Lauren Lee Smith: Sci-fi Wire 8/26/02
Smith Tackles Freddy, Jason
Lauren Lee Smith told SCI FI Wire that she would be among the stars of Freddy vs. Jason when the long-awaited face-off between the horror icons commences production Sept. 8 in Vancouver, B.C. "Ronny Yu [Bride of Chucky] is going to direct it," Smith said in an interview. "I'm going to play a character named Gibb."
Smith, who portrays Emma deLauro on the syndicated TV series Mutant X, added, "Gibb is a really fun character. She's sort of this tomboy, a party girl, really crazy and out there. And she doesn't quite make it. [My scenes] are actually at a rave. It should be a really, really fun part. I'm really excited about it."
So who gets to kill Gibb—Freddy (Robert Englund) or the still-yet-to-be cast Jason? "I guess you'll just have to see," Smith said, laughing. "Maybe both. I've seen most of the Friday the 13th movies, but I've only seen the first Nightmare on Elm Street. I just could not see another one. I saw A Nightmare on Elm Street when I was about five years old, and I swear to God, I slept with my mom for the next 10 years. I was completely terrified, and I've not seen one of the films since then. So this should be interesting. It's going to be a crazy schedule for the next two months, but I think Mutant X is going to let me off for an episode or two to go back to Vancouver and do that."
