Amanda Seyfried Premieres "Gone" in Hollywood

Arriving to debut her latest film, Amanda Seyfried was busy working the red carpet at the premiere of "Gone" in Hollywood, CA last night (February 21).

The "Mama Mia" actress looked ravishing in a Nina Ricci dress paired with Giuseppe Zanotti shoes as she posed for pictures and spoke to press about the thriller flick.

As for the motion picture's synopsis, "Gone" revolves around Jill (Seyfried), who comes home from work to discover her sister has been abducted by a kidnapper whom Jill escaped from once before. She sets out to save her sister and face the abductor in a heart-pounding, edge-of-your-seat chase. 

Out in theaters this Friday, February 24th-the movie also stars Jennifer Carpenter and Wes Bentley. 

Taking some time out of her hectic schedule to chat movies, Amanda Seyfried recently sat down with the Chicago Sun-Times to discuss her latest projects. 

After wrapping the biopic "Lovelace", the 26-year-old "In Time" star is next up in the big screen version of "Les Miserables" where she'll play the coveted role of Cosette.

The following is a segment from her interview with the Chicago Sun-Times:

You're not known for doing thrillers like "Gone." Was that the appeal?

Thrillers are actually my favorite genre. This particular film was a bit daunting because I'm in a lot of the scenes alone, which is a lot of responsibility. If this is a bomb, this is my responsibility. But I can't focus on box office. I have to care about making good movies that entertain. This film is a puzzle and you're constantly trying to figure out the twists and turns. It's such a fun ride.

How do you keep up the suspense in a film where you have to look afraid all of the time?

It's tough to keep up that level of suspense in your acting. Sometimes to keep my energy up, I would just run in place before the really scary scenes. I'd run until I was out of breath. But that's not enough. The emotion has to be there. It has to live inside of you. What helped here is this is a movie where my sister disappears. I live with my sister now, so it was cool that I could tap into my feelings for my real sister. I kept thinking, "What if my sister was kidnapped?" I know that I'd stop at nothing to find her."

Why did you want to play Linda Lovelace?

I don't think people know the real woman. People have an idea in their minds because she was a porn star. It's a very narrow-minded idea. The truth is Linda had the most unbelievable traumatic experiences in life. She left her parents and had a child when she was 17. Her mom made her give up that child. Linda ran right into the arms of a monster and couldn't escape. The nightmare didn't end until she died. It's an extreme story, but it's real. That's why there were so many people clamoring to make the movie. Linda finally found her voice, but it was too late. She did do a lot for equality.
