In the German film “Timeless: The Ruby Book”, the actors embody the plot of the eponymous work written by Kerstin Gere on the screens. Who played the main roles in this teenage fairy tale and what reviews did the painting receive?
Timeless: The Ruby Book: actors. Maria Erich as Gwendolyn
Gwendoline Shepherd is a dark-haired teenage girl who discovers the ability to move in time. Gwendolyn's father died when she was still small, and her mother moved with her children to England. From a young age, Gwendolyn knew how to see ghosts, for which she was ridiculed by her brothers and sisters. And then one day she was completely accidentally transferred to the 19th century.
At first, Gwen poorly controls her abilities, but then begins to move with the help of a chronograph to where she needs it. About these incredible travels, in fact, the film “Timeless: The Ruby Book” narrates.
The actors who played the main roles in the film are young, but they have already done a lot of creative work. For example, Maria Erich, who has played the role of Gwendolyn, has been on television since 2003. By the time she got the main role in Timeless, the young actress had 21 films in her filmography.
Timeless turned out to be a successful project, so the actress subsequently starred in the sequel to the film called Sapphire Book. And in 2016 the third part - “The Emerald Book” will be released.
Timeless: The Ruby Book: actors and roles. Janis Nivener as Gideon
Any fairy-tale heroine must have a lover. The actors of the film “Timeless: The Ruby Book” Janis Nivener and Maria Erich play a romantic couple.
Gideon performed by Janis is also a
time traveler. According to the law of the genre, Gideon and Gwendolyn at first hate each other. But for one reason or another they have to work together. Starting to go through the most difficult tests together, young people come to the conclusion that they are not so annoying. Already in the final of the picture, they confess their feelings, and viewers see the first kiss of Gideon and Gwendolyn.
Actor Janis Nivener after the release of "Timeless" on the screens became the undoubted idol of all teenage girls. The young actor began his film career at the same age as Maria Erich, but in his filmography there are much fewer works. Nivener's face can be seen in the films "Gang", "Powerpuff Girls-2" and "4 Kings".
Veronica Ferres as Grace
In the film Timeless: The Ruby Book, actors Veronica Ferres and Maria Erich play mother and daughter. True, later it turns out that Grace Shepherd is not Gwendolyn's mother at all: the girl's real parents are Paul de Willer and Lucy Montrose. But this does not stop Grace from loving the girl as a native.
Veronica Ferres, who played this role, is known for the German comedy "Shtonk!", Which in 1992 was even nominated for an Oscar. Also, from time to time, the actress appeared in the famous detective series "Commissioner Rex."
Other role performers
The actors of the film “The Ruby Book” are both the model of Laura Berlin, and Jennifer Lotsey, and Josephine Preuss (“Turkish for Beginners”).
Paul played the role of Florian Bartholomew, who can be seen in the drama "Reader" with Kate Winslet and the detective "One thing for two." Kostya Ulman (“The Prodigal Son”), Katarina Talbach (“Ludwig of Bavaria”), Axel Milberg (“Forbidden Territory”) and Chiara Shoras (“Chef and Pianist”) also appeared in the frame.
Viewers Opinions
Reviews of the painting "Timeless", as expected, come more and more from adolescents. Although this picture can be called family, as it is adapted for different viewers.
Those who read the books of Kerstin Gere note that the film surpassed the work of the writer, who “sharpened” her novel for girls.
The acting is also pleasing, and the plot combines exciting adventures, humor, and a melodramatic line.
Some viewers claim that the creators of the picture did a good job of temporary jumps: the interior, costumes, the manner of holding on - everything is thought out to the last detail.
Fans of the franchise note that the atmosphere of the film and the plot cause some kind of “addiction”: after watching the picture, I want to see it at least a few times, as well as read a book and wait for the sequel.
But the “stones” fly to the creators of the Ruby Book. The fans of Harry Potter aggressively took the film because they saw a certain plagiarism in this picture and an attempt to put this film on a par with the creation of the film company Worner Bros. Still, such criticism is unfair, because the plot of “Timeless” has nothing in common with the script created on the basis of the books of Joan Rowling.
The audience was upset by the predictable and hackneyed end of the film: a school ball at which the main character allegedly appeared in all its glory. At the beginning of the film, she looked about the same.
So Timeless: The Ruby Book is a wonderful movie for romantically inclined boys and girls, which is suitable for family viewing.
