Diane Kruger has revealed how research for her role as a kidnapped journalist forced her to take a fresh look at her life.

The actress admitted that she considered herself to have lived a ‘pretty accomplished’ life until she began filming Special Forces in which she plays a French journalist who is kidnapped by the Taliban.

In preparation for the film, she interviewed several female journalists who had fallen victim to the same fate.

‘I researched the role for four months, interviewing journalists who were kidnap victims, and I think it’s changed me as a person,’ she told Gotham magazine.

‘It’s as though I felt quite ignorant before this, or maybe it’s just part of growing up. I always thought I had a pretty accomplished life: a famous model who speaks three languages and keeps a place in Paris. This role has certainly put me in my place a little bit.’

The 34-year-old, who is dating actor Joshua Jackson, said that she found living in on location the Himalayas difficult to adapt to.

‘It was a lot harder than I anticipated,’ she said. ‘Eighteen-hour car rides, dirt roads that are not really roads, freezing cold at night, everyone is sleep deprived, and everything is incredibly difficult and hard. I’ve broken down crying sometimes, but so have many of the boys.

‘It was also truly breathtaking – a once-in-a-lifetime experience.’

Diane Kruger has connected the role of forthcoming drama Farewell, My Queen. The shameful Basterds star has apparently substituted artist Eva Green in the project, an altered copy of Chantal Thomas’s book of the identical name.
Kruger will act as Marie Antoinette in the movie, which takes place in the 1789 French revolt. The film is directed by French filmmaker Benoit Jacquot.
Actors Gerard Depardieu and Lea Seydoux were formerly signed to act in the film. However it is just heard that Gemma Arterton was captivating the female pilot in Michael Mann’s period romance Capa, what they didn’t state is that she was grabbing the role that once belonged to Eva Green. Now it echoes like the Casino Royale female star has been substituted on other venture.
Lea Seydoux (Robin Hood) plays the person who reads in query who remembers the past actions 30 years later on.
At the same time an insider and a spectator of royal history, she portrays the final days prior to revolution overwhelm the palace with imminent and amazing portions of comedy. Gerard Depardieu also has a part in the motion picture.
