Actress on the upcoming bizarre film
Our brother site, ComingSoon.net, sat down with actress Juno Temple, who will be seen this month in The Three Musketeers and stars in next summer’s The Dark Knight Rises.
She told the site that she recently finished a film called The Brass Teapot from director Ramaa Mosley. The film is based on a script by Tim Macy who, in turn, adapted his short story. More psychological mindf**k than straight horror, it certainly has our attention. Here’s what Temple had to say…
CS: Can you talk about what’s next for you? Have you finished shooting “The Dark Knight Rises”?
Temple: Yeah, I finished “Dark Knight.” I also just finished shooting an independent in upstate New York called “The Brass Teapot.” It’s about a young married couple which is me and my husband, played by an actor named Mike Angarano. We’re kind of in a sh–y situation. We have nothing going for us and have no money. We’re in love, though. But I’m very annoyed, as my character, that I haven’t made something of myself yet. Then one day, I find this magical brass teapot that, when you inflict pain, it spits out money. So she gets crazy!
CS: Pain on yourself or on the teapot?
Temple: Pain on other people! It get quite crazy. I like scripts with a moral and that’s a great message to send that money doesn’t make you happy. It really doesn’t. That’s what that script is about and it was great fun to shoot. I go from being very, very poor to very, very rich and some of the costumes are very cool. Now I’ve got a couple of projects that I’m attached to and hopefully will get their money and there’s always auditioning. But it’s nice to have a little bit of downtime. I haven’t had downtime in a year and a half.
