Helen Mirren to Play Evel Knievel in New Movie Biopic

Posted by in Showbiz on Jun 10th, 2016 | Comments Off on Helen Mirren to Play Evel Knievel in New Movie Biopic

Better-known for her costume dramas and tough police procedurals, veteran actress Helen Mirren will be tackling a very different role this year.

There will not only be one Evel for much longer...

There will not only be one Evel for much longer…

'It's vital to keep growing as an artist'.

‘It’s vital to keep growing as an artist’.

‘Playing a motorcycle stuntman is certainly a new departure for me’ commented Mirren, ‘but I’m sure audiences won’t be put off by a 70 year old woman portraying a 35 year old man.  This is the age of gender neutrality, after all..’

To add further authenticity, Mirren insisted on performing all her own stunts.  ‘The studio was very nervous – especially about the Snake River Canyon jet cycle – but for me it was a potential deal-breaker’.

Fans of Mirren will hope that nothing else was broken in the process.

The film opens on Labor Day weekend.
