ALI LARTER IS OBSESSED (APRIL, 2009)
|
|
Ali Larter (Heroes) stars as the latest and greatest femme fatal in Sony's Obsessed, alongside Beyonce, Jerry O'Connell and Idris Elba. Following in the footsteps of classic films like The Hand the Rocks the Cradle and Fatal Attraction, Obsessed centers around Derek Charles (Idris Elba), a successful asset manager who has just received a huge promotion, is blissfully happy in his career and in his marriage to the beautiful Sharon (Beyonce Knowles). But when Lisa (Ali Larter), a temp worker, starts stalking Derek, all the things he's worked so hard for are placed in jeopardy. |

ALI LARTER CALLS ALLENTOWN A 'SAFE HAVEN' FROM STARDOM
|
Ali Larter knows how to play the baddest bad girl this side of Sharon Stone: Push yourself to your emotional, physical and mental limits -- and then lit it rip.
While shooting ''Obsessed,'' a charged-up erotic thriller in the guilty-pleasure tradition of ''Basic Instinct'' and ''The Last Seduction,'' Larter was simultaneously filming TV's ''Heroes,'' which translated into 12-hour work days, seven days a week.
''It took me to a place of such extreme exhaustion,'' she says. ''But it also made me raw. It forced me to stay in the moment.'' |
Oct. 2 -- 'Heroes' stars Ali Larter, Hayden Panettiere and Sendhil Ramamurthy aren't yet recognizable names, but chances are they soon will be.
The new NBC sci-fi drama won its time slot when it debuted last week, attracting a whopping 14 million viewers. On the show about ordinary people who discover they possess extraordinary abilities, Larter plays a single-mom making ends meet by working as a stripper, Panettiere stars as a high school cheerleader and Ramamurthy portrays a young professor on a quest to uncover the truth about his father's death. |
DAVID: Let me ask the first question. What color is your hair tonight?
ALI: (laughs) Are you serious?
DAVID: Yeah. I saw you with different colored hair in every interview.
ALI: I'm back to my normal color, which is like brown and blonde. It was red for a movie I made called Next To You. I played a grunge girl. So I'm back to my normal color. Thank God. I want to say "Hi" to my sister Kristen. And that I love her so much. And I wish I were closer to her!
DAVID: Okay... let's take an audience question. |

