Finally! Rosamund Pike covers two major October issues to promote Gone Girl. She covers Vogue UK and Glamour (US). We don?t have any interview excerpts from her Vogue UK piece yet, so I?m just including the cover in this post. I like the Vogue cover WAY more than the Glamour cover, which is awkward to say the least. They cropped out part of her head ? that?s not my cropping mistake. They should have cropped the photo higher on her waist so that her whole head could fit in the frame. Weird. Anyway, you can read Rosamund?s Glamour interview here and here are some highlights:
Doing scenes with Ben: “Ben and I would have these scenes that were very giggly and sort of romantic. And then we’d go to this very dark place…I tried to get us out of that.
Doing scenes with Neil Patrick Harris: ?We were in hysterics in the editing room. It was very funny doing [rehearsals for our sex] scene. David left Neil and me alone on that set for like two hours to make sure we could do it. But when it’s just two of you, basically kind of f–king on a bed, it feels so inappropriate.”
She was unnerved by Amy: “There were definitely moments when I felt very uneasy with how much power Amy had. And the interesting thing is, my reaction was to laugh. To get sort of uncontrollable giggles. That was the most curious part of playing her: At the point where she’s at her most powerful, it unnerved something in me.”
Finally getting magazine covers: “A lot of girls who are high-profile in Hollywood?they’ve been doing cover stories for big magazines since they were in their early twenties. And I haven’t. I feel quite nervous about it! And having to do cover shoots while pregnant. You’re like, ‘Well, I’m pregnant. So, you know, I haven’t really got a waist anymore.’ I don’t enjoy the pregnancy bit of having big boobs, really.”
Motherhood & careers: “The question is really why do so many women?s careers take off just as they have children? Is it because you are risking everything in your relationship and the risk-taker in you carries through into your professional life? You have less time to worry and overanalyze ? maybe that’s it. Or the huntress instinct to provide for your family is awoken. [Either way,] with children you spend so much time reexperiencing the world as a child experiences it, and that has a nourishing effect on your imagination ? in my job, imagination is key.”

I get the feeling that Rosamund is a ?light? person in real life ? she just seems very easy-going and sweet, and I can totally see her getting along with Neil Patrick Harris. They probably had the best time together. But working with the Batfleck? I wonder. Oh, and you know what I learned in this? Rosamund named her son Solo. For real. His name is Solo Uniacke. That poor kid!!

When I read Gone Girl, I realized what a fascinating, weird and brilliant part ?Amy? would be for an actress. I hoped that Hollywood wouldn?t choose someone obvious like Gwyneth Paltrow or Reese Witherspoon or (God help us) Nicole Kidman. Thankfully, David Fincher signed on as director and he cast Rosamund Pike, an English actress known for her soft, sweet English beauty. The casting of Pike ? more than Ben Affleck ? convinced me that the Gone Girl adaptation is going to be good. Pike was and is an inspired choice, and I believe she?ll do an amazing job with Amy.
But for now, David Fincher is exerting his particular brand of Hitchcockian anal-retentiveness by trying to ?Rooney Mara? Pike. Fincher already photographed Pike and Affleck for Entertainment Weekly, and now he?s photographed her for W Magazine. Unlike the Mara stuff a few years ago, Fincher didn?t do a Gone Girl-themed shoot. I can?t even tell if this shoot has a theme. But Pike is beautiful and compelling. You can read the full article here, and here are some highlights:
Fincher on Pike: ?I liked that people didn?t immediately know who Rosamund was? I?d always liked Rosamund in movies, but I didn?t really know her. That made her very interesting.?
Being cast as a Bond Girl on her first audition: ?Before I was cast as a Bond girl, I had never actually seen a James Bond movie. The Bond audition was strange?I?d just come back from China, doing the kind of hippie-backpacking thing that people do when they leave school. All the girls in this beautiful old town house waiting to see the casting director were sleek and dressed in what seemed to me like leather. I was wearing something very thick and woolly. I was convinced I was all wrong.?
Early fame: ?The Bond film was like an ejector seat from normality into a crazy circus world. It was trial by fire. I was 21, and I was made to look far more sophisticated than I felt. Instantly, I had to come to terms with myself as a woman and also as an object. I was looking at myself from the outside for the first time. That awareness, for any girl, is both horrible and fascinating.?
Appearing on stage in London in the play Hitchcock Blonde: ?In Hitchcock Blonde, I had to do a 10-minute nude scene. Apart from some high heels, I was completely bare onstage. The play was about the male gaze, male expectations, and, finally, female power and the lack thereof. This girl had dark secrets, but she also wanted to be adored. Until Amy, I don?t know that I?d ever seen that combination in a character.?
Getting the part of Amy: She had not been given the script but had started reading the book, and she assumed that Fincher was talking to many actresses about the role. After several weeks of conversation, Fincher asked if Pike wanted to fly to St. Louis, where he was scouting locations. ?I said, ?I?ll swim to St. Louis.? We met there for two days.?? Weeks after returning to Scotland, Pike received a text message from Fincher, saying, ?You have the part,? which she accidentally erased. ?The only evidence I have that I got the call to play Amy is a selfie of me jumping in the rain in the Highlands. I look both happy and thoroughly daunted?the whole ?You got the best gig in years? scenario gives me the creeps. But then again, I?m a very hard worker, and maybe people who have underestimated me or just thought I looked good will say they were wrong.?
Being ordered to LA very quickly: ?[The producer] only gave us four days to get to L.A. And it was good that it was that fast because there was no time for me to panic. I do remember saying to David, ?I know you know I have this character in me; you zeroed in on me for good reason.? With David Fincher, it?s like being X-rayed?he sees things that you may not want anyone to see. Now I have to prove him right?I have to show the world that I?m as dark as he thinks I am.?

