I learned to really ration my food intake. Is there any key to surviving those outfits on a long day of shooting? Breathing exercises, perhaps? It really feels like a great historical action piece. It feels so real - and I was really blown away by that, because you sort of think, “Oh, this is really going to be campy or it's going to be some sort of comedy horror thing,” and it was so straightforward, it really makes the history buff in you excited. But the fact that Seth was involved in it was really exciting to me because when I read the book I was like, “This guy knows his stuff.” He knows what he's doing. Right, it is! And the script changed a lot, too, from the first incarnation of it. I'm only halfway through the book right now, and when I sat down to watch the movie, by 10 minutes in it was at the point where I am in the book. I read the script first and then the script worked so well that I was like, “Oh, my God, is the book as good as the script?” I needed that kind of, just a different kind of challenge.ĭid you read Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter before you took the role? I needed somebody to just throw me in the ring and let me loose.Īnd with a really intense subject, too - alcoholism and its very personal implications. I needed to not have a trailer, to not have a place to go take a nap in the middle of the day. Which Smashed was - that was what I needed. But you do get an itch to just feel a different energy, and something a little bit more fast-paced and a little more rough and tumble. There was nothing I could complain about at all on doing the film. Especially something like this, which is just a blast. Yeah, I think it's important - or at least, it's very important for me to kind of keep changing those kinds of things up, because big movies are so much fun, and you get a lot of perks with them, which is great. Do you feel like it's helpful to explore your range with independent films like this, between the Scott Pilgrims and the Abraham Lincolns? It's a really incredible, raw performance.

I'm so glad Sony picked it up so general audiences will be able to see you in the role. I saw you in Smashed at Sundance this year, and that performance really kicks you out of Ramona Flowers mode. But it still is rare - it's usually if somebody checks my ID or something at a restaurant, they'll be like, "Wait - I know that name!" But its still kind of hard for people … without the wig, it's hard for people to make the connection. But it's kinda fun now to see the audience grow and to see people sort of starting to make the connection between the character and me.
#VAMPIRE HUNTER DRESS UP GAMES ONLINE MOVIE#
Nobody really knew what the movie was or who I was or anything. People are starting to stop me more, but it never happened when the movie was first out, because it didn't do well, business-wise. No! So if I got that just for having a somewhat-reminiscent haircut and wearing Ramona-esque clothes, I can only imagine how often people stop you. That's hilarious! You didn't even have different-colored hair at the time? I told him this is how we dress in the galaxy of Brooklyn! Is Ramona the patron saint of hipsters or what?

I wasn't dressed up I was just wearing shorts with leggings under them. While I was working the convention last year, a guy in a Stormtrooper costume stopped me and told me he liked my Ramona Flowers cosplay. I have a funny Comic-Con story that you'll probably appreciate. I don't know, it feels like nothing is sacred now. And if those are fake, too, which they probably are … is Property Virgins fake, too? And even the International shows - those are my favorite. I always had a theory that it was maybe somewhat fake, but I didn't know that it was completely just made up. So is your world also shattered now that recent news has broken about it being faked? I know you, like me, are a huge fan of House Hunters.
