I’ve just added 164 DVD screen captures of Helena’s appearance in 2009 action film Terminator: Salvation. She plays Dr. Serena Kogan, and it’s interesting to note that after the original script was leaked, her role was substantially re-written, and there is really nothing online about her character except Helena’s quote that “I kind of play a baddie, definitely a baddie. I don’t know how much I’m allowed to say, but I’m a very bad person.” – one of her most elusive roles, I think!

Helena and Tim are currently attending the British Academy Television Awards! The first few pictures are already surfacing – I love Helena’s hat! I’ve added a few pics to the gallery, and more will be added as they appear – enjoy!

Unfortunately, Helena did not win the award she was nominated for – congratulations to the equally-talented actress Julie Walters for her award-winning performance in Mo!

I’ve just added 151 DVD screen captures of Helena’s appearance as Bellatrix Lestrange from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. She totally deserves more screentime in my opinion, as Bellatrix is an amazing character that Helena portrays just brilliantly. Hopefully she’ll be on our screens a lot more in the final films! I’m going to go through the DVD extras and add any additional caps this weekend, so stay tuned for those – enjoy!

Helena Bonham Carter has movie greats Bette Davis and Joan Crawford and her daughter to thank for her tantrum-throwing Red Queen character in husband Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland – the odd trio helped her create the perfect fantasy villain.

The actress begged her director husband to be a part of the film and when he agreed he presented her with some research she had to work with.

And the Brit admits Burton’s ideas for the character really helped her become the Red Queen.

She tells WENN, “He said to think of Elizabeth I and I said that I got that. He said it was Bette Davis in the film of Elizabeth I, The Privates Lives Of Elizabeth And Essex. So I watched that and then Joan Crawford in Mommie Dearest.

“The voice kind of came from my daughter; I thought that the Red Queen had arrested development and that I was pitching her about two years old… She’s like a toddler, she has a tantrum all the time. She’s a toddler tyrant – toddlers are tyrants!

“They’ve got no sympathy for any other living creatures… the toddler thing was a big thing. My two year old daughter – she is quieter now – was retrospective inspiration. Two is kind of the time when you don’t have any empathy for any other living creature. You slap things and it’s all about me. That’s OK in a toddler but not in a grown-up toddler.”

Helena Bonham Carter has hinted she may sing in another film.

The Alice In Wonderland star loved singing in her partner Tim Burton’s musical film adaptation of Sweeney Todd and is keen to do more.

She revealed: “I love singing. But I didn’t have long enough to practice. There is talk of something but it’s too early to talk about it.”

The 44-year-old actress has two children – six-year-old Billy and two-year-old Nell – with director Tim and believes singing is so good for you it helped her get pregnant, although Tim wasn’t so keen on her vocal exercises.

She revealed: “Singing is exciting and daunting – the more you do it, the more you realise how much hard graft it is. But you know what? I bet you that I got pregnant because I was singing for Sweeney Todd. I was breathing properly because I was singing and it produces happy hormones too. It is very healthy, a great thing to do. Afterwards I said I was going to sing every day and continue to do my exercises and Tim said… ‘no, you’re not!’

“Of course you fall out of the habit but I would love to do another musical.”

:: Alice In Wonderland is released on Blu-ray and DVD on Friday June 4.
