Whereas most stars will act coy and barely speak about future or current projects they're involved in til press time, a few are more than happy to speak and it certainly makes our jobs a lot easier. Whilst out promoting "Home on the Range", husky voiced bombshell Jennifer Tilly was more than happy to speak about "Seed of Chucky", the new "Child's Play" movie in which she stars to About.Com:
"I'm doing the sequel to Bride of Chucky, Seed of Chucky and I play a doll. That was my first experience with voiceover and Brad Dourif and I were in a room and he's a great actor. We were facing each other and they rigged it up that we could talk at the same time, so we did a lot of overlapping and ad libbing and there's a scene where the Tiffany doll dies and we're both staring at each other with tears streaming down our cheeks. I don't know if we really needed to act that hard for that movie, but we did. Years later, we went back and did the voices for the sequel, and I found that I was bothered by having another actor in the room. I was like, "I wish Brad would quit talking so I could do my lines" because you develop a technique. You get on a role, you do the role eight, nine, 10 times and you just do it until you're happy which is very liberating and really fun".
Now you're going to play yourself, Jennifer Tilly? Yeah, it's a very silly script. I play the doll, the little homicidal doll, and then I also play myself, Jennifer Tilly international star of film.
What is it like to work with doll with your voice? Actually, I recorded the Tiffany voice and it's fun because I have a lot of input so I say derogatory things about myself. There's actually a scene where I'm on the phone, where Jennifer's on the phone and Tiffany's on the phone pretending to be me and Tiffany keeps piping in and saying things. And I think that my assistant is making fun of me, so I say, 'Stop it' and she says, 'Stop what?' and I say, 'Stop imitating me. I don't sound like that' and then Tiffany says, 'Yes, you do.' So it's really confusing.
And this is about the production of the last film? Yeah, then it takes off from there. I get artificially impregnated with Chucky's seed. Billy Boyd plays the voice of the son and John Waters plays a pervy paparazzi and somebody named Redman plays a director. He plays a director of this biblical epic. Redman the rapper, yeah. He says it just came to him. God told him to make a movie about the bible. So I'm auditioning to be the virgin Mary in the biblical epic.
Why did it take so long to get this going? It's funny because Don [Mancini]'s been trying to get this script off the ground for years and years and years, and finally Universal created - - it's called Rogue films. You know they have different banners? Well, they had Focus film and we were going to be a Focus film but then I guess they thought it would be bad for Focus Films because that's for classy indie fare. So they created an offshoot of Focus Films called Rogue films which was for movies they're too embarrassed to release under the Focus banner. So we're the very first Rogue film. I'm so happy. This is actually the original script that he wrote, because they were trying to make him change a lot of things. It's going to be really funny. And he's got a really great cinematographer and editor. Pino Donaggio is doing the soundtrack.
Would you do a third Chucky? I think so. Actually the end of the movie, I'm still Jennifer Tilly, am still alive in some form. Don's probably going to kill me because I think I'm probably giving away too much. I don't even know if I'm supposed to say I get artificially inseminated by the Chucky doll.
