The power-hungry aristocrat: Balem in Jupiter Ascending

Excerpt from the USA TODAY article by Brian Truitt, published today (April 27, 2014): 


Eddie Redmayne doesn't usually get to play damaged, borderline-insane guys, but with Andy and Lana Wachowski's new sci-fi movieJupiter Ascending (July 18), he chews outer-space scenery as the villainous Balem Abrasax.



The operatic and expansive Jupiter Ascending is set in a future where families own planets for business purposes. Balem happens to own the title to Earth, and he is a Richard III type who is all about the profit margin.
Things get complicated for him, though, when Earth girl Jupiter Jones (Mila Kunis) is revealed as a no-nonsense Cinderella figure who is actually the heir to her planet. Balem puts a bounty on her head - that's when the heroic
Caine (Channing Tatum) gets involved to keep her safe long enough to rise to her rightful place.




"It's almost Shakespearean really, with interfamily bickering and them trying to usurp each other's power," Redmayne says of Balem and his siblings (Douglas Booth and Tuppence Middleton). "Then you throw Mila into 
the mix and it all becomes quite chaotic." - the siblings on gifs

    1. Én is örülök neked. Kevés magyar rajongót ismerek. Nem tudom, hogy rajongó vagy-e, de ha "csak" kedveled, már az is nagy örömmel tölt el. Sokan nem is ismerik itthon. Ennek az egyik oka szerintem az, hogy annyira azonosul a szerepével, hogy őt már szinte nem is látni, a másik pedig az, hogy sok filmje korhatáros és este 10 után adják a tévében. Ha van rajongói blogod kérlek add meg a linkjét vagy címét, kíváncsi vagyok rá. Üdv.
