Gemma Ward

Black Balloon Stills

I'm not sure if all of these have been posted, but I'm sure the one's that have were not HQ versions.




 
Thanks for posting them anyway. ^_^

The second picture of Gemma clapping has such an emotion to it that I expect this movie to be spectacular!
 
I've just watched the trailer... Looks like an OK movie, I'm sure nobody in this thread would care about it if it wasn't for Gemma, but I love Toni Colette and Gemma looks (and sounds) great so I'll probably watch it
 
Well I think the story line is interesting and would've checked the film out anyway, if I'd came across it and if I'd be able to since I live in Holland. But thing is, having Gemma playing in it definitely gives the film more knowledge and interest.

FASHION SCOOPS: Gemma's Balloon...

Published: Thursday, December 27, 2007
GEMMA'S BALLOON: Gemma Ward will have something other than walking the runways on her mind come February: walking the red carpet in Berlin for the world premiere of her debut feature film.

"The Black Balloon" has just been selected for the "Generation 14 Plus" youth competition of the 58th Berlin International Film Festival, which runs Feb. 7 to 17. Ward costars with an Australian cast that includes Toni Collette and two other newcomers, Rhys Wakefield and Luke Ford, in a story about autism — a subject close to director Elissa Down, who has two autistic brothers.

Ward plays a teenager named Jackie, who, according to Down, is a "lamplighter" character who helps her boyfriend come to terms with his brother's disability. It's not Ward's first film role. In 2001, then a totally unknown Perth teenager, she appeared in Down's short "Pink Pyjamas." Down, also originally from Perth, in fact wrote the part of Jackie with Ward in mind.

Due for a March Australian release through Icon Films, "The Black Balloon" will most likely beat "The Strangers" to the post as Ward's first big-screen role — that's the Bryan Bertino-directed U.S. suspense thriller in which Ward plays a masked intruder alongside Liv Tyler, Scott Speedman and Laura Margolis.

But will Ward prove to be just another so-so model-turned-actor? Not according to Australian film critic Lynden Barber, who saw a preview and described Ward's performance as "surprisingly impressive" in "one of the strongest Australian films of the last few years."

Noted Down of the Berlin nod, "We were absolutely wrapped by the news. It's just fantastic to be able to launch at such a prestigious festival."

Collette is going to be busy: She also stars in "Hey, Hey, It's Esther Blueburger," one of three Australian features selected for Berlin's official program.
