British actress Gemma Arterton has inadvertently revealed that she will be appearing in Michael Mann’s upcoming biopic about combat photographer Robert Capa, Comingsoon.net is reporting. While accepting Total Film‘s 2010 award for “Hottest Actress,” the ‘Clash of the Titans’ star accidentally said that since she’s aiming to sign onto more diversified roles, the Capa biography “is confirmed.”

After adding that she wasn’t sure if she was allowed to be talking about the project yet, Arterton also let it slip that ‘The Social Network’ star Andrew Garfield is also on board for the Capa biopic. In the Sony release, Arterton will appear as Capa’s fellow photographer Gerda Tara, the first female journalist to cover a war. The two had a two-year affair during the Spanish Civil War. While it’s suspected that Garfield will play Capa, nothing has been validated on his end yet.
