Rosamund Pike says she is having "one of the most meaningful moments of my career" with her portrayal of war correspondent Marie Colvin in her new film A Private War.
The English actress told the Press Association: "I think I took it on very deeply, the responsibility of playing Marie Colvin, and the fact that somehow there is a conversation being generated by the film that is bigger than the film is very, very gratifying because it's what Marie would have wanted.
"Marie was never someone who was out for personal glory or to be famous in her own right, although she became so because she was so good at what she did, but she never wanted herself at the centre of the story.
"She wanted people to care and I think that is what I felt about this film.
"You make the film, you care so deeply, will anyone care when it reaches the screen? And they are caring and beyond caring."
