Kristen Bell Talks Pulse Remake
Now Playing Magazine scored an interview with Kristen Bell, the VERONICA MARS star whos also toplining Dimensions remake of Kiyoshi Kurosawas PULSE. To be directed by Jim Sonzero and released through the Weinstein brothers new company March 3, 2006, the film features Bell as one of several characters plagued by a supernatural malignance that enters our world through an Internet website. Its a very difficult project to describe, Bell, seen here in David Mamets SPARTAN, tells the mag. Its based a lot on loneliness. I was really taken by it when I had lunch with [Sonzero] and he explained to me the loneliness of this character. Shes just very stoic and frightened at the same time. I loved the idea. I never really played a punky person before; Veronica isnt really punk, shes just moreshe has her own thing going on. I liked the way he spoke about it and the ideas he had. Thats why I joined up.
Bell goes on to say that she has seen Kurosawas original, and found it very, very scary. I tend to like horror movies that have much more of an unknown feeling, because I think thats the scariest thing possible. [Its] the old thing Alfred Hitchcock used to say, Show them less, and theyll be more frightened. What you dont show is the scariest thing and I think that goes for ideas as well. THE BIRDSno one knew why the birds were coming, no one knows why they were trying to kill everyone, and at the end, you dont know whether its infected the whole world, or just that city. And I think thats the most frightening part [of that film], and thats what I liked about PULSE. The evil in PULSE is an unknown.