Rosamund is 35 years old now, but I could easily see how she is one of those actresses (like Cate Blanchett) who can go dramatically younger or older. So, I?m not worried about the progression of the Amy character. Now, the Nick character? How in the world is Ben Affleck going to play Nick in his 20s?!?! Or does that not matter? Jesus. Also: I?m starting to get creeped out by how much control David Fincher exerts over ?his actresses.?

I?ve always wanted Rosamund Pike to have a bigger career. I?ve always liked her, even when she was terribly miscast in Die Another Day, and I liked her even more when I saw her turn in period dramas like Pride & Prejudice and An Education. I even thought she was a really good candidate to play Grace Kelly in Grace of Monaco, a role that eventually went to Nicole Kidman and Botoxologist. So I?m very pleased with this news ? Rosamund Pike has maybe/probably scored a major role in what I?m sure will be a major movie of an adaptation of a major bestseller.
A few weeks ago, we heard that Ben Affleck was in talks to play Nick in David Fincher?s adaptation of Gone Girl. I believe that Ben has either finalized that deal or he?s close to it. And now the Hollywood Reporter says Rosamund will be his Amazing Amy. That is? really interesting casting.
David Fincher has found his Girl.
Rosamund Pike has been offered and is expected to accept the starring role opposite Ben Affleck in the 20th Century Fox mystery thriller Gone Girl, which is being co-financed 50-50 with New Regency, sources said. Neil Patrick Harris and Tyler Perry are being eyed for supporting roles.
Pike will play a wife who goes missing on her fifth wedding anniversary, as her husband (Affleck) becomes the prime suspect. Much of the story is told in flashbacks.
The British actress, who recently starred opposite Tom Cruise in Jack Reacher, landed the role that had Hollywood?s thirtysomething female set jockeying for the chance to work with Fincher. A number of actresses including Charlize Theron, Natalie Portman and Emily Blunt had been reported to be in the mix, but all were ruled out for various reasons including availability. Abbie Cornish and Olivia Wilde also had been considered.
Reese Witherspoon, who optioned the book last summer, is producing alongside Bruna Papandrea and Leslie Dixon.
The film is set to go into production in September. Author Gillian Flynn adapted the screenplay from her novel, which became one of the biggest sellers of 2012.
Pike recently shot the dramedy A Long Way Down opposite Aaron Paul. The busy actress? upcoming films also include Andy Hamilton and Guy Jenkin?s What We Did on Our Holiday, Fouad Mikati?s Return to Sender and Peter Chelsom’s Hector and the Search for Happiness.

So, I guess the story is going to be changed around a little bit so Nick is the older husband and Amy is the younger wife? Because Amy is older in the book. But just on looks and attitude and talent, I think Rosamund is an excellent choice for Amy. Amy needs to be pretty and blonde and smaller than Nick, and she needs to know how to look innocent and sweet one second and then like the most conniving, craziest person you?ve met. I would not have bought Charlize in the role, nor Natalie Portman. Abbie Cornish has the look, I guess, but I?m not really a fan of Cornish. Emily Blunt would have been interesting, but I think Rosamund will do a better job. As for Olivia Wilde? HAHAHAHAHA. What, was Blake Lively not available for a reading?
So, overall, I don?t have huge issues with Ben as Nick and Rosamund as Amy. I think Rosamund fits the role better than Ben fits Nick, so I still have a small hope that maybe Nick will be recast. Even if it?s not, though, it should be interesting. Let?s just say a blessing that David Fincher didn?t try to shoe-horn Rooney Mara into the role. And yay for Rosamund! She?s wonderful and I hope this role redefines her career.

Here is English Hot Actress Rosamund Pike Featuring on Esquire UK Magazine Cover Photoshoot in August 2013 Edition. Her Look in Black Bra attract all his fans.
Rosamund is now preparing for the release of her latest film The World’s End, a new British sci-fi comedy film.
The World’s End is the doomsday-centric conclusion of the Edgar Wright/Simon Pegg trilogy of films that began with the brilliant Shaun of the Dead. The film will see five old friends ? including Pike, Pegg and Martin Freeman ? reunite to complete a 20-year-old pub crawl. That is until, y’know, alien invaders get in the way. Bugger.

In anticipation of next Friday's release, Tom Cruise and Rosamund Park attended the premiere of their new film, "Jack Reacher" at the Callao cinema in Madrid, Spain on Thursday (December 13).
The 50-year-old actor faced the chilly Spanish weather in a dark sweater, jeans, and a blue winter coat while his likely chilly costar wore a long-sleeved short gold dress and open-toed heels.
Based on a character created by British author Lee Child, Jack is described as 6ft 5 in and weighing between 210 and 250 pounds.
If it seems like Tom Cruise might be a strange choice, the "Mission Impossible" star recently addressed the question to Reuters, saying, "You know, [Child] created the character. I had my own opinion that I didn't say to Lee and then he came back and pretty much reflected what I had felt about it. But had he said 'look I'd rather not,' I would not have played the character." He then described Reacher's size as a characteristic and not an entire being.
