Total Film brings you lots of bang for your buck this month, kicking off with our Sherlock special – the comprehensive guide to Conan Doyle’s super sleuth. We’ve bagged unlimited access to Guy Ritchie’s sequel, A Game Of Shadows, including interviews with stars Robert Downey Jr, Jude Law, Noomi Rapace and Jared Harris. Noomi Rapace felt like she was in “prison” while filming ‘Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows’. The actress plays the role of Sim in the Victorian-set Guy Ritchie-directed sequel starring Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law, and she admits she struggled wearing a corset as it was very restrictive. She told Total Film magazine: “The corset is the worst thing! You can’t really bend over, it feels like a prison, you can’t do anything and it’s painful. One day I was supposed to run, fall over, do a roll on the floor, stand up, grab a knife in my shoe and throw it. I was like, ‘F**k! I just want to cut this hair and have trousers and, like, come on!’ ” However she admits she had no problem fitting in on the set of the film because the male-led set were very friendly. She added: “It was actually very easy to come into their little group of boys. They were very open and they really invited me into the conversation and onto the journey they’ve been on since day one.”

Article courtesy The Los Angeles Times, October 26, 2010: In her native Sweden, actress Noomi Rapace has, as she says, lost her freedom. In her native Sweden, actress Noomi Rapace has, as she says, lost her freedom. “Everybody knows me. If I was sitting like this,” she said, glancing around the dimly lighted lobby of the Chateau Marmont during a recent trip to Hollywood, “people would be looking and somebody would come and ask for an autograph and people would probably be listening to us and what we’re saying. I can’t really just go out in Stockholm. I have to have a car waiting. I can’t take the bus. It’s not possible anymore.” That Rapace might soon lose her anonymity in the United States – where her star is rapidly rising after her turn in the movie adaptations of novelist Stieg Larsson’s Millennium Trilogy – is, not surprisingly, a prospect she finds somewhat terrifying. But as the popular Swedish-language franchise’s final film, “The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest,” hits theaters here Friday, the 30-year-old actress is facing an entirely new reality.

Article courtesy the San Franscisco Chronicle: On the phone, what jumps out about Sweden’s Noomi Rapace, who indelibly portrayed iron-willed woman of few words Lisbeth Salander in the “Millennium Trilogy” films, is her British-inflected English and rapid-fire, energetic speech. “I think she’s a beautiful example of how you can manage to survive and turn yourself from being a victim, being pissed on and treated so badly, how you can turn it into strength and into power,” she says of the much-beloved character. “She doesn’t feel pity for herself. She doesn’t complain. She always finds a way to act instead of being wrapped up in a lot of emotional issues. She’s a survivor and a fighter, and she’s trying every minute to free herself and not accept the destiny that everybody around her, pretty much, has forced her into. I think that’s pretty beautiful.”
