Breuls confirmed that Corsan has finally completed its very long-gestating Roland Joffe epic Singularity and aims to launch the film at an autumn festival.

“It’s in the can,” Breuls said of the film, a drama streching from the Great Barrier Reef in 2010 to India in the eighteenth century.

Bipasha is a nice person: Alice Englert

Richa Shukla, TNN | Apr 26, 2011, 12.00am IST

In showbiz, lineage really matters, but actor Alice Englert has successfully managed to move out of her parents' shadow, both illustrious film-makers.

Born in New Zealand to a celebrity couple, Oscar-winning director Jane Campion and film-maker Colin Englert, the 17-year-old actor can already boast a life marked by various achievements. Alice is playing the character of a Brit girl, Dolly, in director Roland Joffé's " Singularity", which is being shot at various locations across India. She also a singer, guitarist, songwriter, and
poetess — all rolled into one.

Exploring India
Alice suffered a heatstroke during the shoot of the film and was hospitalized for two days. "I am fine now. I spent a whole month shooting in extreme heat. But I think wearing those heavy costumes under the hot sun for a whole month has made me much stronger. Now, I can live and survive in the heat of India," said Alice. Talking about her experience in India, she added, "It was a fun experience to shoot here, exploring the heritage that the country stands for. Orchha (Madhya Pradesh) has so many temples. Once after the shooting, we went to a Ram temple where I got to watch a staging of a few acts from the Ramayana."

Her role in the film "Singularity", she said, "is that of a teenage daughter of a British colonel who died while fighting the Indian soldiers, but his daughter manages to escape."

Bipasha to her rescue
Alice recalled how while shooting for a scene in Orchha, she was besieged by a huge crowd and was rescued by actor Bipasha Basu in true filmi style. Appreciating her, Alice said, "On that day, while shooting, I found myself surrounded by a huge crowd and did not know what to do. Suddenly, Bipasha appeared and rushed me to her car." The actor is also all praise for Bipasha. "Bipasha is a nice person. I enjoyed working with her. She's got a perfect body," she said.

Shopping and mehendi
Alice made the most of her stay in Jaipur by indulging in a lot of retail therapy. After spending two days exploring the city's markets, she bought some block-printed textiles and silver
jewellery studded with semi-precious stones. She also went to Sanganer to pick up some traditional textiles. And before leaving for Sydney, she made sure that her hands were adorned with mehendi. "Trip to Jaipur would definitely be incomplete without shopping and mehendi on my hands," said Alice, showing off her orangish-mehendi.

Old connection
Alice is not new to Rajasthan and keeps coming to the state to meet her family friend Vyas, who shares a close bond with her mother Jane Campion. "She is just like a daughter to our family and yoga is the connecting bridge between us," said yoga expert Atul Vyas about Alice.

During her two-day stay with the family, Alice was also a part of Atul's yoga sessions. Enjoying lassi, papad and tadka daal, the actor said, "Jaipur is more like a second home for me. I love to come here and will be back within few months with my mom."

‘York' role of a lifetime: Nicolson
April 22, 2011   1:27:54 PM

Team Viva

A Yorkshireman spurs on the sets of the film Singularity, a few curious on lookers assume him for the actor in the main role. Riding a horse through the dusty landscape of Orchha, Steve Nicolson plays the role of 'York', a captain in the British East India Company invading the palaces in the epic based on the Anglo-Maratha war of 1779.

A role in Roland Joffe film is an opportunity that Nicolson does not want to pass by and has been working with this voice for the role.

Nicolson believes it is a good fortune that he got a casting call for the role of 'York' coming on the back of Hollywood hits like Johnny English (2003), K-19: The Widowmaker (2002) and Bravo Two Zero (1999).

The right voice and horse riding skills got him the role of 'York' who is an incredibly bitter person, said Nicolson. The back story of Nicolson making to a Roland Joffe film, he said is that he was filming for a British Television production Made in Romania (2010) when he learnt of Singularity. Nicolson sent his show reel to Joffe who cast him in the role of 'York'.

Roland Joffe is one of the coolest people to work with, said Nicolson. He considered himself fortunate working with top professionals in the industry. Nicolson admits Joffe does not interfere with an actor and gives them freedom and liberty to perform.

Filming with Hollywood star Josh Hartnett, whom Nicolson describes as a 'cool' customer. Hartnett is a nice guy, fine artist and very kind person, said Nicolson. However, Nicolson is amazed with the fan following of Indian actors especially Bipasa Basu and Abhay Deol.

Working in India is an experience of a lifetime. The Yorkshireman wonders how the officers wore full-bottomed wigs in the hot environment of India. He said I cannot imagine why the British wore those 'wigs' in steamy hot weather of the sub-continent.

Finally Nicolson, says when he came to India, he was told to take the anti-malarial medication, after which he had strange dreams. Having noticed it for a couple of days, one day he asked Roland the same who replied "Yes off course, it's a dream worth having, you are working in my film now." Dreams do come true, here one for the gritty Yorkshireman.

Abhay Deol's a yoga teacher?

There seems to be a problem on the sets of Bipasha Basu's Hollywood film Singularity being shot in Orchha. 

Fitness freaks Bips and her co-star Josh Hartnetthaven't got a gym at their disposal as their hotel doesn't have the facility. But they've found a trouble-shooter in Abhay Deol, who is also part of the cast. "Abhay has turned into their yoga guru. 

His classes are pulling in more and more cast and crew members of the movie. Josh and Bips have become great fans of his sessions. Abhay is very serious about yoga and is fanatical about people being regular." Maybe he should have a few classes for Anil and Sonam Kapoor, who are still breathing fire over his uncomplimentary comments about their production, Aisha. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/bollywood/news-int...
