Boy we are just getting treated left and right to new Amber articles! Check out this Q&A from IGN here. Amber dishes on Mandy Lane, The Pineapple Express and speaks out about her part in The Informers for the first time, judging from her quotes this will most definitely be interesting to say the least!

On The Informers - IGN: So what can we expect?

“Drugs, sex and rock ‘n’ roll. For everyone. It’s brilliant. It’s really gross – I mean that word very specifically. It’s very real. It’s very gritty. It’s very in your face. It’s about decadent, decadent Hollywood. The nastiest, beautiful thing you’ve ever seen. It’s a hard pill to swallow, but very powerful.”

“She’s a bad girl. I play Christie and if I say too much, I’ll give away a very important part of the film. She’s very wealthy and she represents a very strong evil. She does drugs and is very promiscuous. It’s like a Crash-type movie with several different storylines linked by my character.”

I have added a really wonderful interview in the press archive, courtesy of LastBroadcast.co.uk (thanks to Will for sending in the link). It is really probably the best interview I’ve ever read of Amber as she’s asked a variety of questions, both about her movies and personal life. She talks about everything from her most recent favorite films to the cancellation of Hidden Palms. Click here to read full interview.

“I loved There Will Be Blood, even though it’s a difficult movie, and Juno. I don’t really notice many strong female writers in Hollywood that aren’t making films just for men but I’m a big fan of Diablo Cody, as a writer and as a person – she’s a very strong, beautiful, intelligent woman who wrote a brilliant, strong, young female character.”

A red band trailer for Amber’s upcoming Pineapple Express has made it’s way online. You can stream it via this link. You should make note a “red band” trailer means Rated R, you will not be able to access it unless you are above the age of 17 and have a valid driver’s licence. However someone did upload it on Youtube and since I (like many) will not be able to access the official link, I thought I’d post that link as well.

You can see Miss Heard in two blink or miss it shots, but I did cap it and you can view them in the gallery. I know this movie is most certainly not for everybody but I personally can’t wait, love the song by M.I.A. too!

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.”
