic year with what many critics are heralding as the best performance of her career. In The Danish Girl. the actress play plays Gerda Wegener, a Danish artist who must help her transsexual husband undergo one of the very first sex-change operations. The role puts her toe-to-toe with Eddie Redmayne, another rising star and last year’s Academy Award winner for Best Actor.

Alicia Vikander in Negotiations to Star in Wim Wenders’ ‘Submergence’ (EXCLUSIVE)

Hollywood’s red-hot star Alicia Vikander is in advanced negotiations to topline Wim Wenders’ romantic thriller “Submergence” opposite James McAvoy.

The film is based on J.M. Ledgard’s eponymous novel which ranked second in New York Magazine’s list of the 10 Best Books of 2013.

Penned by Erin Dignam (“The Last Face”), “Submergence” centers on two lovers, immersed in life-or-death situations and separated by thousands of miles, who find solace in memories of their intense romance the previous Christmas after a chance encounter on a beach on the Atlantic coast. One is enduring captivity by jihadist fighters in Somalia while the other is exploring the greatest depths of the ocean floor from her submersible.

The Swedish-born Vikander currently stars opposite Eddie Redmayne in Tom Hooper’s “The Danish Girl” which had a robust bow in the U.S., grossing $185,000 over Thanksgiving weekend, and has earned solid awards buzz since opening at the Venice Film Festival.

The 27-year old Vikander, who has been making some wise career choices, earned critical acclaim with the foreign-language Oscar nominee “A Royal Affair” as well as Lisa Langseth’s “Hotell,” before breaking through to international audiences with “Ex Machina.” She’s also starred in James Kent’s “Testament of Youth” and Guy Ritchie’s “The Man From U.N.C.L.E.” Her slate of upcoming projects includes the untitled “Bourne” sequel with Matt Damon.

Cameron Lamb is producing “Submergence” through Lila 9th Productions, while Paris-based Backup Media is financing. The French company’s credits include the Oscar-winning “Still Alice,” which it also financed.

“Submergence” will start shooting in March in Europe and Africa.

UTA Independent Film Group packaged “Submergence” and will be representing the U.S. sale.

Wenders’ directing credits include “Paris, Texas,” “The State of Things,” “Wings of Desire,” “Buena Vista Social Club,” “Pina” and “Salt of the Earth.”

Wikander is repped by UTA, Tavistock Wood Management and Laura Munsterhjelm in Sweden.
