Knowing : Behind The Scenes
with Rose Byrne
Watch The
Trailer: Knowing
It's
one thing to have to endure a movie starring Nicholas Cage - but it's
an entirely different kettle of fish having to sit through the glorious
beauty of Australian Rose Byrne.
While Hugh Jackman, Eric Bana
and Russell Crowe wave the Aussie flag in the eyes of Hollywood, Rose
Byrne has gone relatively unnoticed - despite boasting a CV more
impressive than most of her male peers.
From humble begininngs in the delightful The Rage In Placid Lake (with singer Ben Lee), to the big budget Troy (yep, she is the dastardly gal who got to hook in with Brad Pitt) as well as helming the popular TV series Damages - this gal has pretty much done it all... and with a minimal amount of fuss.
Her latest is Knowing (which was shot in Melbourne) and as this interview attests - it's all about being Australian!
For those who are interested, the film follows Professor Ted Myles,
whose son returns home from school with a piece of paper that had been
buried in a time capsule for 50 years.
Cryptic rows of
apparently random numbers written on the page contain an encoded
message which has predicted the details of every major disaster of the
past 50 years, including three that have yet to happen - oh yeah,
and one little one that involves destruction on a global scale.
With
time running out, Ted's attempts to alert the authorities fall on deaf
ears so he takes it upon himself to try to prevent more destruction -
and perhaps the ultimate disaster - from taking place.
Cheesy as hell - but why not - after all, it's directed by the man behind The Crow and I, Robot.
KNOWING is in
cinemas from March 26th, 2009
