41 | ---- |
42 | !!Tropes in her works: |
43 | |
44 | * AltoVillainess: Despite playing mostly heroines, she is very capable of adjusting her cadence to a menacing lower register. |
45 | * FakeAmerican: ''{{Film/Doom}}'', ''Film/GoneGirl'', ''Film/JackReacher'' and a few others. |
46 | * MagnumOpusDissonance: Her favourite role is actually playing Jane Bennet in ''Film/PrideAndPrejudice2005''. |
47 | %%* MsFanservice: Some of her roles qualify. |
48 | * TheOtherDarrin: She replaces Creator/AlexaDavalos as Andromeda for ''Film/WrathOfTheTitans''. |
49 | * PlayingAgainstType: As a ditzy slacker in ''Film/AnEducation''. |
50 | * PlayingWithCharacterType: Rosamund often plays capable or sensible women - and is almost always heroic. In ''Film/GoneGirl'' and Return to Sender this makes the twist that the capable and sensible woman she’s playing is also [[spoiler: a manipulative psychopath]] all the more shocking. |
51 | * PromotedFanboy: She's a fan of Creator/JohnnyDepp and got to work with him on ''Film/{{The Libertine|2004}}''. |
52 | * RealitySubtext: She and Simon Woods had dated (before Simon came out as gay), lending a lot of realism to Jane and Bingley's relationship in ''Film/PrideAndPrejudice2005''. |
53 | * RomanceOnTheSet: With Joe Wright, who directed her in ''Film/PrideAndPrejudice2005''. They were engaged for a while, and the wedding was called off at the last minute. |
54 | * SoMyKidsCanWatch: She took roles in ''WesternAnimation/ThunderbirdsAreGo'' (as Lady Penelope Creighton-Ward), ''[[Literature/TheMoomins Moominvalley]]'' (as Moominmamma) and ''WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends'' (as Duchess in the episode "Thomas and The Royal Engine") for her two sons. |
55 | * StatuesqueStunner: Qualifies at 5'9". |
56 | * ThoseTwoActors: She appears alongside Creator/CareyMulligan in ''Film/PrideAndPrejudice2005'', ''Film/AnEducation'', and ''Film/{{Saltburn}}''. |
57 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: |
58 | ** She was one of the top contenders to play Lois Lane in ''Film/ManOfSteel''. But she chose to do ''Wrath of the Titans'', which meant that she wouldn't be available. Creator/AmyAdams ended up cast instead. |
59 | ** She was offered the part of Rita Skeeter in ''Film/HarryPotterAndTheGobletOfFire''. She didn’t want the trouble of a multi-film contract with the offered paycheck (ironically, Rita would only appear in ''Goblet'' aside from a quick image cameo in ''Deathly Hallows Part 1'') so she turned it down. It went to Creator/MirandaRichardson. |
