Swedish newspaper article about Lina

[johnlord]

Yes, yes, I'm sad to say that Eli is nothing more than a memory now. Although fictional, as long as Lina was of the similar age as Eli, she/he was for me at least a little bit "real" (please, understand me well, it's only metaphorical, I've never really identify Lina with Eli). Lina is now a beautiful young girl, she will certainly be a good actress in her next films, but she is not Eli anymore. Sorry, I'm a little sentimental. The same happend to me when I was watching the last episode of Friends . Time goes too fast, but c'est la vie...

Good work, Team Eli. In less than 12 hours from the time of the original post, we all had access to a PDF, and translation, of the newspaper article.

Indeed, thanks to everyone involved for all the effort. The article and pictures are a real treat.

I processed the PDF thru an OCR program, don't know how accurate it rendered it:

"Jag vill garna bli skadespelare efter skolan"
Lina fick mersmak av rollen som vampyr

— Jag har dansat och speIat teater anda sedan jag var atta ar. Efter det borjade jag "gymma" ett tag, med det blev fort trakigt, sa nu far det nog bli dans igen, sager Lina Leandersson som hade en av huvudrollerna i succéfilmen Lat den ratte komma in. Nu har det gatt nagra ar sedan premiairen, men Lina hoppas kunnajobba som skadespelerska i framtiden.

Lina som var medlem pa en hemsida fran Stagepool sag att de sokte en skadespelare eller skadespelerska i hennes alder till en film inspelning.

Den sokande skulle helst ocksa vara vig och smidig, sa rollen skulle
med andra ord passa henne som hand i handske. Lina hade turen med sig och
fick aka till Stockholm pa audition och visa vem hon var; och vad hon kunde.

Forst pa plats i Stockholm fick hon veta att nastan 3000 sokt rollen som blodtorstig vampyr till filmen Lét den ratte komma in.

Akte pa casting
— Jag var ner till Stockholm tre ganger innan jag fick traffa Tomas Alfredsson som regisserade filmen, och forst fjarde gangen fick jag traffa Kare Hedebrandt, min motspelare "Oskar". Naturligtv is var det jattenervost infor castingen, men jag tankte att bara jag gor mitt basta, sedan far det bli som det vill med resten, tankte jag.

— Jag gjorde nog att bra intryck, for jag var den som antagligen lyckades
bast och fick rollen, sager Lina och lyser med hela ansiktet.

Alfredsscn regissor
Filmen spelades in i bade Umea och Stockholm, och det tog tre manader att spela 1n den nastan tva timmar langa filmen. Lina visste ingenting om vad som skulle handa ifor varje taging, i stallet fick hon det berattat av Tomas Alfredsson nar tagningen skulle goras. Lina tror att det var for att 1nte hon skulle lasa in manuset 1 forvag 0ch tolka scenen pa sitt eget satt.

Vill resa efter skclan
— Det var inga som helst problem med inspelningen, alla var sa bra och hur gulliga som helst, Nar jag gatt klart nian har i Falun tanker jag soka till Sodra Latin i Stockholm till estetiska linjen, och sedan ska jag soka scenskolan. Ty varr har jag ingen kontakt med skadespelarna fran
filmen langre, bara lite pa Facebook.

— Blir det inte film i framtiden sa kan jag tanka mig att bli journalist eller kanske rentav advokat. Det verkar ocksa intressant tycker jag. Men innan jag borjar jobba tanker jag aka ut och resa runt i varlden forst, och da framst till Afrika. Dar kanns det nastan som att jag skulle kunna bo naget ar; Vi far val se vad det blir, det ar ju anda nagra ar kvar i skolan, sager Lina.

After that I started "gym" for a while, but it quickly got boring, so now it'll probably be dancing again, "says Lina Leandersson who had a leading role in the hit film Let the Right One In. Now it has been some years since Premiair, but Lina hopes to work as an actress in the future.

Went on a casting

Naturligtv ice was jattenervost information casting, but I thought only I do my best, then I will do as it wishes with the rest, I thought.

straw and got the part, "says Lina and shines all over his face.

The film was shot in both Umeå and Stockholm, and it took three months to play 1n the almost two-hour movie. Lina knew nothing about what would happen ifor each taging, the barn, she is told by Tomas Alfredsson when shooting would be done. Lina think it was for that 1nte she would load a script beforehand 0ch interpret the scene in their own way.

I think this translation is a bit better. I didn't use Google for it.

Yes, yes, I'm sad to say that Eli is nothing more than a memory now. Although fictional, as long as Lina was of the similar age as Eli, she/he was for me at least a little bit "real" (please, understand me well, it's only metaphorical, I've never really identify Lina with Eli). Lina is now a beautiful young girl, she will certainly be a good actress in her next films, but she is not Eli anymore. Sorry, I'm a little sentimental. The same happend to me when I was watching the last episode of Friends . Time goes too fast, but c'est la vie...

For some reason for me it's the opposite, I feel glad that Lina no longer looks like Eli.

[drakkar]

For me Lina and Eli was quite different, from the very moment I watched this interview with her. Notice how different Lina's voice is from Eli's/Elif's :

One hilarious mistranslation is Per Ragnar as Spalding Gray, the name of the American playwright, and actor.

For some strange reason, I have run across Per Ragnar being associated with Spalding Gray before. And I have even seen Per's picture captioned as Spalding Gray. What I think is that Per may have played the part of Spalding Gray; perhaps on stage. I do know that Per does a performance on stage as Adolf Hitler, and even has written a book about Hitler. If it's still on YouTube, there's a video snippet of Per doing his Hitler performance. It's short, but Per does a very good Hitler imitation. Per also has his own website (perragnar.se). Check it out if you've never been there. He's an extremely versatile guy.

Just a thought. Since Lina mentioned perhaps becoming a lawyer, I wonder if "a contemplative life" might have influenced her???

There was a recent performance of Hitler that Per was giving that was disrupted by some ultra right wing group, I guess they did not like way Per portrayed the Fuhrer.
