· Then, in 2011, she got cast as a lead in Like Crazy, playing an English girl in Los Angeles who falls in love with an American boy — played by the late.

Felicity Jones on 'Rogue One' Reshoots, 'Inferno' Reluctance and Anton Yelchin's "Devastating" Death. Felicity Jones is no art critic, but she knows what she likes when she sees it. During a stroll through the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto on a September afternoon, she pauses for a moment, hand on hip, to admire a modernist painting by Canadian artist Claude Tousignant called Violence lucide. There's something very clear and honest about it," she says. I like how unfussy it is. I am drawn to its simplicity."It's simple, all right — a big black dot inside an empty white square — but then it's easy to imagine why Jones would be drawn to unfussy these days. Her life is about to get a lot more complicated, but in a good way, the way that only happens to a lucky few.

Tom Hanks reteams with his 'Da Vinci Code' director Ron Howard for another round of European adventures in 'Inferno,' an action thriller based on the novel by Dan Brown. Directed by John Guillermin.

For starters, the 3. British actress soon will be starring opposite Tom Hanks in Ron Howard's Inferno, opening Oct. Watch The Monster Online Free HD here.

Da Vinci Code franchise ($1. She'll follow that up over the next two months with two more highly- anticipated roles: playing a single mom with cancer in A Monster Calls, a turn that already is generating Oscar buzz for a second nomination (she got her first in 2. Stephen Hawking's wife in The Theory of Everything), and a scrappy Rebel Alliance fighter named Jyn Erso at the center of the Star Wars spinoff Rogue One, a part that overnight will make her an internationally recognizable face (even if it did require reshoots — more about that later). All of which places Jones at a difficult — if enviable — crossroads: She must decide what sort of actress she intends to be. Door No. 1 is a career as a serious, respected thespian — think Rooney Mara, Michelle Williams or Carey Mulligan — working mainly in the type of prestige pictures that are great for decorating fireplace mantels, only occasionally dabbling in commercial films (like Amy Adams in Man of Steel).

Door No. 2: Follow Julia Roberts' and Sigourney Weaver's footsteps from a generation (or two) ago and become an actress starring mostly in big- budget studio movies. Spending an afternoon with Jones in Toronto, where earlier in the day she attended the world premiere of J. A. Bayona's A Monster Calls at the Toronto Film Festival, there is evidence she is leaning toward No.

I always think Michelle Williams is excellent in her work," she says when asked with whom she most wants to work. And I do love Sofia Coppola. She always creates something so atmospheric. I love Wes Anderson, Roman Coppola, Andrea Arnold." On the other hand, this is a woman who has been in back- to- back- to- back productions for the past 1. The last Star Wars film, The Force Awakens, grossed $2.

Not since Weaver bitch- slapped an extraterrestrial in the old Alien movies has one actress carried such a huge sci- fi movie on her shoulders."It was nonstop," she says of the past year, gazing at Tousignant's oddly soothing dot painting. But I always think when things are going well, you've got to roll with it and take those opportunities. Because you never quite know where the next one is going to take you."Jones landed her first big role at age 1. British family film The Treasure Seekers. But growing up in Bournville, Birmingham, England, she saw acting as more of a hobby than a career plan, something she squeezed into holidays and summer vacations. She took it seriously — after school, she attended the Central Junior Television Workshop, performing in a production of A Midsummer Night's Dream, among many other plays — but wasn't dreaming of movie stardom.

I don't think my parents would have let me go straight into acting full time when I was 1. I do like to have balance, naturally, as an individual."Her home life was well- mannered but distinctly bohemian.

Her parents divorced when she was 3, but she remained close to both. On Sundays, her dad would gather her and her younger brother (who now works as a documentary editor) and two half siblings around a table to read all of the U. K. newspapers, covering the entire political spectrum, from The Sun to The Telegraph. Her mom would show them foreign movies.

She was obsessed with French and Swedish cinema," Jones recalls. I also remember our mother showing us Gone With the Wind very early on. She absolutely loved Vivien Leigh, so it must have been a formative experience for me, thinking, 'Oh, maybe one day I'll be like Vivien Leigh.' "That day still was a little further down the line.

Jones took time off from acting to study English literature at Oxford, writing her thesis on Virginia Woolf. I liked that she gets in the minds of people," she says, "and that contradiction between what people are thinking and how they're behaving, which is obviously what we're exploring all the time as an actor." But after graduating in 2.

British fare as Doctor Who and Brideshead Revisited. Then, in 2. 01. 1, she got cast as a lead in Like Crazy, playing an English girl in Los Angeles who falls in love with an American boy — played by the late Anton Yelchin — before getting deported. The film became a Sundance darling and got Jones noticed by Hollywood (and upstaged Jennifer Lawrence in the process), even if it didn't exactly explode at the box office (grossing only $3.

It also began a friendship with Yelchin that lasted until his death in June, when his Jeep Cherokee rolled down the driveway of his L. A. home and crushed him against a gate. It's been devastating," Jones says of the tragedy, obviously still shaken. It doesn't feel like there's any justice or there's no way of understanding it, really. It's just been a very difficult time for his family.

They're very dignified, beautiful people. He was just like no one else. He really was a unique soul."After Like Crazy, Jones kicked around British TV some more (co- starring with Bill Nighy in a David Hare spy series called Page Eight) and picked up parts in quirky indies (like Hysteria, about the invention of the vibrator)while occasionally venturing to Hollywood for smaller roles in bigger productions (playing Harry Osborn's executive assistant in The Amazing Spider- Man 2). But in 2. 01. 3, she caught her biggest break yet when she was cast as Jane Hawking in The Theory of Everything.

Her performance not only earned her that best actress Oscar nomination (Jones took both of her parents to the 2. Including one from a certain famous tentpole director who was looking for a lead actress in his next giant franchise sequel."Her performance in The Theory of Everything was so impressive," says Howard, who decided to cast Jones as Sienna, a mysterious doctor entangled with Hanks' Robert Langdon in Inferno, after seeing the Stephen Hawking biopic. That character could have been straightforward and predictable, and yet, in her hands, it was the opposite."Jones, however, took her time saying yes to Inferno. She's shamelessly balky," Howard describes her.

She'll say 'yes' and then 'no' and then 'yes' and then 'no.' " Her concerns weren't about the script — "That Sienna must be an equal to Langdon in her intellectual capabilities was very clear to Ron and me from the very beginning," she says — or any other creative element of the film (in which Langdon solves a puzzle hidden in Botticelli's Map of Hell). It was scheduling. The whole contract turned on whether she could have a certain set number of days off when her brother's wife was having a baby," explains Howard.

She was going to blow the movie if we couldn't rearrange the schedule and let that happen."Once she finally signed on, though, Jones threw herself into the part. She visited museums and galleries and steeped herself in the world of art.

She also created a scrapbook, something she does for all her parts. Pictures that I see that remind me of the person I'm playing, little bits of writing," she describes of its contents. As much as possible, I'm trying to understand who the characters are and why they're making the decisions that they're making." Her scrapbook for her character in A Monster Calls — which she shot right before Inferno, in September 2.
