Vision Quest
Source: MySpace Celebrity

In The Eye, Jessica Alba strips away the layers of her glamorous Hollywood image and steps into the role of Sydney Wells, a blind musician whose world begins to fall apart after an eye operation leaves her with cellular memory, which gives her the ability to see horrifying grim reapers and the walking-dead. Well, it’s either that, or she’s suffering from delusional visions resulting from the stress of the operation. No one seems to know for sure, including Sydney herself.

“I think that people will walk in with one idea of what this [movie] might be, and walk out affected in a different way,” says Alba. “This movie is far richer than it might seem on the surface, and I hope people will feel more connected to this movie than they expected.”

MySpace Celebrity catches up with Jessica on an unusually dark, stormy night in L.A. to talk about scary movies and why her new flick gave her nightmares:

You mention in the production notes for The Eye that you were looking for “the right thriller/horror movie to do.” What inspired you to pursue a horror story?

I’ve always been a fan of horror films, and I think it’s a really great genre. You get such a visceral reaction when you go to a horror movie, you know? Right away, your heart’s beating fast and you’re cringing and sort of rooting for the main character not to have anything bad happen to ‘em, even though you know it’s inevitable.

What are some of your favorite horror movies?

Nightmare on Elm Street, Psycho, The Birds, Poltergeist, It.

Considering that you had to virtually “live” as femme fatale Sydney Wells while making The Eye, did you have nightmares when you went home from the set each night? Or were you able to mentally remove yourself from that world?

I did remove myself, but I definitely still had some nightmares. (laughs) We were shooting in Albuquerque--and it’s quite a sort of mystical, spiritual place, New Mexico. So, yeah, it was pretty trippy because I did have lots of very vivid dreams.

That’s the sign of a good actress!

(laughs) Yeah.

If you could have an operation, like your character in The Eye, that could give you an added feature or power, what would it be?

The ability to understand and speak any language in the world.

Judging from previous interviews in which you've discussed your artistic goals, it seems that The Eye is the movie you’ve been waiting to make because it presents the opportunity to play a very challenging character. Were there any obstacles you had to hurdle in bringing the character of blind musician Sydney Wells to life?

Yeah, it was definitely a challenge, because I had to play a concert violinist as well as someone who is blind and gains their sight. So I did lots of training. I spent six months learning to play the violin, and spent time with a few blind orientation centers. And I spent a lot of time with a woman who has been blind since she was two, and just observed the way she moves around and gets around the world and does her thing, from pouring water to how she uses her cane in a new space to how she sits and talks and communicates. So she was quite inspiring.

Your roles have been very eclectic—you’ve played a superhero, hip-hop dancer and now you’re the femme fatale in a horror film. Is there any type of character that you still long to play or genre of film that you want to explore?

Yeah. I’m interested in doing action, for sure. I have yet to find a script that is suited, I think, for me to do. Something where you would normally think of a man as being the lead in, but instead it’s me. That’s as far as big movies go. Small movies, I’m more into doing independents more to balance out the big movies. It’s nice not to have the pressure of opening weekend, and to be able to do something that is just creatively fulfilling.

If you could have anyone in history—real or fictitious—as your No. 1 friend on MySpace, who would it be?

Number one? Hmmm... Right now, it’d probably be Obama. (laughs) I’d like to see how he’s doing in all the different states he’s going to; and in all the different cities, seeing how people are taking in his speeches. It would be fun to blog with Obama. (laughs)

Did Myspace Celebrity actually link to this somewhere in their article/interview? I'd like to see that. There are way too many fakes.

Hi Everyone!

Hi Everyone! for the first time i wanted to connect directly with my friends and fans through a blog on myspace. i heard so many wonderful things about blogging but i had never tried it myself. growing up i kept a journal so i guess to a certain degree this is the same thing. With all the movies and magazines there's a certain interpretation of me that for the most part isnt accurate, so here i'm giving you the real me. ever have a question you want to ask me??? go ahead and post it.

I'm excited to use my movie, The Eye to launch this page. I love horror movies. Images from The Eye will stay with you for a while and give you nightmares, which is a good thing as far as I'm concerned. I love paranormal TV shows, whether its the show about a guy who is talking to dead people or the show about "gifted kids" who see the and feel spirits, I cant stay away from them.

well, welcome to my page and my blog. i hope you enjoy. quick question before i go...i need advice on how to become a good blogger - i want to be a blogger that everyone can relate to and one where people really get a good sense of who i am. any ideas how i can make this happen? i appreciate the feedback. thanks and talk soon, jess

I’M BAAAAACK

HI EVERYONE
SO I'VE BEEN ABSENT BECAUSE A. I'VE BEEN PRETTY BUSY.
B. TERRIBLE EXCUSE WHO ISN'T BUSY. C. REAL REASON, I'VE BEEN OBSESSED WITH THIS NEW SITE CALLED IBEATYOU. IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS I'M GOING TO POST A PRIVATE INVITE TO MY MYSPACE FRIENDS. SERIOUSLY IT'S BEEN WARPING MY BRAIN. IT'S A WEBSITE THAT REVOLVES AROUND COMPETITIONS OF EVERY KIND. I'M A COMPETITIVE PERSON BY NATURE SO THE FACT THAT I'M PRACTICALLY DREAMING ABOUT SOME OF THESE COMPS IS TO BE EXPECTED.... SOMEWHAT. LOL.

