Emily Browning
Interview
Emily Browning was born in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia on December 7, 1988. She is a Sagittarius. She is the daughter of Andrew Browning and Shelley Browning. During childhood, she developed a strong interest in photography and design. She was also an avid reader who participated in school plays. Her talent was spotted, leading to parts in Australian television productions, a common road to film roles for young folks living down under.
Fun Fact : Emily Browning turned down the role of Bella Swan in the 'Twilight' fantasy franchise, which ultimately went to Kristen Stewart.
"She spent much of her childhood appearing in Australian TV movies, soaps and kids' programmes, and with her innocent doe eyes and rosebud mouth, she could quietly charm the world for years yet. But a tattoo under her arm reading "a blessed unrest that keeps us marching", a quote from choreographer Martha Graham's manifesto for alternative artists, indicates where her heart lies: in "fearless work that challenges me"."
- Maddy Costa, The Guardian
"Sucker Punch, as the studios like to call it, is a grotesque, puerile fantasy only the slimeballs running Hollyweird could make. To award it the title of worst film of the year is to bestow upon it an honor it doesn't deserve. Trash this heap of dung and move right along."
- Jamie Taylor, 'The Worst Films Of 2011'
'A Down And Dusky Blonde'
Emily Browning was a recipient of the Australian Film Institute’s Young Actors Award
"Since Emily Browning isn't remotely interested in Hollywood stardom at all costs, she has no problem pressing the pause button and waiting for the right script to come along. She told The Irish Times she read 150 scripts after she starred in Legend (2015) alongside Tom Hardy, only to find that "Often the film is good, but you're playing the girlfriend role." Not surprisingly, she chose Shangri-La Suite (2016), an off-beat indie film about a Bonnie and Clyde-type couple who go on a road trip with the end goal of assassinating Elvis Presley, followed by another super small film, Golden Exits (2017), which made a blip at The Sundance Film Festival, but hasn't done much since.
For Browning, being an actor is less about fame than it is about breaking out of one's comfort zone. Speaking with IndieWire, she said that if her work wasn't challenging, it would be "soul-destroying." She also told indieLondon about what she thinks is an important distinction between movie stars and actors. "I want to be an actor – that's what I want to do and I know that the movie star element has to be there to some degree, so that you have the freedom of choice to make films that you want to make. But that idea of movie star still freaks me out."

