About the film

The film "Inkheart", whose actors - entirely stars of foreign cinema, came out in late 2008. Russian-speaking viewers could see this movie in high-quality voice acting only in 2009.

The protagonist has a very unusual profession forour days: he is the book physician Mortimer. His talent is aimed at qualitatively gluing wounded books. Mortimer has a small daughter, Maggie, she is 12 years old, but she has loved books since birth as much as her father. They have one feature when they read aloud - the characters from the pages go out into the real world, that is, come to life. And like nothing terrible there is that heroes of fairy tales and epic can travel in the real world. But there is one "but" - in place of this hero must get a real man. Here is such an exchange.

One day, Mortimer enlivens a group of robbers from the book The Ink of the Heart, and their wife Reza gets in their place. And disappears in the book without a trace.

After that, he was invited to the role of Richard in the movie "The Mummy". Then he proved that he can play dramatic roles, playing in the movie "Gods and Monsters." In all in his career there are 52 films.

Eliza Hope Bennett

In this masterpiece she played Princess Arabella. After it you can see in the TV series "Supernova". And in 2005 she became famous for her role in the film "My awful nanny".

Helen was recognized as a "sex symbol forintellectual ", because her first film roles were in classic films, where she appeared nude. Mir became acquainted with Mirren by roles in the films "Caligula", "Cook, Thief, His Wife and Her Lover", "Space Odyssey 2010" and others. Helen played the role of Queen Elizabeth I, and soon Queen Elizabeth II. For the last received "Oscar" and the prize of the Venetian Film Festival.
