Gattaca screencaps, Jude Law, Uma Thurman, Ethan Hawke — Part III + Orlando Bloom’s Cross connection
It must’ve been karma that I’ve been doing these Gattaca posts, as it turns out that Gattaca writer and director Andrew Niccol is the man responsible for Orlando Bloom’s newest project, The Cross, that I recently blogged about. This makes me even more excited about The Cross, as Niccol (who also wrote The Truman Show) has a wonderful imagination and can create coldly beautiful sci-fi that is, at the same time, full of feeling and meaning. That’s an admirable talent. Like Gattaca, The Cross will also have two beautiful men and an exotically beautiful woman (Bloom, Vincent Cassel, and Olga Kurylenko), and I hope it ends us as visually stunning as this film.
*SPOILER ALERT* Minor spoilers, just to warn you if you haven’t yet seen the film.
Vincent (Ethan Hawke) and Irene (Uma Thurman) go out for the evening.

Irene finally lets her hair down, and gets vixen-y.
Vincent likes.
Dancing…
A Gattaca perspective: the upside-down love scene, with the ocean just outside the windows…
The morning after…
Uma Thurman is a woman romantic painters dream of. Her features are exquisite. She created an intriguing character with Irene, so coldly beautiful and seemingly uptight corporate drone perfection–yet there are subtle flashes of anger, frustration, and pain that show through and make her so much more complex than she first appears.
An investigator’s sudden appearance allows Jerome (Jude Law) to take advantage of the improptu subterfuge and kiss Irene.
Irene plays along.
Irene learns the truth about who Vincent really is, and the “flaws” they have in common.
Tomorrow will be the fourth and final installment of Gattaca pics, a last lavish look at pretty boys Jude Law and Ethan Hawke.
