Emily Blunt is on the Hollywood fast track.
But she still makes time for small, intimate films like "Salmon Fishing in the Yemen." In the offbeat romantic comedy opening today in St. Louis, Blunt plays a young woman who gets involved with a sheik's efforts to bring fishing to a desert. In the process, she also gets to know a fisheries expert (played by Ewan McGregor) who's highly skeptical of the project.
"These little movies need a lot of pushing," Blunt says. "It's a word-of-mouth thing." What attracted her to "Salmon Fishing in the Yemen," she says, was the fact that it "felt original and smart. "I certainly read quite a few generic scripts. Occasionally one comes along that just lifts your spirits, and you're like, 'Wow, this is so refreshing.' And I really thought it was character-rich, as opposed to special-effects-rich."
