Helena Bonham Carter to Film HBP Scenes in Spring, 2008
While not yet officially confirmed by Warner Brothers, representatives for actress Helena Bonham Carter have said the actress would be reprising her role as Bellatrix Lestrange for the upcoming “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” film. In an article with The Independent, they discuss the actress, who is currently expecting her second child with husband, director Tim Burton. The reps say that that Helena Carter Bonham would be back filming the sixth Harry Potter film next year, with the article noting “her publicist said yesterday that Bonham Carter was not due back on the Potter set until the spring.”

Let me say, YAY! I was pretty sure she would be back, but it's nice to have it confirmed because really there's no other actress that could play Bellatrix for me now, and I needed to see the true Bellatrix on screen for the scenes with Cissy. Now, if they'd only announce who will be playing Narcissa I can commence squeeing like a fangirl.

'tis a bummer that Jill apparently isn't in it though
enjoyed slash for them... hate having to find a new pairing to enjoy for each movie now - first Rain/Alice, then Jill/Alice, now either K-mart/Alice or Claire/Alice
can't decide for sure right now *shrugs*

Date: 2007-09-03 02:28 am (UTC)I wish Jill was back for this one too. I really like the character, Sienna Guillory was smoking hot, and the character was ALIVE at the end of the last movie. If they've killed her off screen I'm gonna be hella pissed.
Is K-Mart the Ashanti character? Cause if so I doubt I'll slash them because Ashanti bugs the shit out of me. If they'd gotten like Alicia Keys to play the role, and I would have been all over that and Claire/Alice/K-Mart threesomes and everything, but Ashanti? Hells to the no.
I'll probably get a Claire/Alice fic or two out of this, but yeah, I miss Jill.
*goes to check Sienna Guillory's imdb page to see if she'll maybe make a cameo*

'bout all I remember
but what if she dies in ze cameo? O.o
ugh, I agree with your friend on that one
Ada is... amazing, really
'tis a shame the only slash pairing you could get out of her for RE4 where she looks good enough to stalk is Ada/Ashley (who happens to be one whiny ass brat who is fun to kill in various ways)
only game I've played is RE4, but the books are really good, definitely worth checking out when you have the time
though if you're like me after reading City of the dead and Nemesis you'll try and work out the timeline and figure out how Jill and Carlos never saw Leon and Claire and Ada even though everybody ran around the police station for a while - it is mind boggling and my mind is officially boggled by it)
(as well as other questions that have no answers, like why people in hollywood can jump off a ledge and land perfectly into a helicopter waiting below without being pureed)

Date: 2007-09-03 02:40 am (UTC)Ahh, something to google in a minute. I think in the trailers I was too busy staring at Ali Larter to notice anyone else, (well, besides Milla obviously and to mock Ashanti)
Ada is... amazing, really
I've watched Brandon play the game, and saw a little video segment with Ada where she's found hiding in an old house and gets into a fight with the guy that's trying to rescue Ashley and then she jumps out the window. She was pretty cool and after that I thought that I'd like to see her in the movie.
It's funny that you complain about Ashley because Brandon's constantly bitching about having to save her dumb ass, only for her to be kidnapped again, so he has to save her AGAIN and AGAIN.
I didn't even know there were books. Do the books take place in the movie-verse? Cause if they're saying that Leon, Carlos, Claire and Ada were running around the police station where we first meet Jill (teh sexy introduction) then I can see how you're mind would be boggled!

Date: 2007-09-03 02:48 am (UTC)movie books are by... Keith R A decandido I think, and the game books are by SD Perry
it's like getting all the fun of the early games (plus two original novels) wihtout the crappy camera angles and char controls ^_^
plus I just loves the char of rebecca.. she's so cute! ^_^
my fave game book is the first one, The Umbrella Conspiracy, though the book set before that one kinda fucked up the timeline
and nah, they weren't there in the movie
carlos's intro is kinda similar, only in the games apparently umbrella sent in an army that got wiped out within 20 minutes of setting down and Nicholai is a bastard
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3-Zu5t9mXk <Good Ada vid ^_^ I haven't even noticed Ashanti in the trailers to be honest, this last time I saw a bunch of birds though that I hadn't noticed before ever since I saw she was on the cast list I've been hoping she dies though, so something to root for when I'm waiting in line at hte ticket office ^_^

Date: 2007-09-03 03:02 am (UTC)lol. That's what I'm hoping for too. Maybe the birds will kill her! I just watched the trailer again and saw K-Mart. I'll probably ship Claire/Alice though, just cause Spencer Locke is like 16, lol. Also Ali Larter is foxy.

Date: 2007-09-03 03:05 am (UTC)and Claire is a good char, great attitude and whatnot, in the games at least, so she'd be choice for slasheh pairin's ^_^
I hadn't really thought about the age thing to be honest, mostly cuz I don't care about the character enough to get to the point where my age differance issues start making it impossible for me to read a fic *shrugs*