Juno Temple
Interview
Juno Violet Temple was born in Hammersmith, London, England on July 21, 1989. She is a Cancer. Her father is film director and documentarian Julien Temple, her mother is music video producer Amanda Pirie and her aunt is communist politician Nina Temple. She spent part of her childhood in Taunton, Somerset and attended King's College in Taunton. Temple has two brothers.
Fun Fact : Juno Temple auditioned to play Luna Lovegood in the 'Harry Potter' fantasy franchise but the role went to Evanna Lynch.
"Juno Temple is willing to go, emotionally, where other actresses fear to tread to confront the unpalatable head on. But then, rebel spirit is in her DNA. Her father is Julien Temple, punk aficionado and director of the 1979 Sex Pistols documentary The Great Rock and Roll Swindle as well as videos for The Rolling Stones and The Kinks. His sister and Juno’s aunt is Nina Temple, the last secretary of the British Communist Party; while their father, Langdon, ran Progressive tours, a travel agency specialising in Communist countries. Temple and his wife, producer Amanda Pirie, instilled their daughter and her two younger brothers Leo, and Felix, with a healthy disregard for convention; they hung out with The Clash’s Joe Strummer and family, and attended to Glastonbury festival regularly from an early age.
The children were encouraged to follow their own creative spirits. Their home, a 14th century house in Taunton, Somerset, was a playground for their imaginations. “As kids, we lived in this magical world and roamed free in the gardens. I was obsessed with Alice in Wonderland. My dad cut the hedges so that they started shorter and grew taller, so I could run up and down and feel like I was shrinking.” She still looks enthralled. “I was the kind of girl who’d peep through her bedroom keyhole to check if her dolls were moving.”
Her fascination with fairy tales was ignited when her father screened Jean Cocteau’s La belle et la bete and The Red Shoes for her as a little girl. She says she was always drawn to the tales’ darker characters.
“I was constantly in fancy dress and in character as a kid.” She cringes. “I would sometimes be a Russian refugee with a little doll begging for food. If my mother ruptured the fantasy and called me by my real name, I’d say. ‘But who is this Juno?’”
Her parents weren’t surprised when she said she wanted to become an actress. So her father cast her, at eight, in his film about French anarchist Jean Vigo (although he cut the scene) and Pandaemonium, two years later, about Wordsworth and Coleridge. It was enough to give Temple the pluck, at 12 years old, to attend the Notes on a Scandal audition and nail the role of Blanchett’s sulky teenage daughter.
By the time she left Bedales, the liberal arts boarding school she attended in Hampshire, Temple had worked on eleven films culminating in St Trinian’s 2: The Legend of Fratton’s Gold which she filmed during her A-levels. (She says that the film’s star Rupert Everett co-wrote the essay she did for her A Level drama coursework, for which she got a C+).
With a steady flow of parts since then, she never had time to go to drama school and moved to LA after school. This time has left its mark, on more than just her accent. She has learned to cope with the inevitable blows of rejection - “I still weep like child, when I don’t get a part I wanted. But it no longer feels like a teenage break-up” - and has recently conceded “the importance of downtime” to decompress from her roles. “If I’m having a bad day, I put on lingerie, a silk robe and fluffy pumps and walk around the house or bake something,” she giggles. “I’m just crazy about nice knickers.”
- Stephanie Rafanelli, The Telegraph
"Juno Temple is a dangerous actress in Hollywood, unwilling to accept the strict moral codes imposed by virtue in America, the greatest nation on this here, God's green Earth."
- Mitchell Tears, 'The Moral Majority Has Spoken'
'Sleep The Clock Around' - Belle & Sebastian
Juno Temple was a recipient of the EE Rising Star Award from the British Academy of Film and Television Arts
"Juno Temple might look like a pixie version of Tom Thumb, but she is brave enough to voice her views on some of the less junket-friendly subjects – namely violence towards women. Her latest film - Horns, in which she stars alongside Daniel Radcliffe - sees her play a woman who is violently murdered, with her assailant using a rock as the primary weapon. It’s a chilling watch, but violence towards women, whether sexual or purely physical, isn’t an issue Temple thinks we should shy away from.
“The thing that’s important to understand with violence towards women and rape is how many women it’s happened to and how many women haven’t spoken out about it because of many different reasons,” she says. “As a country, as a world, as a universe, we need to encourage women to talk about that because women feel guilty and all these other different emotions about it. And that’s just horrible because the only way you can start healing something like that is if you get to talk about it.”
Temple is known for choosing roles that explore the complexities of being a woman – a traditional romantic lead doesn’t seem likely to be on her agenda. In Atonement, she plays a sexually abused teenager, who goes onto marry her perpetrator; in Killer Joe, her 12-year-old character has her virginity offered up as collateral and in Afternoon Delight she plays a lost stripper.
She describes Horns - which is released in UK cinemas tomorrow - as “falling down a rabbit hole in a really dark way”.
“I’d be lying if I said that there wasn’t a darkness to me,” she said, “There’s something in me that’s always been attracted to those roles, although I don’t seek them out on purpose. It’s more that you read a character on a page and you just want to play her.”

Thanks so much for starting this thread, petrolino.  I'm a fan of Emily Browning's and have seen those^ films of hers that you included (plus a few others). Ever since first seeing her in Ghost Ship, I thought she was one of the 'better' child actresses of her time. She's constantly chosen interesting projects, tackling ones I'm sure not many would be up for (like that Sleeping Beauty film - most definitely *not* a fairly tale film for kids). I feel she's one of Australia's most underrated actress (and just an underrated actress in general, really). It's a shame her name hasn't become more widely known as yet, but hopefully she continues choosing interesting projects to star in and gets more recognition as a result, as I feel she most definitely deserves it.

