 Julia Stiles
Spotlight By: Rocco Passafuime
*Click here for another interview with Julia Stiles!* At only the age of 26, actress Julia Stiles has already amassed an incredible filmography. Her roles are wide-ranging and run the gamut from films like 10 Things I Hate About You to Save The Last Dance to O to Mona Lisa Smile to The Prince And Me to The Omen. Now, after two increasingly prominent roles as CIA handler Nicholette Parsons in the enormously successful Bourne Identity and Bourne Supremacy, Stiles yet again gets a chance to really show her acting chops in the newest installment The Bourne Ultimatum. When we interviewed the actress, she spoke of how incredibly surprising the franchise’s success has been and how it has enabled her to get more of an opportunity to shine. “It was such a joy actually,” Julia enthuses, “I would never have anticipated that there were going to be three movies, when we started making the first one. And when we made the first one, I couldn’t even read a whole script because they only gave me the scenes I was in. But what’s been great about it is playing a character and having it evolve with me because we made this second one three years ago. And each time we come into rehearsals, we discuss what should happen next.” Once director Paul Greengrass, who has also done United 93 and Bloody Sunday, took over to direct the Bourne sequels, she said this enabled her to have more opportunity to really get to flesh out her initially limited role in the first film to a now much more expanded role in the latest entry. “When I went to make the second one, I had a conversation with Paul Greengrass about how you didn’t really know what my character was doing in the first one and we really wanted to figure out a way to exploit that or make that interesting and it evolved into this discussion about how Nicky was this quiet mouse in the corner that wasn’t sort of nondescript. And that could be really dangerous if it turned out she really had more information and she had been around since the beginning.” “And then, it was great to work with Paul again because I could take that idea even further with the third one,” she continues, “I remember telling him that I wanted to make him more active in this third one instead of being a victim of circumstance, like she was in Supremacy. We decided that it would be great if she decided that she wanted to get out of the CIA, because she went from being a believer in the first one to being more skeptical and also realizing she was more expendable and questioning these operations, so it was great to have her deal with wanting to get out.” We found over time that Stiles felt great pleasure to work ... |
