With back-to-back movie releases,Vanessa Hudgensis hotter than ever.
She stars in"Beastly"(in theaters Friday), an updated version of"Beauty and the Beast"that's set inNew York City. And the 22-year-old kicks butt and carries an automatic weapon in the action-fantasy film"Sucker Punch,"opening March 25.
In"Beastly,"Hudgens playsLindy Owens, the"Beauty"role, falling for a classmate who has been turned into an ugly duckling by a witch who doesn't like his attitude.
Much of the movie takes place in aBrooklynbrownstone and on the city's streets. But it was actually shot inMontreal.
Thanks to shrewd set designers, Hudgens didn't have too much trouble faking it. But she was happy to spend some time in the realNew Yorkrecently, where she hit Fashion Week and even got a neck tattoo.
Did you watch theDisneyversion of"Beauty and the Beast"as a kid?
Oh yes, of course! I grew up wanting to be a Disney princess."Beauty and the Beast"was one of my favorite films. It was just a beautiful tale and one that was really close to my heart.
The film is set inManhattanand Brooklyn, but was shot inCanada. How did the cameras capture a New York City look?
We shot in Montreal, and old Montreal has a very rustic, New Yorkish feel with very old buildings and old streets. So we kind of capture it through that. We used some of those exteriors. We really tried to use places that felt like they had history.
Hudgens stars oppositeAlex Pettyferin the fantasy romance 'Beastly.' (Beastly)
There are some scenes on a Brooklyn rooftop, and in the background is this gorgeous view of the Manhattan skyline. What were you guys really looking at?
Our set designer actually painted a beautiful backdrop that was stunning. They put lights behind it and it really looked like the New York skyline.
Kyle (the Beast) tries to impress your character by buying her expensive purses and shoes, but she's happy with just Jujyfruits. What are the best and worst gifts you ever received?
Best gift would be, one time I was given a television, which was awesome considering I make movies. And the worst gift— I honestly don't think there's such a thing as a bad gift. If somebody gives me something and it's not something I'd use, I'm thankful for the thought.
Your"Beastly"character sees beyond physical beauty. What do you look for in a guy?
Somebody who is just true to themselves. Someone who's loyal and honest.
You were spotted at a fewNew York Fashion Weekshows. How did you like the events?
It was very exciting becauseMarc Jacobswas my very first sit-down runway fashion show I've ever been to. AndAnna Wintourwas sitting across from me, which was the most surreal moment I had. I got to go backstage and meet Marc, and it was just a fantastic night.
What are some of the cool things you get to do in"Sucker Punch"?
I play a character named Blondie— I know, I'm not blond, but it's kind of an ironic thing. My character does a few things out of fear. And when you do things out of fear, it's usually not the smartest decision. That's why it's Blondie. And she is a total badass. I got to do some amazing things. I have a tomahawk fighting sequence. I run around with a SAW (squad automatic weapon), which is actually aRambogun, and shoot at zombie Nazis. And I trained for a few months on the movie withNavy SEALs, working out super-hard. My very first day I was there, I was dead-lifting 130 pounds, and by the end I was doing 180.
