Questions:

1. Gina, your grandparents were adorable at the premiere! Other than obviously being extremely proud, what did they think of Haywire? Was it a little intense for them? 🙂

Sitting next to my Papa and Grandmama on the way to the premier put tears in my eyes, there’s no words to describe sharing a moment like that with them..

2. Gina, is there a specific actor you’d REALLY like to work with in the future? (other than Johnny Depp! HAha!)

Nope, just Johnny.. if we could just make that happen already I could get back to fighting.. haaa Just kidding, no there is a lot of people Id love to work with absolutely.

Questions:

1. Will you ever visit England?

Name: Swinjen
Location: Winona, MS
Questions:

1. With haywire being an action adventure movie, if u were to continue in movies what other genre would u like to tackle?

A dark romance.

2. What do u think of the score that david holmes provided for the movie and the artwork that niel kellerhouse did for the marketing?

I thought they were perfect for the film. They both represented the movie how it is.. authentic.

3. And this is coming from the comic book fan in me. if u were ever really approached for the role of wonder woman would u wear the traditional costume or the redesign that has pants?

I think if Wonder Woman came to this planet she would be a little out of place, still very dominant and inspiring but it could be more played like a Hancock meets Encino Man, with a female lead. Haa I don’t know if that makes sense to anyone else but that’s the way Id want to see her. Id like to see the vulnerability in her as well as her strengths in a realistic way is what I mean. (redesign outfit for sure)

4. Have u seen any good movies lately?

I laughed so hard in Wanderlust and Im looking forward to Hunger Games..

1.  What do you use as inspiration when you’re feeling discouraged or uncertain about your yourself?

Music and the knowledge that this too shall pass. It’s not all bad to be discouraged actually, (as bad as it feels at that moment) its your subconscious pushing you to try harder in a way and telling you what it doesn’t want and then you have to tell your subconscious to shut up cause your working on it! haa. One day at a time.
