| Olivia Wilde, Star of Tron Legacy , Cowboys & Aliens talks to Paul Byrne for www.movies.ie From the Gaiety to Tron Legacy, Olivia Wilde has come a long way, baby. With an Italian prince by her side. Being dubbed 'the new Megan Fox' is, of course, a compliment most young Hollywood starlets would happily take upon their shoulders. But not all. Fox may be a fantasy for many a frustrated teenage boy, but a noted actress she is not - despite her utterly convincing turn as a greasy mechanic in the Transformers franchise. Olivia Wilde, on the other hand, is a young Hollywood starlet who's plainly not in this just for the ad campaigns. Having first become something of a face, if not a name, in the US through her recurring role as Dr. Remy Hadley in Hugh Laurie's hugely successful medic drama House, Wilde is about to dominate your local multiplex for the next year. Arriving in January is the highly-anticipated Cowboys & Aliens, Harrison Ford and Daniel Craig battling it out to save the planet and get Ms. Wilde. Jennifer Garner and Hugh Jackman will be her co-stars in the spring, when Butter pops up in our cinemas, whilst later in the year, Justin Timberlake will see if his charms can work their wonders on Olivia in Now. In the meantime, Wilde - who's currently shooting The Change-Up with Ryan Reynolds (People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive 2010) and Jason Bateman - will have her first big Hollywood close-up, Tron: Legacy, hit screens around the world on December 17th. So, you know ... |
