After the mess with "Scream," the actress previews what's next for her, from a vampire ballerina flick to more indie cinema.Nick is an entertainment journalist based in New York, NY. If you like pugs and the occasional blurry photo of an action figure, follow him on Twitter @NickARomano.comes alive when she's talking about blood cannons, devices that safely but forcefully shoot fake blood in your face. Between, Barrera is somewhat of an expert.
Another kind looks more like a coffin riddled with holes and placed in the ground — appropriate for a vampire ballerina movie. "It was in a larger area where blood had to go 360 degrees," she recalls. "Once, they had to coordinate everyone to press the air pressure thing and the cannons at the same time, and the blood would just come out of all the different holes in the coffin. It was fun.
Fun is exactly what Barrera feels a lot of Hollywood fare is missing these days. And as she plots her next moves after, she's thinking about what's important to her, especially in her work."Nowadays, everything is so serious. And art, most of the time, is a reflection of the world, so it makes sense that everything is kind of depressing and sad and grave and weighted," she comments.
Barrera didn't want Gillett or Bettinelli-Olpin, two-thirds of the filmmaking team Radio Silence, to feel pressured to work with her again after two movies. "I never want them to feel like theyto cast me in something because we're friends," she says. "They might want to work with someone else, and that's totally valid.
Barrera has always been intentional with the jobs she chooses to pursue, which she acknowledges is a privileged position, even if it didn't start that way. "I started out not having a job and still saying, 'I don't want to audition for that because I know that I'm going to be miserable perpetuating that stereotype or being a part of that kind of movie that I don't even think brings anything good to the universe,'" she says.
