In a profile of thesp in the print edition of Total Film, Olga Kurylenko has taken to discussing an interesting audition she took for Terrence Malick’s upcoming romantic drama which also has Christian Bale, Javier Bardem and Rachel McAdams attached to star.
“[The audition] was mute,” Kurylenko reveals. “I spent an hour doing five different scenes that he had described. I had to say nothing. It was all in the eyes. Can you believe that? That was difficult, believe me.”
However, the actress was well prepped for the audition having just finished playing a mute warrior in Neil Marshall’s “Centurion” something she found humorously coincidental, “exactly, interesting isn’t it? Every movie does it’s own thing.”
“Oh… I can’t really say [anything about the film],” Kurylenko concludes. “You know how it is. But it’s going to be cool.”
Interestingly, the article also noted that Kurylenko had recently been in contact with Lars von Trier. No mention was made but the Danish auteur is currently casting female leads for his psychological disaster flick, “Melancholia.” Coincidence? Probably.
