Re: Mary Magdalene

Thanks for the pics Sethan and Sparrow!

Rooney eyes on the crucifixion pic with the Roman soldier caught my interest. She seems to be say 'why is this happening'!

As expected here is a very strong performance with just eyes and face.

Thanks again guys and girls!

Re: Mary Magdalene

Jesus smoking a cigarette is remarkably cool.

Re: Mary Magdalene

Jesus can do what he wants but a vegan smoking a cigarette??? come on!

That pic of Mary Magdalene smoking in front of Jesus cracks me upso edgy. So seriously vegans can quit smoking. smoke some kale instead.

Re: Mary Magdalene

For the trivia Roons and Joaquin smoke a brand of cigarettes called American Spirit, a sort of organics cigarettes. I saw it in one of Jerusalems pics

Re: Mary Magdalene

Mary Magdalene smoking in front of bloody Jesus is even more cool

I guess this is that raw, realistic Mary's reaction on Jesus' crucifixion ? Have you seen this Ren_Oh ? It seems that smoking is very popular among the vegans

Roons also smoked in these Lion and Una set pics:

It's terribly unhealthy of course but at the same time cool and sexy. Almost all great actresses were heavy smokers. It was once a sign of class and glamour. Let's hope that this will not take a toll on Rooney's youthful appearance prematurely.


I'm a smoker myself, not heavy but occasional. But then, I'm just a semi-vegan

Edit: If Rooney and Joaquin smoke American Spirit it's OK then. Although this article disagrees: http://www.iquit-smoking.com/american-spirit-tobacco.htm5b4l

Yes, i think Mary looks super edgy:

And really cracks me up, so hilarious. Also, Mayim Bialik from the Big Bang theory who is vegan and when her character used to light cigarets to her lab monkey I laughted so hard But then in real life there you have the guy who convinced me to turn vegan (earthlings) and my favorite actress ever consuming organic stuff that is not Kale. Im worried about her health, I wanted her a long happy healthy live full of movies. I was a heavy smoker as an omnivorous, in my late teens I used to smoke 2 packs of 20 during exams, then a few years ago sometimes a pack of the shorter 25, I managed to cut half of that pack a day, then It would be a few puffs of that half. I remember to hate the smell of cigarets on me, my yellow fingers and having to go to the dentist to clean all that yellow. I tried not to buy them, but I would go out in the middle of the night to buy a pack. I tried those vapour cigab68rettes, ugh. Then as a vegetarian, I noticed the anxiety was gone or I had way less more. The first month was difficult, but then I was ok and hated all the smoke of that the guy who moved next door and I had to move, I remember going to visit my mom and asking her to smoke outside lol, buy now she has quit smoking too. Once I tried to do numbers, to see how much I have spent on cigarets, and I got so upset.

Yes Ive seen those pics of Una and Lion before, I knew Rooney smoked during TGWTDT shooting, but just when she was in character. Then I guess it all re-started with Therese. It seems to me she only smokes now whenever she has to shoot? I have never seen a pic of her smoking while she does her errands.

Oh, nice! what do you mean semi-vegan? I mostly used the term vegetarian because my friends hate to word vegan, Im vegan at home, but sometimes when I go out and have no choice, I have some chesse. I have to carry food everywhere.

I think I have read that article before, if the organic certification is corrupted even for food, what else could we expect of the rest. What is sad is that the label organic, make people feel safe and authorities allow that. It is like carrageenan, organic and vegan but linked to cancer.

Re: Mary Magdalene

I'd be almost "full" vegan but two things prevents me from that. In summer I usually eat seafood only with all vegetables and fruit. And turkey meat sometimes in other periods of year. Never liked chicken).

But I still LOVE chocolate ! I'm skinny (65 kg, 143 lbs) for my height (186 cm, 6'1). Everyone says that I have to gain some weight but for some reason it just doesn't work. Even chocolate doesn't help.


Thanks for that Rooney photo. She really looks "Patti Smith" in that one. It would be refreshingly weird to see Rooney misbehaving in studio just once !



