Meet the Stars of Tomorrow 2011

Introducing the UK actors, directors, writers and animators who are shaping up as the hottest prospects in the business and whose stars are most likely to be on the rise in the coming year

Welcome to Screen’s annual UK Stars of Tomorrow, a glimpse of the hot talent which will dominate UK and international film over the next few decades.

This feature, which selects the most exciting names about to break each year, has been running for eight years. Stars this year has been curated by long-time Screen collaborator Fionnuala Halligan, who worked painstakingly over the course of several months to curate the selection, watching shorts, reading scripts and consulting with agents, producers, casting directors and development executives over the new names likely to break out, assembling a final group of 30.

Previous Stars of Tomorrow include James McAvoy, Robert Pattinson, Emily Blunt, Carey Mulligan, Andrea Arnold, Rupert Friend, Dev Patel, Aaron Johnson, Gemma Arterton, Rebecca Hall and many others.  Luke Evans, one of Screen’s stars from 2009, will this year be seen as one of The Three Musketeers and as Zeus in Immortals. Sam Claflin, a Star last year, is third lead to Johnny Depp and Penelope Cruz in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides which has just crossed $900m at the worldwide box office. It’s no wonder that Hollywood agents, managers and casting directors clamour to get their copy each year.

This year, we gathered our stars for a photo shoot in early June at The Club At The Ivy in London, which generously donated the use of its elegant rooms to the session. And later in July, Screen and De Lane Lea studios are hosting a summer party to celebrate this year’s line-up. .
