ET sat down with the dishy David
Boreanaz to discuss his upcoming psychological thriller about Valentine's
Day revenge! Entertainment
Tonight: David, we are sitting in a cemetery. This is great for this
interview because don't bad things happen in this movie? David
Boreanaz: Here and there. This is the type of film that is going to
keep audiences guessing. You never know what is going to happen.
I like to describe it as a psychological thriller. That is a nicer way
of saying it than it is a horror film. It has all the elements.
The director, Jamie Blanks, is just phenomenal. He adds a nice
"Hitchcock" twist. The way he shoots and sets up his
angle. It has been very exciting to work with him. ET:
Let's not make light of a horror film because they are very popular.
We have Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer and now Scary
Movie. They are all breaking box-office records. What do you
think is behind all of this? David:
We all just do our work and hope for the best. That is all we can
do. You have to bring something different to the table. I think
Jamie is doing that. He has brought something unique and different
with this story. It is definitely an older genre kind of
picture. It is not a teenage slasher film. It focuses on
individuals that have come together later on in their lives. They are
struggling to make amends with what is going on in the city of San
Francisco. Because of that, it adds a lot of mystery and challenge to
each character. ET:
Would you prefer not to be linked with those movies? David:
No, not necessarily linked. What interested me about this film was
that the story had a more intelligent take on it rather than just a slasher
film. ET:
Although, we do love to be frighten [sic]. David:
Yes, and Jamie pushes it to a level where it is unpredictable. It is
scary! It is going to be a lot [of] fun. ET:
Could anyone be the killer? Could you be the killer? David:
Anyone could be. I know I am not the killer. My character has
evolved since I got here. It is different than what I expected it to
be. I showed up with my work like Jamie had told me to do and then,
all of [a] sudden everything was unpredictable. We don't have a full
script. We work with pages. I think we are up to our ninth or
tenth script and it is never full. We have the foundation down, but
everything else changes everyday. I don't know what is going to
happen! ET:
So, you don't know who the killer is? David:
No, I don't. That is what is interesting about how Jamie shoots.
That is what was appealing about this story and film. It keeps me
guessing, as well. ET:
That is interesting. David:
Yes, it is interesting, but it is also stressful at times. One scene
at a time is as slow as you can go. ET:
Do you think Jamie knows who the killer is? David:
I don't know. We should ask him and get to the bottom of this.
What are we doing here in this graveyard? ET:
Why are we here? David:
We are here mourning. Someone has passed away. It is very early
on in the story. I am here for support. ET:
Has someone passed away in a yucky way? David:
It was pretty yucky, but they haven't shot that yet. I don't know how
that person dies either or who did it! ET:
Do you anything about this movie? David:
I do know some bits and pieces. I didn't sign onto something I didn't
know anything about. I do know about the character. We are not
allowed in the inside. That is how the director wants to shot it. ET:
That must be really odd for you. Most of [the] time you are able to
read the whole script. Is that a challenge? David:
Yes it is a challenge. You show up, and you don't know what is going
to happen. It makes it exciting and spontaneous. ET:
What can you tell us about the story? David:
It takes place in San Francisco. A bunch of friends are getting
together. Someone is taking revenge on someone from the past.
Throughout the story, these friends get together. There are give
females and myself, one of which I am attracted to. That is Marley
Shelton's character Kate, who is very attractive. There is a lot of
romance in the film. I am the one who tells the story. My
character is a sports writer, which is fun. There are also some funny
and witty lines in the script that I am enjoying a lot. ET:
Tell me a little more about your character. David:
He likes to drink. I think the drinking has kept him away from his
relationship with Kate. I think this is also going to be a saving
grace at the end. There will be a strong union at the end. ET:
Can you imagine being in a situation like this, where someone is stalking
you? David: I have been
stalked for about a week now. It is not good. I don't like
it. We were shooting last week and I was being stalked. I had to
look over my shoulder. There were people around corners. It
really scared me. It is spooky! ET:
You are surrounded by beautiful women in this. David:
It is fantastic. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Marley,
Jessica Capshaw, Jessica Cauffiel, and now Denise Richards. It has
been quite an interesting mix of people. They are all talented.
They all give. It is a blessing. We have [a] crew that is
together on this, a wonderful director and a studio that has allowed us the
freedom to explore. It has been fun! Back
