Press Junket: Eurotrip
Chud.com - Interview with Michelle Trachtenberg (via Dark Horizons)
He's a man after my own heart - the kind who would put a starved dingo and
a two-year-old bathed in meat sauce in a sandbox and see what fun ensues.
Yes he's CHUD boy Smilin' Jack Ruby and this week he talked with former
"Buffy" sister Michelle Trachtenberg whose bikini-clad cleavage is a big
selling point for Dreamworks latest comedy in the old "Porkys" vein.
Since her show has ended, the girl has lined up some pretty impressive
projects in her future - most notably a new film from edgy but always
creative director Gregg Araki ("Doom Generation", "Splendor"), a light
Disney romance, an indie project:
"Ice Princess"
"I'm in ice skating training for my next movie. I'm in three months of
training, I skate five days a week and on top of that,Six Feet Under had
me doing choreography practice, so I was doing that for four hours a day.
But it's called Disney's Ice Princess and I am the "ice princess." It's a
story of a girl who has always dreamed of being a figure skater, but her
family is very studious and very intent on getting her into Harvard. So,
she devises a plan through her knowledge of physics and talks to the three
big figure skaters in her town and says, 'Okay, I'll teach you about
physics and how to be a better skater through physics if you let me work
with your coach and choreographer.' I get the chance to be a wonderful
skater and there's a love story involved. I'm doing a lot of my own
skating, but the triple axles, I'm obviously not going to be required to
do, because that takes years of training"
"Mysterious Skin"
"After Eurotrip, I took a week off, flew back to L.A. and I went into
Gregg Araki's Mysterious Skin, which is a very dark movie. I'm incredibly
proud of this movie. It's based on a true story about two boys who were
sexually molested when they were younger - based on a book, actually,
about a true story.
One of the boys is played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt who is basically a
homosexual who really goes out and whores himself out. He sells himself.
The other boy is played by Brady Corbet, who is confused and thinks he was
abducted by aliens. I play his best friend. He's the only person he's able
to confide in and really I help his character discover the importance of
embracing and understanding what happened to him when he was younger and
how these two boys deal with it"
"Odd Girl Out"
"It's another independent movie I'm doing with Bijou Phillips about two
girls in a private school and one is the rebellious wild child and one is
the perfect bitch. I'm the perfect bitch. I'm the queen of the private
school and it's a dark, little rivalry that we have. Of course, there's
much more emotional problems involved. It's an independent movie, so come
on!"
"Buffy: The Movie"
Could it happen? "You know, never say never. Right now, I'm more focused
on new aspects of my career. I'm not really wanting to go back and repeat
characters because I think that's just not as exciting"
