Natalia wrote a new blog on her Official Myspace titled ‘Fireworks’. She mentions her emotional birthday weekend, and that she is filming for a new role!

. . . It’s fireworks night and I’m spending it in Newcastle as I’m filming an adaptation of a book called “Ways to Live Forever”, a funny story about living told through the medium of 2 terminally ill children. It sounds like a contradiction in terms, but most things are. I love fireworks. Dogs don’t apparently. Wherever you are drink a toast to the belief in revolution and the importance of warm alcohol while singing at the momentary explosions of colour blasting the night. …. {Read All}

Ways to Live Forever is a children’s book by British author Sally Nicholls. Here is the summary off of the official site:

Sam loves facts. He wants to know about UFOs and horror movies and airships and ghosts and scientists, and how it feels to kiss a girl. And because he has leukaemia he wants to know the facts about dying. Sam needs answers to the questions nobody will answer. {waystoliveforever.co.uk}

The 2010 film will be directed by Gustavo Ron and includes prestigious young actors such as Emilia Fox, Ben Chaplin and Alex Etel. It is yet unknown what role Natalia will play, and she is yet to be listed on the official Ways to Live Forever IMDB page.

This sounds great for Nat, especially because the director is based in her hometown of Spain, and we know how good she is working with children :).

If you’ve been following the Nat Net Forums, you might have noticed our wonderful co-web Beth had to resign because of time issues. I’ve had some time issues of my own lately, and know that a co-web (or two) would really benefit the quality of the site. You don’t necessarily need to know HTML or have graphic design skills, but it does help. Most importantly you have to be a big fan of Nat and be dedicated to posting news, finding photos and helping out on the forums, as well as updating the content of the site.
