Alice Englert

[Prairie]

AGE 18

HOMETOWN Sydney, Australia

MAGIC ACT In next year's Beautiful Creatures—a big-screen adaptation of the best-selling book—Alice plays Lena, "a girl who has control over the elements" and is persecuted by the "small-minded" residents of her town. "I sort of saw her as the suffragette of the supernatural world," she says. (First, she's a 1960s schoolgirl, with Elle Fanning, in Ginger and Rosa.)

FAMILY BUSINESS Alice's father is a producer, and her mother is the writer-director Jane Campion, so she grew up on film sets. "They were supportive yet also sane, so they warned me that this can be a very hard industry. But they couldn't scare me off!"

About time! I've been looking for this. Her mom is one of my heroes actually.

omg, she has her own thread

 

[physicalgraffiti]

I thought she already had her own thread. Heh.

I think she's so lovely.

I thought she already had her own thread. Heh.

Really? I couldn't find it, so created this one.

I had no idea Jane Campion was her mother. Every time I see the Beautiful Creatures poster, I keep thinking it's Rooney Mara.

She needs a good tailor. Most of her outfits are ill-fitting.

 

[chickadee]

^^^ That and just generally granny-ish. She needs to throw a good bonfire.

 

[Hchloe]

So she's Jane Campion's daughter. That explains so much.

LOL, like what? How she's getting roles or why she's so pretentious?

I love Jane Campion to pieces, she's a hero of mine, and refreshingly real and unflinching when it comes to writing/directing stories about women as opposed to Kathryn Bigelow and Sofia Coppola, both of whom utilize the male gaze to some degree in their films. But I do know that some people find her to be a pill. Alice, however, has yet to prove herself IMO. So far I think she has potential. I was really excited to see what kind of actress she was considering her lineage, but while she's not as bad as some others (*cough*Emma Roberts*) she was out-shined easily by Elle Fanning in "Ginger & Rosa" and "Beautiful Creatures" was was such a dud it's not even worth mentioning.

 

[LuellaLuella]

I think she tries too hard to be "different" and "quirky", but really her clothes are unflattering.

Especially her shoes
