“The Crown” star Vanessa Kirby is swapping British royalty for outer space after signing on for “StarDream,” the upcoming sci-fi movie from “The Wife” helmer Bjorn Runge.
Kirby takes the lead role of Andreya in the Silver Reel and Bigscope Films-produced picture, which follows the story of a spaceship hastily constructed to transport hundreds of thousands of cryogenically frozen humans from a failing planet Earth. When the on-board computer malfunctions, coder Andreya develops an artificial intelligence-based solution that she calls Stephen. But Stephen develops a profound attachment to Andreya, compromising the mission and the future of the human race.
“To play the leading role in this intergalactic drama needs an extremely sensitive and thoughtful actress who can maintain the balance in her character: I have found that actress in Vanessa Kirby,” Runge said. “It is a tremendous honor for me to work together with her on this film.”
Hi everyone! Vanessa’s has been filming new projects which we don’t have any news to add to, but we found some brand new outtakes from Glamour Women of The Year Awards photoshoot as well as a new editorial spread! Vanessa is currently featured on Vogue’s April US edition. She wears a lipstick-red Miu Miu top and skirt with a crystal-embellished belt.

To Vanessa Kirby, the British actress who portrayed Princess Margaret in The Crown, it appears that much of the film industry is about “selling stuff.” But in a TV series like The Crown, not only do you get the ability to explore a character to capacity, you’re working on a platform that, as she says, “doesn’t have to be sold.”
Kirby, alongside González, will soon appear in Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw, and Kirby’s mission in that movie was to make sure her character was not your average sex symbol. “She’s as much of a fighter as the men,” she elaborates. “I was wearing polo necks and trousers—I mean, you literally don’t see any skin at all. And it was important to make sure she is never saved by the man. Even if it’s on a subconscious level, a thirteen-year-old girl might walk out of the cinema and feel, ‘Oh, I’m as capable as my brother.’ ” All of this was Kirby’s idea, and, she says, she “felt heard”: “I think it’s a really different time.”
Vanessa is in NY, filming a yet to be known project, or by our guess could be the filming of the Untitled Adam Leon project. She was spotted out & about! We added a few brand new pictures from Vanessa while she was entering the latest Hugo Boss event as well as two brand new The Crown episode stills and the first promotional picture for Hobbs and Shawn!

“Richard and I were having such a laugh,” Kirby said after the show. “I was like ‘that one would look really good on you.’ And he liked a lot of the women’s ones. We’re friends, we’ve been friends for years.”
For herself, Kirby fancied the collection’s camel coat, but insisted it wouldn’t look the same on her. “I can’t pull most stuff off,” she said. “Plus when you try things on that have come from the runway, they’ve got these amazing models wearing them and then you try them on and you’re like, ‘ok, not quite the same.’” Kirby, most known for portraying Princess Margaret on “The Crown,” is in New York for the month filming a “beautiful little indie movie but I can’t talk about it.” She spent her morning off at the Boss show at the close of NYFW.
“I like their suits, you know?” she said of the brand. “I would always choose to wear a really simple suit. I feel way more comfortable wearing a more casual, slightly more masculine [look]. I prefer that to frills, always. I just feel better in it.”
“Helena is a great friend, she’s absolutely amazing. So in a way, to love a character that much, and then get to share her, is really rare, and that’s really cool,” Kirby said. “It feels like we both know the same person really intimately. But I would’ve done it forever, if I could. She’s so amazing – I got so lucky. The best time of my life.”
Once she wraps her current project, she’s off to Eastern Europe for another role. In the meantime, she’s getting her New York fix. “I did a play here a few years ago and I fell in love with New York, with my boyfriend,” she said. “I love it.”
Vanessa Kirby graced the red carpet with a small appearance on January 31st for a Vanity Fair party, but sadly missed the main event on Sunday. On January 31 she confidently wore a suit by Tory Burch and then flied to NY (we hope to film something!) she attended Tory Burch’s Fall Winter Fashion Show in NY wearing another suit this time in beige!
