A very blue picture has been given to Empire from the new movie CENTURION starring Olga Kurylenko who was in the latest James Bond movie which I didn’t bother to see. She plays a female Conan/Daredevil hybrid who has her village slaughtered by Romans (standing in for James Earl Jones) and also has her tongue cut out (standing in for having radioactive waste dumped in her eyes) which gives her super-senses. Here she is; looking confused and cold.
Everyone loves a blue filter.
The film is being directed by Neil Marshall which probably means something to somebody. Reading the article this picture is attached to is pretty fun. I especially enjoy this tidbit from the director:
Because one sense is not there – she can’t speak – all the others are more developed. She sees very well and hears very well: she is an animal!
I don’t remember 1st grade Biology to well, but I don’t think speaking is a sense. Tasting is, but if I burn my taste buds on hot soup, I can’t suddenly hear my dog fart in the other room…even though I might smell it, but that’s not because I have super-powers. I guess that’s just the magic of cinema.
