More on the films casting after the jump.
First time actress Freida Pinto plays the oldest version of Latika across from Dev Patel in Danny Boyle‘s new movie Slumdog Millionaire.
In the film she is described as the most beautiful girl in the world, well that works in the film and outside of it. Freida is absolutely stunning inside and out. Sitting and talking to her about the film was an absolute pleasure because she spoke so openly and freely. She has worked very hard to break into the business and is extremely excited to have finally taken her first step. And what a step it is… She is amazing in the film and I’m sure has a huge career ahead of her.
She was more than happy to talk about the film, working in the slums, what it’s like trying to break into the business in India, and working with Danny Boyle as a first time actor.
There is something about Danny Boyle films. No matter how dark, honest, and gruesome they are, you always walk out of the theater with some kind of hope. Not hope for yourself, but hope for the world. That this world can be a better place and there are people out there, individuals that make it so. Slumdog Millionaire is just that, it is the perfect balance of the harsh realities and the true beauty of life in one awe-inspiring package.
The TV show “Who Wants to be a Millionaire” appears to be the backbone of the story until you realize that the show is actually a vehicle for love. Jamal (Dev Patel), is a boy from the slums who somehow manages to make it to the top. Of course, this is unbelievable to anyone on the show, so they try and torture the truth out of him. What they don’t know is that the reason he doesn’t quit, the reason he doesn’t take the money and run is because he is hoping that the love of his life Latika, who he knows is a fan of the show, might be watching. The longer he’s on the show, the better the chance of her seeing him.
