Question: What appealed to 你 about the character of Carly?

Elisha Cuthbert: The character was most appealing at first because I was coming off of “The Girl 下一个 Door,” which sort of was a great first film for me, but I wanted to do something extremely different.

And when Joel brought me “House of Wax,” I thought this is perfect because the genre is different, the idea is different, and the character is nothing like Danielle in “The Girl 下一个 Door.” We kind of created Carly in the sense that she was a lot 更多 tomboyish, not so particularly pretty – but pretty in her own way -...

Q: Congratulations, 你 had a pretty big weekend last weekend. [He got married]

So lucky me, the first thing that happened when I got there, I walk...

Q: Good morning, Elisha. I think it's appropriate to say that 你 clean up nice. This shoot must have been grueling.

You not only go into the road kill pit, but the other things 你 go through. I think I went through the most…not prosthetics, but gore, blood, goo 你 know, everything. Green finger, the whole thing. We were strategically putting white dots on a green tip so we could digitally remove the finger. So it was like, don't touch the finger. Don't touch the finger. We have special dots on the finger.
