I think sequels should be earned and we won't do it unless the script is better than the first one.
How stupid do you have to be to imagine that you can turn 'The Lord Of The Rings' into a film script?
When I first read the script, I realized that Katie would have to be played as a rather down-to-earth person.
I'm always looking for films, but the horror scripts that I get tend to be very repetitive and often not that interesting.
The director is a Canadian, Jeff Stephenson, and any time I get a script that has any Canadian component, I'm always immediately much more interested.
I'm so touched that complete strangers will send me a script asking me to be in their film. That still amazes me - and sometimes for a lot of money too.

In my early 20s, I didn't even know what the Groundlings was. I had no idea. But I know how to break down a script and work on the character.
marmalade? Oh dear, I call that very feeble.
