 Evan Rachel Wood
Interview By: MarkPlante
*Click Here For Another Interview with Evan Rachel Wood
Evan Rachel Wood, the star of the new film Pretty Persuasions doesn’t have to persuade the Cinema Source to sit down and talk to her about her newest film or about her own real life growing pains.
Wood burst on to the scene in 1999 portraying the tough side of growing up on the acclaimed, but short lived television series Once and Again. She then went on to garner a Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild nomination at the age of sixteen for her turn over to the dark side of adolescence in the film Thirteen.
Always a bit older then the characters she portrays, Wood on the cups of turning eighteen, seems to be grateful to bring a little bit of her own experience into the making of the film, with characters that can be frightening.
“Well um I don’t know...when I first read the script..um. I was suppose to be playing another part...so um...and then a about a year and a half after I was attached to it Marcus called me and wanted to know what I would think about playing Kimberly and my jaw just dropped and I was like...ah.. and I was really nervous about it and you know kind of scared because it was a really, really hard role,” said Wood. “But I guess that’s what kind of drew me to it because it was really complicated and hard. I never really done a comedy before and so um that really drew me to it.”
Wood was also drawn to the humor , which is in the same vein as Heathers and To Die For. “Totally my sense of humor. I love that dark comedy of ‘this is so screwed up that it’s funny. And I don’t know whether to laugh or cry’. I liked how at first glance you could be like oh I’ve seen this movie and I’ve seen this character, but once you watch it, it is different and you can’t put your finger on it.”
What Wood also sees is a truth to these characters that all teenagers will be able to relate too, even if the parents themselves are too blind to see the real truth.
“Some people do believe it. I knew some girls..who...who got in trouble with some of the parents. And then the parents would go rat them out to the parents of the troublemakers. And there reaction is “Look at that face. Does that look like a face that could do anything wrong? And I was like ‘oh how can you be so naive?’
Wood believes fourteen is now becoming the new seventeen and agrees it is kind of scary, realizing that she herself started learning too much way too soon at the age of thirteen.
However hurtful the character of Kimberly was to play, Wood finds it easy to sympathize ...