I PRESENTED LAST NIGHT AT THE OSCARS IT WAS A PRETTY GREAT NIGHT. I LOVE JOHN STEWART THE DAILY SHOW IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SHOWS HANDS DOWN. I WAS ROOTING FOR JAVIER BARDEM, DIABLO CODY AND MARION COTILLARD SO HAPPY FOR THEM ALL. MEETING LIL MISS ELLEN PAGE WAS A HIGHLIGHT, JUNO WAS BY FAR ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES I'VE SEEN. AN INSTANT CLASSIC AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, GREAT WRITING AND A GREAT CAST. ANOTHER HIGHLIGHT WAS THE FACT THAT I DIDN'T MESS UP MY LINES OR TRIP ON MY DRESS (ON STAGE). I DID HAVE A STUMBLE BACKSTAGE OUTSIDE OF THE GREEN ROOM. CASH CAUGHT ONE ARM THE OTHER HIT THE FLOOR. LUCKILY ALL THE PHOTOGS WERE TAKING PICS OF CAMERON D. LOOKING GORGEOUS IN PINK I MIGHT ADD. ANOTHER HIGHLIGHT OF LAST NIGHT WAS INSTEAD OF HITTING UP THE GOVERNORS BALL OR ANY OTHER PARTY, WE OPTED FOR SWEATS AND IN 'N' OUT BURGERS. BEING PREGGERS KIND OF TAKES THE FUN OUT OF PARTYING UNTIL THE WEE HOURS. SLEEP ALWAYS SOUNDS SO MUCH BETTER THESE DAYS.
WELL CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IF YOU ALL GET AS HOOKED ON IBEATYOU AS I AM. IT'S NOT PUBLIC YET SO THIS IS KIND OF A MEMBERS ONLY SITUATION. I'LL BE BACK IN A FEW DAYS TO POST THE LINK. UNTIL THEN LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST PUT OUT ALL THE LOVE INTO THE WORLD YOU WANT IN RETURN. I DO READ YOUR POSTS SO PLEASE CONTINUE TO WRITE. IT'S JUST TOUGH TO RESPOND TO SO MANY AMAZINGLY INSIGHTFUL, THOUGHTFUL PEOPLE. PEACE AND LOVE~JAY_EH

Obsessed with www.ibeatyou.com? Really? What a coincidence:

Aside from keeping busy as a NBA superstar and movie producer, Davis and high school buddy Cash Warren, formed a production company called Verso Entertainment,[9]. Through this collaboration, they also became one of the founders of IBeatYou, a social competition site design to pit the community against one another.

Source

Verso Group Description – The Verso Group is a venture incubator funded by the general partners (70% by Baron Davis) and engaged in a diversified group of businesses. Our portfolio currently consists of Scout-match.com, Life Sports Management, IBeatYou.com, Verso Entertainment, and The TeamPlay Foundation.

Approach - This position will require a very entrepreneurial approach. You will work closely with Baron and with the general partners of the Verso Group, Cash Warren, Gunnar Counselman, Todd Ramasar, and Chad Gordon. Creativeness, initiative and aggressiveness are the most important qualities.

Last Promo Tour for THE EYE
04 mar 2008

Hey guys, I am now in Europe promoting to "the eye." LAST TRIP!!! Went to the Lanvan show and the Rodin museum in Paris...amazing. Also saw Amy Whinehouse perform. She has such an incredible voice. She's definitely a throwback...reminiscent of Ella. I am currently getting my makeup done to go to the premiere of my movie. Can't wait to get home and rest. Every day I have eaten ham and cheese sandwiches, I cant get enough of them. Wish they had these back in the states, the bread is amazing. My tummy is getting bigger by the second and the little one must like the food too because it is moving and kicking like crazy. ITS THE BEST. Have to go but just wanted to check in. JA

PS-
Oh yeah, a lot of people have been asking me for the link to ibeatyou...well here it is. http://www.ibeatyou.com/account/regi...on?rcode=jayeh
Be warned, the site is addictive. Once you join you can be my friend of foe depending on whether you think you can beat me in anything. It's still private and this invite has a limited number so sign up while you can.

Just wanted to let you know that it takes time for Jessica to accept your friend's request. I ended up waiting a month or so but I bet she has 10,000+ requests daily.

I sure wish SMG had a page.
