Killing Eve Movie Poster 70 X 45 cm. (NOT A DVD)

Product Information

Eve and Villanelle were both “bad” for each other and they both needed to escape the toxic relationship they were in— pinning that blame too on the canonically queer character seems messy. Oh, and the fact that Eve and Villanelle end up together in the book series Codename Villanelle the show is based on doesn’t help matters either. BBC America, the original channel, said we couldn’t have that much blood on show, we couldn’t be too grotesque. The challenge was to make it feel very violent without actually showing anything. That’s a very different experience for the audience." Who are the Twelve in Killing Eve? The show has been nominated for and won plenty of awards since it first aired in 2018. It won the 2019 British Academy Television Awards for Best Drama Series, Best Leading Actress for Jodie Comer as Villanelle and Best Supporting Actress for Fiona Shaw as Carolyn Martens. Sandra Oh made history with her Golden Globe win in 2019 for Best Actress – Television Series Drama, as well as Jodie winning the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series.

And I don’t know if I could have scaled a wall quite like she could have done, and I'm not in my early 40s either." Of the multiple filming locations, writer and producer Phoebe Waller-Bridge said, "We’ve been all over the shop! We’ve been to Paris, Berlin, Tuscany, London and Romania - we were filming the Russian element of the story there. Luke Jennings spoke out about what inspired him to write the character of Villanelle in July 2020, telling the BBC that she "just came to him" fully formed, and that she "didn't enormously change" from then.

Killing Eve is based on Codename Villanelle, a fictional thriller novel written by British author Luke Jennings which was published in 2018. It was originally published as four e-book novellas available on Kindle, entitled Codename Villanelle, Villanelle: Hollowpoint, Villanelle: Shanghai and Odessa.

Speaking to Andrew Marr, Phoebe revealed that women everywhere are feeling "oddly empowered" by seeing women like this on TV. She said, "I think people are slightly exhausted by seeing women being brutalised on screen. He said, "I'd often thought of the idea of never having to worry about money. You could live the life you wanted but in return you have to every so often, just go and kill someone. She is the person who says 'Yes' to that deal. You know, it suits her, it really works for her." Hugo was another new character for series two, played by Edward Bluemel. He was described as follows: 'No one has ever said "no" to Hugo in his entire life. This is a man-boy so used to getting what he wants that people automatically just give it to him. Hugo wafted through Eton and Oxford, and was absolutely delighted to get the tap on the shoulder (from an old friend of Daddy's). He's not remotely surprised or grateful that, in his twenties, he is in a major Counter-Terrorism department in MI6. He's totally disrespectful to his elders and betters entitlement personified, but unfortunately, he is also completely irresistible. Kenny absolutely hates him.' She also revealed why there's not much blood in the series, "Strangely, there’s hardly any blood, there’s hardly any gruesomeness that we were allowed to show... There’s a man on the slab but no bits on show. We have just as much respect the other way around.
