Interview with Jessica Biel from the World Premiere of "Stealth"

106 9


Jessica Biel is basically the only female in the action thriller, ?Stealth,? directed by Rob Cohen and co-starring Academy Award-winner Jamie Foxx and Josh Lucas. Sure there are a few other hotties sprinkled in in very minor supporting roles, but as the sole female star of ?Stealth,? Biel shows she knows how to kick butt equally as well as her male co-stars.
Jessica Biel was all smiles at the World Premiere of ?Stealth.? Looking gorgeous after changing out of the military jumpsuits the cast and director wore when they arrived at the premiere, Biel joined her ?Stealth? co-stars and director for a stroll down the red carpet, which was set up on the tarmac at Naval Air Station North Island in Coronado, CA.

Prior to taking in a special screening of the film, Biel spoke to me about why she chose to be a part of "Stealth:"

INTERVIEW WITH JESSICA BIEL:

What was the atmosphere like working on a predominately male set? Were there many females around to hang out with?
?There wasn?t many. There was a handful of great girls that I met on the set, but you know hanging with the boys wasn?t so bad. They?re alright (laughing).?

How?d you spend your downtime? Did you three do anything special to bond?
?You know, we just hung out and had barbeques at each other?s houses and went to the beach. Just did normal stuff to get to know each other really.?

?Stealth? is an action movie that asks an interesting moral question. What do you think of the idea of machines replacing humans?
?I think it?s a dangerous idea but it is probably our future, so we?ll see.?

How does ?Stealth? separate itself from the action movie pack?
?Well I think you said it right there. It?s kind of got interesting moral questions that we?re asking.

It?s not just you know, blow ?em up, shoot ?em up, go war. It?s not that at all. We?re giving two sides ? pros of UCAVs and cons ? what do you guys think. That?s what we?re asking. And there?s a love story thrown in there and a lot of great explosions and Jamie Foxx so?

How would you describe your character in ?Stealth??
?My character?s name is Kara Wade and she is one of the most elite pilots in the whole world. She?s incredibly smart. She?s incredibly strong ? physically and mentally. And she can hang with the boys. She?s a kick-ass [women].?

As the sole female, was your character ever the butt of the jokes?
?Sometimes. But, you know, that?s the good thing about my character. She doesn?t stand for that crap. If she gets a joke played on her, she?s going to give it right back to them.?

Does her attitude reflect yours?
?Definitely.?

Was her strength what attracted you to the part?
?I think definitely because of how strong of a female character she was, and I think she?s a good role model for younger kids.

I like physical roles; I like the physicality of this. I like running around and getting covered in mud and jumping in water. That?s what I like so that was another plus. And then to work with Rob and Jamie and Josh. All the elements come together and if they come together right, then you want to jump onto something and that?s what happened with this.?

Director Rob Cohen?s done a few action films - "Fast and the Furious" and "XXX" - before this one. How was he to work with?
?He was fantastic. He is such a fanatic about this film and he?s so energetic and excited about it. It was great to come to work everyday. It was lovely, it was wonderful.?

And working with Jamie Foxx?
?Well, the movie was so fun and so challenging and working with Jamie was a blast. He?s fun and talented and professional, and you cannot ask for anything more than that.?
