On screen, she is about to be paired with Michael Fassbender for the second time. In the forthcoming Romans vs Celts blockbuster Centurion she plays Arian, 'a necromancer who's very into her herbs and remedies. I spent a lot of time hanging out with goats in a hut. The smells really made you feel in the part.' She heals David Morrissey's wounded knee 'with a piece of thyme', but she is, she admits 'essentially a potential love interest for Michael Fassbender'.

Their chemistry will be reprised this summer when she plays Blanche Ingram opposite Fassbender's Mr Rochester in Cary Fukunaga's Jane Eyre. Fukunaga says he saw her playing Jane Austen's niece Fanny in Miss Austen Regrets for the BBC and was impressed by her sense of period. 'You can tell there's a lot going on behind the eyes, a fierce intelligence and humour. In Jane Eyre, she's an accomplished young lady who has to sing 1830s operetta and I asked her how she was going to sing it and she said, "Like Johnny Cash?" which I thought showed her sense of humour, which seems quite zany. I'm really looking forward to seeing how her face works on camera.'

As for Imogen, she says of her haracter: 'Blanche is self-obsessed and conniving and feels she can walk in and claim Mr Rochester. She's obsessed with class and money and she's pretty irritating as a person. I think everyone's met a Blanche, once or twice...'

Imogen Poots in Centurion

It's been a while since I updated the blog thing so I'll try to do some updates.

I rented Centurion a week or two ago on DVD. While not an amazing movie I thought it was not bad at all and I can see myself eventually buying it in the future. The movie tells the story of a handful of Roman soldiers who survived a massacre at the hands of Picts led by Olga Kurylenko (of Quantum of solace).

Imogen Poots popped up in the second half of the movie as an outcast Pict lady who helps the Romans. I was quite impressed by her and will be watching out for her future projects.

As an interesting aside the main Roman character was played by Michael Fassbender who is playing Rochester in the upcoming movie of Jane Eyre. Imogen Poots is playing Blanche Ingram in the same movie.

Imogen also appeared in 28 Weeks Later and the new TV remake of A Bouquet of Barbed Wire. She's also being connected to the new Spider-Man movie.

Here's an article from the Daily Mail website about her:
