![]() ![]() “ That’s what we were mildly going for“, said the too-cool-for-school Burke, intermittently drawing on a cigarette held between his long fingers and speaking in an oily voice that gave one the impression he’d gone all Method for the cult-leader character. For those of you who only know him as the square dad from Twilight, Burke’s oily, clean-shaven, glammed up appearance here was, shall we say, 180 degrees out from the role that has made him famous with an army of screaming tween girls. Slinking up next was Billy Burke, dressed in a burgundy open-collared shirt, the aforementioned black leather pants, and long manicured nails the actor grew out specifically to play his evil character. “ Because, after a few minutes of getting to know these characters in the film and them getting to know one another and knowing Milton’s back-story – which, you know, is the most important element of the film – after all that comes into play, then you know why Piper does what she does.” “ I think the motivation becomes clear in the movie, but I don’t want to give it away“, teased Heard. Like Cage and Fichtner’s characters, there’s a seemingly mysterious element to Piper in that we aren’t exactly sure what her true agenda is until later in the film. We have a lot of gunfights and things fall on me. I fall from the trailer onto the hood of the Charger. Surprisingly, they’ve let me do quite a bit of stuff on this. They’ve been letting me do a lot of them. ![]() “ I have a lot of fight scenes“, she said. Needless to say, the ass-kicking Piper – who Cage’s character first encounters as she’s teaching her chauvinist boss at the diner a very painful lesson – isn’t your typical passive female action-movie character, meaning Heard got to engage in all manner of physical mayhem during the shoot. Milton sees her – the guy who’s played by Nic Cage – and they become fast friends and form a bond and partake on this kind of supernatural evil-fighting journey together and kind of become teammates.“ She’s got a lot of spirit and a lot of spunk. She’s this bad-mouthed, chain-smoking kind of vigilante of the movie“, said the actress, dressed in a black jacket, boots and tight-fitting jeans. Her charms were lost on me for obvious reasons, but by the end of the short interview I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t seen at least one of my fellow reporters drooling slightly at the sight of her flowing blonde locks, flawless features, and coy, Crest-white smile. All that was missing, really, was a giant wind machine and some sexy lingerie and she’d be all set. Truth be told, I felt like I’d just wandered onto the set of a Whitesnake video as we were chatting it up with the actress, who played up her considerable sex appeal in fully transparent, over-the-top fashion as she batted her eyes at the assembled (all-male) group of journalists and tossed her hair around like she was at a photo shoot for Maxim magazine. Following that short conversation, our group was brought out to an ant-riddled picnic bench near the Hirsch Memorial Stadium (the inside of which had been used to film several interior scenes) across the street to talk with living Barbie doll Amber Heard, best known to horror fans for starring in the never-released-Stateside All the Boys Love Mandy Lane, 2009’s lame PG-13 reboot of The Stepfather, and a small, attention-grabbing role in last year’s Zombieland. ![]() “justify“>When we last left off, I had just finished chatting it up with actor William Fichtner, who stars in the film as “ The Accountant“, an agent from Hell tailing Nicolas Cage’s Milton, a man called up from the fiery depths to track a group of Satanists across the country who have kidnapped his granddaughter. ![]()
