During filming Natalie also got to showoff her swordsmanship - she's an excellent fencer. "The swordplay in Casanova is beautiful. I'm actually disappointed that there isn't more," says Dormer. "I suppose I'm quite violent. I took a stage combat class at school and developed quite a sword collection." Furthermore based on her performance in Casanova Natalie was to receive a three picture deal with Disney/Touchstone.

During 2007 and 2008 Natalie portrayed the ill-fated second wife of Henry VIII, Anne Boleyn in 'The Tudors'.
