Alicia Vikander, Soon to Be Seen in ‘The Last Day’ and ‘Hope,’ Talks Motherhood and Work: ‘I Need to Do Both’


Alicia Vikander talks future projects ‘The Last Day’ and ‘Hope,’ and motherhood at Zurich Film Festival.

I have two young children now, I was pregnant when making that film and that’s where most of my time goes when I am not working,” said the Swedish actor, fresh off dystopian sci-fi “The Assessment.” She will keep things international also in her next projects, Rachel Rose’s “The Last Day,” set in New York – “It’s the modern take on ‘Mrs Dalloway,’” she said – and “Hope,” directed by South Korean director Na Hong-jin, known for “the Chaser” and “The Wailing.” From feature debut “Pure” – “Joe Wright saw it and that’s how I had my first meeting with him for ‘Anna Karenina,’” she recalled – to “A Royal Affair,” “Tomb Rider” – “I grew up dreaming of being in films like that” – and “The Danish Girl,” which earned her an Academy Award.
