Jolene Blalock on Typecasting as a Science-Fiction Actress

Features

By GustavoLeao / 20:43, 23 February 2008 / General Genre/SciFi

io9 posted a brief interview with former Star Trek Enterprise actress Jolene Blalock, who plays "tough pilot" Captain Lola Beck in the upcoming Direct-to-DVD sci-fi sequel Starship Troopers Marauder, directed by original Starship Troopers scribe Ed Neurmeier. Here are a few excerpts from the article.

At a panel at Wondercon this weekend, Blalock was asked about her character of Captain Beck, and said "She's a no-nonsense staraight shooter, who shoots from the hip but also has a heart of gold."

Regarding being typecasting as a science-fiction actress because of her role as T'Pol in Enterprise, Blalock said "The reason I've done a lot of science fiction is because my first big job was Star Trek, [so] a lot of the offers i get are science fiction. The universe shines down on me, in a psychobabble way. That's what's inside me, and so that's what the universe offers me."

The full article, with photos of Blalock at Wondercon, can be found here.

I dont know if I will give this DVD a chance. This is the second sequel. In 2004 was produced the DVD sequel Starship Troopers 2: Hero of the Federation, one of the most awful sci-fi low budget B-movies I have ever seen. And now this. Poor Jolene.

However according to the article the third film is actually going to be based upon Robert Heinlein's source material for once. That's good enough for me to give it a look.

I'm going to either netflix it or if the wait is long then download it. If I like it I'll buy it. If not then I won't.
