Evanna Lynch, best known for portraying Luna Lovegood in the Harry Potter films, has joined the cast of Monster Butler, the indie crime thriller starring Malcolm McDowell.

Gary Oldman, Dominic Monaghan, and Joanne Whalley are also in the movie, which tells the true story of Roy Fontaine, aka Archibald Hall (McDowell). Fontaine was a bisexual jewel thief/con man/serial killer, and the movie -- which begins shooting this week in Scotland -- will tell of his personal descent into darkness and his eventual capture.

Lynch will play Fiona Carrick-Smith, who is intrigued by her upper-class family’s new and seemingly all-knowing butler. Seeing him as an older, wiser confidant, she confesses her misgivings for her upcoming marriage and her longing for dangerous excitement. She soon acts on her desires with the butler -- acts of reckless behavior that lead to betrayal and tragedy.

McDowell, Diane Da Silva and Chris Roe producing. Wilson de Silva is exec producing. Dark House Films is behind the production, which will be distributed by Warner Bros.

Lynch had a unique entry into the acting world. A fan of the Harry Potter books, she began a pen-pal correspondence with author J.K. Rowling at age 11. That led her to audition for the role of Lovegood at age 14, beating out thousands of other hopefuls, according to reports. Her work garnered her a Young Artist Awards nomination for best performance in a feature film.Lynch is repped by APA and Schumacher Management.

沪江娱乐快讯:凭借在《哈利波特》系列电影中扮演卢娜•洛夫古德(Luna Lovegood)而为人熟知的伊文娜•林奇(Evanna Lynch),已经加入了《怪物管家》的演员阵容。《怪物管家》是一部独立犯罪惊悚片,由马尔科姆•麦克道威尔(Malcolm McDowell)领衔主演。

加里•奥德曼(Gary Oldman)、多米尼克•莫纳汉(Dominic Monaghan),以及琼妮•威利(Joanne Whalley)三人也参演了本片。这部电影讲述了麦克道威尔扮演的罗伊•方丹(Roy Fontaine),也就是阿奇博尔德•霍尔(Archibald Hall)的真实故事。方丹男女通吃,既是珠宝大盗、又是个骗子,还是个连环杀手。本片本周在苏格兰开拍,从他怎样一步步坠入罪恶深渊到最后锒铛入狱,都会在影片中一一呈现。

林奇扮演了费欧娜•卡里克-史密斯(Fiona Carrick-Smith)一角。她生长在一个上流社会家庭里,家里那个新来的看起来什么都懂的管家深深地吸引了她。她把他当做自己的年长而睿智的知己,向他袒露了自己的心声——一面是不久就要跨入婚姻殿堂的恐惧,一面是对那些危险而刺激的体验的渴望。不久,在这位管家的陪伴下,她把自己的渴望付诸实践,做出了不计后果的事情,导致了背叛与悲剧的上演。

本片的监制有麦克道威尔、戴安•达•席尔瓦(Diane Da Silva),以及克里斯•罗伊(Chris Roe),总监是威尔逊•德•席尔瓦(Wilson de Silva)。黑屋影业公司负责影片的制作,华纳兄弟影业则负责影片的发行。

林奇有一段与众不同的“触影”经历。据报,作为《哈利波特》系列小说的粉丝,林奇11岁的时候开始与小说作者J•K•罗琳(J.K. Rowling)进行书信往来,这使她14岁的时候有幸参加洛夫古德一角的试镜。这次试镜中,她击败了成百上千个竞争者。她在影片中的表演使她在“青年艺术家奖”中获得了“故事片最佳表演”的提名。
