So what happened to her after bond and prince of persia


I found out that she existed because of these two movies, but haven't seen her in anything since then. Is she not in high profile hollywood movies anymore ?

I know at least an other three Hollywood projects. Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters, Runner, runner and The voices. She's very busy by filming of several Europian movies.

I hope she learns her lesson for saying no t Hollywood. You have ti be greatful that a lot of other people would be dying to be cast in hollywood movies..

At first she was afraid to speak out as she felt it would sound ungrateful.

How dare she attempt to pursue work that she actually finds satisfying.

It's a clear choice--Hollywood = money + stardom, or elsewhere = decent films and plays, plus respect for your work. Either is a bad or good choice, depending on what the person wants. And Gemma made her preference pretty clear after experiencing Hollywood: "I had to call my agent and say no more of that *beep*

I hope she learns her lesson for saying no t Hollywood. You have ti be greatful that a lot of other people would be dying to be cast in hollywood moviesWell then, a lot of people will be grateful to her for leaving space for them to fill in the money and stardom milieu.

It's not just Hollywood though, her view of her native UK: "There is more envy, so there's more need to know what's going on in celebrity lives. ... I think in the UK we are copying America quite a lot." That's why she's been operating in France lately, where there's a much more mature view of people in the public eye.

Having lived in both UK and US, I think she's spot on--the UK is definitely the most US-like culture in Europe. Great for those it suits, and lots of alternative choices for those it doesn't. It's a credit to Gemma that she was able to identify her needs so clearly while still in her 20s.

Wow she's such a spoiled looser. A lot of actress would die to be cast in the next Mission impossible or an avenger movie. Hollywood wont be knocking on her doors anymore.

I say good for her. If she wasn't into the whole Hollywood blockbuster thing, she'd just make herself miserable continuing to do it.

She's happy doing what she's doing and the roles she's getting. Having a job you love to do isn't a job at all.
