Can Julia Roberts hide her trademark smile long enough to play the Evil Queen in “The Brothers Grimm: Snow White”? Co-star Lily Collins told Access Hollywood that Julia brings all of her charm to their big screen fairytale, making it especially “creepy.”
“She’s playing evil in a way that I don’t think people are going to expect,” the 22-year-old actress, who is playing Snow White alongside Julia, told Access at the premiere of “Abduction” on Thursday in Los Angeles.
“Everyone loves that Julia smile and laugh and she maintains that, but in such this creepy eerie way that you don’t know if you love her or hate her,” she continued. “She’s brilliant and it’s been an honor. She’s so nice, she’s so classy, she’s just everything I had hoped she’d be.”
Lily told Access that making the fairytale movie has been hard work, but a dream.
“I flew in this morning, I fly back out tonight, I’m working tomorrow morning,” she explained. “It’s been the most incredible experience. I feel like I’m literally in a fairy tale every day. And I finish in about a week and a half, so I’m almost done.”
As for “Abduction,” her latest film with Taylor Lautner, Lily loved working with one of Hollywood’s hottest big screen teens.
“It was amazing. He’s such a gentleman and he’s so passionate about the work,” she said of “The Twilight Saga” star. “And I’m really proud of what we made, and I’m really proud for people to see him in a role that he hasn’t shown before and a side that they haven’t seen.”
“Abduction” debuts on September 23 and “The Brothers Grimm: Snow White” will hit theaters on March 16, 2012.
