Happy Birthday Kimberly! Did you make any
birthday wishes this year?
Thanks! -To drink
champagne all night and avoid the hangover! I got
half my wish. :)
Kimberly, why
don't you start us off with a visual and describe
the place where you are answered these questions?
Actually,
I'm getting ready for my annual church visit in
my hometown of New Albany, IN. Christmas Eve mass
with mom... I do like to multi-task!
Let's
talk about the Michael J. Hein/R. Zoe Judd movie 'Devil's
Grove'. How did you get cast as
the lead character Katie Kyle?
The
writer of the script, Rick Amburgey, sent me a
message via Myspace about the auditions. I guess
he did a local actor search? I almost didn't go
since auditions were two hours from where I lived
at the time, but I'm very glad I gave it a second
thought!
What attracted
you to the role of Katie?
I liked
that she is genuine and sincere. She's a good
girl at heart, but has a bad reputation. She
struggles to find her identity, which to me, made
her character realistic and easy for anyone to
relate to.
Give me a
little teaser about 'Devil's
Grove' that is going to make it
irresistible to all the racksandrazors readers.
Devil's
Grove is the ultimate indie torture movie! When a
group of teens set out to record a documentary
film about mass murders at a local amusement
park, they soon learn that certain things should
be left alone. I take pride in saying we kill a
child, have one of the best castration scenes
ever filmed, girl-on-girl action, and much, much
more. We go there!
What are your
favorite and least favorite amusement park rides?
I love
roller coasters! The more bad ass, the better!
I'm not a huge fan of the Ferris Wheel or that
swinging pirate ship ride.
I also want to
hear about your experiences in a couple very high
profile films you've made recently. First off,
you play Happy Hour in Steven Soderbergh's 'The
Girlfriend Experience'. Tell me
about that experience.
It was
awesome! I had a very short four hour shoot day
which was nice. Soderbergh was very professional
and knew what he wanted so we were in and out of
there fast. We were filming a scene at a bar
which was not scripted and all improv. Needless
to say, the scene became very interesting!
I also want to hear
about your role as a club dancer in Jon Avent's 'Righteous
Kill' with Al Pacino, Robert
DeNiro, and 50 Cent. And tales from the stage
about that threesome or the experience you would
care to share?
Now this
was a loooong day! It was great working with all
three of them. 50 Cent was very polite and
professional unlike his hard rapper reputation.
DeNiro was more concentrated and kept to himself.
I probably talked to Pacino the most. He kept the
atmosphere light and was very welcoming to his
fans. He was also much shorter than I had
previously thought.
Do you have
any other upcoming projects you want the
racksandrazors readers to know about?
I am now
working regularly on the TV. show "Rescue
Me" and just completed a commercial for
Gold's Gym. I also just wrapped on the horror
flick, "Elvis Saint Psycho".
Vampires,
werewolves, zombies, witches, creatures, aliens,
telemarketers...what does it for you horrorwise
Kimberly and why?
Ghosts
and demonic spirits get me every time. The
Catholic schooling must have scared Satan out of
me. Not to mention, how do you defeat a ghost?!
What was the
first movie to scare the shit out of you?
"The
Exorcist" terrified me! I was ten years old
and in my first play. The entire cast kept
telling me how like much I looked Linda Blair. So
I had to rent the movie, right?! I don't think I
slept well for an entire month.
Okay,
we're pulling into the Kimberly Magness Drive In.
What three horror flicks are on the triple bill
for tonight and what goodies are they going to be
serving up at the concession stand?
"The
Exorcist" (for the reasons fore mentioned),
"Maniac" (It's classic, twisted, and
realistic), and "The Ruins" (just
because it's gory, a little out there, and not
your clich'e horror movie). The concessions would
have Caesar salads and a full bar.
What is your
dream horror movie role?
I would
love to get bloody and/or tortured! I have also
always wanted to be a zombie. Something that
requires lots of makeup and blood. I like to get
down and dirty! However, I would also love to
play the killer. I have a psycho side of me that
no one has got to see yet.
What's the
best Halloween costume you ever had?
This is a
tough one! I never dress as anything scary. It's
the one time of year you can dress like a skank
and get away with it. I take full advantage of
this. I usually do rock stars; Madonna, Britney,
Amy Winehouse, and from this past Halloween, Lady
Gaga (which was pretty amazing, I must say)!
What scares
you in real life?
Needles!
I have to be prescribed a valium for any doctor's
appointment involving shots or it's light's out
for me!
