In a recent interview with
Eva Green Web, the beautiful and brilliant French actress Eva Green spoke about her two big upcoming comic book roles - Artemisia and Ava Lord. Artemisia is a badass military leader and Ava Lord, as anyone who has read Frank Miller's
A Dame To Kill For would know, is a seductive femme fatale who in the book is fully naked for most of the time. We will obviously not see that level of nudity replicated on screen, but some nude scenes are in order.
On
300: Rise Of An Empire:
As for the preparation, I trained four hours a day with a group of stunt men from L.A. for three months before we began shooting. And then I continued training and sword fighting while we were shooting, luckily just on weekends. I’m not the most coordinated person so it was like learning dance steps while swinging two huge swords….It was extremely liberating and empowering!

The nudity in
Sin City: A Dame To Kill For:
Ah, the nudity… Well, for the character her body is a weapon, a tool she uses to lure men to her, therefore it isn’t gratutious. Also I trusted Robert Rodriguez’s eye for the way he filmed all the scenes and knew that they would be done tastefully, artfully, and he would put me to my best advantage.
How was the experience on working with Josh Brolin:
Well for the green screen, it was pretty distabilizing as there’s nothing real around you, so the most important thing is to connect with the other actor, otherwise you’re lost… Josh Brolin was a wonderful partner, he really does have that "film noir" aura about him, hard boiled with a heart of gold.
