Cinema Confidential writes: With remarkable performances in films like “Young Adam,” “The Deep End,” and Tim Roth’s “The War Zone,” Tilda Swinton has quietly built a reputation as one of the most striking actresses on the independent scene. But come next December, moviegoers are likely to see Swinton in a very different light. As Jadis, the White Witch, Swinton has taken on the most anticipated role in one of this year’s most anticipated studio films- “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe.” When I meet Swinton on the first day of my weeklong visit to Narnia’s New Zealand set, she doesn’t look much like the diabolical White Witch. Dressed simply in slacks (no sweeping robes or excessive makeup for this actress), Swinton spent several minutes chatting charmingly about director Andrew Adamson’s Narnia interpretation with members of the online press. It’s hard to imagine someone so nice playing such an evil character, but I’m sure Swinton will more than pull it off. [More]
