Christine, the spy who loved Ian Fleming, gets her own movie

The story of beautiful wartime spy Christine Granville, who was Ian Fleming’s lover and the inspiration for the James Bond character Vesper Lynd, is to be made into a major film.

Entitled Christine: War My Love, the big-budget movie is expected to begin filming in June with a ‘Hollywood A-lister’ in the title role.

The production team has yet to finalise who its star will be but Oscar-nominated Kate Winslet is one of the names said to be interested in the part.

Wartime heroine: Christine Granville was stabbed to death
Also in the running is French actress Eva Green, who won a Bafta for her portrayal of Vesper in Casino Royale, Daniel Craig’s debut as Fleming’s 007.

The movie will tell the story of the Polish countess Krystyna Skarbek, who adopted the name Christine Granville for her wartime exploits with Britain’s Special Operations Executive.

Dubbed ‘Churchill’s favourite spy’, she was awarded the George Medal for her work against the Gestapo.

Seductive: Eva Green as Vesper Lynd

Her courageous actions, including a treacherous crossing into her native Poland from Hungary with the help of an Olympic skiing champion, helped saved countless lives.
After the war, she drifted into a series of affairs – including one with Fleming – before enrolling as a stewardess on a cruise ship where she met the man who was to murder her in 1952.

The film is now in pre-production and will be directed by Agnieszka Holland, whose credits include Total Eclipse, starring Leonardo DiCaprio.


Ms Holland said: ‘Krystyna was almost certainly the most remarkable female spy of the Second World War. She was intelligent, courageous, seductive and bewitchingly attractive and men were willing to sacrifice everything for her and go to any lengths to have and keep her.’

Skarbek’s cloak-and-dagger exploits saw daring raids into occupied Poland, with forays into Egypt and Syria. Parachuted into occupied France in 1944, she took on the persona ‘Pauline Armand’ to rally the Resistance.

After the war, Skarbek apparently found it difficult to settle. She took a job as a stewardess on a liner between Southampton and Australia, where she befriended the man who would later kill her.

Eva Green and Daniel Craig prepare to kiss in a scene from Casino Royale
An inadequate loner and obsessive, Dennis Muldowney turned into a pest, leading to a final confrontation at a hotel in Kensington. In a fit of rage, Muldowney brutally stabbed her to death. She was 44.

Muldowney was sentenced to death at the Old Bailey, declaring on the way to the gallows: ‘To kill is the final possession.’

James Bond casting director Debbie McWilliams, who chose Eva Green to play Vesper, is currently auditioning actresses for the title role. She said: ‘We are looking for a Hollywood A-lister to carry this wonderful story.’

That sounds like a great role for Eva, but I think it's too close to her part as Vesper. It's like Angelina Jolie playing all those hired assasins. But I don't think Kate Winslet seems like a good choice.

Such a beauty in the purple dress, I love her makeup there.

 

[Captain_Lydia]

I think it's been enough time between the roles. It sounds like a great part for any actress with talent, but I don't think Kate's the right cast. I know she would do it perfectly but I'd like to see Eva get it or some other lesser known actress because it sounds like it could be a good role to "break through" with.

[finchesthalia]

[Captain_Lydia]

Oh my god, she is so guuuuuhh! I loved that photoshoot.

 

[PinkAddiction]

i like her eyes!!! she has witch eyes! lol

 

[aycotqone]

I think Eva would be perfect in the role. But i think it would be a bad idea if Kate got offered it.

about "Christine: War My Love" (from EvaGreenWeb.com

Eva’s management say that they’ve heard about the project, but there’s no discussion at the moment about Eva.

....she has signed on to a new film though

from EvaGreenWeb.com:

– Thanks to Miss Green’s management for keeping us posted on the veracity or not of her projects: “Variety do jump the gun a bit sometimes! Eva hasn’t technically signed as yet, it’s nearly there and she has agreed to star in principal. It’s very close, due to start shooting next week!” They’ve also kindly sent me the “Womb” Press Release that you can read here. And let me confirm this once and for all, “Franklyn” comes out on Feb 27th in the UK. –

from Variety.com:

Eva Green has signed to star in the futuristic drama “Womb,” Hungarian helmer Benedek Fliegauf’s first English-language film.
Produced by Roman Paul and Gerhard Meixner of Berlin-based Razor Film (“Waltz With Bashir”) and Andras Muhi of Inforg Studio Budapest, pic tells the story of a grieving widow, played by Green, who decides to clone her late husband. Matt Smith (who has been tapped to replace David Tennant in the BBC’s “Dr. Who”) co-stars.
Cedomir Kolar and Marc Baschet of Paris-based ASAP Films, ZDF/ Arte and Arte Cinema are co-producing the film.
Fliegauf, who won a Golden Leopard in Locarno in 2007 for his experimental pic “Milky Way,” will begin production on the film in March on the North Sea coast.
“‘Womb’ is one of the most touching and impressive love stories we have read in recent times,” said Michael Weber, managing director of the Match Factory, which is handling international sales on the pic.

PS: has anyone here already seen Franklyn?

 

[Nimue]

I love how elegant and beautiful she is.

 

[JunyaSchick]

she looks so natural and gorgeouswhen she is just herself (without HC dresses and no-modelling poses) like in madame figaro scans...

 

[GasolineRainbow]

I admire how she chooses to work in films with challenging, unusual storylines. Often films like that don't work well on screen, so it takes courage to participate in them.

 

[musegirl]

she;s so cute in the pictures where she's in china. her smile is adorable.
