Amy Smart Exclusive Interview DEAD AWAKE
Question: How did you get involved with Dead Awake? Was it an audition, or had they specifically asked to see you?
AMY SMART: I was fortunate to get offered the role. I met with Omar Naim. I’m a really big fan of his. I loved The Final Cut. I just thought it was an original film. So, after reading Dead Awake, I decided that I wanted to work with him. I also like Nick Stahl a lot, and Rose McGowan. I thought it would just be a really interesting, unusual, original movie.
Do you prefer the type of situation where you can just meet with and talk to someone about a role, instead of having to audition?
SMART: It’s a mix. Sometimes, when I do audition, I feel like I’m won the role because they’ve seen what I can do and, therefore, that’s why they’re hiring me. So, there is a gratification from that. But then, I also really like meeting with filmmakers and talking about it and them already trusting that I could play that role. It’s a little bit more of a creative collaboration.
What was it about this project and this character that appealed to you and made you want to get involved?
SMART: I loved that she had this past with this ex-love of hers, and that she’d moved on, yet she still has this hope in her heart for her old love. And that she’s a nurse. She didn’t really follow her dreams, but she’s settling and trying to make the most of her life. And then, out of the blue, she reconnects with her old love. I liked the history of it. I liked the characters and their tortured past.
1st look at Emma Stone’s Gwen Stacy hairdo
Stone, who will star opposite Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker’s first love interest in director Marc Webb’s reboot of the Spider-Man franchise, was caught sporting her brand-new Gwen Stacy look at Trevor Live at the Hollywood Palladium on Sunday.
Dead Awake looks interesting and I like Amy Smart. Do you plan on seeing it?
What do you think of Emma Stone’s Gwen Stacy look? Does it fit the part? I’m not on board with the reboot to begin with, but her hair seems fine to me lol.
