Winslet to star in Paris action film
Kate Winslet is in Paris shooting what will be her toughest role ever
DESPITE saying that her recent television work was a lot harder than working in film, Kate Winslet, right, is in Paris shooting what will be her toughest role ever.
She and Jodie Foster star in Roman Polanski's film God of Carnage and are set to do a real-time shoot lasting one hour and 45 minutes that forms the bulk of the action.
No cuts, no breaks, no lighting changes: they are "on" the whole time.
God of Carnage is an adaptation of the prizewinning play by French playwright Yasmina Reza.
Winslet and Foster play two wives arguing after the child of one is beaten up by that of the other.
Winslet and Christoph Waltz (The Green Hornet and Inglourious Basterds) play husband and wife Nancy and Alan, against Foster as Penelope and John C. Reilly (We Need to Talk about Kevin) as Michael.
What is intended as friendly discussion about a bullying child descends itself into childish battling in the realtime scene.
