RottenTomatoes.com has published a lengthy new Mandy Lane interview with Amber Heard. In it she also discusses The Pineapple Express. Click here to read it but please notice that it also contains some spoilers regarding the movie. You have been warned.
Discussing Mandy Lane: “I got the script in LA and I loved it. This was a movie that was really under the radar; no one was really talking about it. It didn’t have much money and subsequently it didn’t get much attention right off the bat. I found this script and I said, ‘Whoa, I want this movie, I have to do this.’ And it’s different; there are so many things you get where it feels like you’re reading the same girl over and over again. And then I read this script and I thought it was truly different and that it could be done well.”
Discussing Mandy Lane: “Everyone has these expectations, whether they’re subconscious or not, of the glamour and how much fun that you can have in LA and I went with those same expectations. This was my first shoot, my first leading role. I fly to my hometown, funnily enough, to film and I stand out in this field waiting for my hair and make-up. Instead of the chair, instead of the lights, I stand in the middle of a field and have, literally, a bucket of freshly-dug mud dumped on my head. I thought to myself, ‘This isn’t exactly what I expected!’ As I’m lying in a mud-pit having fake blood squirted in my mouth, I think, I love my job!”
Discussing The Pineapple Express: “I play Seth Rogen’s girlfriend. There weren’t any real female characters written into this script other than myself and one other that I can remember and we both have smaller roles when compared to the boys, like many of Judd Apatow’s movies. The women are not very important in the sense of things. I play his girlfriend, a slightly neurotic girl that he happens to be dating. You’re wondering why, on both of our ends.”

I came across a pleasant surprise while browsing the new issue of British Marie Claire (Rachel Weisz cover): Amber is featured inside with a little blurb on her upcoming movies. The photo we’ve already seen multiple times but something new and fun is this quote on Pineapple Express:
“It definitely required a sense of humour”, she says of the improv comedy, which also starts the latter film’s slacker, Seth Rogen. “But I don’t think I’m funny at all. That’s the most hilarious thing.”

When I got the script it was like falling in love. It was one of those moments when you read something and you instantly know it’s really special. It was so different. As a young actress just starting out in Los Angeles, you read so many scripts that want to pigeonhole you. They put you into a category as the pretty, young girl and nothing more. You’re always the girlfriend, there to support the rest of the characters. I read so much of that stuff when I moved here and Mandy Lane was just the opposite. The writing is so beautiful, so brilliant. I read the script and I knew there was something different about this character.
