You get charming the recount of Jane Austen Pride and prejudice As the auditory original, she led the Bafta-conquering of Actress Marisa Abela expresses the iconic literary role of Elizabeth Bennet.

I sat down with Abel to talk about her the latest Pride and prejudice The project, and at the same time dived into its constant expansion of professional journey, and given a lot of waves in its young young people already established by a career.

First I wondered if Abel was well sent or fan in all the work of Jane Austen, before deciding to apply for this sound original.

Abela said, “I was. Yes, I was a big fan of Jane Austen, but especially Pride and prejudice For a very long time. Actually I mean that Pride and prejudice Is the book that brought me to the love for reading and Elizabeth Bennet is one of the iconic characters in the literature to always say I would like to play. I offered a role and it was like direct to me. I think I’ve always wanted to play Elizabeth, but it’s especially in what we do in the kind of sound setting where he feels so close to the book and experience reading a book I fell in love with all that time. Then I heard about casting and it was just kind of, you know – it’s crazy. I think it’s just absolutely incredibly acting, not just because everyone is so talented and incredible in their own rights, but also in terms of exactly who they play and cast in this. I think it’s just great. “

Being pretty spiced acting in front of the camera, I was curious what some of the joys and freedoms she felt was, only to do to Pride and prejudice The project, and whether there were any challenges, it came across this different route of execution.

“Yeah, I Mean, You’re Sort Of Left With One Lot More Specific. And Think That You Kind Of Have To Say Everything With Your Voice In A Way, That You Can Rely On Other Tools When You’re On Camera. I Think That It Was Really Important To A Lot of What Elizabeth Says, Is Quite Cutting. She’s Very Sharp And She’s Very Witty, and She’s Kind Of Is Playing Cat & Mouse With Everyone With Her Words. So, and Think The Challenge It was to move humor, but also warm “Lizzie” from the beginning, so it’s not somehow not to scare him. “

Since an actress that is not a stranger to choose the bold women’s roles that go on what they want and rise against male and social pressures, including yasmin Industry and as Claris in this year’s Black bag The film, I wondered how these types of characters that decides to show in career so far, it gives her the most excitement and enjoyment to take over.

Abela said: “Probably inspired by characters like Elizabeth in Pride and prejudice From the young time. I grew up and was somehow a drawn story with strong women’s protagonists. I think a lot of strength from these women comes from their ability to be vulnerable and to love and enter situations in which they can recognize their flaws and admit that they do not really love anyway. I think that’s what I’m really attracted is the kind of transition of two worlds – the power that needs a woman, but also softness. These are the two things I’m kind of forced. Elizabeth, for me, even on a book page, is an amazing modern woman and it is somehow incredibly thinking about the fact that we come up to 250. Anniversary to be written. You read it and you feel like it’s alive and well here, you know? “

Looking further Pride and prejudiceI am interesting from the types of characters and stories that are most interested because it moves forward and notice its preferences and priorities to change or developing in recent years.

“I guess I’m attracted to stories with a lot of complexity,” Abela said. “I Guess Just There’s Always Some Kind Of Inner-Turmoil. I Guess That’s What All Narrative Is, Really – All Drama Is Really Based On. It’s Kind Of Conflict and Resolution, But and Think and Try And Look For Projects Where I Can Really Throw Myself Into Something Completely, and like that stretch myself and challenge myself. Even if that’s not on the page that maybe comes a bit too naturally to me. and sort of crave that in everything that is not necessarily uniquely intense people, but maybe a circumstance or Writing or whatever is. I think there is a depth I always crave, even if I actually have to perform in something.Highlander) So, it takes a different level of devotion and commitment and intensity in a completely different way, but it is really comfortable. “

After seeing shifts that happened in Hollywood and inside the entertainment industry, I wondered what Abela enjoys the most in the way and trends of business lately, and if there are areas to see that they will soon enter the other direction.

“It’s always about what you’re selling, but there are so many species – I don’t want it to be based on the talent and write, as it should be cream and writing, as it should be based on talent and writing, in my opinion, My opinion should be based on talens and write. It’s too much too much in our industry, but hundreds and hundred million are made. So it’s the best thing. So it’s the best thing that’s the best things. So.

Circulating on her new Pride and prejudice Sound original and throwing in All-Star who also lends its votes in this project, I was curious there that Abela still works and really itching, feeling it will cooperate together.

Abela said, “Oh, I mean, there are so many people I’d like to do with. If you were really doing me much better. If you were a lot of this Baths, Marianne Jean-Baptinson, Bill Harris Dickinson, Glenn Catherine” Nightdi like G. Bennet, Jessie Buckley – I mean, it’s completely crazy. It’s like the best healing. I feel amazingly happy. Apparently, last year, worked with Michael Fassbent and Cate Blanchett (in Black bag). I currently work with Henry Cavill and Russell Crow (u Highlander). So, I feel like I’m not trying to tempt my destiny. I’m just – let the universe bring my way, no matter however they want. I only let angels do their things. “

As I concluded my conversation with Abel, I left it with my signature and original question – what, Marisa, said Elizabeth Bennet if you could talk to this literary icon, after everything input Pride and prejudice? What do you think should hear that you would like to tell her?

Abela said, “At the beginning of the novel, I would like to like it – gets a massage. Eventually I would say – congratulations and wish you and your husband a very happy marriage.”
