that this is actually her second pairing with the famed actress. “It was bizarre, Mia and I did a play together in New York where we played Mother and Daughter, and then two weeks later we were in Prague shooting a scene where she was trying to kill me! It was confusing to say the least.” It appears as if Mia Farrow has donned the role of Mother to Stiles off the stage as well. “I learned so much from watching her. She’s really mastered facial expressions. She has such an angelic, comforting demeanor and then at the drop of a hat she can give you a cold, devilish stare. It’s all fake but it’s so believable.”

While Stiles is eager to make a return to the stage, she’s resolved to waiting for the right play to come along, “When you do something for months and months, day in and day out, it’s got to be really good.” In the interim, she’s set her sights on literary adaptation, “I’m producing an adaptation of The Bell Jar, the Sylvia Plath novel. I found a writer to adapt it, she’s doing the first draft right now, Killer Films is going to produce it [and] I would like to play Esther Greenwood.” The adaptation is an appropriate undertaken, seeing as she recently graduated from Columbia University with a degree in English Literature. “Or how to be good at scrabble,” the intellectual beauty slyly muses. But as for right now, she’s just excited to see The Omen in theaters, “I’m really curious to see what audiences respond to. I know I was scared and riveted, which is odd because I knew what was going to happen but I got absorbed in the story.” It’s a safe bet to say that Stiles will not be the only audience member riveted to the screen when The Omen hits theaters worldwide on June 6th, 2006.
