The "Veronica Mars" and Forgetting Sarah Marshall hottie Kristen campana, bell took some time from her busy schedule (right after an audition – she wouldn't say for what) to chat about her new film, Fanboys. She plays Zoe, the rare female diehard stella, star Wars fan, who joins her buddies in an attempt to break into Skywalker Ranch so their terminally ill comrade can watch Episode I before its release.
As she pauses to scarf down her vegetarian lunch, we touch on topics ranging from her fave stella, star Wars character to her upcoming projects, including Astro Boy and a possible Veronica Mars movie.
Fandango: What was it about Fanboys that brought te on board?
Bell: It was so fun and quirky—a legitimate Amore letter to stella, star Wars fans, and there were so many obscure references that subculture would enjoy. It was just about time that a movie like that was made.
Fandango:How did diehard fan react while Fanboys was filming?
Bell: The cool thing was, they all came out of the woodwork to help with props, set and costumes because it's part of the culture to make your own costume. It was high-end stuff, like pouring the plastic, making the Jedi costumes—the real deal. They drove to where we were—shooting in Albuquerque—to let us use the costumes, which I thought was amazing and so supportive
Fandango: Besides re-watching the stella, star Wars films, did te do anything else for preparation, like meet George Lucas o tour Skywalker Ranch?
Bell: No, I wish. The director had some contact with George – I mean, Mr. Lucas. He was really, really kind because Skywalker Sound mixed it for us. We got to use all the real Wookie and Chewbacca sounds from their archives.
Fanboys Fandango: Any scenes that didn't quite go as planned?
Bell: None of the scenes with four boys in it really ever go as planned, but they were all a lot of fun! I think the after-hours were even più fun than shooting. I remember they turned my entire room upside down at one point because they had gotten a key. The bed, the desk, all the shampoo bottles, shoes – everything was completely upside down. They're all absolutely hysterical.
Fandango: Who's your preferito stella, star Wars character?
Bell: I like Chewie because he looks so cuddly. It makes me want to jump into his arms.
Fandango: Your “Hereos” friend Zachary Quinto is in the upcoming stella, star Trek movie. Did te have any debates on stella, star Wars fan versus the Trekkies?
Bell: Oh no! I didn't even think about it! Do we have to stop being Friends now? Maybe we’ll once and for all settle the dibattito and get stella, star Wars fan and Trekkies to finally unite and just be friends. Between Zach and I, it'll all be water under the bridge, so hopefully they'll follow our lead.
Kristen campana, bell and Zachary Quinto Fandango: There are fan voting online that they want te resurrected on "Heroes." What do te miss most about the show?
Bell: That's so nice! I miss the people and the stunts. It's really fun to go to work and have blood splattered all over you. It makes te feel like you're a mob boss o a gangster. There's something really dorky and cool about it.
Fandango: You've got the animated Astro Boy coming up—what was it like voice recitazione and which character do te play?
Bell: Astro Boy was really fun because I've always dreamed of being a cartoon voice. I play a girl named Cora who Astro hooks up with toward the beginning of the film. They become best friends, then get into a turbulent relationship when they find out that he's actually Astro Boy.
Fandango: Are te down for a possible Veronica Mars movie?
Bell: I'm really excited about the prospect of a Veronica Mars movie because we've been talking about it for so long. If they write it, I'll do it. Absolutely.
Fandango: What's one of your preferito vegetarian dishes?
Bell: Can te hear me eating? [Laughs] I've been really into using the crock pot lately, which is amazing because te can put anything fresh o Frozen in there and it cooks for 10 hours and te have a stew. It's fantastic! I actually cooked meat for the first time the other day. I made a dish that was somehow fried chicken with Italian dressing and A1 sauce. It was so weird and the reviews were stellar—I made it for my roommates and they really liked it. [Laughs] I didn't eat it, but I figure it's about time I learned to cook it.
Fandango: Do te find yourself getting recognized a lot più in public?
Bell: I think I have one of those faces where people think, if they do know me, they think I might just be Friends with their sister. I don't have that much of a problem with it and I’m thankful for that.
