There’s something about how seriously Jessica Biel and Access Hollywood take this behind-the-scenes look at “Powder Blue,” her upcoming B-movie stripper film that’s apparently so bad it’s going straight to DVD that it cracks us up. You’d think she’s been taught by Stella Adler and gone in deep underground cover to research the role or something. Director Timothy Linh Bui‘s CV doesn’t inspire much confidence, nor does his penchant for always hiring Patrick Swayze in a major lead role, so it’s no big wonder this thing will bypass theaters.
“I’ve gained such a greater respect for the women that actually do this for a living. It’s so difficult,” Biel told Access. Yes, she’s in ridiculously good shape for the role, but maybe she should just stick to modelling and not let words come out of her mouth anymore. Here’s the trailer, it looks like moody exoctica gone bad. It does feature Ray Liotta and Forest Whitaker who are no acting chumps, so if it’s going straight to DVD, presumably a decent idea went awry. And here’s the Access Hollywood interview.
