If the world associates Lily James to the sweet and ethereal girl who could never, ever get her hands a little dirty is the fault of Rose Aldridge, the Lady all roses and flowers of Downton Abbey that made audiences and producers all over the world fall in love with it to the point of paving the way for her to be the Disney princess tout court, a role from which James has tried several times to break away thanks to darker roles like Elizabeth Bennett PPZ – Pride+ Prejudice + Zombies without ever too much conviction. Now, after the wave of hatred that overwhelmed her last summer for being paparazzi with her colleague (married and with four children) Dominic West – why the haters focus on the “family wrecker” and not on the cheating husband remains a mystery – it’s time to get the nails and the life jacket out.
Lily James will play Pamela Anderson in the new Hulu miniseries Pam & Tommy, which will retrace the love story of the star of Baywatch with Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee. A very turbulent relationship that began in 1995 that made the front pages of the tabloids especially after a intimate film of the two shot during their honeymoon: the first viral video in history. The series decides to start from here: from the sex tape and, in particular, from the role played by Rand Gauthier, played by Seth Rogen, in distributing the video. At the news that James would be playing Anderson someone, however, wrinkled his nose: but how, the princess who plays the bombastic? To make everyone think again were the first images posted on Rogen’s profile who see Lily so similar to the sex symbol that they are confused. Together with her in the role of Lee there is Sebastian Stan, namely the Winter Soldier of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier: an unprecedented couple that, from the very first shots, promises sparks.
The images stolen from the set, which see James and Stan reproduce real stock photos from the 90s – including that of Pamela Anderson biting into her husband’s nipple piercing – quickly go viral and draw attention to a project that could ( finally) demonstrate the all-round talent of Lily James who, due to the “scandal” with Dominic West – which, incidentally, we will see soon in the fifth season of The Crown in the role of Prince Charles and in the second film by Downton Abbey, the very series that James launched – was forced to forgo the promotion of Rebecca, the remake of Alfred Hitchcock’s Netflix masterpiece starring Armie Hammer (an actor we will most likely see returning to acting when Meryl Streep retires). Pam & Tommy is written by Robert Siegel together with DV DeVincentis, will be directed by Craig Gillespie (Tonya), and will also star Nick Hofferman (Parks and Recreation), Taylor Schilling (Orange is the New Black), Andrew Dice Clay, Pepi Sonuga, Spencer Granese and Mozhan Marnò.
