FIRST LOOK: KATHRYN BIGELOW'S "ZERO DARK THIRTY"

Still from Zero Dark Thirty

Without a doubt a Best Picture Frontrunner at the Oscars next year, Zero Dark Thirty is Director Kathryn Bigelow's eagerly-awaited follow-up to Best Picture Winner, The Hurt Locker. Its story is intriguing enough centering on the build-up leading to the take-down of Osama bin Laden, certainly not without its share of controversy with several question marks surrounding how Bigelow got her hands on what was confidential information, from President Obama's Administration.

Jessica Chastain, Jennifer Ehle, Joel Edgerton, Jason Clarke, Mark Strong, Chris Pratt and Taylor Kinney (yes, Boyfriend of Lady Gaga), all star in Zero Dark Thirty.

INTERVIEW: MARK STRONG ON "GREEN LANTERN"

Mark Strong in Toronto - June 2011

"Ah, Parking Validation.  What a fascinating thing!", he tells a small group of Journalists today as he entered the Interview Suite of his Hotel. Mark Strong had just arrived in Toronto earlier to promote his latest Film Green Lantern, Warner Bros.' eagerly-awaited Blockbuster from Director Martin Campbell. Dressed in a fitted navy blue Blazer, a crisp blue Shirt and Jeans, the 47 year-old British Thespian - and Father of two - admits, "I only first learned of Parking Validation in Los Angeles".

Strong's new-found Fame in North America having starred in recent mega-hits like Sherlock Holmes and Kick-Ass has been long overdue perhaps, after spending many years on-stage and in lesser-known  (in these parts at least) Television Series in the U.K.  He considers himself lucky to be cast in big-budget productions now, often as the Villain, posing the question "What's the point of making something that will never be seen?". He reveals that his eldest Son recently witnessed Fans approaching him for Autographs, confused at the sight of it all.  He had explained to his six year-old, "This is just a feature of my job, but it does not mean in any way that I am better than they are.".

Growing-up in London, Strong admits knowing little about American Superheroes - other than Superman whom he considers most iconic - as they were more obscure overseas. "I honestly knew nothing about Green Lantern.... Martin sent me a load of Comics to read. I became hooked on the look of Sinestro", whom he plays in this DC Comics adaptation.  The Character is the Leader of a race of Peace Protectors  (Lanterns) who shun the one chosen Human Hal Jordan (Ryan Reynolds).  Hal is faced with the daunting task of overcoming his fears and limitations as a Human in order to save the Universe from destructive Parallax (voiced by Clancy Brown).
