Planet Q&A:
Katherine Heigl - Valentine Victim
Katherine Heigl has one gripe against being in horror movies, but it has less to do
with being scared by them than everything you have to go through to scare the people
watching you. So the star of TV's Roswell wasn't all that bothered by her 15
minutes of mayhem in Valentine, and she told PlanetHollywood.com what all the fun
stuff was like. That included working with director Jamie Blanks, and a dream cast that
includes Angel hunk David Boreanaz.
Planet Hollywood: You look a lot better today than you did when we last saw you
a little mutilated in the movie.
Katherine Heigl: Thank you!
Planet Hollywood: Do you like seeing yourself in a horror movie like Valentine?
Katherine Heigl: I think so. I think its really well done. And I feel it
kind of hits on all the points its trying to make. It definitely scared the crap out
of me. So I think its going to do well. What was really fun was working with the
rest of the cast. We had a great time. It was just a fun, fun movie.
Planet Hollywood: What's the worst part of being a victim in a horror movie?
Katherine Heigl: Actually, the worst part for me wasn't having to be a victim,
but having to spend three hours putting on that prosthetic. They spent three hours putting
that thing on. The scene, though, was kind of disgusting, so they didnt show it
anyway. The studio, like, thought it was a bit much. And it was really gruesome.
Planet Hollywood: Was it okay with you that you weren't meant to last too long
in the movie?
Katherine Heigl: I had no problem with that. You could say that I had my fifteen
minutes.
Planet Hollywood: Were you disappointed that you didn't get one of the other
female parts?
Katherine Heigl: Not at all. Actually it worked out very well for me, because I
didnt have the time to do any bigger part. I was working on something else, so all I
had were the three days. It worked out very well.
But I think Valentine will do really well. It has a good story, a great cast,
and talented people behind it. All this really makes a successful movie. Plus the studio
is pushing to put it out there in the right way, and I think that will make the
difference.
Planet Hollywood: What did you think about your untimely fate in Valentine,
as opposed to, well, the untimely fates of the other females?
Katherine Heigl: I thought mine was a pretty neat death. Maybe there was too
much blood and scary stuff. So I'm not saying that's so great for the kids out there. We
really did milk it when we shot it. But it was too yucky, so they had to cut it some.
Planet Hollywood: What did they cut out?
Katherine Heigl: They thought there was like too much blood and stuff. |
