Watch the trailer of the movie Black Eve on FERNTV
Screaming your way to success may not be the easiest thing to do but it certainly has its perks. Veronika London who is otherwise known as the Megan Fox of Hollywood may be getting a another respectable title to her career. Many actresses such as Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Jamie-Lee Curtis and Neve Campbell were all known for their vibrant and unforgettable screams which set the stage for their astounding careers. Landing on the same template, Veronika London is adding another dimension to her acting career by being among the class of scream queens. This title definitely gives back to the community of followers of the scream queen cult. She will soon appear in the movies “The Elusive Man” and “Black Eve” and you can count her screams to be as cringing as nails scratching on a chalkboard. This is why she has surpassed the best of them and FERNTV has to catch up with the newly crowned queen. Question? Has there ever been a Spanish Scream Queen before?
FERNTV: What is it like to be called the "Megan Fox" of Hollywood North?
Veronika: I don't think about titles. I actually think it's kind of silly and still trying to figure out what that title means. Ultimately apart from being a "sex-pot" which I have been categorized under, I think talent and giving back is what will give artists longevity and credibility- which I strive for.
FERNTV: Stars like Neve Campbell, Jamie Lee Curtis, Kathy Bates and Sissy Spacek became huge stars after performing in some of the best horrors film...do you feel that horror movies are always a good start to someone's acting career even today?
Veronika: I'm very new to this horror genre, I usually stick to more dramatic reckless roles like "Jane Doe" were I play a prostitute/heroin addict. I kinda just landed in these horror film roles by coincidence, the opportunities came up and I ran with them. Although, I remember last year when I shot the trailer for Naked Fury, one of my first horror gigs with director Ingrid Johanson, I was kinda turned off with this genre after shooting a scene and getting the blood pumped up my nose (it slipped out of my mouth) when i was biting off drenched bloody pieces of meat off the actors neck ...lol...yup the glamorous life of an actress :) ....Although times have changed- and I've grown to love being a bloody scream queen. Ultimately I don't think their is a specific way to start an actors career or even a map follow. You just have to take advantage of opportunities that come up and exploit them yourself to the max.
FERNTV: Can you explain how it was like to work with "Black Eve" director Ryan Andrews?
Veronika: He was so amazing. I really like when directors let actors own their character and let them make their own choices with how they want to play a character and control the scene. I find that's when I have the most fun on set. Ryan stepped in when mannerisms needed to get tweaked or get a greater performance from the actors- I was happy he wasn't like Hitler or anything on set.
FERNTV: You play a pregnant nun in Black Eve...what is like to play a character that is somewhat of a oxymoron?
Veronika: So much fun, I love playing careless controversial character that doesn’t give a sh*t, which was like the nun. I did find it interesting though that my role was brought on to add a big part of the movies sexual chemistry even though it seemed like I was wearing more clothes than than the other actresses.
FERNTV: You were featured in Fangoria for Black Eve, how did that feel?
Veronika: It was awesome to see my pic on the site. I can't wait to actually score cover on that magazine one day!
FERNTV: What was your first horror type role?
Veronika: It was for a short called “Stripped” with director Mike Klassen. It was a fun role- I got to kick some butt in it which is always fun. The end of the result was like a Quentin Tarantino grindhouse movie.
FERNTV: Does the combination of horror/gore and comedy in the movie "Elusive Man" make it similar to that of the cult classic like "Shaun of the Dead" or a lot more like "Reservoir Dogs"
Veronika: Definitely more like "Reservoir Dogs". There are only split second scenes where the film adds humour to break all the gore.
FERNTV: How were you approached for both of the movie “The Elusive Man”?
Veronika: I auditioned for the Elusive Man. My role of head mobster was initially supposed to be for a male/small person. After auditioning for the female gold-digger role, I apparently played the role too demanding and strong so they asked me to read for the male. The producers/directors liked how I read the material and decided to change the male role to female and change the dialogue to Spanish since I'm Spanish.
FERNTV: What did it feel like to act in Spanish?
Veronika: It felt great. Up until this point it never occurred to me how I could use my native language to my advantage in this industry - it seems to be a commodity right now as their aren't many young Spanish actress in the public eye.
FERNTV: What's in store for you in the near future and what do you think you will be dressing up as for Halloween?
Veronika: I'll be collaborating with Ryan again from Black Eve for another feature and Paul Roberts to potentially shoot “Burning Amber”. In addition I might be working this fall with upcoming Canadian film director Philip Carrer (If a Tree falls- premiering at Fantasia 2010) and Canadian rising actors Ryan Barret and Emily Alatalo in a psychological horror/thriller. I'll also be hosting the Toronto Scream Fest 2010 this Fall. I'm kinda just falling into these horror type roles right now but I'll be sure to give them great reckless controversial depth and be in your face because that's what I'm good at. As for Halloween I think this year I will dress up as something pretty like a mermaid year round make up artist just seem to make me look distorted, bloody or like drug addict.
