AZURA SKYE (Cheri)


Can you describe your role in this film?

It was wonderful! After they break out of jail, they just sort of walk into our house and I'm making out on the couch with my boyfriend. And they walk in, and we give them some pizza and they stay the night, and then we send them on their way.

Did you learn anything from working with Bruce Willis?

I think just behavorial-wise. He's such a huge movie star and it's so nice to see a huge movie star act like such a normal guy. He's very much a professional and a lovely human being.

And how was working with Billy Bob Thornton?

Billy Bob - I love. I've seen "Sling Blade" and I've got such incredible admiration and respect for his talent. He's such a wonderful person.

Was this a fun film to be involved in?

It was a blast to work on this film! I learned how much fun moviemaking can be, because it isn't always. But this movie wasn't stressful, it was all fun and I was sad when I had to leave at the end of the day.

What's next for you?

I just finished a movie called "Carolina," with Julia Stiles and Shirley MacLaine.

What's it about?

Julia Stiles plays the "Carolina" role, and I'm her younger sister. We've been raised by Shirley MacLaine who is this vulgar, white-trash grandmother who has raised us by taking us around to different bars to stock the cigarette machines. So you can imagine how we turned out - we're quite a family.



ANTHONY BURCH (Phil)


Your part looked like a lot of fun to play. Was it as much fun as it looked?

Yeah, it was really cool. Those guys were so menacing when they first came in. I mean, there I was, making out with my girlfriend (played by Azura Skye) and stuff, and I wasn't prepared for them, and down I go. And it was pretty much cool to film.

And how was working with Azura Skye, Billy Bob Thornton, and Bruce Willis?

It was the first time I'd worked with any of them, and it was really amazing.

Was it a bit intimidating working with Billy Bob Thornton and Bruce Willis?

Yeah, definitely, especially with the characters they play. They're such bad dudes, you don't know if they're going to hurt you or take you hostage for real (laughing). I guess technically their characters took us hostage, but it wasn't anything where our characters were in danger. Those guys are both so cool. They were both so into character, that they could basically throw away the script and still be great.

What's up next for you?

Don't really know yet. Just going to the Premiere and hoping this movie does well.
