Emily Blunt Talks 'Wind Chill' Experience

[Friday, June 30th, 2006]
Emily BluntBritish actress Emily Blunt, star of the upcoming supernatural thriller film Wind Chill, says that braving the Canadian winter wasn't easy. "It's hard," told Sci-Fi Wire. "You talk about reaction acting, but it's much harder in a thriller, in a horror-thriller. After the first take you kind of have seen [the ghost or creature], and you have to just act it from then on. It's hard to do, actually. Harder than I thought. And it was so bloody cold, and that helped. We were four hours north of Vancouver in January, and it was 30 below. It was so cold, jaw-lockingly cold. You couldn't even say your lines."

Describing the film, she said, "There's a love story and tragedy in there as well. It's a character piece, and that's why I did it. Ashton Holmes is in it with me. Did you see History of Violence? He was the son. Yeah, he's fabulous and spookily good at what he does. I think it will be very good, and Steven Soderbergh and George Clooney produced it."
