I didn't expect to be in those types of movies, and I got very carried away with taking on jobs for the sake of it, and just doing it. ![]() Yeah, I never really thought that I'd work in film. It seems like the parody element would be familiar to you. You're kind of like the character in that way. The movie parodies celebrity in this interesting way, and there's so much crazy stuff out there written about you. I talked to Arterton about the movie's own criticism of paparazzi culture and how it relates to her own fame, making a movie that no one necessarily expected to be a comedy, and why, much as she loves it, she really doesn't think Tamara Drewe is going to win an Oscar. In Tamara Drewe, based on Posy Simmonds' graphic novel that itself was inspired by Thomas Hardy's Far From The Madding Crowd, Arterton plays the titular character, a London-based columnist who causes a huge stir when she moves back out to the country home where she grew up. ![]() The fact that Arterton is so frank about the fact that those blockbusters- none of them well-received critically- weren't rewarding to her, and the fact that she's making these weird little movies at all, makes her one of the most interesting actresses working today who everyone wants to brush off.
