Biography
ALICE BRAGA Brazilian born actress Alice Braga has been receiving critical acclaim and international recognition ever since her stirring performance in CITY OF GOD helped catapult the film to multiple Golden Globe and Oscar® nominations. Appearing in nearly a dozen films in just five years, Braga, already fixture of Brazilian cinema, has captured Hollywood's attention with a host of promising projects on the horizon.
The actress also starred opposite Will Smith in the record-breaking box office hit I AM LEGEND. Based on the novel by Richard Matheson, the Warner Bros. release is directed by Francis Lawrence with a screenplay adapted by Akiva Goldsman and Mark Protosevich.
Braga was then seen in David Mamet's REDBELT, chronicling the life of a Jiu-jitsu master, played by Chiwetel Ejiofor, who must enter the ring to redeem his honor after being conned by movie stars and promoters. Tim Allen and Emily Mortimer also star; Sony Pictures Classics released the film on May 2, 2008.
Braga reunited with her CITY OF GOD director, Fernando Meirelles, co-starring in BLINDNESS, a film based on a novel by Nobel Prize winner Jose Saramago. The film tells the story of a doctor's wife who becomes the only person with the ability to see after an entire town is struck with a mysterious case of sudden blindness. The film also stars Julianne Moore and Mark Ruffalo and was released in October 2008 by Miramax Films.
Braga recently wrapped shooting on Universal's REPOSSESSION MAMBO opposite Jude Law and Forest Whitaker. Written by Eric Garcia, adapted from his own novel, this Sci-Fi film follows a man as he struggles to pay off his heart transplant before it is repossessed. This film is slated for a 2009 release.
Braga's past credits include: her portrayal of a carefree art student opposite Diego Luna, in SÓLO DIOS SABE (“God Only Knows”) which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival; A JOURNEY TO THE END OF THE NIGHT, an independent film set against the backdrop of the Brazilian sex trade industry with Mos Def and Brendan Fraser; the riveting drama about the dangers of a love triangle, CIDADE BAIXA (“Lower City”) in which A.O. Scott of the New York Times hailed Braga as "one of the most forthrightly and powerfully sexual screen actresses in the world", and the offbeat comedy CHEIRO DO RALO, O (“Drained”).
Alice is fluent in Portuguese, Spanish and English.
