Mila Jovovich And the husband Paul Ws Anderson They worked together nine times over the years – but their first creative cooperation did not start all this smoothly.

“There was one point during the first Vampire Where I had black photography director and I had black eyes because Mila had gone, “Anderson, 60, participated exclusively in US weekly Delay In the conversation Series with JOVOVICH, 49, on newspapers selling now.

While Anderson, who directed the film, explained that Juvenic’s punch was not “in anger”, Jovovic admitted that her husband “asked for it” – literally.

“She explained to me in an impossible position. “Paul said,” Just punch directly in the camera as if you were the camera. “But he didn’t have a camera, so I just burdened him directly in the eye.”

Anderson, however, had a different look at misunderstanding. Well, I imagined that [Milla] Do you imagine that there is a front camera. It takes it around this space “this”, but it only imagined that the back of my head was the lens. ” [then] only, Mother. So I saw how strong the punches could be in real life. “

Jovovich played Alice in the 2002 movie The Post-OCLYPTIC Reilller, one of the survivors of a global pandemic that faces the defeat of a zombie hordes that she created for her previous workplace. It would continue to become the face of the concession through seven films – all directed by Anderson.

While Jovovich is synonymous with Vampire Now, the drop in the job was not as easy as I expected. JOVOVICH was angry at the fact that Anderson tested it for this role after a championship for the interview Bruce Willis in The fifth elementBut she finally agreed to the conditions.

I have done [read for the role]. I read with a very good friend for me, Jason IshaqAnderson summoned the test. “He was in the city and he is like,” I want to come and help, anything I can do. “So he read with Mila.”

Once the reading ended, it was clear to White Lotus star The chemistry between Anderson and Jovic was not only in front of the camera.

He left Mila, Jason turned to and said: “Well, that’s all. “And I said,” Do you think it’s great for the movie? “He said,” Oh, forget the movie. Anderson told you and here. we. “So he felt that there was some electricity in the room, and he was not wrong.”

Anderson and Jovic continued to link the knot in 2009, and they have since welcomed three girls: any time, 17, Dishil, 9, and Osian, 5. They also cooperated in various projects outside the world of Resident Evil, including 2011 The three poor people2020 Monster And 2025 In the lost lands.

For Anderson, the best part of working closely beside his wife occurs directly before all the truly defined chaos begins.

“In the first half of the hour when you and me are only with a group of a cup of coffee before the crew appears where we are talking about today, which is pure creativity without 150 people there, and asked questions,” said Jovic, noting that these quieter moments are “great freedom” for them. “It’s a great time to create, communicate with our surroundings, communicate with the group. They really understand.”

The couple was able to do all of this and more than his last movie, In the lost landsThat struck the theaters on March 7 and works as the film’s air conditioner George R. Martin A short story of the same name. Jovovich plays the role of the strong, gray witch, opposite Dave Botista Quiet cows similar to Boyce, with Anderson on the exit chair.

As for how the couple participated in the film, Anderson admitted that it was Jovovic who brought him the idea and presented him to the script writer Constantine Werner. Jovovich called it the real “passion” project, which took nearly seven years to complete it.

“For me, the film was a wonderful mixture of two things that I love. It was fictional stories for adults [the theme is]”Be careful what you wish because bad things will happen,” Anderson explained. “[And] Because this is the story of George M Martin, and it was also Western. I felt that George wrote this story about two people who did not necessarily trust each other who had to go out on a mission together and learn to respect each other and take care of each other. “

He continued, “This really reminded me of the films that I loved as a child. He loves Good, bad and uglY, Two mules of Sister Sarah These iconic and strong films in the 1960s and 1970s. “

As for reaching her team with her husband again, JOVOVICH was rushed to share what she loves most about Moses.

“I respect and love when managers know what they want,” she said. “It was one of the first parts that he gave me in the first resident evil,” Do not do it again. “

In the lost lands in theaters now.