For Larter, simplicity is the key in all matters

For Larter, simplicity is the key in all matters

When it comes to dying, "Final Destination 2" star Ali Larter hopes to keep it simple.
"I would just want to go in my sleep, and hopefully not before my parents," says the actress. "None of this elaborate death for me."
At 26, Larter hasn't had much reason to think about expiring except on the job. She was the only main cast member to survive the Grim Reaper in the 2000 hit "Final Destination," and she returns to do battle in "Final Destination 2," now playing in theaters.
It takes some coaxing, but Clear Rivers (Larter) risks her own life to help out a group of people who have survived a horrific highway pileup that takes place on the anniversary of the crash of Flight 180. As with Clear and her friends, who heeded a premonition and skipped the doomed flight, the strangers who so miraculously were spared the highway crash soon start dying in bizarre ways, and the rest of them want Clear to share pointers on evading Death.
"I think that they figured out the formula, and they just made all those death sequences bigger and better," says Larter.
Larter, who has appeared in nine films, beginning with the 1999 hit "Varsity Blues," initially had concerns about attaching herself to a sequel.
"I've changed on an emotional level," she says. "I've done different movies... But when it came down to it, I was totally flattered that New Line invited me back."
Although Tony "Candyman" Todd makes a return appearance as mysterious mortician Mr. Bludworth, Larter and Michael Landes ("Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman") are the only leads with familiar faces, and the burden of bridging the original and the sequel fell on Larter.
"There's definitely some (pressure) sitting on my shoulders," she says, but it doesn't bother her at all. "We brought this back for the fans of the first one. ... I think they're gonna be really happy with it. I believe in this movie. I think that people are gonna go and have a ton of fun."
Larter likes to focus on the positive side of things, probably because her still-married parents provided "a loving environment where it was impossible to fail." Born and reared in Cherry Hill, N.J., she started modeling at 13, traveling into Manhattan to work.
"My life moved a lot faster than most people in high school because I was going to New York City, and I was getting the experiences of being around all these people that had different views on the world," she says. "It was just so inspiring, on every level."
She skipped her senior year in high school and spent only one semester at college before returning to modeling, which she saw as a means to an end.
"I feel so lucky with my life," says Larter. "I was never one of those models that got involved in drugs. For me, it was about getting the opportunity to travel around the world.
Even when her movies don't turn out as well as she hopes - she mentions "American Outlaws" - the process makes them worthwhile.
"I have no regrets because I have no power over how a movie is going to be,"she says. "For me, it's about the experience of making the movie ... You can't look at the end result as being the culmination of your experience."
She can't name a favorite.
"Each one is amazing in different ways," she says. "When I think of 'Legally Blonde,' it was the first time that I got to play a character in that kind of big comedy, so that was really fun for me."
She tried a different kind of comedy in Kevin Smith's "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back."
"I think he's hysterical, so working with him was really cool," she says.
Larter has moved back from Los Angeles to New York and is about to start shooting an independent film titled "The Tenants," which is set in 1970.
"I'm just starting to research that," she says. "It was such a revolutionary time. For me, I think that this ... may be really what I've been looking for."
She's convinced that her acting-career journey has taken just as long as it should have.
"I've kind of been figuring things out as I go along," she says. "But after I was in New York doing 'The Vagina Monologues,' I'm just - on a personal level and a creative level - ready to look a little harder and deeper." |

By Stephen Schaefer, Special for USA TODAY
NEW YORK - Anyone who saw Varsity Blues and remembers Ali Larter as an
overenthusiastic high school cheerleader in a whipped-cream bikini might have
trouble placing her in this week's Final Destination.
"You mean the dark hair and bangs?" Larter, back in all her familiar blondness,
teases over coffee. "I didn't want people to look at me and think I was the
blond cheerleader. I wanted people to believe this."
"This" is Final Destination, directed by X-Files series veteran James Wong. The
movie stars Devon Sawa as Alex, who has a premonition that the plane his high
school French class is on will crash. He bolts, followed by a teacher, played
by Larter, and others. When the aircraft explodes after takeoff, the survivors
discover Death comes stalking each of them.
What kind of wacko movie is this, anyway?
"When I read it, I was doing House on Haunted Hill, and I was excited," Larter
says. "So many teen movies are fluffy. Sure, you can't take this too seriously;
it's a fun ride. It's got the best deaths of any movie I've seen, and it's
scary. But it makes you think about fate and destiny when you leave."
With two horror films to her credit, Larter says: "I'm not a big fan of horror
movies. . . . . But if you're in high school, you want to see other teens on
screen and get that rush from being scared. . . . Psychological thrillers are
something my parents can relate to."
Born in Cherry Hill, N.J., Larter credits her mother with getting her started.
Mom drove her into Manhattan to model at 13. "I'd been called Alison my whole
life, and when I started modeling, they called me Ali, and it stuck."
Five years ago she moved to L.A. and was in acting classes when she was hired
for an Esquire cover. "It was like another modeling gig," or so she thought.
But the 1996 cover billed her as Allegra Coleman, Hollywood's new "It" girl. It
was sheer fantasy, an invented "It" girl to show how nuts the media go over
celebrities. "No one expected it to be a big thing, but it became infamous,"
she says. "Hollywood got a kick out of it, and it gave me the opportunity to
get in the door."
Five years later, "I'm in such a different place. Now it's time for the fun to
begin." After four months filming Final Destination in Vancouver, British
Columbia, she headed to Allentown, Pa., where her parents live.
"Teen movies have been great for me, but I've decided to chill out a little and
wait for something else to come along. I've just turned 24 and would like to do
something closer to home and to express things that fit more naturally with my
life."