Hi chalice. Looks like Emily Browning's back in the news with a new tv show she's been appearing in these last couple of years. It's called 'American Gods'. No idea what it's like though.
If you've seen any of them, would you recommend any of these 4 movies listed below?
2013 Plush
2014 Pompeii
2015 Shangri-La Suite
2017 Golden Exits
I think Emily Browning's had some genuine emotional problems dealing with the limelight, as she discusses in the new interview I posted, 'From Melbourne To Hollywood'. I think Juno Temple tried to look out for Browning when the paparazzi was overstepping the mark, and vice versa.

both seem like actresses who should've broken out more by now.
Directors should watch Emily Browning in Belle & Sebastian's musical project 'God Help The Girl' as it shows her range. She's a strong physical performer as 'Sucker Punch' proved, a good singer, somebody who's led an interesting life and has a lot to offer.
I can see Juno Temple's becoming a character actress who's hard to pigeon-hole. Again, her talent is there for all to see and directors should jump on it. She was also in 'The Dark Knight Rises' but Im guessing it was a small role as I can't remember who she played.
I think it's genuinely hard to break out in cinema at the moment, unless you become tied to a comic book franchise. It's remarkable what a young actress like Saoirse Ronan has been able to achieve in her movie career so far.
Juno Temple auditoned for Martin Scorsese & company and got a part in the television show 'Vinyl', but it didn't catch on as other shows have done. Now Emily Browning's being talked about again due to a show she's in called 'American Gods'.

Mia Wasikowska's from Canberra, Australia, born in 1989, a favourie of the Australian branch of 'Vogue' who exudes confidence on and off screen. She's also proven to be extremely handy at handling dangerman Robert Pattinson.
Teresa Palmer was born in Adelaide, 1986, arguably has all the tools, yet she hasn't found that breakout role to propel her to the next level either.

Hi chalice. Looks like Emily Browning's back in the news with a new tv show she's been appearing in these last couple of years. It's called 'American Gods'. No idea what it's like though. If you've seen any of them, would you recommend any of these 4 movies listed below?
2013 Plush
2014 Pompeii
2015 Shangri-La Suite
2017 Golden Exits
I think Emily Browning's had some genuine emotional problems dealing with the limelight, as she discusses in the new interview I posted, 'From Melbourne To Hollywood'. I think Juno Temple tried to look out for Browning when the paparazzi was overstepping the mark, and vice versa. Yeah, she’s starring in American Gods (I tried reading the novel in preparation for the show, but only made it partway through). I have the first two seasons on Blu-ray, but just haven’t gotten around to watching them yet because I have SO MANY unwatched shows on DVD/Blu-ray that I’m slowly working my way through (combine that with all the things on TV that I watch/record and it ends up being quite the task). Of the four movies you asked about, I think the only one I’ve seen is Pompeii and...it’s not very good, in my opinion. I watched it once and that was enough for me. I think one of the last movies I saw her in was Legend with Tom Hardy. Mia Wasikowska's from Canberra, Australia, born in 1989, a favourie of the Australian branch of 'Vogue' who exudes confidence on and off screen. She's also proven to be extremely handy at handling dangerman Robert Pattinson.
Teresa Palmer was born in Adelaide, 1986, arguably has all the tools, yet she hasn't found that breakout role to propel her to the next level either. Mia Wasikowska and Teresa Palmer are another two favourite (Australian) actresses of mine, though they’re quite different. I feel Mia Wasikowska is quite underrated because on the surface she might appear rather ‘subdued’, but I think she gives very fine understated performances in the things I’ve seen her in. Like Emily Browning, she seems to me like someone who is willing to tackle films that are a bit ‘different’ that other actresses might not be up to the task of. As for Teresa Palmer, it’s mind-boggling how she hasn’t become a bigger star already. She’s got the ‘looks’, she’s got the talent, and she’s got a very likeable personality in all the interviews I’ve seen with her. @deblovesbeccy could tell you about her last movie I know she was in called Ride Like A Girl, as she highly recommended I check it out.

