FINALLY!!
Role switch not so alien

She has been described as having an alien look, but can Gemma Ward pull off the angel of mercy look? The world's number two runway/editorial model may have to ditch the next European show season if funding comes through for The Black Balloon, the debut feature of the filmmaker Elissa Down. Ward is to co-star as Jackie, a teenager who helps her boyfriend accept his brother's autism. Down says the 12-week shoot is due to start later this year, timing which could clash with the spring/summer 2007 runway season, when Ward stands to earn about $680,000.

The Black Balloon is very close to home for Down, who has two autistic brothers. She described Jackie as a "lamplighter - one of those characters who take wounded people under their wing" and wrote the part with Ward in mind shortly after the then unknown 13-year-old Perth teenager appeared in Down's 2001 short Pink Pyjamas.

"Who would think that at the start of the process, in 2002, that she would go and become famous? It's like 'Thanks for that'," Down says.

The filmmaker may need to rethink the film's title after being mortified to discover recently that Black Balloon is street jargon for heroin paraphernalia.

Down says: "It's not the best look when you're trying to market a film to teenagers."

thanks for the scan pandinha. and on another note, v for vendetta is a really good movie!

 

[Pashen'ka]

^ I still haven't seen the movie but the original graphic novel by Alan Moore & David Lloyd is one of the best ever

I wish that models like Gemma became main-stream celebrities so that there would be paparazzi pictures of them. I'd much rather see Gemma going shopping and walking around than Paris Hilton or whoever. I mean, the paparazzi stink but candids of Gemma are so hard to come by!!

Woh, fantastic scans in the past few pages! I have to admit, to start with, I wasn't insanely obsessed with that first Hermes ad, but now after seeing the other two, I think I have to seriously declare them as my favourite ads of this season! They are gorgeous! Especially the one of the close-up of her head with the silk scarf tied around her hair

^They are gorgeous, aren't they? My favorite one is the coral dress -- she looks like she's having so much fun there

 

[lcc123]

[yogini108]

Me too! I was reading a magazine and saw it in there and was just like 'waauw!' [haha just like that] because its super eye catching
Gemma is so amazing these days!

 

[Pashen'ka]

I must confess I too that Hermès orange dress, but imho she looked better in it on catwalk than in the ad...
