Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters gaat schijnbaar in Amerikaanse bioscopen draaien en onze eigen Famke Janssen mocht in een hotel in Beverly Hills opdraven om daar een interview te geven aan de website Shock Till You Drop. Want Famke is nog altijd zeer geliefd aan de overkant van de oceaan.

Update: nieuwe trailer toegevoegd.






Shock: You're not afraid of genre roles...

Janssen: No, the thing is is everyone gets typecast. It's part of the game. You walk into a room and 99% you bring as a package is how you're going to be cast. The 1% of you can go against that and fight against type. But I've learned early on that clearly people saw me as this alien, exotic, weirdo breed and I could fight against it or pay my rent or mortgage off. And then I could go and fight for the roles in independent films that I want to play that no one in the studios wanted to cast me as, so that's what I've done. Over the last 20 years I've gone back and forth playing various roles in independent films, but the problem is is that the general public is not going to see those small films. They'll think, 'Right, she always plays the villain.' What's interesting about my career is that it has been so diverse in playing a little pool hustler in Turn the River or working with Woody Allen in Celebrity or Robert Altman. It crosses the board, but it's not ultimately what you're remembered for or how people see you. I'm almost six feet tall [laugh] and shrinking hopefully and I have a specific look - I may as well go with it.