Fassbender - Mara - Blanchett - Phoenix

Re: Mary Magdalene

LOl, maybe you have the metabolism of Salander. Lucky you! I have to practice sports and watch out what I put in my mouth, but normally I eat very healthy. I love chocolate too and I have to behave whenever i eat.

I used to eat lots of fish, and that is one of the taste I always crave, I try to avoid processed stuff but there is this brand here of fake meats Gardein that has a fake fish that really makes you feel guilty. Also I cut firm or semi-firm tofu like a filet, ad some salt, black pepper, onion and garlic powder, then wrap it with nori, add some flour, and cook it with a little vegan margarine, it really tastes like fish. I havent find yet anything like raw fish. Sometimes my salad taste like tuna when i ad sunflower seeds, tomatoes, garbanzo peas and vinaigrette with lime juice.

That picture must be one of the most accidentally badass shoots.

Re: Mary Magdalene

I love this forum! So much nice banter among friends and Rooney fans. Too bad it's too much of a rarity nowadays in the internet.

Re: Mary Magdalene



This definitely is a pretty special place

Re: Mary Magdalene

Wow! more! thank you! I can't wait to see this, so dramatic.

Re: Mary Magdalene

Thank you! they are amazing. lol all those years in elementary school watching scenes like this every single Easter, so not spoiler at all

Re: Mary Magdalene

Greig Fraser, cinematographer of 'Lion', and 'Mary Magdalene' about Rooney;



So here I am, as cinematographer, watching this performance unfold right in front of me as close as we are now and then on this monitor. The scene overran, as in, the actress kept going and the director didnt call cut. I expected him to because I was hurting. My body was in absolute, abject agony but the reason he didnt cut is the reason why my body couldnt move.

My body just froze; literally seized up. Every pore of my body froze because I couldnt not commit this to film. [Laughs] If I was watching this and then, suddenly, had to move, what an *beep* What an *beep* I, then, would be the *beep* that stopped the world from seeing this amazing performance. Do you know what I mean? Its not just me holding it. Its me going, The world is going to have to watch this performance, and, if I stop it, Im a *beep* My body just seized. Froze.


How great is Rooney Mara?

How great is Rooney Mara? Rooney Maras great. I mean, what can I say? I cant lie to you: shes an incredibly photogenic and incredibly inspiring actress. Shes one of, if not the best, of her era, of her ilk. Every time she walks in the frame, you go, Ah. The world is good again. So, yeah, no shes amazing. And to light, shes incredible. She actually emits light; she exudes light.

Re: Mary Magdalene

Charles

Re: Mary Magdalene

Thank You Mortimer! they still have to shoot at least in Napoli and Israel and the other place I forgot? maybe they decided to shoot the whole thing just in Italy I guess It would be dangerous for all the religious people over there.

Re: Mary Magdalene

Re: Mary Magdalene

Thanks Mortimer, really cool stuff!

Re: Mary Magdalene

Re: Mary Magdalene

Probably somewhere around the second week of December.

Re: Mary Magdalene

Thank you! wow, she looks so tired, even like that she looks great.

Re: Mary Magdalene

Lunch with her vegan buddy.

Re: Mary Magdalene

Thanks. Every day have more expectations. I need Garth Davis on top of his powers on MM. Joaquin & Rooney together can't be wasted.

I love the pictures and how good friends they seems to be. The press conference of Many Magdalene will be so awkwardly priceless :)

Re: Mary Magdalene

I know right? Both seem to be the kind of people who look like they want to get out even before they got there I love awkward interviews, so I'm totally looking forward to it

Re: Mary Magdalene

Re: Mary Magdalene

More photos from Naples:

