介绍:
If you expect the former governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to break out from the encirclement of undead with a machine gun in the zombie thriller "Maggie", you guessed it wrong.
"I liked the idea that it is kind of a surprise for most people, you know, everyone knows me for kicking ass on the screen and wiping out the enemy and all this, in here I'm totally helpless. I'm totally vulnerable. I cannot wipe out this disease, this zombie virus. I cannot bring my daughter back. She is deteriorating and she's on the way out, and how do I deal with that? With all this tremendous love I have for her and the tremendous love she has for me, and trying to protect me and others, it was an interesting story that I just thought would be, it's the right time to do something like this."
The action film star says it was the idea of playing against his stereotype that appealed to him.
"I think it's without a doubt the most human role that I've ever played. And it happens to be it's the most human kind of a zombie story, because usually we see the zombies walking around, you know, and people are killing them and mowing them down with machine guns. And here you have a zombie inside your family. What do you do with that? You love your child, so you can't go kill her, so that's what the dilemma is. I think it's a very human story, very intimate story, and it's something that people will be able to relate to, because it doesn't matter if it's a zombie virus or AIDS or Ebola, or if it's just having cancer and you see your child slowly passing away."
British actress Joely Richardson plays his wife in the movie.
"I think what was another beautiful thing about 'Maggie' the film is that the hair and makeup department really chart the course of someone turning very, very slowly, don't they? To me it's more interesting and more scary."
Also starring Abigail Breslin , "Maggie" opens in North American theaters on May 8.
