Holly joins Showtime's Borgias' mini-series.....

Fresh from her recent roles - Suzanne Rousset, Dirty Debbie and Diana Rivers - Holliday Grainger is set to join Jeremy Irons in the new Showtime mini-series which chronicles the infamous Borgia family. Production is set to begin soon. I will give you more details when I have them.

It's now official - she is playing Suzanne in 'Bel Ami'...

Although this news is now over a month old, up until now there has not been any images of Holliday actually on the set of 'Bel Ami'. That, as you can see above, has changed and it now makes Miss Grainger being one of the main cast members official. Hopefully, in the next couple of weeks, we may see more photos of her and possibly even an interview with her. I'll keep you posted....

Here is where Holly Grainger's movie career takes off....

Although "The Scouting Book For Boys" isn't likely to attract massive attention from UK cinema audiences, at least Holliday Grainger has made the kind of appearance on BBC Breakfast that generates the hope that more people will start to take notice of her. The part of Emily is her first leading lady role in a movie, and one that easily has the potential to bring her into contact with those who can launch her as a household name. 'Bel Ami', in which she plays Suzanne, and 'Jane Eyre' are the kind of projects she needs to propel onto the global movie scene. Whilst Hollywood might seem a long way off for someone who is just finding their feet in the movie industry, she is certain to find something that will lead her in that direction. If it can happen for Carey Mulligan, it can happen for her!

On-screen reunion for Holly Grainger and Robert Pattinson....

Back in 2007, Holliday Grainger's career profile was raised when she was cast as one of the stars of the TV adaptation of Kate Long's bestselling novel "The Bad Mother's Handbook". This one-off ITV drama also raised the profile of up-and-coming actor Robert Pattinson, who played Daniel Gale, the nerdy love interest of Charlotte - so much so that he was cast as the lead in the Hollywoodification of Stephanie Meyer's vampire book series, "Twilight", a year later. It was around that time that Holly entered cinema acting for the first time with the big screen version of Kevin Sampson's controversial novel "Awaydays". Well, if like me you enjoyed the televisual chemistry between Grainger and Pattinson, we may yet get to see them togther again, but this time on the big screen, because rumour has it that she is in the running for the part of Suzanne in the movie adaptation of the novel "Bel Ami". If it turns out to be true, it could well open doors for Holliday in Hollywood. So, let's keep our fingers crossed that it turns out that she has actually been cast.