The awakening of Naples at the time of the Gospel. The north-east wind freezes at dawn the colonnade del Plebiscito, it turned in the temple of Jerusalem. Among the marble colonnade turns "Mary Magdalene": the epic on the follower of Jesus reconstructs a key episode of the coming of the Messiah. And the heart of the city for two days becomes a pharaonic lashed by the wind set. Unkempt beard and long hair, the star Joaquin Phoenix provides the face to Jesus. The star of "Gladiator" comes early in front of the Basilica of San Francesco di Paola: "Wonderful." It stroll hemicycle crowded with 400 extras wrapped in blankets powder blue, while the crew distributes cups of broth and hot drinks every stop from shooting. To the big screen by director Garth Davis, men and women are discovered. Light tunics, turbans and vintage sandals. It comes alive as a pastel-colored fresco that recalls the biblical scene of the expulsion of the merchants from the temple. The international crew "is enraptured by the beauty of Naples - tell the extras - faces excited in front of"
The set is armored, a double row of sheds and truck marks the workspace. The means used for transportation of equipment and extras come and go from the racecourse of Agnano, the headquarters of the blockbuster. Meanwhile, in the Chamber lit by torches, some set play in the crowd while a flock of sheep and goats across the square. Three newsstands cut the staircase: have the stage to present the goods for sale in Jerusalem. A butcher with bloodstained apron screams for attention, a woman bends under the weight of a cage full of white doves wicker.

The action is breathtaking: Jesus-Phoenix enters the temple, driving the money and then goes away protected by two wings of the crowd. It is the second part of a single sequence shot in three locations: the messiah arrives at Castel Sant 'Elmo, is in Piazza del Plebiscito and walks away in Bourbon Gallery. The anachronistic elements, including characters engraved on the lintel of the facade of the basilica of San Francesco di Paola, disappear in post production.

Shooting will end today, after some difficulties caused by bad weather. The first shots have been beaten Tuesday in the fortress of San Martino and the underground tunnel. The film is produced by Porchlight Films with Universal, See-Saw and Film4. The project is managed by the Rapa Agency and the Film Commission. The crew of more than 300 people have booked many rooms on the seafront. In the lead role is Rooney Mara, an Oscar nominee for "Millennium - Men Who Hate Women" and "Carol". The young star is thus the last of the actresses to have lent her face to Mary Magdalene for the big screen. A voluminous list, distinguished by Jacqueline Logan and Carmen Sevilla in the two versions of the film "King of Kings" (1927 and 1961), Paola Pitagora in "Barabbas" (1961), Barbara Hershey in "The Last Temptation of Christ" (1988) and Monica Bellucci in "the passion

Re: Mary Magdalene

Thanks a lot for the pics. This looks so damn exciting.

Re: Mary Magdalene

Thank you for the pics Mortimer! now it comes to my mind images from my childhood, they used to make us watch Jesus movies in school, I remember the scene of Jesus outside the Temple with the merchants.

Re: Mary Magdalene

So today is the last day of filming?

Re: Mary Magdalene

Iain Canning and Emile Sherman (Producers) on MM


Any concerns that Mary Magdalene, starring Rooney Mara, will spark controversy among conservative Christians?

Canning: No. We wanted to address the misunderstanding, or idea that Mary Magdalene also was Mary the prostitute. Even the Catholic Church now agrees it is an amalgamation of the two.

Sherman: The film isn't radical and is faithful to the Bible in many ways. Mary was one of few, if not the only, females that went with Jesus Christ to Jerusalem. She was there at the crucifixion and the resurrection. For women of faith, as well as men, it offers a real opportunity to celebrate a woman as part of that story.

Canning: When we were scouting in Jerusalem, we met a 2000Catholic nun who asked us what we were making the film about. When we told her, she said, "Please, don't make her a prostitute." And we said, "We're not, we're not." She said, "Thank you, because she is not here to defend herself."

Joaquin Phoenix plays Jesus in the film, while Chiwetel Ejiofor plays the apostle Peter. Will Ejiofor's casting prompt debate?

Sherman: Color-blind casting is exciting. As producers, we need to be responsible and lead the discussion regarding diversity instead of hiding behind "we're just doing our jobs." Also, we want to capture the ethnicity of the place. The people we've cast and the accents we're using haven't been seen before in terms of stories about Jesus.