Of the four movies you asked about, I think the only one I’ve seen is Pompeii and...it’s not very good, in my opinion. I watched it once and that was enough for me. I think one of the last movies I saw her in was Legend with Tom Hardy.
Sounds a little like me and 'Orphan Black' lol! (Of course, I will watch it and I desperately want to watch 'Orphan Black', I've bought it now - just need to stop messing around and actually do it! (new year's resolution()
(I'll watch 'Pompeii' for free on tv but no money spent - thanks)

Thanks so much for starting this thread, petrolino. I'm a fan of Emily Browning's and have seen those^ films of hers that you included (plus a few others). Ever since first seeing her in Ghost Ship, I thought she was one of the 'better' child actresses of her time. She's constantly chosen interesting projects, tackling ones I'm sure not many would be up for (like that Sleeping Beauty film - most definitely *not* a fairly tale film for kids). I feel she's one of Australia's most underrated actress (and just an underrated actress in general, really). It's a shame her name hasn't become more widely known as yet, but hopefully she continues choosing interesting projects to star in and gets more recognition as a result, as I feel she most definitely deserves it.
Hi chalice. Looks like Emily Browning's back in the news with a new tv show she's been appearing in these last couple of years. It's called 'American Gods'. No idea what it's like though.
If you've seen any of them, would you recommend any of these 4 movies listed below?
2013 Plush
2014 Pompeii
2015 Shangri-La Suite
2017 Golden Exits
I think Emily Browning's had some genuine emotional problems dealing with the limelight, as she discusses in the new interview I posted, 'From Melbourne To Hollywood'. I think Juno Temple tried to look out for Browning when the paparazzi was overstepping the mark, and vice versa. Didn’t know about their friendship. That’s kind of her. |

I actually haven't seen that many of Emily Browning's Movies but when it comes to Juno Temple, I think that my own Top 2 Favorite Movies that she was in are "CRACKS" and "THE DARK KNIGHT RISES".

seems like Mia Wasikowska stole Brownings thunder a little.
Mia Wasikowska's from Canberra, Australia, born in 1989, a favourie of the Australian branch of 'Vogue' who exudes confidence on and off screen. She's also proven to be extremely handy at handling dangerman Robert Pattinson.
Teresa Palmer was born in Adelaide, 1986, arguably has all the tools, yet she hasn't found that breakout role to propel her to the next level either. Wasikowska seems on the cusp of stardom right now.

She played Catwoman's (Anne Hathaway) friend 'Holly' and No it wasn't a BIG role. She has like 2 or 3 scenes and that is it.

I have not yet seen Juno Temple enough to immediately identify her.
Emily Browning - It was like falling in love again. I had previously seen her in other movies and didn't realize who she was. At first I was sort of indifferent to her. Yeah, she was pretty, but it didn't really sink in until Pompeii. It's a predictable story, but I welcome period pieces about historical events. And I love the hairstyles depicted in ancient Greek and Roman stories. They may not be historically accurate, but I'm very forgiving on that subject. In Pompeii, Browning looks very much like a college girlfriend I had. I found myself repeatedly watching the film whenever it aired on tv. She was growing on me.
I think she has a quirky type of beauty. The eyes, the high cheekbones and the shape of her mouth. I know some might not find her very attractive, but I am completely under her spell. I've been so mesmerized that I haven't even thought much about her acting skills. I do remember her being pretty good in Legend. I look forward to seeing other works which feature her.

That's so cool. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on Emily Browning. I've seen people saying online that Juno Temple and Britt Robertson could play sisters. I think maybe Rachel Weisz could play Emily Browning's older sister in a movie, if such roles were required by casting.

I highly recommend Alejandro Amenabar's historical drama 'Agora' (2009) if you've not seen it; I enjoyed it so much, I bought the dvd. It's a story of knowledge, experimentation and intellect set during turbulent times in the Roman Province of Egypt. If you avoid any "spoiler" reviews, I think the story may offer a few surprises.
"I went to see "Agora" expecting an epic with swords, sandals and sex. I found swords and sandals, some unexpected opinions about sex, and a great deal more. This is a movie about ideas, a drama based on the ancient war between science and superstition. At its center is a woman who in the fourth century A.D. was a scientist, mathematician, philosopher, astronomer and teacher, respected in Egypt, although women were not expected to be any of those things."
- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
"If sword'n'sandal movies from the toga-wearing classical world generally make you giggle or groan – or even if they don't – then this could be the film for you. Alejandro Amenábar has made an ambitious, cerebral and complex movie set in fourth-century Alexandria, the era in which the famous library was destroyed. Rachel Weisz gives an outstanding performance as the mathematician and philosopher Hypatia."
- Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
'Agora'
