![]() TS: When was TEN MINUTES TO MIDNIGHT filmed?ĬW: It was filmed about a year and a half ago. TS: Do you live in Texas still or are you in LA now? Horror is action-adventure by definition. It’s one of those things that I love about horror. TS: Were there some physical challenges making this movie TEN MINUTES TO MIDNIGHT?ĬW: It has a lot of physical action. Iused to hang out at the Whiskey and the Viper room. I traveled through everything from the Bee Gees through 90s music like Chemical Romance and there are contemporary artists today that I like and I know. When I was a kid, the Beatles were a big thing and the Beach boys and Paul Revere and the Raiders. Is that your kind of music?ĬW: I have a broad range of musical styles that I love. I’ve been around for a long time. I think it’s really outstanding. The action moves so quickly in the film that she just doesn’t have any music to play. I hope they put out a soundtrack CD for the film. There’s music by Wednesday the 13 th and Bury Your Dead, and other great artists. It’s just that the action moves so quickly in the film and there is a lot of great music in the film. TS: Tell me a little bit more about your character Amy. I got to have the lead role and I was on screen nearly the entire. An opportunity like this just had not been there recently, to be able to live the life of a character in one film. The screenplay played to every strength that I believe I have as an actress, but it also played every single challenge that I have wanted to take on. Erik sent me the script and we had a chance to chat and I was on board immediately. She told Erik she thought the script read like it was written for Caroline Williams and that he should approach me. Barbara was offered the role but she was going off to film CASTLE FREAK in Europe and was unable to do the film. I’ve only been out on my own, with my kids grown, for the last four years. That’s given me the freedom to concentrate on moving forward. She got herself re-established in the movie YOU’RE NEXT a while ago and she’s really been going from strength to strength for a very long time now. She has been a wife and mother for a long time as have I. Did you have to audition?ĬW: Well that’s a great story, which you will love, and it’s about women in business in a way as well. This role of Amy was first offered to Barbara Crampton. TS: How do you get cast in this? It seems written for you. It takes on a lot of subjects that generally I think a lot of filmmakers think may be too serious to address in a horror film, but director Erik Bloomquist and his brother and co-writer Carson Bloomquist were completely unafraid to take that on and we got a really unusual movie because of it. It’s a movie that makes you think.ĬW: It’s very unpredictable and it takes you in directions that other horror film don’t traditionally take you in. I think it’s smarter and more sophisticated and I think it addresses a lot about the nature of time, and the nature of looking at our lives retrospectively. There’s really a lot more depth to TEN MINUTES TO MIDNIGHT then you might notice at first glance. TS: And of course Amy is looking at involuntary retirement from her lifelong career. ![]() Stretch wanted to get out of head-banging music and do something real and all Amy wants is to play head-banging music. TS: It was. And there are parallels between these two characters, Amy from your new film and of course Stretch.ĬW: The parallel is that they were both DJs, but the differences are extremely broad. It was interesting watching those two back-to-back.ĬW: And good that you watched it with a woman because there is a woman perspective in those movies movie and that’s always interesting. I watched it the other night with my girlfriend and then I showed her THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE Pt. TS: Let’s talk about your new movie TEN MINUTES TO MIDNIGHT. That’s wonderful! That’s some long-lasting lipstick. Your lipstick marks are still on itĬaroline Williams: Wow. I still have my THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE Pt.
