How did you get the part of Christine in '4Got10'?
I got
the part through my friend Michael Pare. I have done many movies with
already. He vouched for me. Thank you Michael! I really appreciate it
when actors support other actors, especially in such a self centered
driven business.
Yes,
it is always important to support others, that is cool, it is good at
times to skip the arduous audition process. What attracted you to the script?
It
felt like a gritty film that I could have fun with, which I did. The
characters in '4Got10' seemed fun to play, and I had never done a
character such as Christine before.
Yeah I
noticed that your character haa a cunning, devious side, and very likable,
hahaha. In addition, I noticed very cool indie people worked on the film, did you have a
chance to chat with Dolph or Danny Trejo during the production?
I
spoke a lot to Dolph because we have worked together before and
laughed about our last experience together. We were both going
through endings in relationships and we both looked older in our last
film because of the personal stress we both had . I did terrible on
that film and my acting was the worst . I was experimenting on
something that did not work. Obviously, my break up at the time did
not help my judgment of character.
I met
Danny in a Mexican restaurant before shooting right by set. I was too
shy to say hello and introduce myself, right then, but later that day
I did. It was kind of dorky but I asked him for a picture of him and
I and then forgot to get one . He was very nice.
I
think you are a natural in films with the two of them. Any unusual
stories on the set of 4Got10?
I
brought my old boyfriend John Foo on set, and they gave him a job on
the spot, right before he booked the new show Rush Hour. He was
straight off the boat from Thailand broke so it gave him some pocket
money while he was testing for Rush Hour. Obviously, John won't be in
that position again. We were all very happy when he booked Jackie
Chan's character in the new show.
Another
story: This was my first movie as a mother. I had recently gave birth
to my son William, and I was calling babysitters on my minutes off
camera, stressed out of my mind. I barely had sleep while filming the
movie and I think I felt pretty off with my body. I was very sick the
day of the sex scene. I had food poisoning, great timing...
Wow,
now that is a crazy story, and proves that you have to put aside
issues, when the camera rolls.. How to be romantic, when doubling
over in pain, Natassia, that was a great effort. Shifting gears a
three part question, How much input did you have on your character?
Were the director and producer open to your take on Christine? What
did you think of your character, anything you would change?
I had
a lot of input because a lot of it was improvised. I really like to
do that. You don't have to feel restricted by text that way . The
director Timothy was very helpful too. I really liked my character,
if I would change something it would probably be my hair and make up
and perhaps the out fits I chose to wear.. maybe it would've been
even more fun if i played even more bratty. Bratty is funny to play.
You
make a great brat! Natassia, I must ask, some more sexy scenes in
'4Got10', is the prep any different than the salacious stuff in an
Uwe film or, just go and get it over with? Do you prepare differently
with each actor on each film?
I did
not prepare for that scene. I was too busy worrying about food
poisoning. I was however less worried about the scene then Uwe's sex
scene in 'Bloodrayne: The Third Reich''. In that film I did the sex
scene Uwe Boll made me do without my desire to do it, I called my
agent, but he was sleeping on the other side of the world . I held up
production freaking out, and I had a screaming match with Uwe about
it. It got so tense on set. I caved in and eventually did it, as I
was holding up production and could get sued. I don't know, but I
wasn't happy about that scene.
Thanks
for giving me the honesty, respect, let us end this interview on a
positive note, What is next in the movie realm for Natassia, new
films or projects?
My
next movie is Four Towers I think. We are waiting for all the
schedules to click. I am in Australia right now so auditioning is a
little scarce.. I will know more about what to do with my career from
Australia when I get better acquainted with the scene here...
Natassia,
I can always count on you to be straight forwad and honest For my
Dan's Movie Report readers, watch for more on Natassia, as each
production she works on a new interview will appear!
Thanks
Dan always good to hear from you:)
Great interview! :)
