Up and coming actress Christa Campbell was nice enough to do an exclusive one-on-one interview to help promote her upcoming films Death By Engagement and 2001 Maniacs, and within the madness we came across some really juicy info on Warner Bros. remake The Wicker Man, which also stars Nicolas Cage, Ellen Burstyn, LeeLee Sobieski, Molly Parker. Read on for the skinny and watch for the full interview with this gorgeous phenom next week!
Here's a snippet from Elaine Lamkin's interview with Christa Campbell:
BD: You have six movies due out this year including the TV movie, “Deadly Water”, directed by your “Mansquito” director, Tibor Takacs, and “The Wicker Man” with Nicolas Cage, Leelee Sobieski and Ellen Burstyn. What can you tell us about these two movies, particularly “The Wicker Man”? And have you seen the original “The Wicker Man” with Christopher Lee, Edward Woodward, Britt Ekland and Ingrid Pitt?
CC: Of course I’ve seen the original “The Wicker Man”! I own it! I love it! It was very erotic, I thought. The remake is different in some ways - the island is all women, scary women! This will be a huge release, apparently it’s very scary! And Nic is always amazing, the rest is hush- hush. Deadly water - geez I was thrown off a boat in Vancouver, at 3 am in the freezing, pouring-down rain and had to drown. Oh, by the way, you can only be in there for a few seconds or your body will freeze over! Did I mention I can barely swim? Oh yeah, I didn’t tell the producers that. They said you’re going into the water and I replied yeah!! Let’s do it! And I’m scared sh*tless! But it all worked out in the end.
BD: Would you give us a brief description of what this version of “The Wicker Man” is about? And what your character Donna does in the film?
CC: I’m in the opening scenes of the movie with Nic, before he goes to the island, before…things happen! Oh, I just can’t tell!
BD: That must have been quite exciting, working with Nicolas Cage and Ellen Burstyn, both Oscar winners. What kind of experiences did you have while filming “The Wicker Man”?
CC: My experience was wow! Am I glad to be here, just try not to get myself fired!
In a remake of the 1973 British horror thriller of the same name, Nicolas Cage plays a reclusive sheriff who goes to search for his astranged daughter after she mysteriously disappears on a secluded island. When he arrives, he senses something more is amiss among the island's secretive residents as he starts to uncover a mystery involving strange sexual rituals, a harvest festival and possible human sacrifice.
