A month back Swedish actress Noomi Rapace signed on for the sequel to Guy Rithcie's "Sherlock Holmes". The rumor then was that she would play a French Gypsy, Now the actress has revealed that the rumor is indeed true. She described her character briefly while talking to moviefone:
“a traveler [who is] cool [but] a bit crazy”
She also explained how she prepared for the role
“I’m doing a lot of research about gypsies. I’m going to Paris to visit some gypsy camps, and I’m going to Transylvania to actually see how they live. Because the gypsies are so poor, they live pretty much the same as they did then, and they keep in the traditions and all of that, so when you go to Transylvania, for example, they live pretty close to the way they lived hundreds of years ago. So I’m listening to gypsy music and I’m learning to sing and dance.”
Sherlock Holmes 2 will be released December 16, 2011 directed buy Guy Ritchie and starring, Robert Downey Jr, Jude Law, Jarred Harris, Stephen Fry, and Noomi Rapace
