The UK production arm of the French distributor has announced its 3rd in-house UK production after Brighton Rock and Attack the Block. it’s The Awakening starring Rebecca Hall, Dominic West and Imelda Staunton and set to shoot in the UK in late June. Hall plays a paranormal investigator in England after the First World War, whose job is debunk spiritualism. Then she comes across a haunting in a boarding school. Nick Murphy is the director and David Thompson, whose Origin Pictures developed the project with BBC Films, is producing. StudioCanal is handling worldwide sales, while StudioCanal Features will be the lead financier alongside BBC Films and Scottish Screen. “This is a highly original and compelling story, an unusual combination of fright and emotion,” Thompson tells me. “Nick is one of the most talented new directors around . Much of the best work I have been involved with has been from new directors and I think he will bring a really exceptional vision to this.” Murphy directed the BBC TV’s Surviving Disaster and Occupation, which was nominated for a TV BAFTA for Best Serial.

With her patrician looks and celebrated pedigree—she is the daughter of American operatic soprano Maria Ewing and legendary British theater director Sir Peter Hall—one might assume that Cambridge-educated Rebecca Hall, 27, waltzed into an acting career on her name alone. Well, O.K., it didn’t hurt in the beginning, when she starred, at the age of 10, in her father’s television adaptation of the British novel The Camomile Lawn, or 10 years later in his production of George Bernard Shaw’s Mrs. Warren’s Profession. But her pitch-perfect realization of an indignant, tightly wound American in Woody Allen’s Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008) proved she had the chops and the charm, and her sophisticated wit landed her the role of David Frost’s delightfully fabulous girlfriend in Ron Howard’s Frost/Nixon. Next up is Nicole Holofcener’s Please Give, and Ben Affleck’s Boston crime drama The Town.

Huge thanks to Jack for the following news:

• The trailer for Dorian Grey has been released. You can watch it at ShockTillYouDrop.com and she’s in it towards the end.

• Rebecca has been cast alongside Ben Affleck and Jon Hamm in the romantic crime drama Town. Rebecca was cast as the bank manager, who is the reason the criminal wants to clean up his act but also the agent’s golden ticket to catching the man. You can read it here.

Thank you to Lorna for the Observer scans and a heads up on Rebecca performing from May 23 – August 15 at The Old Vic Theater in London. You can read about it here.

Also another thank you to Jack for the other scans and for this piece of news:

Rebecca is in a new show called the “Red Riding Trilogy” and it’s on Channel 4 on Thursday 5 March at 9pm. The first episode is “1974″ and I believe features Rebecca quite a bit as the mother of a missing child. The following episodes are “1980″ and “1983″.

Hall of Fame: Telegraph Article
- You wait ages for a leading role in a film, and then a handful come along all at once. Now, after years on the up-and-coming lists, Rebecca Hall can safely say she has arrived. The actress tells Helena de Bertodano what it’s like to be Sir Peter Hall’s daughter and Woody Allen’s romantic heroine.

Also, more exciting – Rebecca is on the cover of Tatler magazine! I live in the US so this magazine isn’t out here yet. If you can contribute scans, email me!

The Orange British Academy Film Awards sponsored award recognises five actors and actresses who have captured the imagination of the public with breakthrough performances in 2008. This year’s nominations were Michael Cera, Noel Clarke, Michael Fassbender, Rebecca Hall and Tony Kebbell.

Good luck to Rebecca! It’s amazing she’s getting so much recognition!

I’ll have the scan up sometime this week, but Rebecca is in the latest issue of Vanity Fair!

Age: 26. Provenance: London. Yes, she was the “Vicky” in … Vicky Cristina Barcelona, Woody Allen’s sensual tale of l’amour fou. “To use a horrible, trite phrase, it was a dream come true,” says Hall of working with Allen. Sensibly addressed the nepotism issue head-on by … making a triumphant professional debut in a West End production of Mrs. Warren’s Profession directed by her father, the great Sir Peter Hall, in 2002. On the cusp of ubiquity thanks to … the imminent release of Ron Howard’s Frost/Nixon, in which, “for once, I get to be the pretty girl in the room, not some terribly conflicted character,” and her roles as Varya and Hermione in, respectively, Sam Mendes’s productions of Chekhov’s The Cherry Orchard and Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, which open this month and next.
